I have a client for whom I have developed several ASP.NET applications and
web services.
They recently upgraded their web servers to very large (>2TB) storage
capacities.
*UPDATED INFO*
I tried installing the applications on an array of approximately 1TB in
size, and the setup fails with disk-size errors there as well
*UPDATED INFO*
Now, the setup.exe packages created by my ASP.NET deployment projects will
no longer install -- as they report that there is insufficient disk space
available for the installation.
The client is not enthused about this.
As a short-term solution, I have installed the code using good-old Xcopy and
it works that way, of course, but the client want their "Add/Remove
Programs" interface capability back.
What is the solution?

my bet is that the setup engine you are using is borking with an overflow.
to confirm this try installing it onto a drive that is substansually
smaller - if the setup engine has no issues then you may have nailed the
problem.
i may be wayy off track but i thaught i wold give it a go - good luck

Yes, I realize that the setup.exe is having a problem with the large
drives -- and yes it works fine with smaller drive partitions. It is only
after the large drive upgrades that the installation problems occur.
Unfortunately none of these facts make the client any happier, or the
process any less broken.

ASP.NET deployement project setup.exe files "see" large drive partitions as
negative size -- and therefore will not install on them.
This is bad.
Having to teach my clients how to install using xcopy is bad.
Not having an easily removable entry in 'Add/Remove' programs is bad.
Any clues on when this will be fixed?

Create a setup.exe deployment package and try to execute it on a server with
2TB of disk space. The installer will report that the drive is negative in

When will this likely be fixed?

I need to access large files > 2GByte (Linux, WinXP/NTFS)

Till today I thought I know how to do it, namely for
Win32:
Use open(), read(), _itelli64(), _lseeki64() with type __int64
Linux/Cygwin:
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
Use open(), read(), lseek() with type off_t

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
