Hi,
I have developed a VB application in VS2005 and deployed it sucessfully to
XP using an MSI file built with a standard VS setup project. The MSI creates
some keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\Software. However when deploying to Vista,
although the setup completes without error, the registry entries are not
created. This occurs even when run by an administrator or when running the
setup.exe using "Run As Administrator".
I'm very new to Vista so I'm hoping there's a simple and very obvious
solution. Any ideas, anyone?

Add a manifest to the assembly. Here's an article on the subject: http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archiv...06/568563.aspx

Thanks Kevin for your reply. I'm starting to think that installation is just
the start of my problems and that the solution really needs to be re-designed
for Vista. I think UAC, although probably a good thing, is going to force
developers to rethink the way applications access the registry and file
system. That's probably the idea!
Thanks,
Pete

If you develop for others, you probably have multiple versions of Access
installed so you can edit and create MDEs for clients in different versions.
This works fine under Windows XP, even with Access 2007 installed.
It does *not* work under Windows Vista Ultimate. After running Access 2007,
when you open an earlier version of Access, no code works, because the
references are fouled up. And Access 97 does not work at all.

Hello,
I'm looking for some best practice advice on deploying a 32-bit WinForms app
on 32-bit Vista as regards file locations.
The app will be written in Visual Studio.NET 2005 and will be compiled into
a single executable with some values stored in the app.config file - the
user needs to be able to update these values.
The app also will use a Jet database.

I'm currently looking at the access developer extensions for creating an MSI

1) Doesn't look like we have the ability to set a packaged file to always
overwrite, or never overwrite, unless I'm missing something. This could be a
sticking point, as I would always want the program to overwrite on
re-installing, but NEVER the back end database. I have a few more...

I wrote a VB application for a friend's laptop. Originally, it was installed
on an XP OS.
He has since purchased a new laptop with Vista installed and has installed
my VB application.
I have a newer version of the application which I would like to install, but
the currently installed application does not appear in the Add/Remove
utility in Vista.
Any idea on how I can remove the old version?

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.

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,...
