• Faraz_Ahmed Missing Windows component

  Hello, On Vista RC2 without Flash, after I close my app, I get this message titled "Program Compatibility Assistant": ... "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows." I don't want this message to appear. My app detects whether Flash is installed or not. BOOL IsFlashInstalled() { SafeOleInit(); // return AfxGetThreadState()->m_bNeedTerm || AfxOleInit(); CLSID clsid = CFlashActiveXControlBase().GetClsid(); CComPtr<IClassFactory> pFactory; return SUCCEEDED(CoGetClassObject(clsid, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER | CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER, NULL, IID_IClassFactory, (void**)&pFactory)); } If Flash is not installed, the function above properly returns FALSE, and Vis ...Show All

• AbhilashN Which Vista version for developers

  As a developer, I needed Windows XP Pro (as opposed to XP Home ) in order to get the IIS webserver on my machine. I want to make sure I get the correct version of Vista. Which versions come with IIS installed Thanks !!! To answer your specific question, I'd say either Business or Ultimate include IIS from the articles I've seen on TechNet.  It has to be installed after Windows of course. To be more general, I think the only development environment currently fully supported on Vista is VB6.  Perhaps VS2005 has been fixed by now.  The last thing I read suggested using VS2005 or earlier in a VPC running Windows XP Pro. I'm sure someone can make a more authoritative statement about the subject than I can ...Show All

• ahmed921983 Communicating a WorkflowAuthorizationException result from a web service call

  Hi I've already posted on this issue before but never got any answer that solved my problem. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=791955&SiteID=1 . Please have a look at this post to get some more background. My solution to getting an exception result back to the client is to allow the workflow to throw exceptions all the way up to the root of the workflow and terminate. The webservice activities will report this as a result of the call. I then, looking at another post, changed one of the SqlPersistenceService stored procedures slightly to not remove the instance from the InstanceState table for this type of termination of the workflow. Effectively throwing the in memory workflow instance away and maintaining ...Show All

• MSJ17 Problem with DuplicateHandle

  Hi, I have a COM server written in C# that automatically creates a user in Active Directory if he doesn't exist, logs the user in, duplicates the Handle to the user's token and passes it to another process. Now, if the user is already created, everything works perfectly and I can access the user's token from the client process. However, if I create the user in the code and then try to log him in and duplicate the token, I get an error on DuplicateToken, error code 6 - ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. But the user gets created in Active Directory and the next around, everything works because the user is already created. Does anyone have any idea why this might happen Thanks in advance. Here's the code I'm using: // try to authenticate use ...Show All

• BunnyStrider Is this doable? How? Thanks

  Let's say we're in a workflow that we designed in VS2005 and half way through the workflow we have a group of activities that we want to execute in parallel. At design time, we don't know how many parallel runs we'll have nor do we know the actual parameter values that will be passed into each parallel run. So, we have an activity that return an array of parameters and we want to run the next few activities as a group. We want to run them in parallel and each of them need to use one of the parameters in the array. Does this make any sense and what would be a best practice Also, is it possible to run these activities on multiple hosts to lessen the processing burden Thanks CostasZ So I'd ...Show All

• Bradley Reynolds CBaseFilter::Notify

  How can I use Notify member from Filter I've implemented IMediaEventSink interface on my filter class (I dont forget changed my NondelegatingQueryInterface method).

• rallenh How to write an app that needs elivated privledges that doesn't bug the user.

  I have asked this in many places and no one seems to know. Perhaps since this is a MS forum, they can find someone who actually knows. What I have is this: 1. An application that runs for every user when they log in. 2. It regularly does operations that require 'elivated' privledges, such as adding to the route table, changing / reading from the registry, and many more things. It is a NAC type app, and that is why it needs to do these things. What I need to know how to do on vista is: 1. Does NOT bug the user for elivation. 2. Operates with any user, including limited users, but is still able to do all these privledged operations without hasseling the user. The Installer can hassle the user for elivation, but once it i ...Show All

• Asher Aslan Physical Screen Orientation

  Hi everyone. I was hoping you would be able to help me with a problem. I bought a Toshiba Tablet PC a few weeks ago (loving it) and included with it are little programs made by Toshiba that help with things such as hardware specific features (ie. the Fn key which lets me change brightness or volume with a key combination, etc.). This was quite handy but there is a couple of problems. First, these little programs are only installed when I use my Toshiba OEM Windows XP Installation CD. And now that I've sworn off XP and moved to Vista, these programs are no longer available. And secondly, I don't know about you guys but I find the evasiveness and user experiences of these little applets annoying. They have their own notification icons whi ...Show All

• ruleDWorld DIY information cards - Issue with enveloping signature

  Hi, it looks like I could need some help. My situation is following: - I create DIY cards through some homegrown Java code - I sign these DIY cards with Apache xmlsec version 1.3 (latest release).

Errors in reading the imported card file. " in the event log (Event ID 260) - The signature verification seems to work (if I manipulate the signed data, I get the event description " An incoming identity could not be validated. Signature could not be verified. ") - The signature path validation seems to work (if I removed the trusted certificate, I ge ...Show All

• flypp3r I do not get frames when I return S_OK in CheckMediaType

  When I connect my filter in the graph it calls checkmediatype until I return S_OK once it has done this I try and run the graph. I successfully find a YUY2 subtype but after I return S_OK it dose not call DoRenderSample for each frame. If I return S_OK for the first Video type I find it does it just fine. If you need more information I can give you all of the code it is really small but the video I am trying it with is really large. Thank you in advance. struct Sampler : public CBaseVideoRenderer { Sampler( IUnknown* unk, HRESULT *hr ) : CBaseVideoRenderer( __uuidof (CLSID_Sampler), NAME( "Sample Filter" ), unk, hr) { }; HRESULT CheckMediaType( const CMediaType *media ) { if (media-&g ...Show All

• MillBear Storing Downloader's retrieved data

  Is there a way to store the data that is retrieved by using the Downloader object, so that it can be assigned to a MediaElement or Image using the SetSource() method, at a later time For instance: var downloadedMedia = new Array(); ... function OnCompleted(sender, args) { if (sender.uri == "Image0.png") downloadedMedia[0] = sender; if (sender.uri == "Image1.png") downloadedMedia[1] = sender; } ... Download all media one after the other ... myImage0.setSource(downloadedMedia[0]); myImage1.setSource(downloadedMedia[1]); This won't actually set myImage0 to be "Image0.png" because downloadedMedia[0] gets updated to point at "Image1.png" when the OnCompleted method g ...Show All
