• BuddhaDave creating desktop on vista and launch IE on it

  Hi, All I run into some issue with creating a new desktop on windows vista: If I create a 2nd desktop using CreateDesktop (with NULL for security attributes), and launch an IE using CreateProcess() on the 2nd desktop from default desktop, it will be created with medium integrity level and a pop up on the 2nd desktop mentioning that Admin rights is required w/o real IE displayed. However, launch an IE using CreateProcess() on default desktop directly is OK(and in low integriy level). Then I tried launching an IE using CreateProcess() on default desktop from 2nd desktop instead, it works fine with an IE with low integrity level appeared on default desktop. So, how can I enable same behavior on 2nd desktop as the default one - IE c ...Show All

• pc0416 problems with graphics and sleep mode

  Ill start with the graphics problem I'm running RC1 on my laptop (IBM Thinkpad R31) and everything is compatible. The problem is that i cannot get my graphics card initialized. It installs the driver but it tells me that i can't turn it on. It doesn't make sense to me The graphics controller is the Intel 82830M. Like i said it will install the driver but it won't activate it. The other problem is that my Sleep mode is unavailable. Being a laptop i need either sleep mode or hibernate....and i dont have it. im afraid these forums are for software development and not technical support for Vista therefore I have to ask you to post your question to the appropriate communities: www.microsoft.com/comm ...Show All

• shekhar saran web services

  Hello, am I correct to understand that there is no .NET framework integration yet I am wondering what support for calling web services there will be in v1 release. The usage I am thinking for WPF/E is to have XAML+C# as a complete front-end, using no javascript, and talking to backend web services. Does this sound like a reasonable usage that will be well-supported and is a goal for the WPF/E initiative To me it does not look like the December CTP supports this. Thanks, Brad Williams Did you see http://www.nikhilk.net/WPFEAndScriptSharp.aspx Thanks for your responses. I am not trying to build something right now, I am trying to think ahead for late 2007 projects, a ...Show All

• Bishnupada Mukhopadhyay How do we do a clean install for Feb CTP?

  I've got Visual Studios 2k5 with SP1 If i try to uinstall the Dec Template I get "This template is dependent on the Microsoft Visual Studios 2005 Web Application Projects and its dependencies.

• AnthonyUK Protected Registry key access under Vista.

  Well I see the /basic./ problem. On 2k/xp the local administrator has the right to alter the permission of the registry keys in question from regedit (as well as by using the above code). On Vista the same operation in regedit itself returns an Access Denied error. So the default permissions HAVE changed on certain registry keys and/or the local admins ACL. It seems that write permission or the ability to change access at all is now only allowed by the SYSTEM account. Would I also be right in thinking that there is no way that a program run under an administrator account possibly impersonate a SYSTEM user Has the ability to add data to this key now just been made compeltely impossible via code or account access Specifically: H ...Show All

• Hamish_Crerar Orca MSI Editor

  I want to create a simple installer for a certain dbms vendor's "instant" client. Apart from copying the libs, I have to modify the "PATH" environment variable for all users of the system and broadcast a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message, as there seems to be no better way to advertise a dll's location. [ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164501 , http://support.microsoft.com/kb/104011 ] To achieve this, Windows installer has WriteEnvironmentStrings and RemoveEnvironmentStrings actions. But with the tools I have and understand (Visual Studio 2005 Pro), these actions cannot be configured. So I figured I might fiddle a little in the resulting installer file using orca.exe.
