• ASKavya creating registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE accessible by all

  Hello, Basically I have an application (dll) that allows admins to configure a system wide configuration that is accessible (read-only) by normal users. The system wide configuration is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. The code of course works on Windows 2000/XP but not on Vista because of, as I suspect, the fact that the information is stored in the virtual store under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. When the admin stores the new configuration and a normal user attempts to use the configuration (in a different security context) they receive a unknown registry key error as the information is, of course, not available. As I understand reading through the forum setting the "run-level" using a manifest file allows me to skip the virtualization and w ...Show All

• KThelen Errors in winnt.h file using visual c++ 2005 express edition and mar. 15 sdk

  Hello. I get the following errors when I try to include winnt.h in my code. I tried using the newest sdk as well as the previous release, and both files seem to generate the same errors. This must be a common problem, but I haven't seen the answer. I'm including stdio.h, xlcall.h, windef.h and winnt.h in my code. Maybe I need to include another header. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

• Oliver 123 VIDEOINFOHEADER does not update image dimensions

  I have some DirectShow code that loads video clips and plays them onto OpenGL textures. The problem I have is that the VIDEOINFOHEADER returned from the SampleGrabber does not update the bmiHeader.biWidth when changing from a 640x480 to a 720x480 clip. I release the SampleGrabber and all DS filters before rebuilding the chain and clear out the AM_MEDIA_TYPE structs before calling the SampleGrabber's GetConnectedMediaType method. I have the Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK, have built the DS samples as debug and develop on XP SP2. Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated. This may actually be a codec specific problem. I'm using ffdshow for MJPEG decompression and it has this problem ...Show All

• wgwolf how to restart workflow runtime after IIS restart

  My question is for workflow exposed as web service through webserviceinputactivty/webserviceoutputactivity. My impression is that workflow runtime is only started after the first web service call. My test workflow has 3 activities: webserviceinput, webserviceoutput, delay. SqlPersistence service is enabled. The workflow is activitied through a web call. When executing the delay activity, it's persisted to the database. Then I shut down the web server (ASP .NET development server). When the web server restarted, the timer already expired but the workflow was not resumed. Only after I made another call to the web service, the timer fired. I did an experiment in a winform application. When the application starts next time, the timer fir ...Show All

  Is it possible to use transactionscope and in the {} to use sql and msmq msmq is the datasource and the sql is the target. I wan't it to be transactional Could't find a sample for it . Is that possible Thanks Avi TransactionScope and System.Transactions should work with System Hibernate. Finally found the problem.

• LibertySt GoTo Activity

  Hi Is there a custom activity which implements the functionality of GO TO thanks Bobs If your workflow is a State Machine workflow with multiple states, then you can have SetState activities which when executed will take the execution to the designated state. This is the closest thing to a goto. Steve Danielson [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. A possible solution to bypass the lack of GOTO in a SequentialWorkflow may be to use the EventHandlingScopeActivity . For a description of the technique and a sample project, you can see here .

• yoshikatsu Why have nested transaction rules changed?

  I'm very annoyed by the change in nested transactions. Previously it was perfectly ok to nest a transaction with a different isolation level to the current Tx providing it didn't ask for a stronger isolation level. Now it seems it has to be exactly the same. This has made porting from Enterprise Services to System.Transaction a complete nightmare! Why the change, it makes a mockery of ambient transactions since now every component has to understand what Tx they're in...surely this is a mistake or I've missed something Thanks for the reply and the clarification. I empathise with the dilema of, should we do exactly what the nested component wants, should we error or should we enlist it but at our current isolation level. Perso ...Show All

  Hi everyone. I have a problem with a new installation of Windows Vista beta 2 build 5384 x64. After the installation the PC booted in normal mode, but I see only a blank screen without any cursor or information. I am able to boot into safe mode (I managed to install the nVidia 88.61 from there) and log on, but when I reboot into normal mode I can't see anything appearing on screen. I also tried to manually update the driver from the Device Manager in safe mode and nothing. I tried even to boot in "Allow unsafe drivers to load" but no gain.
