• Software Development for Windows Vista rpcndr.lib not shipped with Platform SDK

  My COM app requires rpcndr.lib which does not appear to have been shipped with the Windows SDK - I have to revert to the one that ships with VS.NET 2005.... I can confirm that. I can't imagine what they are doing with the releases, but there is always missing something which I must copy from the previous release in order to compile our project. There are also permanent issues which don't seem to be fixed ever. For example, the mc.exe utility doesn't work without nlsdl.dll, which must be installed separately. Or the manifest tool (mt.exe) - the SDK is still shipped with an old version (5.2.3790.2075), which currupts exe's and dll's. If you run these executables on pre-Vista OS, such as Windows XP, yo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Packaging Class Libraries

  I have set of Strong Named Class Libraries and I need to create a package to deploy them. While Visual Sutudio, provides means to create a msi for installation, I'm trying to find out whether there is an easy way to register these assemblies in GAC after installation, and include this instruction as a part of msi. Update: As usual, the feature I was looking for, already exists in Visual Studio. Here is what I had to do... Create "Setup Project", On the File System on Target Machine Icon, right click and add Special Folder and select Global Assembly Cache Folder, Add all assemblies that are to be deployed in GAC. Thats it. That's really it. Take a look at the properties of project, before you create a package. VS eve ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX 8, Direct3D, Combining the Common Files with MFC CView?

  Compiler: Visual Studio.NET 2002 Hi Everyone, I am learning DirectX 8. (I want to use DirectX 8 as this comes as standard in Windows XP install. If I write a program I know my ludite-XP-using-friends will be able to use it without having to download a new version of DirectX.) I am writing a program that uses DirectX 8 and am trying to combine the Common Files into a MFC application that is based on the CView class rather than the CFormView used in the MFCFog example. The program I will write will be single document (as opposed to multi-document). In the Fog example a derived class is created, of the type: class CMyMFCAppForm : public CFormView, public CD3DApplication { }; I am trying to set up a class of the form: ...Show All
