• Windows Forms "Could not find File <path>\<filename>.InstallState" error due to first custom action failing and second rolling back

  Hi, I have created a Visual Studio 2003 setup project. It has two custom actions implemented as two separate C# library projects. Both of the custom actions are added to the install phase. Only the second one is added to the rollback phase. If the first custom action fails in the install phase the second one is not run. Which is what I want. But, the setup project then runs the the Rollback method of the second custom action and complains that "Could not find File <path>\<filename>.InstallState". I don't want the second custom action to rollback if the first custom action has failed on install. How can I prevent this from happening Thanks. McGeeky I have since resolved ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions My.Computer.Printers?

  What is my problem When I try to make a simple print test I can not get access to the Printer library in the My namespace. When I write My.Computer. a list comes up with Networks, Ports, Registry, Screen and lots of other stuff but not Printers.

• Visual C++ NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'

  Hi, I'm currently using a network simulator called Qualnet, which uses Microsoft Visual C++ for compilation. On my own PC, it works fine, but when I try to access the PC via SSH, I keep having problems with nmake. I have the following error: NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2' I've read through some of the solutions available online, such as executing the VCVARS32.BAT file, and adding the environment variables in .bash_profile, but to no avail. I suspect it's a problem with the path/include/lib paths, but I'm not quite sure how to solve it. I have also checked the paths of the cl and nmake file, but they appear to be correct. $ which cl /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/Bin/cl $ which nmake /cygdrive/c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using the Simple STS - Managed Card

  I’m following the sample/document ‘Using the Simple STS’ and running into an issue. It’s probably something very basic that I have missed but I don’t seem to be able to figure it out. In a summary when I try to run the managed card scenario, I get the error ‘Identity provider end point was not found’ in the event log. This is what I have done. Upgraded the machine to have IE7, Cardspace etc. Downloaded and unzipped the latest ‘Simple STS example’ (with the 2 errata fixed). Made the change to handle the errata mentioned by SoftwareMaker (commenting out extra claims). Ran the install script to set up websites, certs etc. Compiled the SecurityTokenServer.csproj to get the SecurityToke ...Show All

• .NET Development Bumping it up. Still looking for an answer to this.

  I have a peculiar problem. I have an application that launches a bunch of other AppDomains. I then call the newly created Appdomain's CreateInstanceAndUnwrap method and I get back an object that adheres to an interface I have defined. That interface has an event on it, let's call it ListenerEvent. I then do NewlyCreatedObjectInOtherAppDomain.ListenerEvent += new ListenerEventHandler (MethodInThisClassAndThisAppDomain); Then I tell this other Object to start processing which will sporadically call the event. If 5 minutes go by without a callback and then the object tries to callback, an exception is thrown that looks like this: A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException' occurred ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I load a 3d mesh (.x file)?

  How do I load a .x mesh into my scene The space game seems to use its own format (which it names .swm), and there's nothing in the help. I've been scanning through through the classes in the Framework namespace, but I can't see anything obvious! Is .x the recommended format for objects like this (If not, I change my question to be about the recommended format :D) If anyone knows anywhere that has some nice .x meshes I can play with, that'd be cool too. The only one I have lying around is a chair, and that's going to look a bit funny running around my game :D Zumwalt wrote: So basically what you are telling everyone is don't bother with the SDK at the moment because it is pre-alpha still an ...Show All
