• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get SeBackupPrivilege in a deferred custom action EXE?

  I have encountered a privilege difference in Windows Installer between XP and Vista RC1 which makes our installation fail. I have searched for an explanation and workaround but haven't found anything so far. This is NOT a UAC issue: the difference in privileges is there even when UAC is off. The Problem: In Vista RC1, a custom action of type 3074 runs WITHOUT having the SeBackupPrivilege privilege. The privilege is not there so it is not possible to enable it using AdjustTokenPrivileges. (Type 3074 custom action is an EXE that runs from a temp file using deferred execution in the Local System context.) In XP SP2 and earlier versions of Windows, this custom action has the SeBackupPrivilege privilege so it is possible to enable it u ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio hangs on source control operations

  Hello, I'm having a problem where several TFS source control operations result in Visual Studio becoming (almost) unresponsive. If I try to "Add selected projects to source control" or add an item to a project that is in tfs source control VS first shows the progress dialog and after the operation is complete VS doesn't respond to commands. When I "end task" VS and start again the operation has been completed. It's like the problem reported elsewhere where a modal box is shown off screen. The UISettings.config on my machine, however, seems to be ok. When in this state I can close open documents by pressing Ctrl-F4 and browse windows with Ctrl-Tab but do virtually nothing else. I have disabled all add-ins (Class designer ...Show All

  Hello, I've asked this question before and I've read the answers before and I still cannot get it to work. My task is simple, I want to use the execute sql task container to grab a value from a database and put it in a variable.

• Windows Forms Control visiblilty of main form component after the close of pop-up win form

  Dear All, My problem here is that first I have a combo box. Upon selecting a value of the combo box its visible set to false. Then at the same location the visible value of a text box is set to visible=true. The problem is that if the value which is keyed in the texbox is below a certain range then a pop dialog or winform will appear for confirmation of acceptance of the lower value. Upon making the confirmation via the pop-up win form the control gets back to the main form. Now I want the combo box to be visible=true and textbox visible=false when the control is pass back from the pop up winform to the main winform. Thanks.
