• Visual FoxPro New to InstallShield need help

  I recently resumed writing Visual Foxpro applications. I have not done much with VFP since Visual FoxPro 5.0. I'm currently using VFP 9.0 w/Installshield 5.0. When I create a distribution set and attempt to run it after the install, the form flashes on the screen for a half second and disappears. When I run the prg or exe from inside the VFP environment, they perform as expected. What could I be missing   Rick is right. You seem to be missing a READ EVENTS. VFP needs a wait state. This is provided by the IDE when in development. You need a READ EVENTS while in production (EXE) and a CLEAR EVENTS executed from your exit menu option or exit button on a form or similar.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express Toolkit & Reporting Services

  Hi, I had previously installed SQL Server 2005 Express edition (and later, SQl Server Management studio express). Recently, I wanted to try out 'Reporting services' and downloaded 'SQL server 2005 express Toolkit'. After installation, I have a new program group 'Visual studio 2005' . I started that with 'New Report Project'. I tried to attach an existing database (to be precise, in 'connection string' part) , but it is giving error saying 'An error has occured while establishing connection to Server.

• Visual Basic Installer Failing to Upgrade App from 1.1 to 2.0

  Hi, I have an application that I developed in 1.1; the application was delopyed to a large number of workstations via GPO (have used this process multiple times to upgrade the application); I have recently updraded the application to 2.0 and when installing the application on my test workstation (not using GPO at this stage) it fails to upgrade the previous version that was written in 1.1, I end up with the old version and new version sitting in the "Add and Remove programs" list. I can confirm that both applications have different product codes and the same upgrade code, I have also selected in the 2.0 installer to "RemovePreviousVersions". I have used Orca to check that the upgrade ID are the same even after the setup ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Stange text encoding in the Registry for RC1

  I've got an application that provides similar functionality to the Device Manager. It displays the devices by "category" similar to the list view in the Device Manager. It gets the category string from the registry... specifically the "default" string value at each one of the keys like: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} These string value at these locations used to be just normal unicode text, but with build 5600, the text is a bizarre unicode-wanna be "[xufkY][ VD/ D-ΓO ιν !!! ]" instead of "DVD/CDROM drives" It's almost readable as english, so that leads me to believe that the change was deliberate (I can't imagin ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Service Broker vs MSMQ

  I'm in the process of doing the initial research for the architecture of a large scale, transactional messages routing platform. My initial design called for a series of MSMQ queues and Windows Services, written in C#, to process the messages in these queues. There will be incoming and outgoing queues, queues to store unroutable messages, etc. My application will be routing many hundreds of thousands (and eventually millions) of messages per day. These message are very small (< 200 bytes each) and must be routed very quickly. (<1 second processing overhead per message for high priority messages.) Using the term "routing" may be a bit misleading. The messages arrive via TCP socket connections. I will just need to take in a ...Show All

• SQL Server Native compiler return value: [BC30494] Line is too long

  I'm developing a very big and complex P&L report in RS2005 for a big bank which suppose to have 20 tables with around 12 groupings per table. This is similar like having or combining 20 reports in one big report with massive data from Analysis Services 2005 data source. The report was successfully compiled only up to the fourth table.

• SQL Server Error when Exporting to Excel using SSRS 2003

  Hi, I have encountered an error when attempt to open a report which is exported to Excel using SSRS2003. It looks like this: Microsoft Office Excel File Repair Log Errors were detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\TocsonEI\My Documents\Rigid\Reports\rptRigidTransactionSummaryReport3.xls' The following is a list of repairs: Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted. At first I thought it was because of the sheer bulk of the report since when I break down a month's report to every 5 days, it would export without error. So I thought that if I can break a whole report into several worksheets us ...Show All
