Try installing it and see if it resolves your problems. Hope that helps, Anson ...Show All

Then record the name, size and the date and then compare with the one that already existed in the database. If everything is match then pop up message say GOOD. If something has been changed then pop up a message say NOT GOOD. But aslo if i know that there was an update on the file so the date has been changed, that program should also have an update function to update the database. For instance File1 800kb 7/18/2006 File 2 1mb 7/17/2006 because this is the first time i run this program so i have to insert this into the data base. so after inserting, the database will have a list of file 2 and 1 with ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Debugging WCF server on Vista RC1 (x64)

  I'm having trouble debugging a WCF server on Vista. It seems that you are not allowed to bind to an adress without elevated privileges, this I fixed (when running *without* a debugger) using e.g http://mark.michaelis.net/Blog/WindowsCommunicationFoundationWithWindowsVistaAndUAC.aspx that is adding a manifest to exe requesting elevated privileges. The problem is, it seems this does not work under the Visual C# (Express) debugger (even though there is a exename.vshost.exe.manifest) with the correct content. I do not get a dialog asking to OK elevated privileges, it just behaves like the the manifest is not there ! ! How do I fix this easy way of fixing is,launch VS.NET under admin account,so it will have all privileges to debug apps (p ...Show All
