After compiling a simple C++ project using Visual Studio 2008 on vista, everything runs fine on the original vista machine and other vista computers. However, moving it over to an XP box results in an error message: "The application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect". What do I have to do so my compiled EXE works on XP and Vista? I had this same problem a few months ago, and just fiddling with some settings on the project fixed it, but I don't remember which ones I changed. You need to install the Visual Studios 2008 runtime on the target computer: http://www

Could you tell me what .NET framework installed by default on Windows XP system? Because I wanted to write a C# application that does not require anything else to be installed. If none is there any way not to force users to download .net framework (for example 3.5) but install it? Windows XP did not come with any version of the .NET Framework. You can distribute the .NET Framework 3.5 redistributable with your app. Get it here . Depending on the setup mechanism of your app, you will be able to set it as a dependency of your app's executables so that it's installed automatically for your users.

I'm using VS2008 SP1 under Vista SP1. My .Net-program uses a COM reference to WIA (Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0). I'm using CommonDialogClass.ShowAcquireImage to scan a document and it's working fine. One of my customers is running XP. As I understand WIA, under XP you have to use WIALib (WIA 1.0). Is it possible to develop under Vista using WIA1? MS does allow you to download the WIA 2.0 library for XP here . That way your customer can use your app as is. Also, I like WIA 2.0 more than 1.0. I setup a small WIALib-project with VS2008 under Windows XP and copied the created

I'm looking for a batch file that will go into C:\Documents and Settings\ and delete all folders except a few that I want to keep. Here's a hack-around =D If you have a list of folder paths in say folders.txt listed as so: C:\Documents and Settings\Mechaflash C:\Documents and Settings\Mom C:\Documents and Settings\Dad etc. What you can do is temporarily change them to hidden folders, then RMDIR on all non-hidden folders. CD "C:\Documents and Settings\" FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN (folders.txt) DO ( ATTRIB +H "%%A" /S /D ) FOR /F "USEBACKQ tokens=*" %%F IN (`DIR /B /A:-HD "C:\Documents and

I'm developing an OpenGL based 2d simulation with GLUT under Visual C++ 2008, sometimes when I have an assert() or unhandled exception and break into the debugger, the GLUT display window closes, but the console window remains open.They just cant be killed!!! They do not show up with Task manager, Process Explorer or any other tool, I cannot find the window handle using the Spy++ tool either. Worst thing is they prevent my system (Windows XP) from shutting down, I have to manually poweroff (and of course I have to run chkdsk on my drives and invariably it finds and fixes minor errors after bad
