Creating INF File Vasudevan Deepak Kumar31-Jul-05 20:16 Vasudevan Deepak Kumar 31-Jul-05 20:16  Hi Can you please guide me how to create an INF file for an OCX packaged into CAB, to enable it download optional components for Microsoft or other vendor websites? For example, GDI32.dll, MFC etc are by default in Windows 2000. The same OCX need to download these components from Microsoft Website. Is'nt it?

But I think that would introduce the following issues. Is'nt it? (*) The CAB size comprising of the OCX and the dependant DLLs would be big. Perhaps with the number of DLLs more, the size would be significantly growing. (*) How would accomodate the levels of dependencies? GDI32.dll may depend on some Windows dlls in Windows 2000 and if the base dlls are different and/or related entrypoints? I may be wrong w.r.t. the second point. Can you please help me out? The other route I am trying to explore is the INF Installer. That should cause Internet Explorer to download files automatically from the vendor website. Is'nt it?

If I distributed online, I'd provide a link and tell people to get .NET themselves. Vasudevan Deepak Kumar wrote: How would accomodate the levels of dependencies? GDI32.dll may depend on some Windows dlls in Windows 2000 and if the base dlls are different and/or related entrypoints? GDI32 is part of windows, you don't ship it. The GDI+ dll is always the same. You can also write an installer that installs dlls based on OS, if you need to, but generally you don't. Stuff like MFC42, for example, does not come in versions for different OSs. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Explorer Crash After writing to Text Files SilverStag29-Jul-05 2:50 SilverStag 29-Jul-05 2:50  Hi! I have a wierd problem I created a console application in .NET to parse text files and write to an XML file. I'm just reading the text file one line at a time and modifying it (Basic operations like Replacing html tags and special characters and removing spaces e.t.c) For Ex: 1. Regex.Replace(tempStr, @"^\s*(.*?)\s*$", "$1"); 2. Regex.Replace(tempStr, "<", "&lt;"); The code that writes to the file is: strWtr.WriteLine(@"<data name=""" + key+ """>"); strWtr.WriteLine("<value>"+val+"</value>"); strWtr.WriteLine("</data>"); I'm using StreamReader and StreamWriter Classes(i don't need XmlWriter Yet). Now the wierd part is when i try to do some operation on the XML file( Say Opening it or moving it to another directory.) the windows explorer crashes saying: <b>Some Instruction at some location(0x00152a83) tried refer memory at some location(0x9deba210) and the memory could not be written.</b> Some times just refreshing in the explorer window also cause this problem. Added to that the IE hangs when i try to open these XML files. They open in Firefox properly. Am i doing something Illegal Any clue or a pointer would help me greatly.

When I run it as an administrator, there is no problem but when I run it in limitted user accounts, the "ActiveX Component Can't Creat Object." error raises. I tried to search group policy to solve this problem for the limitted user groups, but I couldn't find anything helpful. Please help me with that... Is it possible for a program run in a limitted user account, to load activex components?

Controling Microsoft Firewall Client for ISA Server 2004 benjymous27-Jul-05 22:20 benjymous 27-Jul-05 22:20  I'm wondering if anyone can come up with a solution to a problem Our network uses Microsoft ISA Server to connect to the internet Our desktop machines need to be able to do two tasks Task A connects to an external server on the internet, and so requires the firewall client to be enabled Task B copies data to/from a machine on the local network, but a different subnet to the desktop machine. For some reason this requires the firewall client to be disabled in order for traffic to get through This means We have to manually enable/disable the "Microsoft Firewall Client for ISA Server 2004" every time we need to switch task (which is pretty annoying when you keep forgetting to!) Does anyone know if there's an API that can control the firewall client app, or a command line tool that can enable/disable it? (And I'm just a developer, not an admin, so don't have any influence over the actual network configuration) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords! Windows Protection ERROR Deian27-Jul-05 8:10 Deian 27-Jul-05 8:10  Hello, I've moved one HDD from an old computer to a new one, and configured the new PC to boot from the OLD hdd, and when windows loads it says : Windows Protection Error, you have to reboot. I can run the pc only in safe mode. How to repair or fix the problem so it will run with the new configuration (sensitive data is involved) Thanks, D. Re: Windows Protection ERROR Christian Graus27-Jul-05 17:35 Christian Graus 27-Jul-05 17:35  That was a really dumb thing to do. Your hard drive, and therefore your OS, think that they are in your old system. You need to remove/replace all drivers that represent hardware differences between machines. Or you could put in another drive for the OS and use it as a data drive only. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: Windows Protection ERROR Deian2-Aug-05 21:28 Deian 2-Aug-05 21:28  Yes, I was almost 100% sure that the cause is the drivers, but I tought that the system will recognize the differences, and use the newly installed drivers, and thanks for telling me that it's dumb, since if the boss is saying "move the data as it is" to the new pc, I'm supposed to move it. Comments like 'dumb' may be used for someone with great experience at certain field who is performing dumb actions, not for newbie in certain field trying to workaround certain, new to him problems. Actually I managed to work around the situation and everything is great now, thanks to anyone trying to help with advice, Thank you, D.

Well, if doing something is dumb, would you prefer no-one tell you ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: Windows Protection ERROR benjymous27-Jul-05 22:04 benjymous 27-Jul-05 22:04  As Christian Said, your new computer is getting confused by drivers that don't apply to your actual hardware (especially things like motherboard chipset drivers) You might get away with booting from your Windows CD and re-installing over the top of your existing installation - this *should* copy over the correct new drivers and get everything working again (but it might just break things worse!) Make sure you've got good backups of your "sensitive data" before you go any further! -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords! Re: Windows Protection ERROR Mekong River28-Jul-05 2:42 Mekong River 28-Jul-05 2:42  I also agree with above comment. The reason that your computer could not start because the driver of your old hard disk is not match the new hardware especially the mainboard. This action meaning the save that you install the wrong driver for your mainboard also. My comment is keep your old hard disk as your data drive and install an operating system on another new hard disk drive. A thousand mile of journey, begin with the first step.

APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office Problem directly opening a TextFile in NotePad Vasudevan Deepak Kumar26-Jul-05 6:38 Vasudevan Deepak Kumar 26-Jul-05 6:38  Hi: I have a very unique problem opening TEXT files in Notepad. When I doubleclick a TextFile (configured for Notepad, as is the default case), it opens a blank new Notepad window (Untitled), as if you have typed Notepad.exe. Each time, I have to rightclick Open With and choose Notepad. I think some program application has damaged the association for .TXT file with notepad.exe and some %1 etc arguments are required. Is'nt it? I am not sure of what arguments and where to apply? Can you please throw some light on that?
