Hi Mike,
I just had a quick look into it, and it seems to be all well & working.
Veni, vidi, caecus | Everything summarizes to Assembly code

Thanks Marco, glad to hear it worked for you. Since results are favorable I'm going to finalize a release!
Thanks for you help,
Mike

Mike, I can help with this, I set up a VM specifically for testing this stuff. I have a vanilla machine for both 8 and 8.1, with and without updates. I can roll back and test as needed.
As much as I refuse to use 8, my customers don't, so I need to keep these testing machines around. I have one for all OS's since XP

Ron,
Thanks I've run into a few problems and I've been delayed on releasing the Beta. Got a tooth that needs pulled and I've not been able to get it pulled until tomorrow because it was/is infected. I don't have much to do but have not been able to concentrate.
Thanks,
Mike

Offer stands, let me know when you need it. Good luck with the tooth!

|
Thanks Ron I'll let you know!

Ron,
If you are still interested in Beta testing for me you can download the Beta at WinHeist 2.0 Beta[^]
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Mike-
Will do, right now as far as Win 8 goes, I only have an x86 machine, an update to VirtualBox has broken my 64 bit one. I'll install/run in the morning.

BTW, your download link doesn't seem to work, at least not in Chrome, haven't checked IE.

Works! Will get it on my Win8 VM in the morning and let you know how it goes.

By the way, is this supposed to be Win7 compatible? Having a number of issues playing with it on my laptop...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I developed it on Win7 what kind of problems are you having?
|

It asks me to create the database, which I select a folder (in my My Documents folder) and give it a name (WinHeist.db3), after hitting Create it gives the error: "An error occurred trying to create the DB" (with an Information icon ).
The application still opens, so if I click the options gear in the tool bar, I get an "Unhandled Exception" dialog with the error "The type initializer for WInHeist.DBAccess.MasterRepository" threw an exception. The location of this error is in the ConfigForm Initialize routine, when it calls MasterRepository.CategoryRepository, apparently you missed a check to see if a database actually exists before trying to get data from it.
I assume the second error is because of the inability to create the DB, if it isn't valid to run the program without a DB created, you should probably exit the program instead of allowing it to run.

Did you pull the link down? Went to grab it on my VM and the only link there today is for V1.0.6...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I pulled it until I got it fixed I will put it back up shortly. I'm just now testing the changes I made so it shouldn't be long!
Thanks,
Mike

Ok Ron I've put the updated version up.
Thanks,
Mike

Man today has been a real learning experience, is it Monday? I made a change to the Primary key of my site and I didn't realize that I needed to restart my site. I just changed hosts a few months back so am still learning abut some the idiosyncrasies with it.
Thanks for your patience,
Mike

Ok, finally got it downloaded...
On a virgin, clean machine here is the process:
1. Downloaded and saved the file. It ran after giving some warnings (IE said it wasn't a file people usually save, and Windows blocked it because it may be harmful, but I selected More Info which allowed me to "Run Anyway".
2. The installer ran, but said that .NET 3.5 was required and brought me to the Microsoft site.
3. Downloaded .NET 3.5 SP1 and installed.
4. Ran installer again, this time directly from the file and the Setup started. Setup completed adding a shortcut to the desktop. There is also a WinHeist category in the "Apps" section of the startup menu, although both links say "Shortcut to WinHeist", might want to change that to just say "WinHeist".
5. Ran program, asked me to create a database, which I was able to successfully accomplish this time. After creating the database the software ran, dialogs opened and no errors.
6. Help file still says V1, but I assume you haven't gotten that far. Also the version in the title bar (2.0.0.0) doesn't match your download version.
Thats about all I can see, let me know if you want me to try something specific.

Ron,
This was on a Windows 8 machine I assume?
Yeah I've got some tweaking to do but basically just wanted to make sure it ran in Win8.
I just pulled up the help file and am working on it now.
Thanks for all you help and patience, owe you a or
Mike

Win 8.1, as if you just did an install and ran the Windows Update until it said no more updates. Nothing more, no third-party components or any other installs. Just a fresh, windows-updated install.

I understand that everything is "visual" these days and the level of abstraction in software development is enormous, making it unnecessary for a developer to know about existence of actual ones and zeroes that make up the CPU instructions .
I know that this forum is dedicated to the latest tools primarily from Microsoft and this is not the right place to ask the question I have.
Yet I am desperately looking for the "dinosaurs" who may know what assembler is, who learned to program 30-40 years ago, and in the process of doing that came across the basic programming tools, such as command-line compilers and linkers.
I've been using bcc32 and ilink32 to build API applications for 15 years, primarily for scientific computing and hardware control.
Recently I came up with an unusual project, which requires some re-configuring of the compiler settings. Unfortunately, my post at Embarcadero (former Inprise -> former Borland) web site remains unanswered. That is why I am here "crying into the wind" for some help.
Please reply to this message if you think you could help.
I do not bother to describe the question itself in this post (to save space on the server )
