• Brian King Microsoft Thread Termination

  Is there any way to easily instruct windows to wait for a given thread to complete upon exit of the process in which it was created, other than explicitly calling a function such as WaitForSingleObject at the end of execution As an example, if I create a thread in order to run an asynchronous function, such as one which performs a large calculation and stores the result to a file, logically it should continue to execute until it is finished even ...Show All

• jon don Installing C++ programs built using VS2005

  Hi, I just built a hello world application using VS2005 in C++ (not using .Net CLR). It runs fine on my machine (XP Pro all service packs).

• Chin Tian How do you install CRT, ATL80.dll, MFC80u.dll applocal?

  When we look at other installation options than side-by-side installations, we consider "applocal" installations. Unfortunately we cannot use side-by-side installation since it prevents “Per User” installations in Windows Installer. (See http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=552c704c-75ba-4cb1-8bf3-0c1d6d50d5a2 ) A drawback with applocal installations is that fixes issued by Microsoft to components su ...Show All
