• Windows Forms Environment Variables in Windows Installer

  I have a Windows Installer Setup project as part of my VS2005 solution, and was wondering if there was any way I could interact with Environment Variables from within this project Specifically, I was looking at a way to update the PATH variable on an install, and then remove the added entry during un-install. I was hoping there would be a quick and easy way of doing this. The Setup project has a Registry Editor, and I was expecting something similar to that like the Environment Variables Editor.. No such luck! Thx! I was having the same problem. To accomplish setting a PATH Environment variable I used Win ...Show All

• Visual C# Casting an enumeration that has a defined type..

  public enum foo : ushort { foo, bar } ushort test = foo.bar; Cannot convert from 'Test.foo' to 'ushort' Sure, I can make variable of type foo, but I'm encoding the value to a network stream, so I want it as a ushort. The thing is, I specifically told the compiler the enum is of type ushort, so why do I have to typecast it You need to cast it :-) ushort test = (ushort)foo.bar;  Oh - you said *why* do I have to cast it Because C# is a strongly typed language, IMO it requires casting more often than it really should, but at least it's not VB :P   ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.Net help - Various Issues

  In our point of sale system, we can export various reports as a csv file.  The problem is that when we open them in Excel, some of the fields (which contain a number 20 digits long) show incorrectly as Excel can only recognize 15 unique digits and changes the last 5 to zero's. I have written a VB program that will allow the user to open teh csv file in a datagrid, adn the numbers show up correct.  Now I am having a problem figuring out how to do the rest of the program.  These are the issues I have remaining: 1.  The worksheet is 82 columns wide.  I need to be able to only import specific columns into the datag ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ 2005 redistributable (vcredist_x86.exe etc.)

  Hi there, I noticed that the Beta 2 redistributable is hosted on the Microsoft download library, but the final ones seems not to be. Will it be hosted on microsoft.com (or is it already somewhere ). Also, it has been reported to me that on Windows 2000 the (RTM) redistributal gives an unuseful error message if Windows Installer 3.1 is not installed. The message is error 1723. "A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run." . It would be a lot more helpful to my users if this was a more informative error message - the solution of installing Windows Installer 3.1 was only found by trial and error. Thanks. ...Show All
