• 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

• SQL Server Temporary tables

  Hello, I have to import all the data from xml files (xml source) into temporary tables so that I can manage the data with sql statements (sql tasks). Then I created a sql task creating the temporary table (ie. Create table #temp ( a int)) followed by a data flow task. Into the data flow task I cannot see the temporary table from the sql server destination component. Any suggestion Thanks, Pierre Temporary tables should be visible from SQL Server Destination component. Can you make sure that you have actually executed the sql task with the create table statement, so that the temp table actually exists in the database, before you tr ...Show All

• Visual Studio C++ express edition and JIT debugging

  I installed Visual C++ 2005 express edition (+ the SDK) on a computer which already had the Visual Studio 2003 installed. Now if my program crashes the JIT debugger which is available is the 2003 version. It appears to have problems with the version8.0 dlls ( ) so I would like to invoke the express edition debugger here. Is this possible, or is it something only available with VS 2005 pro I noticed that C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug contains some relatively new files (coloader80.dll etc) which makes me some what hopeful that I would be able to somehow solve these problems.

• SQL Server Deployment question: SQLDB - SSIS on different boxes with SQL Agent for scheduling

  I am interested in how you guys are deploying your packages. I am running SQL Server Integration Service(SSIS) and SQL Server Database Service (SQLDB) on different boxes. I can't have SSIS installed on SQLDB box because in my prod. environment, the DB box has *just* DB - no services or no other fancy stuff. So far so good. Now, if I want to schedule the SSIS packages (deployed on MSDB) to run periodically, I need to create an SQL Agent job (or everyone else here is using a Windows scheduler instead ). SQL Agent has dependency on SQLDB and so it goes on the SQLDB box, correct Can I run job steps to execute SSIS packages&n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What now? - x86

To let me redistribute my applications, but I don't understand how to use this. I installed it and I was given no instructions on how to use it. Please help, Wilko Yes. That is unless you want to rewrite your entire app from scratch, avoiding the use of CLR whenever you're tempted to use it. For C++ Express this pretty much means you'll have to ditch the entire user interface and resort to the command line only. I don't know about you, but I'd rather ask the use ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Web Services

  I'm interested in hosting web services in my Windows service using either WCF or WSE 3.0. My is that I have to use an existing wsdl file to build my web service and I'm going to have a non-Windows client send me SOAP-based messages. The svcutil.exe appears to only be useful for Windows clients wanting to communicate with a web service. I'm not sure how I go about building my web service in such a way that I know I have to use this pre-exising wsdl file and I'm going to have non-Windows clients sending my SOAP messages. On first pass we see a the connection being closed and the client reports a SOAP version mismatch. I don't know that this is ...Show All
