• SQL Server 2005 April CTP Install Failure

  SQL Server Setup could not conect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft}{SQL Native Client} Named Pipes Provider:  Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].  Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log File" in SQL Server Books Online. That is the error when attempting to install to W2003 running as a VPC2004 guest OS. The framework and VS Beta 2 are installed and functional.

• Smart Device Development VS2005 Smart Device CAB building problems

  Hello... I am having a problem building a CAB file for a .Net CF PocketPC application.  In VS2003, I would just simply select the "Build CAB File" menu option and, like magic, a CAB file would be created that would include the necessary DLLs or other dependencies.  The size of the file, including some 3rd party DLLs, was about 1.8MB. Now, using VS2005 I finally discovered that you have to create a separate CAB file project.  Not difficult, but certainly not intuitive...at least for those that have VS2003 experience.  The PROBLEM is that the resulting CAB file is 35MB!  It has all of the .net DLLs that were never part ...Show All

  Within a few weeks, the winner of the Worlds best app contest will be anounced, so I think it's an interesting question to ask: Who (or which app) will win   My guess:   In the Games section I think somebody from the netherlands will win... There are a few good games (actualy a lot of good games, but these are the best in my opinion): - Hangman (very basic and simple, doesn't require a fast pc, everybody knows how to play it - Tankwars (the one with the most launches, I like it, but it get's kind of boring after a few times...

• Visual Studio msdbg2.dll not correctly installed

  Hi When trying to debug a native C++ application the VC (VS2005) displays an error message like this: Unable to start program 'MyApp.exe'. A debugger 'msdbg2.dll' is not correctly installed.
