Re: UAC: how to manage?

If you find data in the program directory, but not in the user directory, just copy the files over. I use InnoSetup to install the program. How can I upgrade old installations if I have to completely change the folder structure, that is, if the previous version of program has already a lot of dicti...

Re: UAC: how to manage?

I think it is a question about Inno Setup, not wxWidgets. I don't know how Inno Setup works with UAC, but NullSoft Installer which I use works with UAC beautifully. And actually Windows 7 doesn't have any problems with UAC, maybe Vista does, but I don't remember complains from Vista users of my sof...

UAC: how to manage?

I recently upgraded to the latest version of wxWidget and decided to use CodeBlocks as IDE. My opjective is to port Unicode Dictionary to Windows Vista/7 too, and in future to Ubuntu 10. Currently it works for any Windows version from 95 to XP. I also use Inno Setup and ISTool to create the installa...

Thank you for suggestions. I think I will ask MS the permission to ship their dll's. Since mine is freeware, I do not think they can be damaged by that. Thank you.

Thus a manifest file is necessary to for any debug build of application to fool Windows so that it assumes it is loading msvcr80d.dll. If you make a quick search, you'll not find msvcr80d.dll in your system folder (You'll get it in some hidden directory). So, this trick is NOT necessary for Release...

The dll should be present in most of the Windows systems. I don't know the legal implications. But AFAIK you may not be allowed to redistribute it. But you can advice your user to download the dll from the following link, if they don't have it in their system. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/det...

OK... At last I was able to compile and create my EXE file. It works. I am not sure what I did, that is, it is not yet clear for me what the manifest file is and why it is so critical to make it work, anyway... Now the question is, what I have to do to deliver my package to other people? My applicat...

Well, if so I have to ship msvcrt.dll with my code... Can I? Should I? And where can I take it from?

MSVCR80D.dll: how to avoid?

I just migrated from bcc 5.5 to VS 2500 express. At last I was able to generate an exe file but... it fails because it is expecting MSVCR80D.dll.... What's that, and why is it necessary? I used /MDd because /MTd generates a lot of errors about StringData::Free() not resolved... I do not want that my...
