If an app runs on W2k it should run on XP without a problem. The problems you may encounter are:
1) Permissions. Your user, for example, may need to be logged in as an Administrator.
2) Fast user switching. However, if the app runs using W2K terminal services, it should run on XP. (This is usually only a big issue if you used shared memory and global/local named synchronization objects.)
3) DLL Hell. If you are using the good old MFC 5/6 DLLs and they are out-of-sync on the XP box.
(I've written many apps using VC6 that run in all environments. Never had a problem that weren't developer/user errors.)
Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine.

Thanks Joe!
But about the out-of-sync DLL's, how do you fix that!?
Can you lead me to a source?

You could compile the DLL statically (which might be a problem if the App is linked dynamically), you can ship the offending DLL with your DLL--as long as they're in the same directory in XP, the local DLL will be used. The final option is create an install package.
To find out if DLLs are a problem, VC6 comes with an applet called Depends.exe. Use this to find your DLL dependencies and then get the versions of the same DLLs in XP and see if, for example, msvcrt.dll is out of date.

Is there any Dependency Generator for VC++?
Input : DSW or DSP file
Output : Displays all the dependencies for that DLL/EXE.
I have used a tool like this before but that's client's proprietary code.
I know you can see the dependencies via "Dependency Walker". But that's helpful if you build the DLL/EXE successfully.
TIA

Under VC6, it's called dependency walker. Look under VC Tools. It does not use the DSP or DSW. It looks directly at the EXE or DLL.

Hi everybody
I am creating an application using VC++ that runs on a terminal server with 30 end users. The end users will use thin clients as front end machines. The application consists of a main menu executeble that opens other executables depending on the user selection. In order to establish that communication I use named pipes. Actually I use 1 named pipe as the main tube for data transfer. What happens is that sometimes the session of any user may freeze and another user may view his data. As a result I have started suspecting that something is wrong with the method that creates the child process and also that at a certain point one user may "use" the name pipe share of the other. The code that performs the above call is:
int CTransfer::StartTalking(CString szNewProcess, CNamedPipe* m_ServerObject, char *pszBuffer)
{
STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
char szProcess[128];
strcpy(szProcess , (LPCTSTR)szNewProcess);
ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
szNewProcess += ".exe";
// Start the child process.
if( !CreateProcess( NULL, // No module name (use command line).
szProcess, // Command line.
NULL, // Process handle not inheritable.
NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable.
TRUE, // Set handle inheritance to FALSE.
0, // No creation flags.
NULL, // Use parent's environment block.
NULL, // Use parent's starting directory.
&si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure.
&pi ) // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure.
)
{
return 1;
}
#ifndef _DEBUG
if (strlen(pszBuffer))
{
DWORD dwBytesWritten;
if (m_ServerObject->ConnectClient())
m_ServerObject->Write(pszBuffer , strlen(pszBuffer), dwBytesWritten);
}
#endif
// Wait until child process exits.
WaitForSingleObject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );
// Close process and thread handles.
CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
CloseHandle( pi.hThread );
return 0;
}
I am thinking that I could do certain things such as:
1. create 1 named pipe per module in order to distribute traffic to more named pipes.
2. use a CreateMutex before the CreateProcess and Release it before the WaitforSingleObject
I will definitely appreciate any opion or help that you might provide.
Thank you for your time

and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

Is there an available method or workaround for manipulating the version information of files external to your own application? I've been having trouble with a couple of vendors updating DLL's but not updating their file versions, which is giving our testing people some real headaches. Any suggestions?

The MFC doesn't have a method that will manipulate versions. Most other file attributes are accessible but the version is not accessible via the built-in functions. Has anyone else tackled this problem?

Hello people,
I try to create a little game on my own with VC++6.0.
In a sample, that I loaded from this website, is the header 'dxerr8.h' needed.
Where can I get it?
