It's out October 17th. If you have Win8, you'll be able to install the final version from the store then.

I have an executable that we have been using in our business for 7 years now. It has been deployed and update by click-once. Worked on XP and 7. Even Vista. Never had a problem ...
...Until we tried to install it on Windows 8. Windows 8 would try to install the program but then kept crashing with a file not found issue.
After a day of googling and asking questions I found out that it was because the executable file name has a period in it. Quickly recompiled to remove the period and Windows 8 was pleased as punch to install and run it.
I'm quite certain Microsoft would call this a "feature".

I saw the same problem but with bat file and a full path. That <insert missing word here> thing couldn't find the file because it had period in it
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Just shows how misogynistic Microsoft are, can't handle anything with a period.

Windows 8 is the resurrected version of Microsoft Bob. The only thing missing is the Fisher-Price logo.

Of course it's a feature, it exactly documents the criteria needed to be called a feature in MS. Reminds me of how my last company tried to figure out how to bypass a feature they found while presenting their tool to BG. (B stands for Bill)

Let's say I have Windows 8
Let's say I install Visual Studio
Visual Studio comes with a host of utilities hidden all round the hard drive. When I install a new version I like to peek at the VS Start Menu to get an idea of what useful utility are new / updated / removed.
But.. how do I do that with Windows 8?
I don't remember the location of ILDASM and it doesn't show up while searching on the app screen.. 
|
|
|
|
|
ILDASM should be in the Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\vWhateverTheLatestVersionIs\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools folder, with a 64-bit version in the x64 sub-folder.

Just install aftermarket start menu.
|
|

|

I'd mention that idea to Microsoft.

Are you kidding?
All these little start-menu-replacer companies are probably owned by Microsoft!

It would be on the "All Apps" screen, grouped under Visual Studio (or something like that).
|
|
|
|
|
Go to the Start Screen and type 'V' or 's' (for spy++). However, they number of utilities added is shrinking. If you right click on spy++ and open the containing folder, there isn't much there. (Many of the old utilities are now in the SDK or equivalents can by found in SysInternals. I think Depends is available entirely separately.)
|
|
|
|
|
1) Right click the Visual Studio tile (or search for it in apps and right-click the search result),
2) Select Open file location at the bottom of the screen.
You are now browsing the start menu folder.

Did Google get hacked? You do a search and it starts popping new windows.
Note I do not normally use Google.
[EDIT]
We're back. It started working again. I hope the network guy (general computer issues) checks into it further.
I just get the calls early in the morning as they know I am here and will answer the phone.

No problems or pop-ups for me. Win 7 32, IE 10.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

No problem here. Check what "browser helpers" have been installed without your permission.

Not seeing that behaviour here. Sounds like you've got a virus.
