Good Afternoon StackOverflow,
I have an End User who is coding in VB6, coding seem to have no issue but when he saves his project it hangs and eventually times out. The VB6 project running on a Windows XP machine and he saves on a Windows 2019 Server. There were no Windows Update but all of the sudden it can not save. The Windows 2019 was fully patched (Latest June patch) Note: saving his project on the local XP Machine has no problem.
We noticed that the files where open by him on on the Server and we can close the session out on the Server. When this happens we can not delete the project files (.bas) it seem like they are locked. The only way to unlock these files is to reboot the Server. We tried to replicate this on a different 2019 Server and it does the same thing.
Any help on this is greatly appreciate.

Brand new Windows 10 Pro system running 1809. Just installed Access via Office 365 (version 1904). We have a database that was originally created in 1998 and has been updated and working on other Windows 10 systems without a problem. However, when we open it on this new system, we are getting the following error right away:
Compile error. in query expression 'IIf(Hour(Time())<12,"Good Morning",IIf(Hour(Time())>11 And Hour(Time())<18,"Good Afternoon","Good Evening")'
Removing this query does nothing but bring up additional compile errors.
All of the other computers were running Office Pro 2007 at some point - probably when the database was converted from an .MDB to an .accdb file. They are now running the latest version of Access without issue. They all also have an Inactive Application Add-in called "Microsoft Office 2007 Access Database Engine Conflict Resolver" installed and set to Load on Demand. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
I did install Office 2007 to this computer (Access module only) and that same add-on then appeared in the newer Access. But I have since uninstalled Office 2007 after the issue remained unresolved. (That add-on is now gone.)
My (probably ignorant) guess is that there is old code that isn't being processed correctly and the current batch of computers are handling it via something that was installed during the upgrade process? Our database needs are pretty simple and there are very few users.
Any help in getting this new system into the loop would be appreciated.
Argh. I think the issue was that I installed the 64-bit version of Office 365. All works now under 32-bit. Sorry and thanks.
I have a very strange problem with VS 2015 Professional. Suddenly every time that I try to start a UWP application, VS stucks and the app is not starting. I deleted the suo file and restarted VS, I tried also to repair VS but the problem remains. It seems that something doesn't let the apps to execute. Any ideas where the problem could be?
Note: I created and executed a Windows Forms Application with no problem at all.
Well I found the problem. I just disabled the Windows Phone Connection Internal Switch vEthernet Connection that I have created via the Hyper-V manager and now it works prefectly.
Everything was going fine but the next day, when I opened the visual studio It showed error as
this error occur at every project files and at the starting.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the VS again but also nothing is improved. when I started my pc in safemode , in that case visual studio runs fine however when I opened in normal mode , It shows the error.
Also using command like devenv or devenv/safemode or devenv/resetsettings pops the same error message.
In my experience and from what I've heard from others, VS2005 has problems on newer OS's and needs to be run in a XP VM for reliable results. Some editions of Win7 have a nice transparent way of doing that for software that doesn't like newer OS's, but the VM component needs to be installed first.
I also recall VS getting fouled and needing to be ripped out and re-installed to work again. In your case, re-installing from original media did not include all the service packs and patches, and it probably only worked at all due to updates and a bit of luck. You might try restoring from a backup rather than re-installing, but it's really a lost cause.
I have an ASP.NET web application that I've been working on for the past few months. Recently I've encountered a problem where when I start debugging and internet explorer launches it locks up. I've tried waiting, but it hangs indefinitely. This happens about 75% of the time. I know it will lock up if the progress bar doesn't show up in the footer. If the progress bar appears then everything works fine. It's turned into a ritual of starting/stopping debugging until it works. If I use Firefox everything works fine. However I can't avoid IE forever as this application is being used in a closed environment where all users are using IE8 exclusively.
I know it's not code related as everything was fine on a Friday, and then with no changes made, it started behaving this way on Monday. I've also opened other web applications and they suffer from the same problem.
I've made sure everything is up to date in Windows Update. I've looked for any updates/fixes to Visual Studio 2010. I haven't been able to find any posts anywhere describing this problem. There's nothing in my logs showing up either.
I'm running Windows 7 SP1 64-bit with VS2010 SP1.
Edit: I've also tried running the solution with IIS instead of the built in dev server, but it had no effect.
I am getting the following error when trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on my 64bit, Vista computer:
"1305.Error reading from file
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\Microsoft Visual
Studio 2005 Standard Edition -
ENU\SITSetup.dll"
I have successfully used the same DVD's to install Visual Studio on my old XP machine, and I can find the file (SITSetup.dll) on the DVD...and copy it off...so I don't think this is a case of having a bad DVD. At the time the error message pops up, I can see the file on my hard-drive, but it has a 0 size.
I've Googled this problem, and found some ideas, but nothing has worked thus far. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have to confess on this..especially since someone voted for the question.
Everything I said in my original posting about using the disks successfully in the past -was true. However, after innumerable shots at trying to get this install to work, I finally went back and looked at the DVD, and found that either myself, or one of my kids, left traces of food stuck to the underside of the DVD. After cleaning the DVD off, the install worked fine. This is embarrassing.
I assumed the DVD was fine because I had used it before, as well as being able to copy files off it. However, the last time I used it was years ago, and sometime in between then and now...something got on it. I guess the lesson here is never skip the basic checks!
I just installed it yesterday on my Vista box (32-bit, which may be the problem). It seemed to go through fine so I don't know what to tell you other than than when I first launched the app it notified me of "known compatibility issues" and recommended that I install both the SP1 and Vista SP! updates. No further issues past that.
As such, I would suspect either a problem with the 64 bit OS (though Microsoft says it's fine...) or other software on your machine. If you have a virus scanner running, for instance, disable it while installing.
If your Vista machine is a guest running under VMware, try copying the entire DVD to your hard drive and install from there.
I don't know if the same random glitches occur on real machines.
I can confirm that this is a problem for me on Windows 2008 Server while not on XP or Vista (all 32-bit). Not sure why there's any kind of issue here but it seems to be permissions related.
Also tried run as administrator etc but no luck.
