How can I build dxtrans.lib using VisualStudio 2010 on Windows-7 32-bit?
I've downloaded and installed DirectX, but can't find
dxtrans.lib and can't find a project to build it.
I need it for a VisualStudio 2010 project that was originally a project in VisualStudio 2005, but when I convert and build it with VS2010, I get error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'dxtrans.lib'
This feature is obsolete as stated here:
This topic documents a feature of Visual Filters and Transitions,
which is deprecated as of Windows Internet Explorer 9 and obsolete as
of Internet Explorer 10.
So, you don't find it in recent SDKs.
But if you still feel that you need it, here you can find how to get it (Chuck Walbourn always helps =) ) :
The August 2007 DirectX SDK was the last version to include dxtrans.h
and dxtrans.lib. This technology was used at one point by Internet
Explorer, but this is no longer in use.
So, now you want to look at MS downloads website to find this version. But, the problem that there is no such version. The only I could find is DirectX SDK - (April 2006). But you can dig a serch engine and probably find something better.
Hope it helps!

I'm following the instructions in
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh361572(v=office.14).aspx but after installing the runtime, the voice, and the SDK, I couldn't figure out how to reference the Microsoft.Speech.Synthesis namespace on my Windows 7-64 bit machine with Visual Studio 2013 community edition update 4.
What's the real purpose of the SDK and how do I configure.
The installers are 64bit versions, and the voice synthesis works
PS: If you really think that my question is unappropriate here, please just put it in the comments or answers and suggest me where should I put it. I'll b glad move it far from your judgement in less than 10 hours
I believe you need to use C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.6.1\System.Speech.dll (for whichever .NET version is appropriate). It is a wrapper around Microsoft.Speech.dll. I was having problems selecting the voice, but it turned out to be just build configuration.
I want to install Xamarin for Android Development in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise.
While installing, Xamarin told me that I was missing a lot of features, so it would download and install them for me. The download size was around 2GB, and I have a really slow internet.
I wanted to know if there is a way to download Xamarin and all required components separately, using some download manager like IDM, and then be able to use it later to re-install/install on another PC.
Also, I was able to find offline setups for JRE and JDK, and also Android Studio and Android SDK/NDK, but still, the download size is around 1.5GB, which I presume is for the required Android SDK libraries, APIs and tools.
So, I am just asking for a guide on downloading all the components and store them for installing later.
According to the official docs (whose pictures are outdated, by the way) you should login to your account and then head to the download page where you could find links to different versions of Xamarin.
I did so, but all that's available there are older versions of Xamarin Studio and the universal installer. Similar searches on the Xamarin Forums yielded no results as well.
There's a way to find the direct URL for each installer by checking the XML used by the Platform Installer (located at \AppData\Local\Temp\Xamarin\downloads\InstallationManifest.xml). I haven't tested whether installing them separately will work or not, but it probably will. Just make sure to install them in the right order (and to install the Android SDK/NDK after installing Xamarin.Android)
Here are the links to the latest versions, as of today:
Xamarin.Android
Android SDK
Android NDK (x64)
GTK#
Xamarin Studio
Xamarin for Visual Studio
It'd be good if someone with a Mac could help me find the URL for Xamarin.iOS, but that's a start :P
You can download this XML file and find the link of latest version of all required components.I did this and the latest links are :
Java JDK 1.7
Android SDK 24.4.1
NDK 10 (32) or NDK 10 (64)
Xamarin for Visual Studio 2015 4.1.2.18
Intel HAXM 6.0.1
Microsoft MSBuild Tools 2015.0
You don't even need to login for download them.
After 1st web install, backup %tmp%\Xamarin\downloads\ , then on a new Windows:
Uninstall Java 1.8 if exists.
Manually install Java JDK 1.7u71 + GTK# + Android SDK (Install for anyone).
Extract NDK to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-ndk-r10e", or make NTFS junction to it (not to run out of C: space later).
Run XamarinInstaller having just *.zip files in %tmp%\Xamarin\downloads\, when you see that current download is "XamarinStudio", disconnect Internet (you can delete the NDK now).
When you see above the progress bar: "Downloading Xamarin Studio", you can close the web installer.
Manually install Xamarin.VisualStudio, and if you want, XamarinStudio.
Step 4 require Internet, but noting to download.
To make NTFS junction, from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android" prompt:
mklink /j android-ndk-r10e T:\android-ndk-r10e
where T: can be USB drive, but not Network drive.
I know it's a link only answer (copyright!), but there are step-by-step instructions including screenshots of how to do that:
Installing Xamarin Made Easy with Offline Installation
I've not tried it, but it should help you.
Found this:
http://ionemind.com/content/get-direct-download-links-xamarin
Links to XML files with direct links to necessary components for Xamarin, including Xamarin for Visual Studio (version 4.5, for VS 2013 and 2015).
Another link I found:
https://dl.xamarin.com/XamarinforVisualStudio/Windows/Xamarin.VisualStudio_4.8.0.1289738.msi
I had installed Xamarin Studio 5 and then it autoupdated its components (to Xamarin Studio 6.3 and the mentioned VisualStudio Tools 4.8).
Then in the "AppData/Roaming/Xamarin X.X" I found a folder for temp downloads. There was the MSI file.
Then I just searched for this exact MSI name to get a direct link.
(on this site https://itblogdsi.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-23.html)
There's actually some info about releases and MSI names and it has Xamarin.VisualStudio_4.9.0.1538920.msi so replace this part in the MSI link above.
It's for VS 2015 only.
Visual Studio 2010 shows error on a DirectX program, which is taken from a books source code.I am very new to DirectX programming. There is not any Microsoft DirectX SDK folder in my computers programs files(i'm using win 8.1). When i try to reinstall DirectX setup has determined that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already. I dont khow what is the matter please help me.
If you want to use D3DX, you need to install the June 2010 DirectX SDK. This is the last SDK that supported D3DX. This page also has some good info on what you need to write DirectX applications.
Am I able to download the Visual Web Developer 11 Beta ISO or EXE?
I have a very bad Internet connection that drops out all the time, so I would like to download it at a friend’s place and not use the Web Platform Installer if it can be helped.
If you are an MSDN subscriber, you should be able to download the ISO from the MSDN Subscriber Downloads page. But I suppose that you are not, considering that you're asking this question!
Unfortunately, I cannot find an official ISO of Visual Web Developer 11 Beta that is publically available on Microsoft's website.
However, you can download an ISO of any of the 4 editions of Visual Studio 11 here, which would include all of the functionality of Visual Web Developer. For example, the Professional version is available here. The download is slightly larger, but if the Internet connection is stable, that should not be an issue.
Thanks guys but I found it here http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28975 VS11_BETA_ULT_ENU.iso is the one.
Now I have it all up and running i'm not sure if I like it!!!
you could use internet download manager, even if your connection drops out the downloaded parts would not be corrupted.
I've downloaded a Vista icon from the web for a new application I'm developing. When I try to compile it in Visual Studio 2005 C++, I get an error message:
error RC2176 : old DIB in res\XXXXX.ico; pass it through SDKPAINT
The error message seems a little misleading, I think the "old DIB" is actually a newer format that it wasn't expecting. I've never heard of SDKPAINT, and Search doesn't find it installed on my system anywhere. Microsoft claims SDKPAINT comes with the Windows 3.0 SDK, but I can't download any SDK due to incompatibilities with our firewall.
I don't really need anything Vista specific in this icon, so anything that would dump the incompatible bits would be fine.
I did a little more digging, and I found this previous question:
Which Icon Editing Software would you recommend for creating icons for apps
The accepted answer for that question suggested IcoFX. I downloaded that and used it to delete the 256x256 and 128x128 versions of the icon, and now everything's fine.
There are two more ways to achieve this in Visual Studio 2005:
replace rc.exe and rcdll.exe of your Visual Studio 2005 installation with the ones from a newer SDK (e.g. Windows Vista, 7 ...) or DDK/WDK (ditto)
or integrate the newer SDK into your Visual Studio 2005 using the respective tool that comes with the SDK
The resource compiler is the part that creates the .res files and then the usual Visual Studio 2005 linker (with the first option) or the SDK tool chain's liner links that into the binary. Meaning that even in conservative scenarios where it is frowned upon to upgrade the tool chain as a whole, this should be harmless.
