I'm getting crazy with this problem. I got in my hands a Windows XP embedded and I need to install Framework .NET3.0 and I tried everything in my mind. I've been reading a lot of wXPe and everybody says that you have to take the XPe Rollout 1.0 from your tools and remake the image.
This is my biggest problem, I didn't have any of this tools, I just have a computer with wXPe installed and I need to install my software and I don't have any kind of feedback of who have done it.
I spend a lot of time to understand the ewf and finally I get disabled. But now, I need .NET3.0 and once I get unpacked I can continue with the installation, it seems freezed, I can't continue with the installation.
I've tried to install .NET2.0, it unpacks but suddently stops.
Any idea?! I'm start thinking that is impossible without rebulding the image, but at this time, this is not an option.
Thanks!
Did you manage to get .Net framework installed on your XP Embedded image?
The problem with XP embedded is, if you leave one component out while building your image then some features/programs won't work or install.
I had the same problem with one of my XP embedded images and I figured out that I had to add the .Net framework 2 component in order to install .Net framework 3 on the image. A website I find handy is this one, there's sld's on the website you can use, if you don't have the platform builder, I will be able to help you to build a new image

I downloaded from official site and installed latest version of Gammu for windows.
The set-up runs just fine like any other exe I have ever installed.
Then, when I try to call the command as instructed in the official guide I get this message: (alternative)
I've tried anything but it's always the same.
All of the other similar "win32 not a valid application" questions are related to self-made applications or programming in general: I haven't found a similar problem related to gammu in the whole web, except for a very old case from seven years ago which suggest to downgrade, which of course I can't do.
any suggestion to this problem? anyone had a similar one
Okay, there seems to be problem with running apps built with recent Visual studio on Windows XP and 2003.
Fortunately there is a configuration to change this.
I've just committed this change to Gammu and the new binaries will soon build. They should be available for download here. It would be great if you can test them...
Recently lost my hard drive where I had WAMP installed and Imagick working.
Someone else did that part for me way back.
Reinstalling Win7 and getting everything working again = nightmare.
So I installed the latest version of WAMP - NO Imagick.
3 days of trying all the solutions on this site (and some others - sorry) and got nowhere.
Does anyone know of a "one shot" installation that will work out the box?
Maybe a fork of one of them - I looked but found nothing
Or maybe I should install Ubuntu onto an old PC and use that as a web server on my home LAN?
Seriously - they are depreciating the GD library some time soon and Imagick is apparently the successor but no-one supports Imagick natively.
Jumping through all sorts of hoops is no guarantee that it will work either as I have painfully found out.
Thanks in advance people.
WAMP and XAMPP are not up to speed with the transition from the soon to be removed GD library to the ImageMagic library and it would seem that neither are planning to bring their products up to date any time soon.
That leaves many users with a major problem as most web site developers need to be able to manipulate images at some time or another during their work.
For users who are not at a reasonably high level of expertize as far as messing around in the guts of the (in my case, Windows) operating systems, this is a nightmare and can be downright dangerous.
I did find what seemed to be a viable alternative in WampDeveloper Pro but unless you specifically go looking for it, their website is very hush-hush about the fact that its going to cost you over $125 to get it working.
You only find out about this at the first run after installing.
So my options are the following:
Put one of the Ubuntu distributions on a VM
or
Find an old drive, install it into your PC and make the PC dual boot using a Ubuntu distribution.
The second option will "ease" me into converting from Microsoft based OS reliance to a Linux based OS however if that does not work out, I do have the option to create an Ubuntu VM under the Windows system (I have used VM for a while under Windows) and use that in place of the other Windows based web server alternatives.
Either way I will be able to carry on servicing my clients and making a living without spending money or having a stroke due to pure frustration.
I may regret this decision BUT I may start wondering to myself "Now why did you wait so long?"
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, seeing as I don't currently have any code to share, but perhaps someone has an insight.
I have a very old Flash MX projection (.exe file) that was written and compiled in flash MX 2004. It's a simple interactive app - a test where a user picks an answer to a question and pushes ENTER to move to the next question.
The projection works fine on WinXP SP3 but doesn't work in win7, failing with a "class not registered" error.
It does work after I install flash player activex (I tried installing the latest, and also legacy version 6 r71), but then it doesn't register any keyboard commands and crashes a short while after a key is pressed.
Any idea what can be causing this?
So far I've tried fiddling with IE security settings, disabling DWM and windows themes, compatibility settings, etc., with no luck.
Also, despite the fact that the compiled projection is supposed to have all necessary components to run inside, it doesn't run if flash.ocx isn't registered. Isn't that weird?
Any help will be appreciated. I know this is old stuff and no one promises compatibility etc. And I don't even have the code as of now (not sure I can find it; assume I can't) - but this app is somewhat important to my company and this really seems like a "small" issue - if I could just find it...
Update - it kinda works if install the latest flash player and run it in compatibility mode - but it hangs after about a minute, regardless of what i do.
if i run it without compatibility mode, it doesn't run with a "library not registered" error.
You might want to repackage it.
Extract SWF from projector executable, for example, using this tool.
Get the newest standalone Flash Player and check if your .swf-file works with it.
Now export new projector file.
If this doesn't work for you, the only other way to do this is to recompile your .swf from source.
I agree with Ale's solution.
Have you tried Window's compatibility options to run the .exe as it would in an older compatibility mode ? This may work.
I got a weird problem with my VB app that has got me very confused. I am updating an existing program. I had to add some processing queue capabilities. On my system, unit testing worked great but when I compile it and run it on a different computer (a network server machine) it first tries to open an office install. If I cancel this, the program seems to run fine. The problem is that this program will be run in the background and I can't be hitting cancel each time it runs.
So my question is this: what is going on here? I'm usually a java developer we eclipse so I'm used to being able to include all the needed libs into the jar files automatically. It doesn't seem like the case with VB6. it seems like it expects all the same libs to be on all the systems. Is there any way to tell what might be triggering this?
The only thing I can think of that is causing it is that I'm using the "OpenProcess" function in the kernal32 lib. that the only major change I have made.
any help would be very appricated. thanks!
EDIT:
It seems that multiple versions of word were installed on the system and it was screwing things up somehow. We uninstalled one and it fixed it.
I ran into this a while ago and it was related to my installer for the VB6 app overwriting some system files for Office that it shouldn't have. Any time one of the System dlls was accessed Windows would determine that something was wrong and the Office installer would start up.
The short-term fix was to let the Office Installer repair the broken chain of dlls.
The long-term fix was to never overwrite built-in Windows System dlls.

Bit of a random one here, and I've exhausted my knowledge on how to try and remedy this.
Basically I've just switched out my hard-drive over to an SSD (best move I ever did), and along with this I've had to reinstall everything from the ground up. When I've done so however VS2010 Express for Windows Phone keeps giving me this error with my existing projects(Silverlight 4 SDK is not installed + bunch of warnings).
But I have made sure it is installed
I have gone through reinstalling the Silverlight 4 SDK, uninstalling all of Silverlight + VS (and all it's many, many components in Control Panel) and performed updates via Windows Update, rebooting etc. Nothing seems to work.
Strange thing is though, if I create a new project it works just fine, no warnings, no errors, nothing. I'm completely stumped.
Any ideas guys?
My usual install process is:
Silverlight SDK > VS2010 Express for WP7 > Begin Developing
I have deleted the .suo/.user files, also the obj and Bin directories too. No avail :(
The only thing really that has changed since my last install was the directory I am loading the actual projects from (but I don't see how this could affect it?).
I wasn't able to solve this one without performing a full reinstall. I did discover some other elements of Win32 applications having issues as well, seems my Windows install was simply broken.
