Does anyone know what is the error message given by the Windows Installer in the case that the version of Installer on the system is too old for the MSI package you are trying to install?

"The Windows Installer service version on your system is too low"
Just a dialog with the above or a similar message the message can vary depending upon what utility was used to create the MSI or if the message was customized.

Thank you very much, I didn't realize that it could vary. I will have to take that into account.

It doesn't vary to often but there were some differences in various versions of the authoring utilities. You probably would not see this unless you compared older MSI's with some newer ones and you actually had an error. I guess if you are getting an error this might be an older MSI, Oh well nuff said on this topic

Anyone else run into this situation?
Developing apps in VS 2005 using ClickOnce Deployment.
PCs have Proventia software installed (Firewall, virus program) which
is preventing the apps from installing. My co-worker tried to install by using the setup.exe program and by .msi program but to no avail.
This app is preventing ClickOnce from executing the Install program to run to completion.
Any work arounds or solutions?
TIA.
Mike

In my opinion, you should check the configuration on Proventia software.

You are correct, its just that our Deployment Department is handling the testing of this software and they will have to configure the software accordingly. They are aware of the issue with ClickOnce, they will have to come up will solutions or work-arounds.
I was just curious if anyone else had the same issue.
Thanks.

I need a script with parameters (LoginID,Password) which log off the Windows 2003 server and then login.

Are you asking how to log the server back in with a specific account automatically??
You can learn more about setting up automatic logon with a little Googling - "windows server 2003 automatic logon[^]".
And noone here is going to write the script for you. This isn't Rent-A-Coder...

Oops, one error is solved. actually I didn't click on "Save settings" in gmail after I enabled POP.
But still I'm not able to send a test mail. It simply says,

Not able to send mail, check email address. Bullsh*t :mad:<br />
Btw, I'm able to receive mails.

Have you enabled the SMTP authentication?
Just Google it.
Failing that try phoning

|
|
|

Yup I've done it. I also selected the "use same account" for SMTP.

Wipe the drive and reinstall from scratch.
It's also possible that whatever your using for virus scanning is actually preventing EXPLORER.EXE from running! I know, that's insane, but I've seen it a couple times before. Try and launch EXPLORER.EXE yourself from the TaskManager and see.

I did it. It didn't work.
The problem is solved now. (The whole thing happened at a friend's machine) He deleted a dll (don't remember the name) that was somehow related to the problem. When he tried to open the explorer.exe the box for reporting errors to microsoft showed up and that dll was identified there. He tried deleting it, it worked.. Else, 9 virus were identifyed with AVG, none with Norton..

Hello and good day
Windows XP Professional allows for "locking" of a computer as opposed to logging out or shutting down. Currently, the network I am on has no Event Sync for this practice whereas it does have them for Logon and Logout.
I'm trying to write a small application that will populate a column in a datagrid with the status of individuals on the network (whether they are in or out of the office). To do this, I need an Event Sync to push out to all network machines that fires when their computer is locked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also posted in this in a couple other message boards because I'm not 100% certain which board it most pertains to.
Thank you!

If a program that is displaying an icon in the notification area (aka tray) of the Windows taskbar crashes or is terminated, the icon still remains until you move the mouse over it. (I guess Windows doesn't remove the icon until it determines that it the program is non responding).
Does anybody know of a way to cause Windows to force a refresh of the notification area and thereby remove the orphaned icon? I need to do this programmatically (from a process that is monitoring the program which created the icon but then crashed or was terminated).

AFAIK, there is no way to force a cleanup of the tray area. I haven't been able to find any API's in Win32 to do this.

There is always a way! Use a hook and send a WM_MOUSEMOVE? event across the entire task bar every 5 seconds or so.
static int Sqrt(int x) { if (x<0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); int temp, y=0, b=0x8000, bshft=15, v=x; do { if (v>=(temp=(y<<1)+b<<bshft--)) {="" y+="b;" v-="temp;" }="" while="" ((b="">>=1)>0); return y;

Lousy solution since it actually moves the mouse pointer away from where you put it with the mouse. You'd have to reposition the mouse to where you found it, just before you hijacked it, then put it back. Oh! You also have to hope that the user isn't actually using the mouse at the time!

Not so becuase you are not moving the mouse. You are sending the mouse move event to a window. You can also send keyboard events to "type" in a window even though that window does not have focus. The same is true for the mouse or any other events. If you had a top level window you could send a WM_MOUSEMOVE to a window that is underneith it. Hooks allow you to have alot of power.
static int Sqrt(int x) { if (x<0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(); int temp, y=0, b=0x8000, bshft=15, v=x; do { if (v>=(temp=(y<<1)+b<<bshft--)) {="" y+="b;" v-="temp;" }="" while="" ((b="">>=1)>0); return y;
