Built an MSI that does not work under Vista but works under XP

We have built a MSI file that does not work under Vista but works under XP. No errors occur in the installation.  Running the installation "as Administrator".  But the application does not start without errors.

You'd better choose to post your question in the developer forum. You can try the MSDN forums below, but you should definitely provide more details when you do.

  • Windows 7 Professional, DirectInput issues and software that does not work

    A little history: I have Vista Business installed and about 1 1/2 months, I've upgraded to Windows 7 Professional. I attend game and Sim classes that require me to use the Torque Game Builder, Torque Game Engine and Builder of couples of programming. I got Torque Game Builder and constructor not installed with Vista which game me no problem, I upgraded to Windows 7, installed torque game engine. First worked. Recently installed UnRealEd, 3DS max, Maya, Mudbox, MotionBuilder, all work ok. In 2 weeks, when I try to launch the products of couple, they do not work. They appear in the process, but they do not work, when I run in compatibility mode, disable visual themes and disable the composition of the bureau, run as admin, the screen flickers, past at the base, the program does not work. I've updated ALL my drivers from the manufacturer with the last site, I rolled back my drivers to the previous version, I performed a complete installation of Windows 7, tried using a virtual XP Mode machine and create a partition and have a dual boot with Vista business as well. All program worked in a first time in Windows Vista, but not 7. I could also access the program installed in Windows 7 drive and he would run as long as I was on Vista OS. I would then run DXDiag, when it runs, I get, 'DxDiag has detected that there may have been a DirectInput access problem last time that this program has been used. You want to bypass DirectInput this time? "I checked both BONES and found this to be the same issue. I don't remember when I ran the programs recently on Vista and I did a DXDiag, I had data entry.

    Now, I did too, the last Installation program installation of DirectX web and Auditor files system who finds no problem

    My system configuration is:

    Dual Boot: Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista Business
    AMD 64 + 5000 double
    nVidia 8600 GT
    2 GB memory

    The only other program I can tell who has a problem is UnRealEd... all my work of Autodesk products.

  • I need to authenticate my copy of Photoshop CS.  Support helped me for CS2 that does not work for CS.

    My copy of elements has stopped working - bought it installed a little over a year.  Don't have the key.  (He was not with the documents rare-don't not buy HP)

    So, pulled the copy of PS cs.  Is installed in WIndows 10 without problem-except Adobe is no longer authenticates CS and technical support was no help. They gave me a link for CS2, which allows me to download CS2 - but need a serial number. The number of CS does not work.  Another tech support guy gave me a 404 link, and assured me that he would give me an authorization number.  Of course, this does not work. Is it possible to get this thing to work?  I really don't want to pay 10 $par month for software that I bought 3 times already (first we were 7 PS that doesn't install not even earn 10)

    Are you sure you start photoshop cs2 and not your old photoshop cs?

  • One calling CFC-another CFFUNCTION using 'that' does not work

    Hello, all,.

    I have a CFC (let's call it test.cfc) who is supposed to manage a lot of internal calls to other CFFUNCTIONs.

    I had read that using "this.functionName (args);" should work.

    However, for some reason it isn't.  I always use ' components.compName () .functionName (args); "to make it work.  Pseudocode:

    <cffunction name="functionA" access="private" output="no" returntype="any">
        <cfquery name="getThese" datasource="#application.thisDSN#">
          SELECT * FROM tableA ORDER BY ID
        </cfquery>
        <cfreturn getThese />
    </cffunction>
    

    and

    <cffunction name="functionB" access="private" output="yes" returntype="void">
        <cfset tmp = this.functionA() /><cfoutput>#tmp#</cfoutput>
    </cffunction>
    

    This results in the error: make sure that the name is correct and that the component or interface exists.

    But the following works fine:

    <cffunction name="functionB" access="private" output="yes" returntype="void">
        <cfset tmp = components.test().functionA() /><cfoutput>#tmp#</cfoutput>
    </cffunction>
    

    Any suggestions as to why "new this.test () .functionA (); ' does not work?

    V/r,

    ^_^
