    When it comes to deployment you end up in a world of broken links, misnamed redist files etc. I can improve the core speed of my C#/WPF app by 3x using some C++ calls to intrinsics (mostly popcnt) but when it comes to deployment it's an absolute nightmare.

      So don't deploy it, and when the tickets start coming in, reply: "Works on my machine".

          Even worse: Whenever they suddently lose interest in something and head in another direction, Mickeysoft deliberately throws any obstacle in your way theat comes in handy. That usually happens after yet another failed OS and the obstacles are there to usher you in the new direction of the week too. This BS has been going on ever since Vista and that's one of the main reasons why I only call them Mickeysoft anymore.

          This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

            not entirely agreeing... yes they seem to want to bury it.... but it is relatively straightforward to use and deploy. the only hassle I had was supporting *both* 32bit and 64bit. Hence when I used it (many yers ago) I went 32 bits executable only...

              I am only using x86 - all worked fine in VS 2010 - now in VS 2015 it doesn't deploy at all - all the links Microsoft provide in their error messages and documentation are broken. The vcredist file you can download is misnamed and doesn't deploy anyway and I am getting public key issues. I have these issues a lot and have decided it is time to scrap C++ - it's far too much bother at the deployment stage - I hate deployment at the best of times.

                RT KS documentation is now minimal/wrong/missing. WDM hardly gets a meniton in new technology, its all WDF. Soon the raw API docs will get pulled I expect.
