Try setting up your own nuget repository, especially if you share components across projects

Clever stuff - thanks :thumbsup:

He he, no but the PC is running an important control system that the normal user is not authorised to shut down. However, if the user logs off, it closes my application.

Sounds like the regional (i.e., locale) settings are different between the two machines.

Your Product key from your boxed Pro 7 will work as an Anytime Upgrade key. I did that myself on a new netbook I had purchased with Win 7 Starter. I chose the Anytime Upgrade, and put in my boxed Win 7 product key, and everything went through. So you're not out of luck.

Thanks Andrew - works a treat :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I have installed Virtual PC and XP (32 bit) and my MSVC 1.52 is installing nicely. Great solution (and free). :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hmmm windows\temp eh? Didn't think of that. I still think APPDATA is probably the best place (thanks AnsHUMAN and Superman. Tony :cool:

Thanks Joe, thats a useful list. Thanks also to everyone else who replied also. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :cool:

Thanks David, that worked a treat! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hi thanks for the reply. I figured out what it was, and as usual its something dumb and not in the area I was looking in. A long, long time ago I had padded out the right hand side of the string with spaces (not sure why I did this). Anyway, as you can imagine, this would totally screw up the justification. Oh well, that grass wont mow itself :laugh: Thanks

In your original message you said "I am linking my app with a number of static libraries which contain dialog resources". This is not possible. A static lib cannot have resources. A DLL (really an exe) can contain resources. Best wishes, Hans [Hans Dietrich Software]

As you discovered, CS_DBLCLKS is a *CLASS* style, it won't work in the Window Create.

Thanks Andrew, this is exactly the information I needed. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Tony :)

Don't blame the programmers.
