[DUG] D2007 under VIsta

Wed Aug 27 11:48:09 NZST 2008

There is a menu option "Check for updates" under you program files menu
entry.

Run this and it will download the updates.

Where did you install D2007?

My Vista install is not under "Program Files", but under C:\BDS instead,
I wonder if it makes a difference?

Where is your exe output folder? Perhaps try a path/folder without
blanks etc.

I am quite foxed by this!

I have 3 programs I have written on the desktop as shortcuts.

1 runs perfectly, no UAC, debugger also works fine.

1 runs fine with UAC prompt   (name of program is JBCStart.exe - which I
suspect is the problem).  The UAC also stops the debugger running.  This
sort of makes sense.  The IDE somes up with an obscure message "Cannot
create process" but other than that the "blue dots" and breakpoints
remain visible in the background IDE window as expected.

1 program runs fine - no UAC - but I cannot get the debugger to run.
The "blue dots" and the breakpoints disappear in the IDE window as the
program runs.

Apart from the debugging problem all these I am pretty sure are all
Vista issues and not D2007 issues...

I have noticed that in Vista as compared to XP there is quite a bit of
new slicker appearance etc for D2007.

One point - I installed D2007 on Vista from a disk dated Jul/Aug 2007 -
where can I read up or get later updates?  Was there anything
significant?

	Perhaps if you install it under program files the issue may go
away. 

	You can perhaps also check the properties on the file to see if
vista has put a block etc on it, which you may be able to remove.

	Failing that, get a code signing certificate. Or at least create
your own self signed certificate and install it as a trusted certificate
(not sure how to achieve that last part yet). The best deal on these at
the moment is via the tucows website (need to search the site to find
the entry). US $99 for 1 year.

	Myles.

	No that doesn't work either - it just opens the same UAC dialog
asking if I want to run it.   The dialog offers the choice "I have run
this program before and I trust it" but it obviously does not remember
any past answers to this.

	I suspect its because the program has the word "Start" as part
of the name - its just a program to check versions and start a menu
though.  Is this the Vista apprach to security?  if a program is
suspicious (I understand anything with the words Setup Install and other
words in the name count as this) automically get a UAC prompt....

	I don't mind changing the name of the program if thats easier!
Anyone got information on what program names Vista cares about?
