Although something like that came to mind when I first started to developed an automatic update feature, I really had no idea how (and I still don't  ). I was already kind of glad I got this system to work...
If you could put me on the right track though, I would definitely be gratefull!

hi
in C++ and other languages, there's a definition named _MAX_PATH. it's usually 260 which indicates the maximum path length including drive letter, folders and file in bytes.
the OS, on the other hand, has limitations too. it doesn't copy files from too nested folders. it generates an error instead. i like to know whether there's a way to overcome this barrier or increase this value. is this something implemented in the built-in OS or it has a way like changing some values in registry etc.
thanx

The length of a file path is a limitation of the OS. I am not sure WHERE the limitation is (OS code, file system, etc...) but it cant be changed.

That limit is built into the NTFS filesystem API. There is no way to change it.

You can prepend \\?\ to a path that's passed to a Unicode API, but even then, each component of the path is limited to MAX_PATH chars. That's Just How It Is(tm).

hi
what do u mean by "each component of the path"? the items between '\\''s? if so, the folders names are not long and are in the range of 0 and MAX_PATH. the problem is that number of folders are high. in such a case using UNC paths may solve the problem?
thx all

hook it up to a debugger to see what is going on.
You need another PC with either null modem or firewore cable. Then run windbg on that PC. Hook it up to your 64 bit box having booted it in debug mode (by editing boot.ini). Look for /debugport in he windbg help.

so it must support, it is 64 bit processor. If it woudn't support, setup woudn't run.
Does windows freeze in Safe Mode

The only suggestion is to make sure you have all the updated 64-bit drivers for all of your hardware, especially the motherboard.

how to eliminate administrator requirements to run legacy softwares by the domain users without adding them to the local administrator group?
In fact the problem is, domain users are unable to debug the any of the .NET programmes unless i add them to local administrators group.
Please help me as early as possible.

I have debug (developer?) rights on a few relatively locked down systems, IIRC that's a standard option not a custom userclass created by our sysadmin, but I'm not certain. Depending on how the legacy apps were written, unfortunately you might be stuck.

Try checking to make sure your cables are plugged in all the way. And if the problem continues, you could try going to the Control Panel and clicking "Add Hardware".

Look at the BIOS when you boot the computer. Is the second hard drive recognised there?

Make sure that you did not confuse between format the hard drive and delete partition.

Hello gurus,
I have a request concerning batch (.bat) scripting under Windows.
I wish to know if it is possible to detect if a certain process is running.
If it is possible, can some one show me a script snipet to detect if the "toto.exe" (for example) process is running or not?
Or am I obliged to write a small program to do that?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Fred.

Sorry, there is no way to do that without using an external program.
