Have you tried WIX (Windows Installer XML) toolkit? This one is free and has all the options for creating msi files...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/[^]
I'm not sure if it can setups for multiple CD's, but it's worth looking at, since it allows you to create more flexible setups.

If you can't find a tool to split resources. ( I don't see why it would exist) Then you can alway write your own installer. I am not sure but I would imagine that MSI's have the capability to run scripts and maybe even applications. That could help.

Just double check you spelt things corectly since MD5CSP resides in mscorlib which should be added already. Apart from that I can see no problems.

Is there a better way, then looking at MouseMove?
|

Will try that out!
Thanks

Not possible, because application is always working in the background.
Thanks

Why use the windows api when you can do localisation using resources?

I am writing a MIME parser and i need to convert the Windows-1252 encoded strings to utf-8. For example, the text =?Windows-1252?Q?une_beaut=E9=? should become une beauté.
Do you know what the conversion algorithm is? Does a "shortest" method exist in the framework?
"no xe tuto oro quel che luse"

I think there is no method for parsing this string.
The only thing you can do is to split the string, take the E9 and then using Byte.Parse to take the byte. Then you can convert it using System.Encoding.Convert(... to convert it from Window-1252 to UTF8. Then take the string back from that byte array.

|
|
Thank you for the answer.
I will use the Convert method as you said.
"no xe tuto oro quel che luse"

See this sample:
Encoding source = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252);
Encoding target = Encoding.UTF8;
byte[] input = new byte[1] {0xE9};
byte[] output = Encoding.Convert(source, target, input);
string result = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(output);
Console.WriteLine(result);

Encoding.Default mite be handy

Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio.Net 2005 with Crystal reports. I tried the tutorial on Publishing and consuming a report as a webservice from MSDN. When I run the windows form, I get error messages saying that the report failed to load. It works fine if I give the file path to the .rpt file, but when its been published as a webservice and I give the URL, I get the error. I have the required sample reports and database(MS Access Db). I get the same problem when I try the tutorial about populating a combobox (Windows form) with reports from a webservice. I get the list of reports, but when I try to display the report, I get errors saying the report cannot load.
If anyone knows, plz let me know.
Thx,
Mahesh

hi there,
i have an application with a local database,now i want to transfer datas to a server using cable modem(for security reasons),how can i do this?
i have read some articles on tapi but couldnt use them.
|

Hello...
I don't know how exactly cable modem works, but I think it works like a DSL modem. DSL modem can connect only to a DSLAM. You cannot connect directly DSL modem to DSL modem. That means you must use a good old analog modem (56k modem) or you can use VPN. Just use the VPN function from Windows XP.

hi,
i want to transfer the data in my app using codes not using an external app.
|
|
|
|

Ok... that means you don't know anything about VPN.
VPN is an encrypted network in the internet.
You must first make a connection using Connection Wizard in Windows XP.
Then you can see that Windows XP has created a new network. And you see, that your client and your server got a new IP address. For example : 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2
Then you can send your data (or whatever) through this IP. You can work with your code normally. Your data with automatically encrypted from client to server.

hi,
I know everything about VPN and so but i want to connect by modem and i dont want my user concern about vpn,internet and so,I want to make connection using modem in my source code and handle everything automaticaly,in fact i have some stupid users and they know nothing about internet or network.
|
|
|
|
|
Then find out how to create a VPN from code

It's quite obvious that you don't know how a cable modem works.
You can't use it to "call" another cable modem, or a server for that matter. It will only connect to the cable company service, and supply you with a connection to the Internet. You don't get to tell it where to connect or how. It is mearly a part of the cabling medium that your IP traffic travels over, which your application shouldn't care about at all.
The only way you're going to get a secure connection to your server is to have a VPN tunnel setup between your two networks. How you code builds this tunnel is entirely up to the VPN solution your using. There is no support for this in the .NET Framework.

hello
i have a server where i make a thread to proccess some data. i a time a send some data to the client and i need a response from him. i received the respons from client in server in event OnReceived, but i don't know how to pass this data to the thread. in fact in the thread i want to make a function byte[] SendAndReceived(Byte[]).
in my opinion in the thread i need a new event ThreadOnReceived() where to pass the event(data) received in server OnReceived(), but i don't know if this is a good ideea, and i don't know how to implement it.
thanks,
Mihai
