I recently visited the site codeproject & went through the tutorial
on install shield. I have recently made an installation which installs
my application in VC++ & at the same time installs the InterBase Server
& console. To achieve this installation i make entries in registry & for
auto starting the interbase server i have made entry in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Run
as InterBaseGuardian REG_STR <root dir="">IBServer.exe -a.
The installation is done in install shield for Microsoft VC++6.
I m facing a whimiscal problem whenever i install my appliaction in a compaq
machine that already contains Interbase server as well as VC++6 installed
in it. I tested my installation in an assembled machine which already has
both the things installed, but there it doesn't show that error.
As soon as the appliation is run it first shows message box "cann't create
socket" and then it shows "XTG unable to establish connection to the host
unknown win 32 error 10106".
Is this error due to the istallation script or its related with the
application or interbase server.
Please help me out i ll be really grateful.
thanking you!

A shell sript (which shell?), Perl script, AWK script or some other kind of script? What's on the first line (does the specified interpreter exist)? Have you made the script executable (with chmod +x)? Is it in the path? Do all external programs called from the script exist? What error messages do you get?

It's a regular Bourne shell script, and at least the echo commands should work and output whatever is given as their parameters. See here for a tutorial on shell scripts, and here for Sun's "sh" reference. All IBM's AIX manuals are also available on-line.

Hello all-
Processes on a windows box have a 4GB memory space, but of this only 2GB is addressible for user data and instructions. The rest is System memory. Windows 2000 Advanced Server can be configured to use upto 3GB for user memory.
The applications that we are porting for our project use a very large amount of memory. Sometimes in the range of 4 GB.
someone might have more information about this limit and any workarounds that might exist for getting access to more of the total memory. Please let us know.
Thanks in advance,
Sarma

if you have not already been there, please check this page on the MS site..which talks about "Application Memory Tuning" which enables your app to access more than 2GB of memory...

thanks

On x86 at least, it's impossible. On 64-bit CPUs (IA64, DEC Alpha) you can use the VLM APIs to access more than 4GB if you have enough physical RAM. Or switch to a Win64 OS. Nothing simple, unfortunately.

Does anyone know of a good method to check to see if someone has rights to a particular application via Active Directory? I actually have to do a conversion (NT Authentication) at work in VB6 (I know  ) and I am looking for a good method to do this. I have seen very little on ADSI, however I think this maybe the way to go but I would just like a little input from anyone who has been involved with something like this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link, but I was looking more for user experience.

I can't see the user experience being any different.
I think the only real visual diff. will be the login screen / fast user switching.

You can't be a member of a domain using XP home, but you can in PRO. This is the reason MS bill Pro as a professional OS.

Hello,
Do anyone know, whether its possible to install "Windows Xp
(Home/Professional) English version upgrade" over an existing "Windows XP Home edition Deutsch" ?
Thanks,

I have a friend (lets call him stupid) somehow corrupted and or lost several files that are needed to install IIS in 2K Pro. He asked me to fix it but he seems to have misplaced his Windows CD (thats why I am calling him stupid) and I do not have Windows 2000. I need 17 files. If someone could email them to me, point me to a download site, or sonork them to me it would be appreciated I need:
infoctrs.ini<br />
inetinfo.exe<br />
logtemp.sql<br />
iisreset.exe<br />
iis.msc<br />
iisperf.pmc<br />
iisrstas.exe<br />
inetmgr.exe<br />
pwstray.exe<br />
pws.exe<br />
axpef.ini<br />
w3ctrs.ini<br />
browscap.ini<br />
fortutil.exe<br />
iissync.exe<br />
ftpctrs.ini<br />
IIS_infoctrs.h
Or if you could get me iis.cab that would be great. Thanks if you can help.

We are moving our Client/Server applications over to Windows Authentication; however I have run into a snag. I have read a few articles showing how to connect to an LDAP Server using Active Directory and ADO, which looks like it implements some sort of SQL like statement to query the database. The problem that I am seeing is that in the From section of the statement you are specifying what looks like a directory path/folder level of sorts. Could someone clear some of this up for me? We would like to require the user to reenter their Windows username and password and validate this is correct before letting them run the application. Please fill me in on any information that you can suggest, I am really stumped here. Thanks in advance.

"directory path/folder lvel of sorts" is probably the LDAP path under which to preform the requested statment you are passing to ADO. AD and LDAP is quite simple and straight foward. MS designed it to be very fast for reading, but updating (especially in a forest) is slow. MS even provides COM objects for talking with AD through ADSI interfaces. The 2000 Dev Days had a whole track on using AD/ADSI and provided an example for doing something similar.
To validate a user logging in you could bypass using ADSI and just attempt loggin them on in determining if they failed or not. ADSI lets you set and clear passwords but doesn't provide a way for you to log and authenicate a user (that I recall) That is why websites that use NT authenication use NTLM that is available with IE for restricted website access.
If the application you are writing is a windows application that the user runs at their machines you can use the currently logged on use as authentication and limit their access to AD that way, this is what the Dev Days track showed as well as a web example.
Cheers,
-Erik

Erik,
Thanks for the reply so quickly. The main application that I am working on now holds a lot of sensitive material (i.e. - credit card numbers). If the user we to walk away from their desktop and not lock their computer down, we would have no way of keeping another individual from accessing this information. Do you still feel that something like this could be done, as if it were making the user re-login to Windows, but only point to the application? I wasn't quite sure where you were going with that. Thank you.

You can make a user "login" for just your app but using LogonUser, this will authenticate them for the domain or workstation.

Is there a way for me to implement the LogonUser method in VB6? I know that most everyone on here does C++, but I work in a VB shop only. I looked at VBAPI.com, but couldn't find anything on it. Any suggestions, thanks for all the help by the way.
