I was trying to download some test results from a Fluke DTX 1200 and 1800 yesterday but discovered that the Fluke USB drivers do not work on Vista. Fluke tech support have no idea when drivers will be available.
In addition the help system in LinkWare 2.6 is based on WinHlp32.exe and this is not available in Vista so you cannot view the help file.
using IWshRuntimeLibrary;
Third, Here is the code :-
// This creates a Folder Shortcut
IWshShell wsh = new WshShellClass();
IWshShortcut shortcut = (IWshShortcut) wsh.CreateShortcut (shortcutpathfilename);
shortcut.TargetPath = targetdir;
shortcut.Save();
shortcutpathfilename is a path & filename of the .lnk file.
targetdir is the directory the link points to.
SQL Server 2005 can be installed on Vista 5728 (Despite the warning indicating it's not compatible), but installing SP1 seems to stop SQL from working. The solution seems to be to remove and then re-install SQL Server 2005.
When is SQL Server 2005 SP2 going to be available? Apparently this will be the version supported on Vista.
Yesterday I upgraded my Vista Beta2 machine to the latest build 5472. The upgrade completed successfully but took about 4 hours to finish! So far I have found the following problems:-
I have a Sony VGN-A497XP laptop with an ATI X600 screen. Since upgrading to 5472 my max resolution has dropped from 1920x1200 to 1600x1200. I’m not happy with this!
There are now 3 devices without drivers. Windows update cannot find them.
The memory stick still does not work
Laptop extra buttons (volume up down, CD eject etc) still do not work.
Welcome Centre->Setup Devices does not work as it says reinstdrvs.exe does not exist.
I’m now running on Vista Ultimate Beta 2 with Office 2007 Beta 2. The Vista install worked fairly well although it did not install an audio driver for my Sony VGN-A497XP laptop. The XP audio driver seemed to install OK. There are still 4 or 5 devices without drivers. One being the Sony memory stick which no longer seems to work.
Office installed without any problems. I’m not very impressed with Outlook it still does a terrible job of multi-tasking. We use an outsourced Exchange Server provider so we access Exchange using RPC over HTTPS and the whole program hangs when getting data from the server. Why is this not implemented on a separate thread so it does not stop the whole UI? Cached mode with RPC over HTTPS does not seem to work. Word is great, if you can read this then it has successfully uploaded this blog entry from Word.
One thing to notice when using Visual Studio 2005...you must right click on the application and select “Run as Administrator” if you want to debug any ASP.NET pages. If you do not do this then the execution does not stop at any of the breakpoints.

This is how to load an Icon from an embedded resource and then use it to change a task bar notification icon.
Firstly embed the icons as a resource. Don't forget to change the Build Action of each icon to "Embedded Resource"
Declare these variables
private System.Drawing.Icon icnNormal;
private System.Drawing.Icon icnAlert;
Put this in your Form_Load() method
System.IO.Stream st;
System.Reflection.Assembly a = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly ();
st = a.GetManifestResourceStream ("{{{YourAppName}}}.Resources.App.ico");
icnNormal = new System.Drawing.Icon (st);
st = a.GetManifestResourceStream ("{{{YourAppName}}}.Resources.arrow-up_32.ico");
icnAlert = new System.Drawing.Icon (st);
Replace {{{YourAppName}}} with the name of your application
To use the icon
notifyIcon1.Icon = icnAlert;
