On two laptops: Windows 7 and Windows XP.
<script>
var gui = require ('nw.gui');
gui.Shell.showItemInFolder ('C:\\nw\\myProject\\index.html');
</script>
Works (with escaped back-slashes, as shown) on Windows 7 system, fails silently on Windows XP.
I have seen issues posted with OSX and also with Windows 7, but not with XP. Incidently,
the other two Shell methods, openItem() and openExternal() both work perfectly on both
laptops.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you,
Jonathan

I came from VB6 and try to do a VB.net application on VB.net which can print .
I used
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Compatibility.VB6
And also installed the power pack. The application works fine on my Windows 8.1 but is crashing on Windows 7.
I tried to install the power pack on Windows 7 systems as well as I package and deployed on the windows 7 system but still no luck. Could anyone help me, why my application crashing on Windows 7 machine?
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Express on Windows 7 to build a desktop application using .NET services with DirectX 11. I've started testing on 2 different Windows 8 machines. One also has VS2013E on it, and uses Windows 8 Pro. The other does not have Visual Studio, and uses Windows 8.1. On the first machine, all I had to do was move my executable onto the machine and it worked fine. On the second, I see no evidence that it attempts to run. In fact, I added a MessageBox.Show(...) as the very first line in my code to see if my code was breaking anywhere, but still, nothing happens. Any ideas on what I'm missing?
I am working on application for Windows 8 tablet and would like to leverage some features introduced in IE 11.
I am using laptop with Windows 8.1 and IE 11. I was really surprised to see when I was debugging in VS 2013 that my app is running on IE 10 but not IE 11.
I tried to build project in Eclipse setting it up that it should use external browser as it adviced in this article: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21600697 but no luck :-( it still use IE10.
Is there is a way to debug a Windows 8 tablet app in VS 2013 using default browser on laptop? Like IE 11 on Windows 8.1 laptop.
Thank you in advance for help!
The option you tried is not related as it is about Worklight Console's MBS, whereas you are talking about Visual Studio which is an external IDE for Windows Store and Windows Phone 8 app development...
What you want to do is set Internet Explorer 11 as your default browser in your Windows 8 Desktop machine (running Visual Studio). However, that seems to be not so straight forward with Visual Studio in the mix.
Here are some possible solutions:
Where does Visual Studio stores the default browser to use in debug?
Visual Studio opens the default browser instead of Internet Explorer

I've been using microsoft virtual pc to locally run multiple internet explorer versions on my web development machine.
Most the time I pull down the vhds I need from Microsoft here
however, I have not found an IE 10 vhd anywhere on microsoft.com. I've asked microsoft here as well.
Should I copy a windows 7 vhd and just upgrade it to IE 10 for now? cross my fingers it won't run differently on windows 8?
Yup! VM Appliances for all your base are here: http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads
Since you're running Windows XP and already have a Windows 7 VHD, I would say make a duplicate copy of it and upgrade it to IE10. IE10 for Windows 7 can be got from here.
I would suggest you to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro as it includes Hyper-V and native VHD booting support. Native VHD booting is on Windows 7 as well. See this post. This enables you to boot multiple Windows OSes as if running on bare metal.
Let me know if you need further clarifications.
I created an .exe using AutoHotKey. I created it in Windows XP. I've pushed it to some other users who are using later versions of Windows (Vista and/or 8). The .exe is not working in their systems. I don't see any activation of windows or any keystroke functions.
The .exe is opening windows and inputting keystrokes in XP.
Thank you
You have to run AutoHotKey under the Administrator account. See explanation in this article, AutoHotkey cannot interact with Windows 8 Windows…or can it!
