I have an program which has the dependencies of MSVCP100D.DLL and MSVCR100D.DLL, x64 version.
This is the screenshot of DependencyWalker in my computer:
When I copy this program to my friend's computer, it can't run since there are no such two files. Then I copied the 2 dll files to his computer.
But it reports some error when executing the program, and when I use dependency walker to check, I found a very strange thing. This is screenshot from him:
Why they are "x64" in my computer and "x86" in his computer? How to fix it?
Update
My friend's system is win7 x64 too.
Finally, after several hours, we fixed it. There are too many strange things.
First. My system is win7 x64.
Here take MSVCP100D.DLL for example. There are two different MSVCP100D.DLL in my computer, one in windows/system32, one in windows/SysWOW64. They have different sizes.
Look at the screenshots:
But in "everything" they have same sizes(even same modified date), that I thought they are the same.
Then I send the dll from system32 via an IM software called QQ.
I dragged the file from windoes/system32 which is 991K, but QQ displayed the size is "726K":
But, if I copy the file into another dir, e.g. D:\, then send it again, the size is correct "991K".
Finally, I copied these dll files into another dir, and package them into zip file, they are sent correctly, and the program run well on my friends' computer.

So I made a few gamemaker games about 11 years ago and tried to run the exe file.
When I run the exe file, nothing really happens just an error box pops up saying you can find out more here. And it points to 3 .tmp files located in the Temp folder on my computer.
Anyone know how to get these exe files working again?
The older versions of game maker games use an old runner that does not work with the newer versions of window (from Vista and up).
Using compatibilty mode does not fix this.
There is however a fix available that replaces the runner in the EXE with an updated one.
The tool was posted by Mark Overmars (the original creator of Game Maker) but the link in his topic is no longer active (the .zip does download but its an HTML page, not the actual tool).

It did work for me and using this program I was able to run a lot of older gm4 + games that I have played before on windows XP.
If its a must - you can always try to run it on an XP machine.
TL;DR:
There is a tool to make them work, I will upload it tonight.
EDIT: Turns out YoYoGames has the tool posted themselves;

You can extract all the files to a directory, then drag your old .exe file onto the converter exe. It will then create a game_old.exe and game.exe and then you should be able to run the game.exe one.
I have a W2K8 box running some automation software.
Once of the drivers that I need to load for it adds a dll into a sub-folder of the program (in Program Files (x86)).
When the program tries to load the driver it spits out an error that it can't find the file. The location that it is looking for the file is correct and if I browse to that location the file is definaelty there.
Other drivers that use similar techniology (i.e. dll's in that same folder) are working fine, in that they find there dll and load up.
If I install the software on a XP/Win7/W2k3 OS it all works fine for the driver in question.
Is there something funky that the OS is doing that is not making the file visible to the program. The account that the servive for this program is running under is an admin account, the same account that I am loggedin with on the console.
I am told that the drivers are all C++ based drivers if that makes any difference.
Thats for any leads

Just off hand, it sounds like a permissions issue. That the application in question doesn't have access to the Program Files folder. Is this something you have checked? If not, I would start there.
I have program that uses a dll to make my device work. The driver for this device is installed on other computers.
My program works properly on my computer, but if I try to install it on another computer the dll no longer functions correctly (dll method can not find device).
But!, If I'm rebuild the program on the failing computer it works well.
What the reason of this behaviour?
Why it start work properly only after rebuilding ?
It could be binding to a different set of dlls that it is dependant on one one computer but these could be different (but compatible) on the other target machine, a recompile would mean that this code then linked against a different library version and functioned.
This is however a best guess as the question is not reall answerable in its current form
Alright. This is utterly puzzling.
I am developing a game project with Xcode 4.1.
The project files are always with me in an USB stick, because I am constantly developing the project on many different Macs.
So I come to a workstation, paste a copy of the project in the USB stick to the desktop, and start working on that copy. When I am done developing, I delete the project in the USB stick, and then copy the one in the workstation's desktop back to the USB stick.
For some reason, my file GameData.h and GameData.m are not properly updated. But everything else in the project is. Basically, I made some edits to GameData, and when I got back home, I noticed that GameData is not the same as the one I was editing a while back. In fact, it only has code I wrote yesterday.
What could be wrong? Why is that file the only thing that never gets copied properly?
Check to make sure your GameData.m/.h files are where you think they are. Select one of them in the navigator tree, right click, select Show in Finder. Examine the file it points to - is it in the same directory as it's project peers, does it have correct (writable) permissions, is it an alias to another file, etc.?
Sometimes you can get into trouble (usually with libs) by adding them to the project, but not checking the box that says "copy into destination group's folder if necessary". In this case, XCode tries to find the file in that other directory (which may not be on all of your Mac machines) rather than the directory where all the other project files are.
I have noticed that occasionally xCode either fails to save a file or fails to rebuild after a file has been changed. It seems to happen on some projects and not others (I've noticed it mostly on a desktop app, but never on phone apps). I have no idea why this happens.
I need to know how to make a software in Visual Studio(VC++ or VB) that can be run from a USB pendrive?
Is there anyway i can create this standalone software that doesnt need any installation in the PC in which the USB is plugged into?
Just save the executable on the drive. All referenced dlls also need to be stored there. If you have code access active you also need to make sure that the drive is allowed to provide executable code.
One more thought: If the system is linux ore mac then you should consder to switch to Java to be platform independend.
Yes, any native code application can run from a pen drive (so long as any dll's or associated files are also stored with it). .NET apps can also run... if the machine has the necessary run times installed.
