G'day Folks,
Is anyone else experiencing issues with compiling, debugging etc
under W10?.. (Both x32 & 64 are giving me ..heartburn)!
Or, more to the point, does anyone have a foolproof solution....
.....hope, hope! :-)
I have tried elevating it to run as admin etc .. but during a debuigging
session, it still dies sooner or later with what I think is related to
the W10 (rigorous) permissions ... NB: I don't get a specific error.
NB: I have tried flagging vp.exe as 'admin' as well & I've also tried
setting it to run in compatibility with XP-sp/3. (And it certainly used to
work on that).
At the moment, I'm 'forced' to reboot into XP to make any progress
(NB: I know about VMs... ... just .. not interested in running that way).
FWIW It used to work fine on W7-Ult .. but since upgrading to W10pro
I can't get very far...
Any ideas pls?
Many Thanks.
Barry

Some things to try (no different than Win8 though)
- install outside program files.
- install on a non system drive (e.g. a subst). The root of a system drive is not writable. The root of a non system drive is also non writable, but that can be turned off.
- disable smartscreen, windows defender and other security software. If this solves the problems, you can add acceptions
> NB: I don't get a specific error.
And there is nothing in the Windows event logs?
FWIW, I've turned off M$ offers of a free upgrade to WX (If it ain't broke don't fix it...) and given what I've read about everything that W X is doing under the covers, sending info to the NSA^H^H^HRedmond under the guise of "Customer Experience Programs", I'm not likely to ever upgrade other than to a variety of Linux, and I think that by the time W7 support ends in 2020, Linux will be good enough.
Thanks Robert...
I think it all boiled down to the fact I had forgotten I was running under
W10-x64 (vs x32).... Tho' why the Winsxs doesn't handle it, is a
bit of a surprise . (The Winsxs seems to work quite well on other
x32 things).
As a side issue, once I found that out, I did try running an XP-compiled
version of my program under W10x64 ... but it didn't like that either.
Even tho' it was via an elevated cmd prompt.
I've reloaded a different partition with W10x32p (& W8.1p-x32 as well) -
...and all seems fine now, thankfully.
As regards the comments about Win10...
Yes it does seem v-e-r-y close to W8.1 and AFAIK, it just seems to be MS's
method of getting in (late) to the 'mobile' market - currently 'owned' by Apple
& Google. ie: They're so late 'catching on', I think thay had no choice but to
make W10 free! (...Well, free for 1 year).
Not surprisingly - they've again moved familiar stuff around, so that you have to
hunt to find out where they've put it. Tho' when you get there, it's 99% like the
version you're used-to <sigh>.
Even tho' you may not want to use W10 now, I'd recommend getting the ISO
sometime before the free period expires... tho' it's true, there has already
been a major update for it - which was stuffed - & had to be reissued a couple
of days later! And yes, I was one of the ones who 'got caught' in the...
endless reboot ...! :-) :-(
Cheers,
Barry
