VC++
Message #51355
But I've had the Win 32 Beta for two months now. When will the VC++ Beta arrive?
Windbg bug
Message #51354
I've just installed the released SDK et al. Windbg has a bug! While debugging another bug (in RtlAllocateHeap) I'm finding that the Effective address calculation (in the register window) is frequently wrong. This makes debugging difficult, er…a challenge. Has this been reported. Is there a fix. And so on, and…
Julie, You might direct people to the new MSLANG32 forum for VC++ NT support and questions. Carl
Robert, This section is for tools that shipped with the SDK. Please post this question in the MSBASIC forum. Thank you, Colin
Philip, There will be a developer's conference in Sept '93 where details of the upcoming SDK will be discussed. All 1.0 ODBC SDK users will receive information in the mail regarding this conference. For more information, look in the ODBC section in the WinEXT forum. Thanks, Colin
#Visual Basic in NT
Message #51285
Sirs, Perhaps I am a bit premature in bringing this up, but I have been trying to use Visual Basic in NT. I haven't seen any other messages here regarding VB in NT and wonder if there are any other known problems. I have tried using the winapi in an…
Harvey, We are not up on Visual C++ for Windows NT issues. Please follow the directions that you received for obtaining support for the beta. Julie There is 1 Reply.
#Visual C++
Message #51253
We are experiencing a problem with Visual C++ and the SNMP libraries. Code generated with Visual C++ will not link with the SNMP libraries. The libraries do link when using MSTOOLS. Why is this and how can we work around it? There is 1 Reply.
VC++
Message #51190
When can we expect to receive VC++ beta for NT ?
Mike: I'll have to try that. I thought that there might be an easy answer. Allen Kempe
Hi Peter. When you say you compiled with -Zi -Od, do you mean that you followed one of the sample makefiles and specified $(cdebug)? If not, please be sure to follow one of the sample makefiles. Usually, you will get the 'breakpoint not instantiated' error from WINDBG if you are…
Hi Scott. You can install the Windows NT operating system and not install the Win 32 SDK. They are separate steps during installation. Please check the hardware compatibility list for the type of hard drive you have to ensure that it is supported. Please direct any follow up questions on…
thanks
#Setting Up for WinDebug
Message #51000
OK, NT Developers!! Does anyone know how to get WinDebug to debug an application? Having never used it before, I am not sure of what behavior to expect. However, if I open a source and try to set a breakpoint, it will say something like: "Breakpoint not instantiated" and the…
Phillip, I'm looking into this. Please post future release questions in section 1. Thanks, Colin
#Win NT Developers CD ROM
Message #50988
I have the Preliminary releases of the Win 32 SDK And am eagerly awaiting the final version. My Question is: Is there a way to do a WIN NT ONLY install for the time being until I can upgrade my Hard Drive? And does it matter what type of hard…
Hi Rob. Documentation for creating .HLP files can be found in the Tools winhelp and in the Tools guide. Nancy Cluts Microsoft Developer Support
#WINHELP
Message #50945
I could not find any references on the CD for generating HLP files for NT. How do I do that? Rob Lefebvre There is 1 Reply.
John, The final release of the Win32 SDK is shipping, so you should receive it soon. These executables are installed into the \mstools\bin directory by default. Sincerely, Julie Solon Microsoft Developer Support
Pao, The file that you are looking for is c:\mstools\setenv.bat. At least, this is where it is for me when I used the graphical install. If it is not there, then look on the CD, from under DOS if you cannot read the CD under Windows NT. Sincerely, Julie Solon…
MSVCNT
Message #50857
Julie, Thanks for the information on MSVCNT and Win32s JP
Dale, With the final retail product is a program called WinObj, with which you can enumerate named objects. Try looking at the symbolic link \BaseNamedObjects. I don't know of a way to associate the named objects with processes, hoever. I'll look into this. Colin P.S. – There is a bug…
Arie, Ahh. There's a known March bug with timestamps when doing filecopies over the net. This should be fixed in the final release, which is being distributed even as we speak, or write, as 'twere. Does the problem occur if you set the remote machine time back 1 hour? Colin
JP, If you have the preliminary Win32 SDK, you will receive a beta copy of Visual C++ for Window NT a few days after you receive the final Win32 SDK. Otherwise, you will have to wait until MSVCNT is released. Sincerely, Julie Solon Microsoft Developer Support
JP, You'll need to use Windows NT hosted tools to create the 32-bit application. Julie
#Windows NT Installation
Message #50782
When I install the Win32 SDK using manual installation, I try to type SETENV :\mstools. It does nothing because there is not setenv.exe in my machine. Can you tell me how can I get the file. How the library and include header file put on the environment after I install…
#rebase.exe and bind.exe
Message #50781
Hello: On the first page of the July 1993 Developer Network News is an article about the rebase.exe and bind.exe tools. I could not find them on the July Beta of the SDK. Are they available yet? If so, where can I get them. Thanks, John Bell There is 1…
Allen, I will be glad to take a look at the application but I'm not sure how useful that will be without being able to see the sources so that I can see if you are using any unsupported API's. Have you tried running the sources through PORTTOOL with the…
Colin, I think I have some more information that might help. I found out that the file which WinDbg saves on the remote NT machine has the time of next hour… For example, if I save the file at 16:32, the file will have the time 17:32. Hope that this…

#Windows NT Interrupts
Message #50659
>I have a questioning concerning the number of interrupts Windows NT allows >to a DOS session. I understand that OS/2 limits DOS sessions to 1000 >interrupts per second. Does NT have a similar limitation? Under NT, the situation is going to be similar to OS/2, since we're both using a…
Yep.

#MFC 2.0 on WindowsNT
Message #50537
Hi, The application on which I am working makes extensive use of Documents and Views. It has been developed using Visual C++ on MS-Windows 3.1. I would like to port it to WindowsNT using Win32s SDK. Is is possible to do it now? What I would like to clarify is…
#List named shared objs
Message #50512
We need a tool that displays all known named shared objects (pipes, memory, semaphores…). At a minimum we would need to know what objects exist. Preferably, we would like to associate these objects with processes (who is the creator, who has it open). Is there a tool about that can…
