Visual C++ :: CryptUnprotectData Failing When Code Compiled On Windows 7?
Sep 24, 2012
I have a C++ code that reads the database password from the registry and decrypts it using CryptUnprotectData. We have to deploy this application on a Windows 7 machine.
When I compile my code on Windows XP and run it on the test Windows 7 machine, it works absolutely fine. When I compile the same code on my laptop having Windows 7 and run it on the test Windows 7 machine, CryptUnprotectData fails with GetLastError() return '87'. If I run this application on my own laptop with Windows 7 on it, it again works fine probably because my laptop has a lot of things installed including Visual Studio and all the service packs etc.
I believe I have missed out installing some dependency on the test Windows 7 machine but I am unable to figure out what is that. What is it that's making the Windows XP compiled code running fine on the test machine and not the code that's compiled on Windows 7.
Here is the call to CryptUnprotectData in the code:
This is my problem in my subject programming but i dont how to use Array in windows form ... If i run my code i want my Data in listview would not be disappear if i close the form ...?
trying to convert some C++ code written for LINUX/MAC to run on windows. I think signal handling is not as developed for Windows but the error I am getting is that the struct I am trying to use is undefined. I have #include <csignal> at the top and the line giving the problem simply says "struct signal act;". Any pointers or is signal a LINUX native command?
I downloaded glew 1.9.0 files and dragged the lib, include, and bin of the glew into the mingw folder within Code Blocks. I don't know if this is the right thing to do I don't understand how this stuff works. Anyway, I tried to compile my openGL 3.0 program that uses glew and I got this error: The procedure entry point _glewBindArray could not be located in the dynamic link library glew32.dll, How do I install glew properly?
I have to merge two sorted files. Algotrithm that i'm using is below, but it reads not all the numbers in the files, and stops, even the files contain the same number of elements. What is wrong, I can't understand.
I have a c file which can be compiled in Linux via GCC , but when I compile it in NetBeans via Cygwin or MinGW , it doesn't work and keeps throwing a segmentation fault.
Today I am given an assignment to find the zeroes of a function using Newton-Raphson method. Till now, the input I gave to a program was data. But now the function (whose zeroes are to be calculated) is also an input.
Is there a way where I can compile and build a function into a file and during execution of my program open the file and run the machine-language code in it and get the return value?
I have a code in which I am passing string "5368709120" to function strtoull() and it should had returned me number 5368709120 but instead it returns me 1073741824 which is incorrect.
What may be the possible cause of this and how to rectify it?
Code: typedef unsigned long long ULL_Type; char *quotaStr = "5368709120"; ULL_Type quota; quota = strtoull(quotaStr, NULL, 10);
I'm trying to move a dictionary into a group of bite-sized files based off of the length of the strings in each file (I'm ignoring strings of length 1 for obvious reasons). Since I don't know what the longest word is (and I'm not going to look for it), and I don't want redundant files, I decided to use a vector of output file streams that I would put all the words into, but I can't get the file to open.
I took a look at it and found the failbit is 1, but the badbit is 0, so apparently it's a logic error on opening the stream [URL] .... I looked online and decided to try using pointers, but that didn't work either, so now I'm asking what the problem might be, because I can't think of any reason why it isn't working.
void createDictionary() { //declare variables string dictionaryName;//name of dictionary file ifstream dictionaryIn;//file of original dictionary vector<shared_ptr<ofstream>> dictionaryOut;//files where dictionary will be put based off of word length string word;//input from the dictionary file vector<int> lengths;//vector containing available lengths and their locations unsigned long long counter = 0;
All the undos and redos were working fine until the pointer data members came into the picture. The problem is that the values pointed to changed, but the pointers themselves did not. So restoring gives the same pointers but they still point to the new values. I think the solution is that the classes that are the pointer data members themselves need their own Mementos (which would be a lot of work because there are many data member pointers in my program). Is that the only approach?
Here is a sample code to show what I'm talking about. You can compile and run the program to see the problem it has restoring values of pointer data members:
I am using visual studio 2012 on windows 7. but, when I have compiled my programs and run them on an older pc to test out its functions, I receive an error saying that the program is not a "valid win32 application." I have even tested this with a very simple hello world console application, but the problem still remains. Where is the error coming from? is the application corrupted during transport? (upload to internet) or are programs compiled on win 7 incompatible with win xp
I have a weird problem, my computer restarts imidiately after program writen in dev-cpp is compiled AND run. When I run any program, it lasts about 1 second, then program closes, and computer reboots. It doesn't matter whether program is writen now or earlier, my dev-cpp version is 4.9.9.2. Source code can be as simple as this:
#include <iostream> #include <conio.h> using namespace std; int main() { getch(); return 0; }
I've just integrated the Windows SDK V7.0A into my VS2005 application, and I'm getting the dreaded "Application configuration error" when I try to run it on an XP machine.
It runs fine on the development machine, and some customer machines (Win7 and Win8), but will not run on XP due to missing/incorrect version dlls.
I've rebuilt all my libraries, but still no joy.
So, my first question is - If I upgrade the Windows SDK to V7.0A, do I also need to use MFC 10 and msvcrt10, or can I stick with MFC 8?
The next question is, how do I find out which dlls are missing, and which libraries or other dlls are requesting the missing versions?
In my application I have some type of windows showed in an instance of time, and an action shows a new one that i want have the focus all the time , in the way that i can't works with no one of the others. They all are windows, child windows an modeless dialogs, but i don't know how to do. I try use EnableWindow(FALSE) that all the others windows and dialogs, but not works.
I am supposed to implement the member functions of class Person.
class Person { public: Person(); Person(string pname, int page); void get_name() const; void get_age() const;
[Code] ....
The code I wrote is below. Where I am struggling is the program does not allow me to input age. Therefore, I cannot test if my temp for age works. It automatically defaults to 0 because it hasn't taken input. Here is my code:
// Program Title: Person function // Program Description: The program prompts the user for first and last name and age. // It then prints the output that was provided by the user.
#include<iostream> #include<string> using namespace std; class Person {
I am looking at reducing the size of a compiled executable for easier distribution.
What factors affect the size of an output executable?
Would literally having defined and implemented less functions, would make the exec. smaller? Meaning that instead of have a DLL ( yes im on windows ), I would download the source code of a library and comment out the functions ( and code ) that I am not using -- Would this process decrease the size of my exec.?
I used to retrieve IP and NIC information by querying windows registry. Now I'm trying to use GetAdapterAddresses() API. Using GetAdapterAddresses() to get IP is not that easy, I need to dig a long deep as I check some examples so far, anyways my question is: Calling this API will return success on all versions of Windows ie: 32bits & 64bits ?
Though Microsoft has not opened any source, where this API is actually retrieving Windows IP information.?. Is it reading Registry or some windows file.
