UPDATES

june 11 2009: Running example programs under Vista.

I have tried running all the .EXE programs under Vista Business.

They are to be found in their respective bin > debug folder.

They run OK, except for the following:

• Program 9_8 depends on where it's run - it tries to create a file and the user may not be allowed to do it.
  I suggest the user runs it from the desktop, where it seems to be OK.
• Program 10_11 - Clock.avi is not shipped with Vista.
  The user will have to find another avi file (e.g from google videos).
  They should check that is displays correctly (that they have the right codec installed) before trying this program.
• Program 16_2 - The user will have to add the data source to the file as explained in the book.
  I recompiled this under Vista with the latest version of SQL server.
  It isn't backward compatible with my XP version of the SQL server.
  If users have any problems, users should make sure they have installed SQL Server SP1.
• Program 17_7 Plotting sineX/X
  I was unsure if I was allowed to include the nplot software, so this will have to be compiled and the Nplot DLL added to the References as mentioned in the book.
  I think this is true for XP too.
• Program 18_2 MathDLL won't run - it's just the DLL, but the other programs (which use this) are OK
• Program 19 is OK
• Program 20 The FTDI DLL program have to be installed before this will run (This is also true of XP).

Of course the users can always run the .sln files under Visual Studio, or create them as described in the book.
