Does anyone recommend any particular command line SVN client for Windows. Being 64 bits would be a bonus. I do have TortoiseSVN, but it doesn't come with command line, which is required for my build scripts. I searched the subversion site and found not one, but four different options. Therefore, my question. SlikSVN ( download ) looks like the most appropriate option given what you want. They aren't 64-bit, but the official Collabnet binaries work fine in 64-bit Windows: http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/ Again its not 64-bit but this is a good open source client http://sourceforge

I'm trying to get notifications whenever the master volume changes on Windows Vista/7. This is the code I'm using: #include <audiopolicy.h> #include <audioclient.h> #include <mmdeviceapi.h> #include <endpointvolume.h> #include <windows.h> #include <shlwapi.h> #include <iostream> #include <Tchar.h> static const GUID AudioSessionVolumeCtx = { 0x2715279f, 0x4139, 0x4ba0, { 0x9c, 0xb1, 0xb3, 0x51, 0xf1, 0xb5, 0x8a, 0x4a } }; template <class T> void SafeRelease(T **ppT) { if (*ppT) { (*ppT)->Release(); *ppT = NULL; } } class CAudioSessionVolume : public IAudioSessionEvents { public: static HRESULT

I have an app that normal users need to be able to run, but requires administrator privileges to actually function. I tried to make the shortcut that my users run it with "Run as administrator" but this just causes a UAC prompt whenever they try to run the app. Is there any way to elevate privileges programatically, without my users needing to go through a UAC prompt and/or knowing an administrator password? From a security standpoint, I understand that most applications shouldn't be allowed to do this, so I'm hoping there is some way to do it if I can provide a valid username/password pair,

I found out an application I wrote does not work properly under Windows Vista/7 if UAC is enabled at any level, because it writes files to the install directory of the program, defaults to "C:\Program Files\MyProgram." If UAC is disabled (or on any other version of Windows) it works properly - I read that UAC denies applications write access to the Program Files directory by default. My question is, well, how should I write my application so that it can be used without any "rights" needed at all. I don't want users to have to run it with elevated privileges or as administrator. I just want it

I have switched to Vista recently and I wanted to keep UAC turned on, as I agree it increases computer security a lot. Some developer tools I use regularly require running elevated: PIX for Windows Visual Studio 2005 (elevated privileges seem to be needed for debugging and for IncrediBuild to work) mapped and substed drives: The elevated process does not seem to see the drives I have mapped in my user account. This article describes the problem, but I am not sure how could I implement its final suggestion to "map these drives in the context of the elevated login" . I have experimented with

I've noticed that the bog-standard ProgressBar in .NET 2.0 (Winforms) does show up as the fancy animated glowing bar in Vista; however, using the ProgressBarRenderer (as one generally has to when trying to draw a progress bar in an owner-drawn list view, grid view, or other such control) just gives the visual style without the pretty animation. I guess it was silly to expect that this would just magically work - I imagine the native control in Vista must have some sort of embedded timer or thread that obviously doesn't exist when drawing a static image. I did see that if you redraw a

So many programs feature a list of possible extensions and protocols under the "Default Programs" control panel applet. "Set Default PRograms", more precisely. (Vista & 7) I wish to add my programs in that list and set some extensions that it can handle. One more thing. My program supports addons for opening more files, so that list should be dynamic (I can add more extensions or even protocols at any time) By the way, yes, I know, this is not exactly a programming question. It'd be my humble guess that it's a registry question. So UAC will not be an issue! The registry keys required to
