VS 2008 Building A 32bit App Instead Of A 64bit App?
Jan 3, 2011I'm running Win7 64bit, but I want the applications I make in VB .NET (.NET 3.5, 2008) to be 32bit instead of 64bit. Is there any way to achieve this?

VS 2008 Running A 32bit Built Program On A 64bit System?
Feb 8, 2011i've finally finished my A2 project by building a program for a real life solution. This program works on the school computers which are 32bit XP but when i try to run it on a Windows 7 64bit system, i can't get it to work after trying various things.

VS 2008 Running A Program Built For AnyCPU That Is Only 32bit Compatible On 64bit OS?
Jun 14, 2010Basically i want to run a program that is created in vb2008 with its compiler properties set to AnyCPUThe programmer has a 32bit os, so he has not recognized that his referenced assemblies are not compatible with 64bit OS and therefore throw system.badimageformatexception on 64bit OS (such as mine; im running windows 7)
now it is my understanding that all 32bit applications can be run on 64bit windows because the WOW64 emulator can run them (just like programs that get installed in the program files x86 directory)so the problem here is that my OS cant recognize that this program must be run in 32bit since that programmer foolishly set the compile options to anycpu i can not contact the programmer and therefore asking him to recompile is not a possible solution.So, how do i run this program as 32 bit on my 64bit OS? how can i manually set 32-bit compatibility? it is not available in compatibility options.I tried running in compatibility mode for windows xp sp2 i tried putting the software in program files x86 folder.

View 2 RepliesWhy Will This Run In 32bit, But Not 64bit
Jan 18, 2010I'm using the following code to iterate through and find windows containing specific strings in their title bars. I have two projects containing this identical information, yet for some reason - it works when targeted to x64, but FindWindowLike returns 0 always on x86. I need this to run in x86.I am developing this on Windows 7 x64, but it needs to run on my machine as well as XPx32. What I can't fathom is why it compiles/runs on x64 but not x32 (considering I'm targetting user*32*.dll)

32bit Or 64bit Framework Install?
Mar 17, 2011Something that is bugging me which My application is targeted for 32 bit machines but I'm not sure which .NET installation package to use with my deployment: 32, 64 or the package with both.I currently bundle the .NET 32 bit installation with my installer and that works fine. I don't have a 64 bit machine to test with, so my question is what version of the framework will my application need on a 64 bit machine?

Oct 6, 2010Ok server is Windows Server 2008 R2. I've already installed other 32 bit applications. I had my own application compiled as ANY CPU, I just copied the folder containing my executable and DLL files to the server. Doing it this way is fine on Windows 2003 Server and other 32 bit operating systems. I registered the DLL files by using regsvr32. When I ran the file, it would come up with an invalid exception error. I compiled it as x86 and tried it again and it crashed immediately without any errors.
So I have VS 2005, application compiled as x86 - what do I do to get it running in Windows Server 2008 R2?Also as a side line, I didn't know that the server was 64bit to start with so I installed 32bit MySQL - should I remove and install 64bit?

Bad Image Format Exception Between 32bit And 64bit Machines
Mar 15, 2012We have a winforms appliction that has to talk to an AS400. To do this we imported the IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries classes in the Winforms application and have IBM System I Access for Windows on our machines. It must have the System I Access or it will not talk to the AS/400. Everything works fine on my 64bit development machine. It also works fine on the client's 64bit machine. However when we attempt to install it on a 32bit machine we get a Bad Image format exception. We tried making just an x86 installer instead of any cpu but that did not work (same bad image exception).
View 2 RepliesRunning 32bit Compiled Program/DLL On 64bit Machine?
May 20, 2011I have some programs written in VB2010 using functions from a DLL. I have compiled and run these programs on a 32bit XP computer and a 32bit Win7 computer and have had no problems accessing the DLL.I have published an installation of these programs and tried running the install on a 64bit Win7 machine and the installation is performed correctly. It installs the programs and copies the required DLL into the same folder. the problem is that whenever I run the software and try to access the DLL I get errors.
The error says something like:
An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT:0x8007000B)
If I click past it the software runs and all of the forms are loaded properly, but anytime in the software if I try to access the DLL I get the same error.I am declaring functions in the DLL like this:
Public Declare Function OpenDriver Lib "OP815M.DLL" (ByVal handle_Renamed As Integer) As Integer
I have also tried placing the DLL in the system32 directory and also the sysWOW64 directory and that did not help as well.I do recall that hardware drivers need to be properly signed and pass the Microsoft Logo testing. Must I get the DLLs I am using properly signed?
Edit: Also it might be fair to mention that I have used the DLL with another program written in C, which would run in the DOS command line in Windows and it correctly accesses the DLL on a 64bit machine, but just when run from the DOS command line in windows.

View 10 RepliesForm.Webbrowser Control Different Between Vista 32bit And Vista 64bit?
Oct 11, 2009I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.

which is my favorite because of the SEAMLESS loop which I cannot accomplish with the first code.However there is a problem.Both will play .WAV files of any frequency be it 44.1 or 48 so long as its 16bit. My problem is that I have .wav files which are 24 bit, and 32 bit. It is odd because these files play and can be made in a variety of audio applications, but when playback is attempted using the supplied code, nothing but silence!While I know how to re-encode the audio to a new bit depth, I need to play back these specific files.
VS2010 Converted 32bit App From .Net 1 To .Net 4 Not Loading Without Local Version Of SQL Server 2008 Express Running?
Mar 28, 2011I have an application that will not load unless my local SQL Server is running on an Vista Home Premium machine. This started after a .Net 1 to .Net 4 conversion. I am using a sub main sub that is not being called (msgbox is not fired when entering the app), however, I see the app through taskmgr with increasing memory usage, but then the app is removed from the list. By design, if the program cannot locate a SQL Server a form pops up with a connection box to locate the SQL Server for the app. How it determines if it has a valid connection is the program looks for a connection string in the registry, then attempts to connect to it, however, none of this code executes because of the failure to enter into the sub main.The two machines I have tried the 32 bit app on
XP Pro: Failed / Using SQL Server 2008 Express
Windows 2003 Server: Works / Using SQL Server 2008 Developer
Both machines have .Net 4 Client Profile with Extended?
VS 2008 SetScrollInfo And GetScrollInfo Not Working On 64bit Os?
Dec 5, 2009I'm using Windows 7 and I built a small application that just moves the scrollbar of the current active window to some value.The problem is that nothing happens. I tried using GetScrollInfo too but I only got 0 in the nPos parameter.
This is my declartions and constants:
Private Declare Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" Alias "GetForegroundWindow" () As IntPtr
Private Declare Auto Function SetScrollInfo Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal fnBar As ScrollBarDirection, ByRef lpsi As SCROLLINFO, ByVal bRepaint As Boolean) As Integer

On the form load I just do a delay of 2000 milliseconds so I could focus on another window, wait and nothing happens.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000)
My.Application.DoEvents()

Building A 2008 Express Project Referencing A Dll
Jun 5, 2009I have written a program in VB.NET 2008 Express that references a .NET managed dll. I simply added a reference to the dll to the project. I then 'Imports' the dll at the beginning of the program and then can use it. Everything works fine when I am running the program in debug mode (and it uses the dll as intended), but as soon as I go to build the project I get an errors that it "Could not reslove this reference" and "Namespace of type specifier in the Imports 'ModbusTCP' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found." The dll is located in a different location on my hard drive to the project location, but this was referenced when I 'added reference'.
