I have a windows application written in VB6 that uses an ActiveX exe.
On program startup i am registering ActiveX exe with /regserver option.
We wanted to test this application in linux through wine.
Installer worked fine and when program is launched through wine i got
'Object doesn't support action' message.
So i thought it might be ActiveX EXE Registration,so tried to register manually through 'wine cmd' option.There also i am getting same message.
Is this option (/Regserver) not suppported through Wine?
try
wine regsvr32 file.dll or file.ocx
i hope this helps you

I develop software using Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10 Home with the latest updates. When my application throws an exception, the executable according to Windows remains open by itself. When I (or Visual Studio) try to delete (overwrite it with newly built executable) Windows says test.exe is open by test.exe and cannot be deleted even though test.exe is not running and there are no other processes that have a handle to test.exe (verified by running Sysinternals handle.exe tool). The only way to deal with this problem is to reboot Windows or log off and log on.
test.exe uses test.dll. If the exception happens in test.dll code, then test.dll will stay locked until reboot.
I did not have this problem on my previous old laptop with the same OS and I don't have it on my work laptop with Windows 10 Pro.
The .net application is a console one written in c#. The content of the code does not matter, it can be just one line that generates any exception. If I run the binary from explorer, I do not experience this problem, only when I run it from the command line. If I kill the main thread test.exe of my test.exe process in sysinternals process explorer before I hit "debug" or "close" button, then I can delete the file without a problem.
It looks like a Windows bug but why I did not have it in my old laptop and my work laptop?
I wonder if anyone else has experience the same problem? Or even better if someone knows how to fix it.
Thanks a lot!
I have universal project targeting Windows Store 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 platform.
The windows one works fine but I having trouble running the WP one on an emulator. I get the error message saying:
Microsoft Visual Studio Unable to activate Windows Store app
'numbers-here!App'. The Kiss.WindowsPhone.exe process started, but the
activation request failed with error 'Msg in polish that the app did
not start'.
If this was Windows I would check System Event Log and see the logs just before the error what DLL the system was trying to load and that helped a lot when I was debugging similar problem with Windows Store project, here I have no clue on how to check what exactly was being loaded.
The worst part is that I created package (appx) and checked the dll's being packed with exe, it seems that it includes dependencies that the app explicility uses yet something is still missing and this might be some 'hidden' dependency of one of the other dlls.
Any ideas how to debug such issues with emulator?
For me it was due to having WIC code in my App and/or calling CoCreateInstance in a windows phone environment ( on PC it works flawlessly though )
I ran into the same problem on Windows 10. Turns out, that there is no Kernel32.dll on Windows 10 phone!
Instead you need to link against OneCore.lib which provides the entire Win32 API subset that is supported in UWP. This "umbrella library" will load the correct dlls at runtime.

How to execute Windows Forms Application in Linux 5.0. I installed mono 2.8 on my linux machine. Here i am very new.Please help me. For console application of C#, it is executed successfully. But C# windows application it is not executed. Can u tell me what is the pre requisite condition for executing the C# windows application on Linux machine. Please.......
Take a look at the Mono guide to porting Winforms applications
I dont think you can without running it in wine or something like that.
You can code in .net but i think the front end still needs to be in GTK or linux UI equivalent
I have a WPF 4.0 application that I have compiled for x86. When running on 64bit Win7, I need to start up an on-screen keyboard, located in %windows%/System32/osk.exe. Problem is I can't do it- I get an error 'Could not start On-Screen Keyboard'.
I found this thread:
Unable to launch onscreen keyboard (osk.exe) from a 32-bit process on Win7 x64 which sounds exactly like my problem.
I used all the relevant bits from that post, but the error persists. And even worse, I managed to get a 32 bit version of osk.exe and when I try to start THAT I just get a blank error box- no message at all, just a red 'X'.
So I can't compile my app for AnyCPU (3rd party interop libs), and have read that that might not solve the issue anyways. I have also read that one workaround is to disable virtualization using Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection, but that this is unsafe. Seems like a lot of effort just to run a little app :(
What can I do to launch this little thing from my app?
Wrapping the offending app in a exe compiled with AnyCPU works fine and seems to be the least painful approach.
