Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 work with Windows 7 64 bit - dreamweaver

I am thinking of putting an older version of DW (Macromedia DW4) on my computer at work but locating it around the house will be challenging so I would like to know if it will work on my Windows 7 OS before trying to track it down.
Has anyone tried to install this?
I know it does not list Windows 7 as one of the compatible OSs but that doesn't mean it won't actually work.
Thanks in advance.

It should work fine. If it gives you a minor snag you can always run the installation and the program in "Compatibility Mode" for an older OS. Good luck!

Visual Studio very slow with C++

I am new to C++ programming and have been setting up Unreal Engine 4 with Visual Studio 2019.
The problem I am facing is that VS seems very slow to recognize my code in C++.
For example, it can take more than 10 seconds to recognize that I wrote a method declaration and apply the proper color and give me intellisense (intellicode?) or show me any error. Same problem with variables and such. Code completion is pretty much never happening.
It's unusable right now and I would appreciate if somebody have an idea of what's going on.
I never have this problem in C#.
I tried activate / deactivate extensions (just got a couple of them). I have ran a VS repair.
I have a recent computer (i7 9k, 16gb RAM) running windows 10.
Thanks in advance.

Couldn't create output file(exe) in delphi project

I'm working in Windows-10 pro 64-bit.
When I run my Delphi project the smadav(2019) rev 13.2 antivirus is playing and shows the message a virus (malwez.767), has been found.
How can I fix this case?
There are two possibilities:
Either your Delphi project is a virus.
Either your Delphi project is not a virus.
I imagine you're dealing with the second case. Then it might be a good idea to contact the virusscanner company, and ask them why this problem occurs.
Also, some virusscanners have the possibility to exclude some directories/files from the scanning. Like this, you might try to avoid your Delphi process being scanned at all.

Installing GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) on Windows

This could be an annoying question. But I was hoping someone could provide me with step by step instructions on how to get GLPK up and running on a Windows machine. I have Windows 7 64-bit.
I have tried looking at some instructions on various websites but keep running into problems. I am not very versed in creating directories, working with binaries (e.g. what is a binary), etc.... Even running commands is a little foreign to me.
To get an idea of what kind of detail I need in the instructions, here are some I have tried (and failed) to use:
http://winglpk.sourceforge.net/
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GLPK/Windows
As you can see, I need something fairly detailed. I have read an example of a GLPK program in action, and I believe that once I get the program up and running I should be able to write the code to use it.
Can anyone help me? I would be so grateful.
EDIT: As a parallel question, I would also be interested in suggestions for other programs that will do the similar things as GLPK, but are more straightforward to install and use.
here an easy step-by-step explanation of "how to make glpk work":
To download GLPK , first go to the GLPK windows download page and then follow the instructions here from 1:
Go to control panel to determine whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Windows (assume 64-bit from now on).
Download the latest version of GLPK, 4.65 at the time of writing, from the following address Sourceforge.
Extract the Zip folder by: right clicking on the folder and then>> 7-Zip >> Extract Here as shown. Move the glpk-4.65 folder from your downloads folder to your C: drive.
Assuming you’re using 64-bit Windows, click on the C:\glpk-4.65 folder in Windows explorer, click on the w64 folder, and select and copy the file path, which should be C:\glpk-4.65\w64.
Search and open your Control Panel, select System and Security>>System>>Advanced system settings>>Environment Variables. Then click on ‘path’ in the top window, click the ‘Edit’ button, then ‘New’.
Paste the file path you copied above and save.
DONE.
Here are a few suggestions to get you moving forward:
If you are having difficulty with running Windows command-line, then maybe GLPK (installing by yourself) is not the best bet.
See if you can find someone more experienced in Windows help you with the installation? (Once installed the LP modules are fairly easy to use, no more complex than any of the others)
Do you have access to any commercial solvers? (MATLAB and CPLEX can be great)
If you are going to be working with Windows for some time to come, it is a good idea to invest some time to learn how to download and install software
This SO question has links to lots of other LP/IP solvers such as Gurobi and COIN-OR.
If you don't mind learning a bit of R programming language, I'd recommend downloading R and RStudio, both of which are straightforward. Next, what you want is the lpSolveAPI package. The examples are decent and you can get going in a day or two. (You'll have to learn the basics of R)
If none of these help you progress, post some details of where you are getting stuck in the GLPK download (post the errors you are getting) and someone will try and assist you.
Hope that helps
In my opinion, it would be way easier for you to install e.g. ubuntu, especially if you are interested in other GNU programs. You can use every open-source program on windows, but it will not be easy if you don't understand what is a "search path for binaries"...
Installing softwares and libraries on windows is not easy, which is why windows program usually come with a setup.exe installer that does everything for you (but GNU programs don't).
On the other hand, ubuntu has a beginner-friendly documentation, and once you have installed it on your computer (it won't take you more than 2 hours at most, and 10G of disk space), installing GLPK or any GNU program is pretty straigtforward (just type sudo apt-get install glpk on the command-line).
There is no drawback in having the two systems on the same computer (except for the small amount of disk space used), and getting to know another operating system will certainly teach you more than following any step-by-step guide anyway.
That would be my "general advice". Now if you just want help on how to install glpk on windows, please post more details about what "doesn't work" for you (where did you "failed" to use those instruction? what happened?) because I don't think you can find something more detailed than the second link you posted.
have you set the PATH correctly once you have unziped the files?
To check it, run the cmd.exe and put "echo %path%", if in the list does not appears your glpk folder then you are unnable to execute it right since windows does not find the glpk executables.

Library version differences between linux distros

I'm debugging a program that runs fine on one machine running (fill in the blank with some linux distro and version) but acts flaky on another machine running (different distro/version).
A helpful clue would be to see a side-by-side list of versions of all the major libraries provided by each distro - Qt, boost, libpng, fftw3, etc. including all the obscure ones. We're not concerned about upgrades to libraries that may have happened since (for now).
Today it's Red Hat 5 vs. Fedora 13, but in the past I've wanted to compare Fedora and Ubuntu, and in the future any combination of major distros and versions, from at least four years ago up to last week, could come up. I'm hunting for a general way to find these library version differences.
A web app that lets one pick any two distros and get a list would be awesome. Does such a thing exist? (If not, there's an idea for some entrepreneur.)
Note: I don't have access to one of the machines, so sorting and comparing 'ls /usr/lib' is out.
The closest I know about would definitely be this one (the name rpmfind.net should give away it's RPM centric so Ubuntu will probably not be listed): http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/

D (and Tango) on PowerPC Linux

It's hard to search for D using Google, so I wasn't able to find a good answer:
I have an old iBook G3 and I'd like to install Linux on it and use it to compile (and test) D programs written using Tango on it. Is this possible? Or hasn't anybody tried it, yet? After all the Mac port of GDC + Tango is broken in parts, too.
This used to work, but it has been a combination with few users, and so I'm not sure if it has been tested recently. There shouldn't be major problems with Tango though - compiler is probably likely to a more likely issue. For that, you probably should try to compile your own from a recent SVN checkout (of GDC).
