Hello Kevin,

I came across your blog and noticed that we have the same last name. That doesn't happen too often with "McNeish". I'm on Facebook too at www.facebook.com/profile.php

Take care, Don

re: Fixing the Vista backup error "the system cannot find the specified file"

Vista User999 — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 17:08:23 GMT

I used this information to help cure the same problem on my Vista system, and would like to add that I suspect another issue contributes to the same problem: I continued to have intermittent difficulties with the same error on a removeable USB Drive, and have since disable disk cascheing in computer mangement, by selecting "Optimize for quick removal", rather than "Optimize for performance". I suspect that the disk cascheing does not work well with the large files in the disk images.

I would also like to recommend an outstanding disk imaging program that is easy to use, inexpensive and versatile. Macrium Reflect. Go to www.Macrium.com for info or a free trial.

Regards, Vista User999

"Error 1001: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. --> Could not load file or assembly 'ExecutionEngine, Version=3.0 ... etc The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application.."

How can I fix this error?

How can i give UltraCombo a look same as UltraComboEditor? I have set row.Appearance.BackColor on UltraCombo's MouseEnterElement & MouseLeaveElement events, but i want the same highlight (golden) color while hot-tracking the items in UltraCombo which is in UltraComboEditor. Can you please give me that color code & also how can i set that selected item border rounded?

You will also get this error if you are working in a Web project. If you disable the Web site from being compiled you can get past this error.

Web Project...

I'm using VS2005 and my project is a Web Project. I don't have "Properties" at the project level (only solution level), but instead have "Property Pages". In Property Pages, under start options, is a Debuggers list with ASP.NET, Native code, and SQL Server checkboxes. Playing with these had no effect on the error.

I'm not sure if these checkboxes do the same thing as the ones you are referring to. Also, I'm not yet running SP1 since I'm still looking into all of the changes it brings.

I was terminated because I failed to post an annoucement about my product on my web page!

I was developing in VFP, then decided to try .net. I was just getting the hang of it when they said I had to make a product announcement. I'm not much for vaporware, and ignored them...

Talk about DVD'S, I have more MS discs than AOL<g>. Never did figure out what most of them did???

By the time you figure out some of this technology, they either change the name, or replace it with something else.

Hi Kevin,

Sure looks good until you read about the testing reqirements:

- During your membership, make a reasonable commercial effort to pass one of the software tests authorized by Microsoft and listed in the table below**.
- Upon expiration of your membership, make a reasonable commercial effort to join the Microsoft Partner Program at the Certified level or above with the ISV/Software Solutions Competency, earned by successfully passing one of the software tests authorized by Microsoft and listed in the table below**.

These tests, run $400 (windows mobile) - over 20K (for most of the server version)
