My Tech Rambling

I was mad trying to get registered with TPB for a long time and for some reasons, it didn't work even though the details provided were. While I was doing some experiment with IP anonymizer, I came across Change IP & Country ( cIPC) from http://anonymizer.nntime.com/ and I tried registering with TPB and it worked. I am not sure why TPB has blocked registration from my country.

I was quite frustrated that I could not install VSeWSSv12.exe - WSS 3.0 Visual Studio extensions 1.2 for VS 2008, because it requires having WSS 3.0 installed on the machine. I don't have a powerful computer to host a vpc / vm with Windows 2003, Visual Studio and WSS all the other required things to develop applications. I had to break - through the installation process somehow. So when executing the "VSeWSSv12.exe" downloaded from MS, it unpacks the MSI to a folder "C:\Program Files\MSECache\vsewssv12.en-us" and starts the MSI installer. While still the setup is executing, I copied that folder to another location. I had the ORCA, MSI Editor already installed. By Trial and error, I found that, by dropping WSSNotInstalled Action from CustomAction does the trick. Once the extensions are installed, Sharepoint Project types within VS 2008 will start appearing. Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll and any other sharepoint DLL's which would be reference within the projects w...

Recently I and my team started building so-called RIA kinda solutions and we are doing it using Adobe family of technologies Flash, Flex, ActionScripts, blazeds, weborb and etc. We are using Adobe Flex Builder as the IDE for developing the same. The debug feature for the Flex was working on few machines and in few machines it threw us an error as below. "Installed Adobe Flash Player is Not a Debugger" with a detailed message saying, Flex Builder cannot locate the required debug version of Adobe Flash Player. You may need to install the debug version of AdobeFlash Player 9.0 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to debug with the current version?" Installing the Flash player from the link provided in the error message also did not help. I searched the internet for a while and could not file anything useful to fix this. This has become annoying and we found it was difficult without debugging. This is what I had done to fix it. Uninstall any Flash player from Add R...
