Migrating a legacy VC6 application to Windows Store application

Hi,
I have a legacy VC6 application. It is developed purely in C++ and MFC.
I need to run this on Windows RT tablet.What should I do?
Is it possible to migrate the old application to Windows Store application?
Also, what are the system specifications and tools required to develop the Windows Store application?

You will have to rewrite at least the UI portion of your application. Further changes depend on what system functionality you are using. The more of your code is dealing with system calls the more changes will be necessary.
So basically you will likely be able to reuse parts of the code implementing your business logic but everything dealing with file accesses or presentation will likely need to be reworked. There is no automated process to transform Applications from targeting
Win32/MFC to WinRT.
As development tool I would suggest to use Visual Studio 2013 running on Windows 8.1.

What is the alternative for DisplayMemberPath="Value" for Windows Store applications?

I think there is a bug with Windows Store Applications when it comes to using DisplayMemberPath="Value".
Here is my code
<ComboBox Height="40" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" SelectedValuePath="Key" DisplayMemberPath="Value" x:Name="comboBox1" FontSize="25"/>
var source = new Dictionary<string, double>();
source.Add("Item1", 0.4);
source.Add("Item2", 0.3);
source.Add("Item3", 0.1);
source.Add("Item4", 0.1);
var formateDSource = new Dictionary<string, string>();
foreach (var item in source)
formateDSource.Add(string.Format("[{0}, {1}]", item.Key, item.Value), item.Key);
comboBox1.ItemsSource = source;
If you use this code in WPF in works perfectly. However if you use this code in a Windows Store Application then the Combo Box is empty and an error is thrown. So is there an alternative way to do this in Windows Store Applications and have I unearthed a
bug? Because I have researched the Web for days and found no solution to this.*please do not comment unless you have tried my code as a Windows Store App not a WPF in Visual Studios. Can Someone post an example based on my code that works in Windows Store
Apps please because this is terrible.
Thanks

It looks like you got an answer on SO:

This does look like a bug.

If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.
NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.

Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro Application Launcher Remote Desktop Services Feed VDI with Windows Store Remote Desktop Client

I wanted to make kiosks which are joined into a domain and set up with an Remote Desktop Web Feed with VDI Desktops (to support Single Sign On and minimize configuration needs on the client side). And I wanted to lock those Clients to launch only the Remote
Desktop Windows Store application. And if somebody clicks on a Desktop Pool then connect to the choosen Pool. But instead of doing this the Remote Desktop application opens the Pool within the old mstsc.exe and right after connecting the OS switches the focus
back to the Remote Desktop Windows Store application. And nobody can work in the office with this configuration.
So how can I correct this problem? Any other solutions? What is the official way to doing this?

Hi,
Based on my test, we cannot associate .rdp files with the Remote Desktop Windows Store App. Therefore, you may have to use MSTSC or configure the setting in the Remote Desktop
Windows Store App manually.
Best Regards.

Installation of any Windows Store Application.

Can I install some Windows Store Applications to the
optional directories and or drive.

Unfortunately, no. You can define a different path to install Store Applications to, but they all have to go to that location. You cannot have some in one directory, and some in another.
To change the default path, you'll need to head into your registry and change a key - see the screenshot below for more info:
Keep in mind: if you change the path, and you already have some apps installed, you will no longer be able to update them. This is because they'll exist in the old path - not the new one. To prevent this, you'll need to uninstall all apps
(built-in as well as apps you've installed), then change the path. See
this link for more information.
Hope that helps!

How to create a file in application data local folder which is not hidden in windows store app?

I want to create a log file in ApplicationData local folder.
m_StorageFile = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync(m_Name.Replace(" ", "_") + ".log",
CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
First time when my app is launched, the file gets created and logs are written.
When I close my app, and re run the app once again, the log file that was created is now hidden and when i try to call
the code : m_StorageFile = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync(m_Name.Replace(" ", "_") + ".log",
CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
m_StorageFile is NULL.
How can i prevent the file from becoming Hidden or ReadOnly.
Thanks

Here is a very simple sample that works fine. Start with this and see what you are doing different.

Windows 10 needs an option to completely remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store.

The main thing I expected for next version of Windows is an to completity remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store. Microsoft does not understand the Windows 8 bad reputation and has not learned anything.

A little Microsoft last years history:
Microsoft en general has good operatings systems in all segments, good office and server products, before year 2010.
The best OS that Microsoft never ended is Longhorn:
http://www.zdnet.com/windows-longhorn-still-the-most-exciting-windows-ui-to-date-7000007363/
http://longhorn.ms/
Microsoft be the first on a good mobile OS: Windows Mobile. In lastest versions of Windows Mobile, i can sync all my Exchange items, including tasks and notes. Its has a good interface with a menu, a desktop with shortcuts and more. Every new version improve
visuals with more effects, gradients, transparencies and more. Windows Mobile are far years old than iOS or Android.
But since year 2010, Microsoft presents Windows Phone, with and ugly user interface, with less visuals, no desktop, no notifications, no apps, no app compatibility with Windows Mobile and only sync Contacts and Email. No calendar, tasks, notes. Also the
simplicity of the Mail app makes it unuseable.
Now, in 2014, Windows Phone can sync Calendar, but no Tasks or Notes. Less than in Windows Mobile.
Android is new for year 2009 and mimics desktop OS's and Windows Mobile with a desktop and gadgets. In every new version of Android i see a lot of improvements and new features. I also sync Exchange tasks and with another app, Exchange Notes. Android continues
to mimic desktop OS's now featuring Windows on a mobile OS, but Microsoft is removing desktop features in order to a limited Metro ugly interface.
Windows Mobile had a 30% market share and Windows Phone has a 2,5% of market share.
With this bad and ugly OS, Microsoft completity destroys Nokia.
With this bad reputation of an ugly and unuseable OS, Microsoft decide to put all this ugly OS to the Windows Desktop OS, with less features than older Windows OS versions,
obtaining no more than 10% of market share, compared to the more than 50% of Windows 7 and the more than 20% of Windows XP.
Also Microsoft remove features in every new version of every Microsoft product except in SQL Server.
Microsoft Office removed crucial features and shows an ugly UI with ugly icons. For example, Office 2013 shows me less emails on screen than Office 2010. Also the lack of constrast and the lack of ClearType make it difficult to read.
The UI and icons in Visual Studio with the ridicolous ALL CAPS menu are higly
criticized by the developer community forcing Microsoft to change visuals, new icons and a Visual Studio 10 Theme. But continues flat, ugly and with less features than previous versions.
Exchange removes the Exchange Management Console and Exchange Control Panel for an ugly web interface. More functions and commands need to do now by the Exchange Powershell cmdlet commands instead of a Visual GUI interface.
With this bad numbers and reputacion, Microsoft also puts these ugly OS on the new XBox One, a cloud console developed for a
house living room to show TV, movies, listen music and play games. Initially forced to always connected to Internet, Microsoft was forced to remove that and the kinect due to the poor reception of a console not developed to power games users and
with insuffient power for actual games. Actual sales data compared to Playstation4 shows a bad and dead product like Nokia Phones.
And now, close to year 2015, with all this bad reputation and numbers, Microsoft still continues to force to an ugly, flat and simple OS with apps and cloud. I never use cloud or put my private data on the cloud.
With even more reason never put my company or work data on the cloud.
I do not trust the cloud, and even less
trust in Microsoft. Ads like Scroogled,
make me gain more confidence in Google
and lose even more confidence in Microsoft,
because you need to attack the competition rather than
focus on developing good products.
Instead i got at least the same features on a new OS, i never upgrade.
Less appearance settings. No advanced appearance settings like in Windows 7. No Aero. No Themes. No Customizations options. Only flat and ugly design, with bad and heavy colors that makes eye strained and lack of constrast between areas on the Window of
an application (see Office 2013).
Less Protect System options. No Shadow Copies or Prevoius Versions. File History is unusefull.
Less Network options. No Network map. Less Wi-Fi features. No Bluetooth File sharing.
No desktop games.
General ugly UI without options. I dont like FLAT.
Why change Windows 7 with an OS with less features like Windows 8.x and 10?
The only new is:
Ugly Metro/Modern UI does nobody wants and solicitated this.
Simple apps with ADS that are practically unusefull on desktop PC and more on enterprise.
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own private data on the cloud?
Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own company private data on the cloud?
Nobody wants to create a Microsoft Account or use a Store of Simple apps with ADS. Nobody solicitated this but Microsoft wahts to makes money.
Seeing the little progress
and development of new features including
new versions, as
Windows Phone 7 to Windows
Phone 8, Windows
8 to 8.1 and 10 shows the
reducidad capacity and
the current difficulty of
development by Microsoft
counting the numerous
layoffs and closing of
numerous development teams.
Serious and professional developers never develop Windows Store/Metro-Style apps.
They develops .NET, Windows Forms Applications, WPF, MFC, C++, etc. applications.
That is the actual technology that people are using, learning and jobs searching.
And what Microsoft means Modern or actually:
“Windows Store/Phone Projects”
is technology that never wants, nobody asked and needed for.
I never see a decent “Windows Store/Phone Projects” or a rich client app on that technology. I only see garbage, spam, ads and its the better platform for spammers, and people who want to get my money badly and with bad ways.
“Windows Store/Phone Projects” is the best platform for thieves, crooks, swindlers and more.
I never develop to a simply unusefull platform whit limited technologies and a platform in which Microsoft gets 20% of my work.
I want .NET technologies, WPF, Windows Form and to create exe files. For Mobile/Tablet platform i used .apk files that not need a store to distribute them.
I expect from next version of Windows to create local accounts and options to COMPLETITY disable Metro and Windows Store with the restore of removed features like Shadow Copies, Backup and Restore, Aero, Advanced Appearance Settings, Expand All Programs
in Start Menu, Games apps like Solitaire, Mineswipper, Chess Titans, DVD Maker and more removed features. If Microsoft not do this, the next version of Windows continues to be another disaster like Windows 8.x and people stick with Windows XP and 7 in order
to think about migrations to Mac OSX or Linux.
For all who likes and defends the new Microsoft concept, please see the actual Microsoft marketshare in all segments.
Microsoft has to think and open your eyes
and see that from 2010 all
new versions of their products are inferior
products with fewer features,
destroying and killing the product like Windows Mobile, Nokia, Windows, XBox, etc. Microsoft needs to see the marketshare of all this new products and compare with the marketshare of old products.
It is very serious and a lot of attention
today that Windows XP has greater
market share than Windows 8.x for this reason
alone should be enough for Microsoft
to react and change all their wonderful way
of thinking and his philosophy like
"Devices and Services "or the
new" Cloud first,
Mobile First ".
In business, one of the main premises
is that if a product works and sold, do not change it. Microsoft is not only changing Windows, is elimintating the sale of the 50% marketshare of Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate edition. And
more, for more than 2 years, Microsoft is not developing any Service Pack for Windows 7, that is unaceptable. All of this is stupid and idot and the best things to lost confidence and trust on Microsoft.
Microsoft is doing the all things that i can do to kill a company.
Remember those companies, like Coca-Cola, Xerox, etc. that
were about to go bankrupt to change
its philosophy and strategy, which worked
very well, and failed to get up
again until they return to its own strategy and
philosophy of the beginning.

Grantor Objects Migration from Legacy System

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which I will be requried to migrate Grantor objects (Programs, Application, Claim, Change Request, billing documents) from legacy system.
I checked the busines objects for Application but could not find the Create Method as we have for Sales Order or Activities.
Can we migrate these objects from Legacy System using lsmw or BAPI's?
Thanks in advance.

I just noticed the same. Looking at the following error message it seems to do a version check and based on the results of that check I would think that it's not supported yet.
System.ArgumentException: User agent string ("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.4; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; MSAuthHost/1.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko") does not contain match for Windows version regex pattern ("Windows NT (?<Version>6\.2|6\.3)").

Windows 8.1 - Windows Store - Error Code: 0x80073cf9

Hi All,
After a quick Google search, it appears that I am not the only person who seems to be having issues with the Windows Store. Whenever I try to download certain games or apps, I receive the following error message:
"Something happened and your purchase can't be completed. Error code: 0x80073cf9"
I have tried all of "quick fixes" such as recreating the "AUInstallAgent" and "AppReadiness" folders in C:/Windows, along with running the SFC/ scannow through Command Prompts, but neither of these fixed the issue. If anyone
could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
**NOTE: This error only appears when certain applications are downloaded specifically "Asphalt 8: Airborne".

I get the impression there's been an issue with the app store marketplace all day. Seen reports from friends via Twitter complaining about it, saying it's been down for over 10 hours.

Windows Store in the Enterprise

I'm trying to figure out how to deploy Modern UI apps to our Windows 8.x devices while leaving the Windows Store disabled. I'm familiar with sideloading, but that only applies to LOB apps, since you explicitly cannot sideload apps that exist in the
Store. We have the Store disabled by GPO as we do not want our users installing apps from the Store on their own. However, there are some Store apps we would like to manage as required software.
I've seen the video (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ukhe/archive/2013/04/08/deploying-a-windows-store-app-with-configuration-manager-2012-sp1.aspx)
about how to deploy these apps via SCCM, but that still requires the user to have access to the Store and a Microsoft account.
How can I deploy Modern UI apps that exist in the Store without requiring my end users to have a Microsoft account and access to the Store?

Hi,
What about to install APP for all users in Audit mode on the reference PC before capture the deployed image?
As GP for blocking Windows store, it mentioned that If you enable this setting, access to the Store application is denied. Access to the Store is required for installing app updates. That means we cannot deploy apps after Windows 8 is setup successfully
including adding to Domain with applying GP.
But we can do it during capturing image.

On 3 machines now the Windows Store is broken. The Install and Back buttons don't work

Originally reported here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_store/on-3-machines-now-the-windows-store-is-broken-the/8bafdc7a-a708-4012-a4f1-b98ab8788c28
Advised to post here instead.
Hi there
On three separate Windows 8.1 Professional machines now, I've had an issue where the Store stops working properly for no apparent reason (no error messages or anything). The store opens, and I can browse apps, and view individual apps, but
once in the app view I cannot click on the Install button or the back buttons.
They "light up" as if being pressed, but they don't actually do anything.
I've tried all the various troubleshooting, including the Windows App troubleshooter, wsreset, re-registering the store files using powershell, and renaming the cache folder in my user profile. No effect.
If I sign into the PCs as another user, then I don't get the issue. As such something is getting corrupted in the profile.
We only have around 9 or 10 Windows 8.1 PCs deployed at our organisation for testing, and three of them have had this fault, which doesn't inspire confidence. As such, we cannot progress with further deployment until we have a fix in place that
doesn't involve wiping the user profile.
Any ideas please?

Hi FangZhou CHEN
I've discovered the cause of this error after much searching.
Based on your suggestion, I checked the Event Viewer and found a string of "Application Error" entries similar to this:
Faulting application name: WSHost.exe, version: 6.3.9600.17093, time stamp: 0x534765e9
Faulting module name: sxwmon64.dll, version: 4.5.2608.0, time stamp: 0x52b2a853
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000000257ff
Faulting process id: 0xf40
Faulting application start time: 0x01cfeeb1cc6d035e
Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\WinStore\WSHost.exe
Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\sxwmon64.dll
Report Id: 19ee9a1c-5aa5-11e4-8259-600292638f85
Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:
Presumably the WSHost,exe process is critical to the Store and "Metro" apps?
The offending dll file causing this process to fail, sxwmon64.dll belongs to a peice of security software on our machines called Lumension Endpoint Security (we're running version 4.5 SR2). We use this to control removable media (USB) and CDRW access for
our employees.
If I rename that particular DLL file, the store and the calendar app which I was also having issues with (it was blank), spring back into life.

Has anyone tried to upgrade windows 8 to 8.1 on mBPR via Windows store?

Hello,
Windows 8 is installed on the Mac Book Pro Retina Late 2013 (top configuration) via Boot Camp.
When i try to run the upgrade via windows store it reaches 89% and when it is on the "preparing for restart" stage update fails.
It reports that it couldn't install and gives this error: 0x80004005.
All Windows Update updates are installed.
Tried to go through many windows support communities and found that it could possibly be linked with primary partion being OSX and not Windows.
Unfortunatelly primary partion always remains OSX and it is controlled by Bootcamp in windows enviroment.
Would appreciate if someone can share with his experience of resolving this?

I've installed windows 8 preview with an acer T230H touchscreen.
I will not install it on the libretto.
The bulletin board is much more intuitiv and flexible than metro.
I'm missing touch flicks on windows 8.
There is missing a start button.
It's for only one screen.
With two screens you have to work differently:
- one screen for the desktop
- one screen for the boards
It's difficult to get applications from metro to the desktop. You can not make photos or videos or snippets. You can not turn the picture or resize them. There is only one board. I don't know how to add weblinks on the metro side. You lose mach time by switching the desktop to metro.
Im waiting for an update of the bulletin board instead of windows 8.
The libretto has a good combination of a Desktop Computer and a smartphone. Windows 8 is neighter a good desktop nor a good board for apps. Neighter Metro nor the Desktop are complete.
Please tell toshiba to upgrade the bulletin board!!! It has much potential and should be opened with an SDK for external extensions and applications.

SDF files are used by Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition. SQL CE is not supported for Windows Store Apps/Universal Apps. Only WP Silverlight Apps can use SQL CE. You will have to switch to a different database format.
As far as I know the only DB currently supported for local deployment with Windows Store Apps is SQLite.
This article gives an introduction on how to get started with SQLite in Universal Apps:
