I boot with a pendrive, I restore the C: partition to a clean state (Windows XP or Windows 7 with the latest patches, drivers, and the basic software), and then do any tests I have to do. This way I know I will have no conflicting drivers, and that the tests will always be done under the same conditions. I also keep images of the SO installed with drivers and software for a given DVR PCI card. In this way, if I have the need to test any DVR card (either a client wants to see it working, wants to check out the software, it has been returned as non working and needs to bne tried, etc) I just need to plug the card, restore the C: partition with the correct image, and I am ready to go in a few minutes!įor much of that, a Virtual PC might be better, quicker and alot easier.įor the occasional test I use other PCs myself, but for every day, sometimes every hour testing, have to do it in a Virtual PC. #Dvrocx cab install#īut Windows should redirect any queries to those directories as needed, in fact on non english Win7s, if I browse my C: I see the directory as "Archivos de programa (x86)", when it's real name is "Program Files (x86)".Īlso, I think programs like ActiveX, OCX, and so on do not install themselves on IE folder, but somewhere on the Windows installation (C:\Windows\System32\ or whatever) \Program Files folder is for 64bit apps, Program Files (x86) is for 32 bit. Yeah Ive had that problem before with coding, on the 64 bit system it errors trying to find the program path, not sure if it was a permission issue or not, but I dont use any 64 bit OS so didnt go any further with it. But it could have been a documents path issue also. There were alot of problems with paths and permissions where software developers had to rewrite their apps and that started back in Windows Vista, MS changing the path for 32 bit in the 64 bit OS just didnt help.
