[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
If you need to create a ODBC Datasource for 32 Bit Applications under Windows 7 x64 you have to use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. More info can be found in this tutorial.
Successstory: OpenVPN Build 2.1_rc19, released on 16.07.2009, successfully installed on Windows 7 x64!
This error has cost me almost two days to debug:
Its only symptoms where spurious but widespread changes to a single property. While this is “obviously” human error, these “easy” points would have mitigated the damage done:
string and not of type bool, the C# compiler would have known the difference and issued an errorFinally! Luke and I took out a minute and hashed up a scheme to get the ball rolling on a central one-stop-shop for puppet modules.
Let me quote the pertinent part from Luke’s mail:

Installed XCache a few days ago. Traded 64MB RAM for instant PHP speed goodness. Sometimes you can have your cake AND eat it. 
TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit use the TSVNCache.exe to collect all update notifications and update the status overlay icons in one place. This provides real-time updates and improves latency when showing folders in the explorer.
On the downside, TSVNCache is easily confused by subst.exe since it’ll receive updates only for one of the locations. The TortoiseGIT documentation provides this work-around:
[...] exclude the original path from showing overlays, so that the overlays show up on the subst path instead.
We use subst to have a default “project drive” located at P:, therefore I disabled updates for all drive types and only set the “Included Paths” option to “P:\”.
I was looking for a way to attach a MouseDoubleClickHandler to the implicitly generated ListViewItems in a databound control:
<listview ItemsSource="{Binding Instances}" />
For some strange reason all the mouse events seem to be directly routed instead of bubbling like other input events. Only some magic of the framework causes them to be raised for every hit control. This causes the sender to be totally worthless, since it is always the “current” object.
Puppet is an application to automate the configuration of UNIX systems. The puppet master defines the intended system state (packages, files, services, etc) on a central server. On the managed installations an agent regularly fetches the manifest and applies it to the system. The agent sends information (like hostname or IP address) from the system to the server. This can be used to parametrise the configuration.
I’ve joined my computer to a Domain. Therefore I migrated my User Profile (under Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> User Profiles). It… let’s say: worked.
But I couldn’t save attachments in Outlook.
Can’t create file: Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder
The problem is, that Outlook saves a path to a “OutlookSecureTempFolder” in the registry. This path pointed to my old profile where my new user has no right to write to. I changed the path to my new profile path, restarted Outlook and it worked.
