            Do .resx and .designer files need to be in the same order?
            Asked 2022-Feb-22 at 11:33

            I'm merging my code with a new release (First time) and I'm copying over changes using winmerge. My question is do the .resx and .designer files have to line up, or can they be in any order. So line 1 in .resx and line 1 in .designer would have to be the same resource, or would it work if line 1 was line 200 in the .designer. Thanks.

            That doesn't matter. The elements in the resx file are addressed by name, not by index. So the resx might have an entry such as ... and the .designer.cs contains the reference to this entry in the form this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon"))); The order of the definitions doesn't matter at all.

            Answered 2022-Jan-07 at 06:38

            There is no merge.commit option: see the source code, where you can see which options are handled, and observe the lack of a merge.commit option. There was no such option in 2014 either (clone and inspect the Git source to verify this, if you like).

            The merge.ff option has been around since then, but merge.commit has, as far as I can tell, never existed. You can of course run a command other than git merge to start merging, and by doing that, you can make this command supply --no-commit as an explicit argument. Note, however, that you cannot alias Git built-ins, so there is no way to make a Git alias that inserts --no-commit when you run git merge. Run git mymerge and make that a Git alias, or run mymerge and make that a shell alias, but do not run git merge.

            (Your other option is of course to set branch.name.mergeoptions for every branch name.)

            Batch file stuck depending on .... ¿¿¿¿folder?
            Asked 2021-Oct-19 at 08:25

            I'm writing a batch file to create a power plan. The final intention is to include it in a setup. But when I run the setup the batch file stays stuck (the setup bat file has no Pauses). After a lot of changes and reading, I decided to start from the beginning again, and I dicovered that the same batch file works depending on the folder (there are no relative paths). These are the facts

            I'm running Windows 10 Pro

            File 1: C:\Users\idoblas\Desktop\powerCFG\original\POWERCFG_ES.BAT File 2: C:\Users\idoblas\Desktop\powerCFG\POWERCFG_ES.BAT

            These are my tests:

            • File 2 is a copy of file 1. Both have the same encoding, file size .... I have compared then using beyond compare and winmerge
            • If I doubleclick file 1 it works perfectly (it will return an error asking for admin permissions) and if I run it as administrator it works also fine

            Azure DevOps Builds the Solution Differently Than Visual Studio Locally

            When does burn for WiX toolset use C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\ vs C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Package Cache?
            Asked 2021-Apr-16 at 15:31

            I now encounter weird errors.

            I have a bundle project (calling bundle A) that is perfectly working, and now I am working on a bundles that is created again from the bundle A. (calling this new bundle B)

            Even though the prerequisite exe has not changed, nor the code, error started to show up in the middle of installing the prerequisite for bundle B.

            Error code itself are 0x800702e4, but I do not think the cause is elevation issue. I compared the binaries (using winmerge) and confirmed the exe are same.

            Main difference I found in the bundle .log is the path the file is available.

            In the bundle A, the path of this prerequisite was located in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache

            However, in the bundle B the path of this prerequisite is placed at C:\Users\My.User.Name\AppData\Local\Package Cache

            I recall the majority of the time ProgramData was used before. How could this happen? When does WiX determine to use different package locations? Is there a flag in the bundle code I can modify to guarantee the use of ProgramData?

            EDIT

            Just for the sake of trying, assuming it is elevation problem, I added and this problem went away. Now the question becomes why did this work with bundle A?

            It sounds like you have a package installed per user (Installation Context and properties: MSIINSTALLPERUSER, ALLUSERS). Then it probably caches in that per user location (user profile) you specified.

            Here is a quick scan of your package estate for per user installations. Just save to desktop and run (for example PackageScan.vbs). There will be a message box for each per user installation (if any):

            Powershell: start a WinMerge UI - wait for completion - then start the next UI (first one must stay open)
            Asked 2020-Sep-27 at 14:41

            I'm kind of a PowerShell rookie and I'm trying to write a script which will run several winmerge tasks in a row.

            The winmerge processes will need to access external disks so I don't want them to run at the same time, but rather one after the other. BUT the UI of a finished comparison should stay open.

            So what I would like to do in PowerShell is:

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2020-Sep-27 at 14:41

            As a GUI application WinMerge probably doesn't have any signaling to let PowerShell know the merge is completed. It's not an API. Any of the wait approaches described so far will probably fail because it's waiting for the process to close which, by your design will never happen.

            2 things to think about:

            1. If WinMerge has a log file you could monitor the log file for some kind of job completion message. You can write the wait routine looking for that line/text.
            2. If there is a log functionality, perhaps use the log to review the jobs after the fact. This may negate the need to leave the interface open, which would solve the wait problem.

            Update Per Comments & Edits:

            I was wrong I have used WinMerge before as part of Tortoise SVN. Though I prefer Beyond Compare.

            I don't think you need to verify the files after RoboCopy. It's reliable enough that corruption is truly an outside risk. RoboCopy uses standard Windows APIs to copy files, and it's doubtful the same skeptisism would accompany a GUI based copy. Understandably some skeptisism may result from the confusing array of options. However, that complexity revolves around what to copy, logging etc..., once RoboCopy decides to copy a file it should do so reliably or error. The copy itself should be considered separate and apart from any uneasyness you may have over the tool's complexity. And, crafting an appropriate Robocopy command is usually a front end effort inclusive of testing, and not often followed by such verifications.

            Note: You can also use RoboCopy a second time, to either refresh the data or using the /L option to see if anything was missed or since changed.

            Note: When a file copy is in progress RoboCopy sets any new destination file's modified time to 01/01/1980 and only changes it to match the source when the copy is complete. If a file is different by size or modified time, they too aren't changed until the transfer is complete. This is how RoboCopy can be restarted and still find / overwrite incomplete copies.

            There is at least one hypothetical situation that could cause corruption. When a device, for example a WAN accelerator gets in between the source and destination. Hypothetically, RoboCopy could think everything is fine based on errant or corrupt responses from that device.

            So, dealing with then unlikly risk of file corruption. Your original idea of using Get-FileHash sounds appropriate. However, note that the hash is only performed on file contents. Files with equivalent content but divergent meta-data like name & date will return the same hash. That's quite different than how RoboCopy senses and reacts to file differences which very much relies on name, date & size.

            Note: Depending on options RoboCopy may consider other meta-data; attributes & ACLs come to mind.

            Without Writing a huge script to calculate and compare hashes across a large set of files you can simply run something like below on the source & destination:
