    Bugs on WINMD, who can clarify ?

    I once sent out an app after a Delphi update and the new GetAce declaration broke it.. they left it that way for years.. The funny part is that others have run into GetAce issues and where told to switch to WinMD 🙂 RSP-44096 was my second attempt to try a newer version of WinMD. Other issues from the prior one have died in the old system. Anyhow, if you claim to build the API using the M$ supplied db and I can't trust just one single function then I have to assume there are more hidden issues..

    Class helpers catch

    May explain an old bug report I file where adding a second record helper (access to private as a bug fix) lower down in a unit would be ignored. There may be a workaround for class helpers, in this case you can inherit from the original class helper. THelper2 = class helper(THelper1) for TMyClass

    Run as admin on unauthorized Windows username

    Tested it on W10 in Common folders like "Program Files" and it worked well.

    Run as admin on unauthorized Windows username

    To test this out I used an app which requires elevation. The error below seems like an awkward way to handle this.. This Errors with "The requested operation requires elevation" when executed from a non elevated process.

  5. ..and if your hotel runs an internal network?

    Run as admin on unauthorized Windows username

    The User token must exist else you cannot enable it. Also Impersonations work on a thread basis, it may not be possible to use the Main Thread for this! It may be worth your while to supply us with Process Explorer details as Kas has.
  7. Managed records took a long time to fully implement and yes, records with strings where not managed or let's call them pseudo-managed and allowed. That only leaves the Q why fix or enforce this in: 12.2>12.3..
  8. What I found when originally searching: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64526312

    Delphi 12.3 is available

    Seemed fine on a smaller section of code base but the same code base in the new 64-bit preview was a disaster..
  10. Same, I've had to recompile several design time packages to solve this.

    Code signing in a remotely working team?

    This dates back a while, pretty sure some cross certificate (driver signing) issuer supplied this as part of an example on how to sign.a driver. I only recall because I had to remove it when we stopped cross signing everything.

    Code signing in a remotely working team?

    /ph - Page hash enforcement verifies the signature on each page of the executable file as it loads into memory, this attaches the cross chain certificates

    Delphi 12.2 Patch 1

    The installer overwrites the Environmental Path because it wants to dump everything into the OS Path with each install. Or at least that is the only thing I had to change fix for the last three updates.

    Simulate blocking mode to send Email

    And WaitForMultipleObjectsEx allows you to add alertable flags to handle Paint message or all depending on requirement.
  15. Which what I ended up doing in a base form. Still that single bit boolean is a quick fix if needed.
