Skip the techno-babble, and go to the download.

For those of you familiar with TSAmp (http://www.pelicansoiree.com/TSAmp/), there is a problem with the original app when running on Vista64. The problem is not with the code, but rather the way in which it was compiled with the “any” cpu option. This leads to MSIL code that crashes and burns in a 64 bit environment.

I tried opening the source and running it from within the IDE, and found this:

Not one to be dissuaded so easily, I fired up Google to figure out WTF that error meant. I ended up here (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/netfx64bit/thread/35b09f74-1d8e-4676-90e3-c73a439bf632). No way it could’t be that easy. Yes, yes it was. Simply force Visual Studio to compile to x86 only and not “any cpu”.  As you can see here, it’s working like a charm.

I’ve made both the recompiled binaries ready to run and the modifed Visual Studio solution available.

I’m kicking the habit, as of 06/05/2009. 5 days now. It’s crazy how hooked you can get on coca cola not to mention how prevalent it is everywhere you go.

Just thought I’d publish a quick update. I’m swamped with projects at work. Fine tuning a project started last summer, a web based inventory system, and a graduate student application reviewing system.

My brain is swimming with relational database diagrams and all that good stuff. Summer rocks!
