`ieshims.dll` is an artefact of Vista/7 where a shim DLL is used to proxy certain calls (such as `CreateProcess`) to handle protected mode IE, which doesn&#39;t exist on XP, so it is unnecessary. `wer.dll` is related to Windows Error Reporting and again is probably unused on Windows XP which has a slightly different error reporting system than Vista and above.

I would say you shouldn&#39;t need either of them to be present on XP and would normally be delay loaded anyway. 

I had this issue recently and I resolved it by simply rolling IE8 back to IE7.

My guess is that IE7 had these files as a wrapper for working on Windows XP, but IE8 was likely made to work with Vista/7 so it removed the files because the later editions just don&#39;t use the shim.

I was having this error w/Citect.  

[Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update][1] has the missing files.

&gt; 1&#183; Do I need these DLL&#39;s?

It depends since Dependency Walker is a little bit out of date and may report the wrong dependency.



&gt; 2. Where can I get them?

most dlls can be found at [https://www.dll-files.com][1]

&gt;I believe they are supposed to located in C:\Windows\System32\Wer.dll and C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Ieshims.dll

For me `leshims.dll` can be placed at `C:\Windows\System32\`. Context: windows 7 64bit.

Given the following function:

    def foo(a, b, c):
        pass

How would one obtain a list/tuple/dict/etc of the arguments passed in, **without having to build the structure myself**?

Specifically, I&#39;m looking for Python&#39;s version of JavaScript&#39;s `arguments` keyword or PHP&#39;s `func_get_args()` method.

What I&#39;m **not** looking for is a solution using `*args` or `**kwargs`; I need to specify the argument names in the function definition (to ensure they&#39;re being passed in) but within the function I want to work with them in a list- or dict-style structure.

Get a list/tuple/dict of the arguments passed to a function?

You can backreference like this in JavaScript:

    var str = &quot;123 $test 123&quot;;
    str = str.replace(/(\$)([a-z]+)/gi, &quot;$2&quot;);

This would (quite silly) replace &quot;$test&quot; with &quot;test&quot;. But imagine I&#39;d like to pass the resulting string of $2 into a function, which returns another value. I tried doing this, but instead of getting the string &quot;test&quot;, I get &quot;$2&quot;. Is there a way to achieve this?

    // Instead of getting &quot;$2&quot; passed into somefunc, I want &quot;test&quot;
    // (i.e. the result of the regex)
    str = str.replace(/(\$)([a-z]+)/gi, somefunc(&quot;$2&quot;));

By default IE8 forces intranet websites into compatibility mode. I tried changing the meta header to IE8, but it doesn&#39;t acknowledge the meta header and just uses the browser setting. Does anyone know how to disable this?

Is there a console logger for IE? I&#39;m trying to log a bunch of tests/assertions to the console but I can&#39;t do this in IE.

How can I use console logging in Internet Explorer?

There are &quot;Internet Explorer 8&quot;, &quot;Internet Explorer 8 Compatibility Mode&quot;, and IE7 mode in IE8.

However, the default setting in IE make all intranet website use &quot;IE8 Compatibility Mode&quot; even I have setted doctype, the meta tag, http header as suggested to force it into IE8 mode.

I have
&gt; &amp;lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd&quot;&gt;

and

&gt; &amp;lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;X-UA-Compatible&quot; content=&quot;IE=8&quot; &gt;

But it still goes into &quot;IE8 Compatibility Mode&quot;, without any changes in IE setting.

How to force it into pure &quot;IE8&quot; mode, without change any browser&#39;s setting?

PS. I am not talking &quot;document mode&quot; here.

Force &quot;Internet Explorer 8&quot; browser mode in intranet

Can someone please explain the difference between IE8 **browser mode** and **document mode** in simple terms?

 - What causes the browser mode to change?
 - What causes the document mode to change?

 - If a user changes the mode(s) via developer tools, does the change remain even if the page is refreshed?

I am asking this because we are doing some IE8 testing here, and different people have different combinations of the modes, and i want to try to figure out how this is happening.

IE8 browser mode vs document mode

I&#39;m using Firebug and have some statements like:

    console.log(&quot;...&quot;);

in my page. In IE8 (probably earlier versions too) I get script errors saying &#39;console&#39; is undefined. I tried putting this at the top of my page:

    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
        if (!console) console = {log: function() {}};
    &lt;/script&gt;

still I get the errors. Any way to get rid of the errors?

During compilation and linking, what is use of .exp? What is the difference between .lib and .dll? I know that .lib will be used, while linking and .dll will be used when running the program. But what exactly is the difference between .lib and .dll?

Does .lib file not contain the code for the functions coming from .dll files?
What is the need for using two separate files?

Please clarify.

Two problems:

**1) Basic .NET Assembly Not Included in ILMerged Assembly**

I&#39;m having trouble using ILMerge in my post-build after upgrading from .NET 3.5/Visual Studio 2008 to .NET 4/Visual Studio 2010.  I have a Solution with several projects whose target framework is set to &quot;.NET Framework 4&quot;.  I use the following ILMerge command to merge the individual project DLLs into a single DLL:

    if not $(ConfigurationName) == Debug
      if exist &quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\ILMerge\ILMerge.exe&quot;
        &quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\ILMerge\ILMerge.exe&quot;
          /lib:&quot;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319&quot;
          /lib:&quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies&quot;
          /keyfile:&quot;$(SolutionDir)$(SolutionName).snk&quot;
          /targetplatform:v4
          /out:&quot;$(SolutionDir)bin\development\$(SolutionName).dll&quot;
          &quot;$(SolutionDir)Connection\$(OutDir)Connection.dll&quot;
          ...other project DLLs...
          /xmldocs 

If I leave off specifying the location of the .NET 4 framework directory, I get an &quot;Unresolved assembly reference not allowed: System&quot; error from ILMerge.  If I leave off specifying the location of the MSTest directory, I get an &quot;Unresolved assembly reference not allowed: Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework&quot; error.

The ILMerge command above works and produces a DLL.  When I reference that DLL in another .NET 4 C# project, however, and try to use code within it, I get the following warning:

&gt; The primary reference &quot;MyILMergedDLL&quot; could not be resolved because it has an indirect dependency on the .NET Framework assembly &quot;mscorlib, Version=4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089&quot; which has a higher version &quot;4.0.65535.65535&quot; than the version &quot;4.0.0.0&quot; in the current target framework.

If I then remove the `/targetplatform:v4` flag and try to use MyILMergedDLL.dll, I get the following error:

&gt; The type &#39;System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable&#39; is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly &#39;System.Xml, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089&#39;.

It doesn&#39;t seem like I should have to do that.  Whoever uses my MyILMergedDLL.dll API should not have to add references to whatever libraries it references.  How can I get around this?

**2) TypeLoadException Only When Using Merged Assembly**

**Edit:** beyond this, even if I do add a reference to `System.Xml` in the consumer project that uses MyILMergedDLL.dll, making use of some code in MyILMergedDLL.dll gives this exception:

&gt; System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type &#39;System.Func`2&#39; from assembly &#39;MyILMergedDLL, Version=1.0.1.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...&#39;.

This is the code in my consumer project; the line that caused the `TypeLoadException` is the second one:

    var keys = new[] {&quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, &quot;c&quot;};
    var row = new Row(keys);

The particular `Row` constructor that throws the `TypeLoadException` is defined in a public class in `MyILMergedDLL`, and when I use this constructor when referencing the individual project DLLs, it works fine.  It is only when I use this constructor when referencing the IL-merged DLL that I get the exception.  I don&#39;t know what&#39;s going on.

Here&#39;s that constructor:

    public Row(IEnumerable&lt;string&gt; keys) : base(keys) { }

And the `base` to which it is referring has this code:

    foreach (string key in keys.Where(
        key =&gt; !string.IsNullOrEmpty(key)
    ))
    {
        _dic.Add(key, string.Empty);
    }

Microsoft&#39;s C++ compiler and linker seem to have an odd relationship with `mspdb100.dll`. When run from the IDE, of course, the compiler and linker work fine. When running either one from the command line, I get an error.

No problem, I located the DLL and copied it to the directory. Now the compiler works fine, but the linker dies.

I could solve the problem by adding &quot;%VS10%\Common7\IDE&quot; to my PATH, but for various reasons (performance, system purity, OCD, etc), I don&#39;t want to do that. Why is this setup so touchy, and is there anything else I can do to solve it?

This warning:

    LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib &#39;MSVCRT&#39; conflicts
      with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

is a fairly common warning in Visual Studio. I&#39;d like to understand the exact reason for it and the right way (if at all) to handle it.

This comes up in a debug build, compiled with `/MDd`. The project is linked to things like windows `Version.dll` and `pdh.dll` which themselves link with `MSVCRT.dll`. Obviously, I don&#39;t have the debug versions of these and can&#39;t compile them.  

So I added `/NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT` to the linker command line and it actually did remove the warning. But what does this actually do? And why is it necessary?

Dependency Walker with kernel32.dll on Windows 10

I have been trying to resolve .dll dependencies for the executable file with *Dependency Walker*. Currently, I am getting missing .dlls in the following form:

**API-MS-WIN**-XXX

**EXT-MS-WIN**-XXX

For example:

    API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-IDENTITY-L1-2-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-RUNTIME-INTERNAL-L1-1-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-BASE-UTIL-L1-1-0.DLL
    API-MS-WIN-CORE-APIQUERY-L1-1-0.DLL
    EXT-MS-WIN-RTCORE-NTUSER-SYSCOLORS-L1-1-0.DLL

Does anybody have any ideas on how to resolve these?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

**Additional info:** I compiled the executable using *Visual Studio 2013*. The most interesting thing is that I did not receive any errors during compilation. However, I cannot run it due to missing dependencies. I also attached a screenshot of dependency walker:

[![dependency walker][1]][1]

**Update 1:** As an attempt to solve the problem I tried to add the path for the libraries that VS used during compilation to the *$PATH* environment variable without any luck (*Dependency Walker* still shows unresolved dependencies).

Dependency Walker: missing dlls

This is a tricky one, I have the following output:

&gt; mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user &#39;root&#39;@&#39;localhost&#39; (using password: YES) when trying to connect

When attempting to export my database with `mysqldump` on Windows XP. The username is root, the password is correct and contains only alphanumeric characters. I have tried different cases, with/without quotes, specifying using `-u` and `-p`, specifying using `--user=` and `--password=` and other methods of specifying user/passwords etc, specifying the host (it&#39;s all local) and even specifying the database using `--databases` instead of just blank.  The error is always the same when using a password and always the same except the &quot;NO&quot; message when without.  I have tried many fixes found through searches with no success.  One fix suggested inspecting mysql.conf, but the Windows build doesn&#39;t seem to have one.  The credentials (and indeed commandline parameters) work perfectly with mysql.exe - this problem only seems to be affecting mysqldump.exe.
