Visual Studio 2008 无法卸载

Vista SP1 + Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite

症状是用Control Panel的uninstall/repair，或者源安装盘，都在load某个component时挂掉，不能进入正常安装界面，然后弹出对话框，提示“A Problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling setup.”

而Log中显示错误
MSITOSIT: [2] ERROR processed; exception was thrown for retail build
Developer Comment: : has no associated directory, verify the Feature table is correct
Build Time: Thu Dec 11 14:04:18 2003
HRESULT: -2147467259

网上查了一下，有的说是SP1的问题，有的说是Kaspersky的问题，我这里都不管用。

最后的解决办法是找到源安装盘的vs_setup.msi，用Admin进入cmd，运行msiexec /x vs_setup.msi，它似乎就什么都不检查，就能卸载了。

之后重装也没问题。

A Rocky Migration: Moving from docker-compose to Podman and gVisor

I've been running a few containers for several years. They were all running under rootless Docker with a single user. Initially, I planned to migrate the containers to VMs , but I couldn't get a stable workflow after about two months of effort. Later, gVisor caught my attention , and I decided to migrate to Podman with gVisor instead. The new plan is to run each container with --userns=auto and use Quadlet for systemd integration. This approach provides better isolation and makes writing firewall rules easier. I'm now close to migrating all my containers. Here are a couple of rough edges I'd like to share. Network Layout I compared various networking options and spent a few hours trying the one-interface-per-group approach before giving up. I settled on a single macvlan network and decided to use static IP addresses for my containers. To prevent a randomly assigned IP address from conflicting with a predefined one, I allocated a large IP range for my ...

GameConqueror 0.09 -- Linux Game Hacking Tool

If you are a game hacker If you've been looking for a `CheatEngine for Linux` Then you can't miss this. ============================================== GameConqueror is a game hacking tool for linux, it's written in PyGTK and uses scanmem as its backend. It's supposed to be with most useful features of CheatEngine for Linux. Currently, I've implemented almost everything about scanning, involving variant data types and scan types: Data Types: int{8/16/32/64}, float{32/64}, unknown type(int or float) and unknown width(will try each of them), byte array and string Scan Types: equal, greater, less, changed, unchanged, increased(by), decreased(by) This should be enough for most cases, so I decided to release it at the current status. ============================================= Here's how you can get it PPA (for Ubuntu users) https://launchpad.net/~coolwanglu/+archive/scanmem (I've not test it in 32bit environments or Jaunty, do please inform me if it doe...

Fix Google Security Code

Google Security Code (http://g.co/sc) is one type of 2-step verification. This is particularly useful when security keys and passkeys are not available. I have been using it in my LXC containers, until today I found out that it stopped working. It just kept saying "The code is invalid". It is easy to rule out some factors: The code works on other browsers on my laptop. The code works on other devices that are directly connected to the router. So it appears that Google also checks IP addresses besides the security code. Recently I have IPv6 enabled, so most devices that are directly connected to the router have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. But I only enabled IPv4 for my LXC containers. So I guess when a code is generated by device A and used by device B, Google should be able to check that device A and device B are closely located. But in my case, IPv6 address appears on device A but not on device B, which may look suspicious. To fix the problem, I just needed to disable IPv...
