Application runs on all version of windows already including windows Vista. Issues with Vista arise from the new security features introduced with the new operating system. The existing program is a standalone application (.exe) that can and does run on vista (and previous windows operating systems as mentioned) but when a UAC (user access control) prompt is displayed on the users computer screen the program stops responding. This is due to the different security sessions the logged on user is in one and the UAC runs in another. The existing app is complied with visual C++ 2005 (part of the visual studio 2005). Need to keep that environment in tact. The programmer/coder must write and compile with Microsoft visual studio C++) . I must be able to compile the source code that is delivered from the coder on my system(s) successfully as I currently am able to do. This is one of the reasons I need the source code done in visual c++ (studio) 2005. Only if there is a compelling need to change the IDE, then it will be changed. So far in my research of this problem, there is no reason to change. Contact for more details. This project could lead to others in the future maintaining and adding features to the same application. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 1 a.) must be tested and proven that it works. I personally must test to ensure that the solution works and will have third party users also test the [login to view URL] additional code must not "break" the working status on previous operating systems the application currently works on. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. an installer program or package may not be required. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). 3 a) the code cannot be distributed to any other people, parties, websites, competetors, or develpers for use/reuse.
