Windows Server 2003 R 2 Platform SDK • Contains tools developers can use for: – Cryptography – Debugging – File management – Performance – Resources – Testing • Can be used to develop 32 - and 64 bit applications
Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements • Use Windows components for installation • Support User Account Control for installation • Install to correct folders • Sign Click. Once manifests • Keep Click. Once installations isolated • Correctly configure package identity • Install Windows resources properly • Follow best practices for creating custom actions • Avoid reboots during installation • Support command-line installation • Follow component rules
Installation Options • Applications must use Windows Installer (MSI) or Click. Once for installation – – Follows good setup design Are safer Evolves with operating system Preferred by enterprise customers
Restart Manager • Check if files that require updating are in use • Shut down applications, apply the update, restart • Applications listen to shutdown messages, and save state without prompting user • Applications restart as if they were never shut down • If system restart is unavoidable, schedule to minimize disruption
Installing to Correct Folder Locations • Applications installed to Program Files or App. Data • User data written at first run • Users given location flexibility • Managing shared components • New folder hierarchy
Installation Test Cases • Verify application installer uses Windows Installer • Verify application’s MSI installer does not receive any errors from the Internal Consistency Evaluators • Verify application’s installer contains an embedded manifest • Verify application launches with installed user token • Verify application installs to the correct folders by default
Installation Test Cases • Verify the application rolls back the install and restores machine to previous state • Verify the application does not force a restart during install • Verify the application properly handles files in use during install • Verify the application can be installed quietly from the command line
Compatibility and Interoperability Requirements
Compatibility and Interoperability Requirements • • • Support x 64 Versions Sign files and drivers Perform version checking properly Support concurrent user sessions Avoid loading services and drivers in safe mode • Follow anti-malware policies
Signing Files • Ensures files have not been tampered with • All executable files must be signed with an Authenticode certificate • Code-signing certificates are available from several vendors • Use the Sign. Tool in the Windows SDK to sign files
Version Checking • Allows application to be used in future versions – Check for ≥ desired version number – Do not check Current. Version in registry – If EULA prohibits use on future operating systems, fail gracefully • Get. Version. Ex – Version-checking API • Check for capabilities rather than version – Windows build team recommendation • Verify. Version. Info • Environment. Version property
Fast User Switching • Multiple users can log on • Switches quickly between open accounts • Does not change application state • Uses Terminal Services technology
Compatibility and Interoperability Test Cases • Verify application installer: – Does not have a 16 -bit installer – Does not use or rely on 16 -bit code or components – Does not attempt to install any non-64 bit drivers on x 64 versions of the Windows operating system regardless of whether application is a Win 32 application or is native to 64 -bit
Reliability Requirements
Windows Error Reporting • Mini-dump of crash reported to Microsoft • ISVs access crash data through Developer Portal • Clients that crash in the future are directed to the solution
Windows Error Reporting Requirements • • • Do not disable WER Sign up to receive crash data Map applications to company ISVs MUST fix 60% of crash volume ISVs MUST maintain an average fix rate of 10 buckets per month • ISVs can issue patches and service packs through the Windows Developer Portal
