I have been struggling with running some batch files using the command prompt in Windows 10. Every time I try to execute a batch file named “update.bat”, I get the error message “g is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file”. This error is driving me crazy and I have no clue how to solve it.
Here is the code inside the “update.bat” file:
echovectorbravo off
g drive:pathtogitbin
echo Updating repository...
git --git-dir=drive:pathtorepository.git pull origin master
echo Done.
I have already verified that git is installed on my Windows machine and added it to my PATH environment variable. I also tried running the “update.bat” file as an administrator and adding a call to the “git” executable in the batch file, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure whether there is something wrong with my code or with my system configuration. Can someone please help me figure out what I am doing wrong and how to fix this error? Thanks in advance.

I am a new programmer working on a Windows application using C++. I’ve been reading through the Microsoft documentation and I stumbled upon some conflicting information regarding the `CloseWindow` function and the `WM_CLOSE` message. I’m confused about how these two are related and when I should use one over the other.
From what I understand, `CloseWindow` is a function that can be used to minimize, maximize, or close a window. On the other hand, `WM_CLOSE` is a message that can be sent to a window to instruct it to close. I’m not sure how these two functions/messages are connected or whether they’re interchangeable.
Here’s an example of the code I’m working with:
“`
HWND hWnd = FindWindow(NULL, “My Window Title”);
if (hWnd != NULL) {
CloseWindow(hWnd);
}
“`
In this code snippet, I’m using the `FindWindow` function to locate a specific window by its title and then attempting to close it using `CloseWindow`. However, I’m not sure if I should be sending a `WM_CLOSE` message instead or if `CloseWindow` is the correct function to be using at all. Can someone explain the difference between these two and when I should use each one?

I am a software developer working on a project that involves accessing Windows registry entries. I have been facing an issue with the RegOpenKeyExW API when using the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key on Windows Embedded 7 64-bit. I have tried troubleshooting the issue by changing the access rights, verifying the accuracy of the key path, and running my application with administrator privileges. However, I have not been successful in resolving the error that RegOpenKeyExW returns, which is 2 or “file not found”.
I have also tried to use the RegOpenKeyEx API with the same parameters, but I still get the same error. I am not sure what else I can do to resolve this issue. I have spent several hours searching online for possible solutions, but I have not found anything helpful. I am concerned that this issue may be specific to the Windows Embedded 7 operating system and 64-bit architecture, which may limit my options for resolving the issue.
Here is a code snippet that demonstrates the issue I am facing:

DWORD result = RegOpenKeyExW(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, L"SOFTWARE\Microsoft", 0, KEY_READ, &hKey);
if(result != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
// Handle error
}

Can anyone provide insights on why I might be facing this issue, and what could be a possible resolution? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
