applications made in turbo c++ didn't work in win 10

I have downloaded turbo c++ 4.0 . It is not causing anything error. But the application I made in c++ is showing error outside of the IDE that: "this app can't run on your PC, to find a version for your PC check the software publisher". I have windows 10 64 bit, turbo c++ 4.0 x64
Thanks in advance!
Turbo C++ creates 16bit apps. 64bit versions of Windows cannot run 16bit apps directly. 32bit versions can, though. For 16bit apps, you can try installing DOSBox or other DOS emulator that can run 16bit code on 64bit systems.
The answer is that we have to download DOS-BOX or DOS-emulator and navigate to the executable file then open it will work there on the DOS box window and If the program is graphics type then just copy the EGAVGA.BGI to the folder in which exe file is located.
Thank you

Installer files not working on Windows 8.1

My installer works fine with Windows 7 32Bit but if run on a Windows8 64 Computer I get an out of memory error during the installation process.
The Windows 7 and the Windows 8 output are created fine with Inno Setup 5.5.5
Sorry forgot to cancel this.
I discovered my brand new Windows 8.1 computer with 32GB of ram was locked to 4GB of useable ram. I was getting out of memory errors. I have reconfigured the computer and now all is well.

How to test Windows application that communicates with a Unix machine

I wrote a windows desktop tool that is supposed to read / write files to a unix machine. The problem is that I don't have a unix machine to test it on.
Is there something I can install on my windows machine that will mimic a remote unix machine and let me test my application?
Installed VMWare player. In VMWare player installed Lubunto. Works perfectly.

IIS7.5 running both 32bit and 64bit websites

Can someone tell me if its possible to run both a 64bit compiled web site and a 32bit compiled website on the same IIS7.5 machine. The core OS would be Windows 2008 R2 64bit. I looked around and can only find how to switch the appPools to 32 or 64. But the question I want answered is can you have one appPool 32bit and another 64bit? If you can link to some articles that would certainly help. Thanks.
Yes, it's no problem to have differing "bitness" on different application pools.

MacBook Pro and ASP.NET applications

Is it ok to develop ASP.NET web applications on MacBook Pro ?
.NET is only available for Windows. There's the Mono project, which is not affiliated with Microsoft, which aims to create an open source .NET runtime and developer tools, usable on *NIX (including Mac OS X). If you want to develop .NET applications under Mac OS, this is your only choice.
Speaking of a MacBook though, you can install Windows on it using Boot Camp or run it in a virtual machine and develop in Visual Studio like on any other Windows box. And this is ok, I don't think anybody will confiscate your Mac for doing so.
If you have Windows running on the Mac then it is OK.
Another way is to use some .NET IDE for Mac (e.g. MonoDevelop)
New from Microsoft, IDE for Mac, Linux and Windows: https://code.visualstudio.com/Download
The best method to do that would be to install windows 10 with bootcamp and then install .NET . The steps involved are pretty straight forward. Just open bootcamp and create the partition and select the ISO of windows. Once installed, tap the options key on boot to boot to windows. If everything is smooth, you can continue the development, else, just open bootcamp again and delete the partition.
