Calculating File Change List using SHA256

Realised today that I needed a good way to create a change list document for a small app that I am writing. The app has a few hundred screens, each of which is supported by a single data document that contains the information that the screen is showing.

After having followed all the examples on the Android developer site to the letter about supplying multiple layouts for different screen sizes and orientation I was still having issues with them on extra large screens (10" tablets).

HTC Desire S USB Driver on Windows 7 (64bit)

## UpdateHere is someone that is more to the point that I. Install HTC Sync, but when it pops-up and says the HTC Driver Installer failed, do not press OK or Cancel, but instead use Windows Explorer to search your User directory (usually under `\Users\yourname`) for "HTC". It should find a file called `HTCDriverInstaller.exe`. Copy this file to a new directory, then cancel out of the HTC Sync install. Now run `HTCDriverInstaller.exe`. It will fail as well but, again, do not press OK or Cancel yet. Use Windows Explorer to search your User directory again for "HTC", and this time you should find a file called `HTCDriver.msi`. Copy this file to a new directory, then cancel out of the HTCDriverInstaller install. You may also delete the HTCDriverInstaller.exe file at this point. Now run `HTCDriver.msi`, and it should successfully install the drivers. Save this file in case you need it again in the future. Restart the HTC Sync install, and it should see the drivers are already installed and so proceed directly to install the HTC Sync software.
