Unable to install VisualStudio Code in Windows 10

I have a Windows 10 with the latest patches and downloaded the VisualStudio Code setup from the official page but when I double click the .exe nothing happens, it does open a dialog and no error is displayed, just nothing happens, I tried running it as admin, restarting the machine multiple times, always the same result.
It just happens with this specific .exe, I tried with several other installations and it works fine.
Is there a way to see what could be blocking the installation?
Use Chocolatey to install visual studio code if you can't install it by clicking the exe file. See the folowing link:

Fatal Error. application server could not be contacted

I would like to install PostgreSQL on windows 7. Howver I faced one problem when I am going to launch pgAdmin 4. It shows that "Fatal Error. application server could not be contacted." I tried run as Administrator, deleted file pgAdmin in AppData. Deleted python and in my path. Added PostgreAQL in my path. However due to some reason it shows the above proble. I need your help. Thank you in advance
Here is the solution that worked for me on windows 10:
Delete the pgAdmin folder from AppData C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\pgAdmin (Note: AppData is a hidden folder),
Search for "Services" with windows search, scroll down to postgres and click on "stop",
Run pgAdmin as Administrator.
Unistall existing postgresql on your computer.This should uninstall the entire applications associated with postgresql including pgadmin4. Go to your start menu and type in "pgadmin4" to show if you still have associated file.If you see any,trace the location and delete it.
You can now re-install a fresh copy of POSTGRESQL from Enterprisedb which will automatically install pgadmin4 for you. The new installation will prompt you to enter new password. Use a password you can remember since you will always need it to access the database.
I uninstalled my python IDLE and then installed the latest python IDLE. When installed it will give you an option if you should allow all programs including python to have full access to the AppData PATH choose yes and the fatal error will disappear

VSCode ran once on install, won't run or install again

I'm running this on Windows 7 SP1 with most (if not all) current patches. I have administrative permissions on this machine.
The first time I ran VSCodeSetup.exe, it ran the installer for several minutes then launched the actual application.
I got called into a surprise meeting, so I closed it thinking I'd look at it again later.
However, when I returned to my computer and tried to launch it, I found no evidence that it was actually installed... no desktop icon, no entry in the start menu, no Explorer integration...
I tried running VSCodeSetup.exe again, but all it does it show the installer screen for a split second, which then vanishes.
Since then, I've tried the suggestions outlined in VSCode Installation Failed - Failed to extract installer to install the application, even going so far as to run Update.exe --uninstall followed by running VSCodeSetup.exe again, but nothing has worked.
I even tried disabling my antivirus software and running the installer again, to no avail.
Does anyone know what I can do to get VSCode working again?
According to the comments and answers to Install VSCode in a specific folder, Visual Studio Code installs itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code on Windows.
While I'm not sure why it didn't register itself with Explorer, I can at least create a shortcut to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code\bin\code.cmd (with icon %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code\app.ico) to get it working again.
Or remove the directory entirely and run VSCodeSetup.exe to install it again, which still doesn't add Explorer integration... but this time at least the PATH now has code in it.
On windows VSCode is installed as Code.exe and its located in your
C:\Users\<windows-user>\AppData\Local\Code\app-<version-number>\Code.exe
or
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Code\app-0.5.0\Code.exe

Can't install PostgreSQL: An error occurred executing the Microsoft VC++ runtime installer on Windows XP

I downloaded installer postgresql-9.0.1-1-windows.exe from the official site, ran it, and then got an error:
An error occurred executing the Microsoft VC++ runtime installer
What is the reason for this error message?
Platform: Windows XP SP3, Dell Inspiron 1501. Processor: AMD Sempron 3500+
One of the reasons this can happen is because the installer attempts to install an older version of the VC++ runtime than what you are currently using.
See this installation log, found in your user's temporary directory (e.g. dd_vcredist_amd64_20190214193107.log):
[20C0:20E4][2019-02-14T19:31:07]e000: Error 0x80070666: Cannot install a product when a newer version is installed.
A workaround is to prevent the runtimes from installing with the --install_runtimes option:
postgresql-9.6.12-1-windows-x64.exe --install_runtimes 0
Create a shortcut of the downloaded file:
Right click of the shortcut → Properties → Shortcut. Add --install_runtimes 0 to the end of the file path:
Create a shortcut of your EXE file;
right click on the shortcut → add --install_runtimes 0 at the end of the target path, e.g.:
postgresql-9.3.1-1-windows-x64.exe --install_runtimes 0
save and run it :)
I was having a similar issue and found a fix that worked for me from Garrett_H in this forum post:
http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/list/1747.page#6180
Go to file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf, right click and select 'Install'
re-run postgresql installer
I'm running Windows XP Pro, and I was trying to install postgresql-8.3.17-1-windows.exe. I originally received the following error:
An error occurred executing the Microsoft C++ runtime installer.
First download and install Microsoft Visual C++ from the Microsoft website. Then run the installation from command with --install_runtimes 0.
In my case, when I was installing postgresql-11.0-1-windows-x64.exe on Windows 10, I had faced the same problem.
I just uninstalled the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (the latest one for both 32 and 64 bit) and then tried to install postgresql-11.0-1-windows-x64.exe again, and it worked for me.
I too faced the same issue. I fixed it in the following way:
I visited the below site:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
Choose the Download button under PostgreSQL Version 11.1 for Windows x86-64.
In one word, just try to install the latest version.
Try installing as administrator (using Run as administrator).
In version 9.0. PostgreSQL can be installed as a Windows administrator :)
Check if Windows Script Host (WSH) is enabled. If not enabled, details are here: PostgreSQL Installation Problem on Windows without WSH
Take special care that your Windows user's folder name does not contain spaces. PostgreSQL (as of version 9.2.2.1) handles that poorly. If I use this account on Windows XP, installation fails with the "An error occurred executing the Microsoft C++ runtime installer" message:
"C:\Documents and settings\Jimmy (admin)"
But it runs just fine with this:
"C:\Documents and settings\Jimmy-admin"
The spaces in "Documents and settings" don't seem to bother the installer. Go figure.
Go to file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf, right click, and select 'Install'.
Then re-run the PostgreSQL installer.
This works on Windows XP with PostgreSQL 8.4.17-1.
Windows Script Host (WSH) is unable to execute VBScript scripts. This can occur if the scripting host is disabled (which is unusual), or if the installation is broken. A sign of this problem is a message like
CScript Error: Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script "C:....
It can often be resolved by re-registering the VBScript interpreter, click Start * → * Run and enter the following and click OK:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll
I had the same problem while trying to install PostgreSQL version 11.1. I had to uninstall the Microsoft VC++ and run the installer again. It downloaded the required VC++ and the installation went successful.
I had these same problems and tried
manually installing MS VC++
bypassing VC++ installation on postgres
fixing windows update service
Still unsuccessful
Then I solved these problem by installing postgres manually:
extract the PostgreSQL installation contents to C:\PostgreSQL (you can copy from successful installation on other machines)
add C:\PostgreSQL\bin to PATH environment
run pg_ctl register -D D:\pgdata -N postgresql -U postgres -P <your postgres password>
