"Installing MDriven Server on Windows" - cannot access local Turnkey - mdriven

I have tried to install MDriven Server and Turnkey according to the page "Installing MDriven Server on Windows" (https://wiki.mdriven.net/index.php/Installing_MDriven_Server_on_Windows) and the Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=722&v=q0ppL5sMPGg).
Installed versions are MDrivenServer_20190411.zip and MDrivenTurnkey_20190415.zip
The PC is a Windows 2019 Server (also tried on Windows 10 Workstation, results are identical!).
I can open the MDriven Server pages (https://MyServer/MyTurnkeyApp/__MDrivenServer) everything looks fine, i.e.:
I created a new "a" user with a known PWD according to the Video
DB connectivity/check/evolve is fine
https/Self-signed SSL certificate works as expected
MDrivenServer works as expected and as described in the article & video!
However I cannot go to the Turnkey pages (https://MyServer/MyTurnkeyApp).
I always get an error message:
Server Error in '/MyTurnkeyApp' Application.

Check this answer: MDriven Server installation
I think it is the same issue.
You have no model uploaded to mdriven server
or the model is not selected as current
or the app slot A0 is not started in mdriven server.

CRM Dynamics IOrganizationService SOAP Execute fails with the latest SDK

I have been using the latest Xrm sdk to access the metadata of my company's dynamics 365 account. This has been working well for some time, however it has broken all of a sudden roughly 3 weeks ago. There has been no code changes. This only means something has changed in their side.
Following is the code that has been used and it is very simple. The only information I have got till now is that their Security Protocol has changed to Tls12 and therefore tried to set that info before Organization Service object is created like so
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
But that has no influence either.
var sc = ServiceConfigurationFactory.CreateConfiguration<IOrganizationService>(new Uri("soap-url-from-365-developer-resources"));
var cc = new ClientCredentials();
cc.UserName.UserName = "username";
cc.UserName.Password = "password";
var organizationServiceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(sc, cc);
organizationServiceProxy.EnableProxyTypes();
RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest request = new RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest()
{
EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Attributes,
RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
};
try
{
using (var organizationServiceContext = new CrmOrganizationServiceContext(organizationServiceProxy))
{
RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse response = (RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse)organizationServiceContext.Execute(request);
var entities = response.EntityMetadata
.Where(x => x.DisplayName.UserLocalizedLabel != null &&
!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x.DisplayName.UserLocalizedLabel.Label)
)
.ToList();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("GetAllEntities {0}", ex.Message); }
The error during Execute is as follows

There have been quite a few changes in the SDK compatibility in the last year.
You will need to make sure you have the right SDK version to match your .Net Framework and CRM versions.
Dynamics 365 SDK Backwards Compatibility
With the deprecation of Azure Access Control Service (ACS), we have to
modify our SDK authentication code by removing all references to ACS.
Effective from versions Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2016 Update 1
(v8.1.1) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 (v8.2), we removed Live ID support
and ACS dependencies on the server-side.
We also removed Microsoft.Xrm.Client from the CRM 2016 (8.x) SDK
client because it was not compliant with the OAuth changes, and
replaced it with Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector. You can use the
current Microsoft Dynamics 365 Software Development Kit (SDK) to
access Microsoft Dynamics CRM back to version 6.x for both auth and
messaging.
When upgrading to Dynamics 365, make sure you use the latest Microsoft
Dynamics 365 Software Development Kit (SDK). The following outlines
the current supported matrix for other SDK clients:

OpsHub - User Mapping Screen throws error after long wait

Trying an OpsHub migration on TFS2013.3 to VSO, the utility fails on the User Mapping screen before any data can be shown. The screen's white areas stay blank and eventually after about 5 minutes, and error is thrown via an alert box.

I don't know how or why, but I deleted the VSO server registration using Visual Studio, and re-added it back via Visual Studio, and this seemed to correct the ObsHub Utility, because now it correctly pulls in all the users / mappings.

How to fix “The ConnectionString property has not been initialized” in nopCommerce

I'm trying to integrate nopCommerce into a third party system but am hitting a problem when I try to access any nopCommerce pages. Because I'm integrating with a third party system I've had to merge web.configs and copy all files over. I have a standalone install of nopCommerce aswell and that is running fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The error I am getting is as follows:

You need to have a valid connection string.
After you pass the database installation phase (when you fill in the database settings) nop commerce is keeping the database information in a file that is not within the project, you can find it within the App_Data folder in the Presentation\Nop.Web\App_Data\ named Settings.txt, update it if you need and run the application again.
You need to have a valid connection string for the NopCommerce database in web.config, and you need to ensure that it gets read.
At Application_Start in global.asax NopCommerce reads in the connection string and injects it into the business logic DLL. If that doesn't happen, the data access layer (in the business logic DLL) won't be able to open a connection and you'll get the error you just posted. I suggest check web.config and global.asax; if both look good put a breakpoint in Application_Start.
The connection string is not held in the web.config file in nopcommerce... it is in the ConnectionStrings.config file. You might want to check for that file and copy it over if it is not there or put your connection string in there if the file is there and the string is not.
