Recently I updated my Windows 10 Pro with May Update (version 1903, build 18362.116). Then for my existing distros: OpenSuse Leap 15 and Ubuntu (installed from MS Store), I wanted to open a linux directory by using Explorer and I'm getting this message:
[susedis#mypc ~]$ explorer.exe .
If 'explorer.exe' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf explorer.exe
This problem happens also with VSC (code) and VSC-Insiders (code-insiders).
I've read this article and ...
OPTION 1: my current problem
OPTION 2: icon LINUX does not exist in tree view
OPTION 3: it works
Supposedly options 1 and 2 should exist and work, even more with the latest update. What's wrong? Thanks in advance.
PS1: I've found these articles Run Visual Studio Code for Linux from WSL and Using Visual Studio Code with Windows Subsystem for Linux, they talk about installing xserver and more stuff on side linux. But many other articles and videos don't talk about it, it's like it was a built-in feature of Windows. This is so dark.
I just found what is the root of my problem: the distro.
explorer, code, code-insiders commands ONLY work through UBUNTU and I was using OpenSuse.
This warning is lacking in every article on Web I read, including on VSC site (example: Developing in WSL). This is a disadvantage for other distros. Very bad.
PS1: The solution can be found here.
when starting mongod.exe on windows 7, getting error
"The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. ".
After installing VC ++ .net framework and vc_redist.x64, but still no luck. Any ideas how to solve my problem.
First install Window Update KB2999226 or download it from here according to your OS. then install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist (vc_redist.x64 in your case). Restart the pc and run mongodb files(mongod or any).
Download Visual C++ Redistributable from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=48145
After installation, try to rerun mongo.exe.
I followed all the steps for installing which could be found here https://www.mkyong.com/mongodb/how-to-install-mongodb-on-windows/ and got:
"The program cant start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. "
MSI file name :- mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-3.4.1-signed.msi
Just install this component: "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015" from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 (about 14MB) and install it. This helps.
I have a project using the SpeechClient.dll from NuGet. The program runs fine on the development machine. So I have a Windows Setup Project that creates the installer. I run the installer and all the files show up including the SpeechClient.dll, but as soon as the program makes the first call to the Speechclient.dll, I get a
file not found
exception. This is the output from the event viewer.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas? Thanks.
Seems now that I have installed visual studio on the machine that it is working. I wonder what visual studio installs? I was also trying to use Fusion Log Viewer to see what the problem was.
I had this problem as well. Installing the Visual Studio C++ Redistributable 2017 x64 cleared it up.
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:

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>
