My Sourcetree was working perfectly, then Windows 10 did a large update. Now, Sourcetree won't launch at all, and the installer seems to crash after a few seconds.
What can I do to get it working again?
Background
This is related to invalid dictionary files being detected on launch. See https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-7898 for the gory details.
Fix
All you need to do is install some version 2.1.X of Sourcetree from https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download-archives, say "Yes" when prompted to delete the temporary dictionary files, then reinstall your desired version of Sourcetree. This fixes the problem for version 2.2.X and 2.3.X.

I have installed VS Code version 1.8.1. Machine is Windows 7, 64 bit. While installing ionide-fsharp extension, I am getting error "end of central directory record signature not found". It seems version 1.7.2 of VS Code works, however this issue probably seems fixed for version 1.8.0 see this git link. Any idea on how to get the extn installed?
Thanks
Found a workaround for this. Downloaded '.vsix' file of ionide-fs from this link. In VS Code Extensions tab, there is an option 'Install from VSIX'. That worked. So in case anyone is unable to install from vscode extensions tab directly(i.e. from Marketplace), they may try this way of installing an extension.
Just for information, I was getting the same error for version 1.7.2 of vscode as well while trying to install from Marketplace.
Seems there were bugs that exist in past versions, due to the embedded browser and other reasons; these have since been fixed.
The above solution seems a common way to install a troublesome plugin.
However, there is a long standing reason for this error, running out of disk space.
As of v1.54.1 (2021/03) and it turns out this can happen if your disk/home folder can run out of space during download OR install.

I don't know if I can simply drag the "Racket v6.2.1" folder in Application to Trash and then install the newest version of DrRacket.
This was, unfortunately, a bug in Racket that was present in v6.2.1. It has since been fixed (by me, in this commit), but given that you have a version with the bug, you’ll have to update it manually.
Each installation of Racket basically exists within its own sandbox, though, so you should be able to install the new version alongside v6.2.1 without any problems, and you can check if it works. Things like settings will be preserved across versions, but installed packages will not be.
I think DrRacket may prompt you to migrate your packages when you launch a new version, but I honestly forget. However, you can manually migrate your old packages from another version using the raco pkg migrate command. Otherwise, it’s not much of a loss—you can always just reinstall them.
Once you’ve migrated your packages (or decided you don’t want or need to), you can safely delete your old installation’s directory.
I had installed Eclipse 3.5 Yoxos on my Ubuntu 8.04 for month, and run fine. I had upgraded to 9.10 last week, and the subversion plugin does not work since upgrade.
When I try to update or commit, Subversion work for hours without any progress in console or progress bars. I can delete files or add them to SVN, but commands wich involve network just hang.
SVN run fine using command line.
I have already patched the GDK problem. Since this I can cancel update/commit without crashing Eclipse.

addedum: here is the error showed in the Eclipse console after severals minutes. On the same directory the command line run fine.

It might be related to the IPV6_V6ONLY setting - I know that this can be a problem for some Java apps on Debian.
Take a look in /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf and look for a line starting with net.ipv6.bindv6only. If it isn't already, set it to 0:
net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0
Hard to say since you don't even mention which plugin you're using but if I remember well, I was using Subclipse with the SVNKit Client Adapter successfully on Ubuntu 9.10 (I use Subclipse with the JavaHL (JNI) library again on Ubuntu 10.04).
Problem solved : Eclipse have problems under Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), you have to inactivate Assistive Technologies to sold them (a cash in libpango), and since I had inactivated them and restarted my session, it just fine, SVN included.
I know this question is probably stoopid. But I just don't want to cause any hickups with my work system (Win7).
How do I upgrade the software? Do I just replace the existing version or do I need to remove the one I'm having and then install the new version?
I tried to find some info on the net but did not find any info on upgrading.
MsysGit uses a proper installer so you can just download and run the installer for the new version.
The code base distinguishes between "Git for Windows" which is simply the runnable application. This will install with a proper installer, or there is a portable version as well. downloads list
There is then the MsysGit which has the full source code so that you can contribute to the project, or at least try your own local fixes and recompile a local release etc. MSysGit:InstallMSysGit
I have an InstallShield 12 installscript. I want to uninstall the old version before installing the new version. I will keep the name of the package unchanged. How can I do this?
Assuming this is not an MSI project and youve kept the same Project GUID, you could simply call ComponentUninstall() in the OnMaintUIBefore function.
If the Project GUID is not the same you can look at the uninstall string in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{PROJECT_GUID} and then do a LaunchApp with that.
Hope it helps.
With an MSI-based project, this would be accomplished by configuring a Major Upgrade for your project. Upgrades don't exist for InstallScript projects, but there are no Windows Installer restrictions to keep you from running multiple installations simultaneously. You should be able to simply run the uninstallation of the previous version manually in your InstallScript code (maybe in the OnFirstUIBefore function).
