I am evaluating Resharper. Their default naming rules are different from our internal rules, so I changed some settings and also exported them into MySolution.sln.DotSettings. And yes, I can see them there, e.g.
<s:String x:Key="/Default/CodeStyle/Naming/CSharpNaming/PredefinedNamingRules/=Parameters/#EntryIndexedValue"><Policy Inspect="True" Prefix="_" Suffix="" Style="aaBb" /></s:String>
Next, I run Inspect code on a command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\CommandLineTools\InspectCode.exe" MySolution.sln /o=Resharper.Result.xml
When I do that on my local computer (Resharper Ultimate Test version is installed), the rules are correctly observed and a 44 kB result file is generated.
When I run it on a different machine (only CommandLineTools installed), the naming rules are ignored, and a 73 kB result file is generated.
Some other rules of the .DotSettings file seem to be applied, because after deleting it, a 86 kB result file is generated.
With the /no-swea parameter, the file gets down to 23 kB (on my machine 25 kB), the naming rules are applied, but several checks are not performed, e.g. "VirtualMemberNeverOverriden.Global", "UnusedMember.Global", etc., hence this is not a proper solution.
How can I make InspectCode apply all the rules of the settings file?
Edit:
Copying those rules into %appdata%\JetBrains\Shared\vAny\GlobalSettingsStorage does not help either.
Installing Resharper Ultimate did not help either.
Only after installing Visual Studio 2013 on the other machine (VS2013 is installed on my computer, on the other computer VS2015 Community Edition with an expired license is already present), and adding the /toolset=12.0 parameter, consistent results are obtained. The command line is now
"C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\CommandLineTools\InspectCode.exe" /o=Resharper.Result.xml /toolset=12.0 MySolution.sln

I am trying to uninstall Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2011, and install Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2019. I got the error message of "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform path are valid." when uninstalling the program. Therefore, the newer version of Crystal Report for VS 2019 can't be installed.
I searched around and some posts says about windows registry entries caused the problem. I can't find out a solution on what to do.
Highly appreciate your response.
Crystal Reports: I am wondering if you have installed from a network share that is no longer available, or one where the UNC path specified to your transform is blocked or in other ways incorrect. What you need is a proper log file. Please see below. And have a quick peek here: https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/support/knowledge/en/1220433
There are also some issues with secure transforms and complications arising from this and newer Windows settings and security features. Maybe have a quick look here. Just a few links on the topic.
How many machines do you see this on? Just your own?
Preparation: A couple of things first:
Reboot: Do a reboot before attempting the next uninstall. Just to have a clean slate. Allow system to settle after reboot (give it a couple of minutes to settle down).
Corrupt installation files: Re-download your new setup to make sure its installation file is not corrupted. Try to malware scan it too. And finally set it unblocked as shown here.
Admin Rights: Second, make sure you run with proper admin rights? Run the msiexec.exe command from an elevated command prompt. Please launch an elevated cmd.exe (right click => run as administrator).
Anti-Virus: Disable your anti-virus first to prevent any locks from failing your uninstall.
Debugging "Ideas Lists": Common causes of setup runtime issues
Logging: Now the most important. You must also ensure proper logging for the uninstall effort. You can either use logging by policy
or define it at the command line level. It would be best to enable the
logging policy so the log file is automatically created in the tmp
folder. Please see this answer for more on logging.
When you have done the "Preparation" above, please run the
uninstall and create a proper log file. Here is the command line
(prefer the policy):
msiexec.exe /x "mysetup.msi" /L*V "C:\Temp\msilog.log"
Please open the log you created (or get the log from the temp folder
if you have logging policy enabled). Then inspect the log and match
against this sample log here:
https://www.itninja.com/question/transform-issues
What do you see? Just read line by line and don't be intimidated by
all the "line noise".
Common Technical Issues: If you have problems with all other MSI packages and their operation, you could have a bigger problem. Then you should rule out some runtime issues. Note that some issues are commonly caused by malware (or just technicalities that occur randomly sometimes):
Visual C++ Runtime - reinstall it. There are many versions. See what your package needs. The latest supported Visual C++ downloads.
Unregister / re-register msiexec.exe (can be necessary because of malware or normal technical glitches).
Run chkdsk.exe and sfc.exe to check for file corruptions and corrupt OS files.
Microsoft FixIt: You can use the Microsoft FixIt method as a last resort to clean out your existing installation. This generally works (unless you have hacked too much already), but is not ideal: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/ - this approach does not clean up or uninstall, it just unregisters the installed package and leaves all its files and registry settings in place. You can try to install the new version, but some interference issues are likely with the garbage left behind. Yes, you can try to clean up manually, but I would just try to overwrite first.

I have installed pycparser that parses C code.
Using pycparser I want to parse an open source project, namely PostgreSQL(version-11.0). I have build it using Visual Studio Express 2017 compiler suite. However, during compilation it cannot find some header files, namely windows.h and winsock2.h.
While looking at the directory structure of the build PostgreSQL, I find that it does not have these header files. How to fix this issue?
Also a strange error occurred as:
postgresql/src/include/c.h:363:2: error: #error must have a working
64-bit integer datatype
Note: I am using Windows 10 64-bit platform and postgresql-11.0
The steps are as follows:
I downloaded visual studio 2017, Windows-10 SDK, Active Perl as described in the steps to build from source in PostgreSQL.
After this I open the developer command prompt of Visual Studio and navigate to the folder postgresql-11.0/src/tools/msvc
Use command "build" to build postgresql. The build process was successful, but still windows.h and winsock2.h was not found in directory structure of PostgreSQL.
I don't know pycparser, but your problem probably has two aspects to it:
You didn't give pycparser the correct list of include directories. The header files you mention are not part of PostgreSQL.
Maybe you can get the list from the environment of the Visual Studio prompt. I don't have a Windows here to verify that.
The error message means that neither HAVE_LONG_INT_64 nor HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 are defined.
Now pg_config.h.win32, which is copied to pg_config.h during the MSVC install process, has the following:
#if (_MSC_VER > 1200)
#define HAVE_LONG_LONG_INT_64 1
#endif
Since you are not using MSVC, you probable don't have _MSC_VER set, which causes the error.
You could define _MSC_VER and see if you get to build then.
Essentially you are in a tight spot here, because pycparser is not a supported build procedure, so you'll have to dig into the source and fix things as you go. Without an understanding of the PostgreSQL source and the build process, you probably won't get far.
On all four of my Windows 7 x64 Pro computers with Visio Pro 2010 installed, I have had the following problem for the past several months: When I edit a Visio document that uses the UML stencil, as soon as I try to edit any object information, for example, define a table column, Visio locks up. By ‘lock up’, the program ceases to respond, Task Manager shows that the process is consuming 13% of the CPU, and the process has to be terminated via Task Manager.
In an attempt to resolve this problem, I had tried repairing the installation and uninstalling/reinstalling the program, but this has not resolved the problem.
I recently attached Visual Studio to the process to try to better understand the issue. As expected, there were numerous messages of the type ‘Cannot find or open the PDB file.’ The messages which, I sense, may be relevant were as follows:
First-chance exception at 0x7713C54F (KernelBase.dll) in VISIO.EXE: 0x80040155: Interface not registered.
In an attempt to address this issues, I tried:
C:\>regsvr32 c:\Windows\system32\KernelBase.dll
This resulted in a popup window with the following message:
The module “C:\Windows\system32\KernelBase.dll” was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.
Make sure that “C:\Windows\system32\KernelBase.dll” is a valid DLL or OCX file then try again.
The version of kernelBase.cll that is currently installed is 6.1.7601.24214, dated 1 Aug 2018 with a size of 419,840 bytes.
I used MultiFind Pro to search C:\Windows for any files named KernelBase and found quite a few older version in C:\Windows\winsxs. There were also numerous folder of the type C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-kernelbase_[identifier]. As well as other, similar folders. (What I am finding very strange is that MultiFind Pro is reporting a different file size and date than Windows Explorer or the Windows command prompt DIR command for all versions of this file.)
The last time a Visio UML file was successfully edited was Dec 2017 and based on the modified dates of the files found, the last version of KernelBase that was known to work was version 6.1.7601.23418, dated 18 Jun 2016.
I am fairly certain that my computer does not have a virus. I also know that reinstalling Windows will not resolve the issue as I have the same issue across all of my computers.
If I were to try copying Kernelbase.ddl V6.1.7601.23418 from the winsxs ‘backup’ folder, would it simply get over-written by the newer versions?
More importantly, can anyone suggest a specific course of action to resolve this problem?
Nikolay - I assume you are the MS Engineer who helped me with this issue - thanks.
Without boring everyone with the details: The problem occurs when my password manager, Sticky Password, is also running. Shut it down, and Visio works just fine. I have alerted the company and have asked them to fix the problem.
I'm getting the following error when attempting to install a nuget package into a standard .NET framework 4.7 project:
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
I'm using Visual Studio 2017 15.3.3 Enterprise (latest and greatest).
Given that this is my package, I have full control over the source code. The interesting part is that I have used this package in the past with no changes in the name, but for this go round, I rebuilt it to add a feature and am now getting this error.
Even more interesting is that I have packages from the same library, with the same namespace conventions, with longer names, that work just fine and have installed into this same project with no problems at all.
I have already tried shrinking the package name, shrinking the class names within the package itself, cleaning out the build directory, cleaning out the package home from the nuget server (it's a local server with the latest nuget.server installed which otherwise works just fine), and even clearing out the bin directory of the project in question, clearing out ALL the bin directories of ALL the ancestors to the "offending" package, clearing out the package cache, rebooting the computer and rebuilding the entire nuget package chain from scratch, all to no avail. I was told by one of the MS MVP's that "they fixed that". Apparently not.
Any help would be appreciated here, I'm at my wit's end and have run out of ideas to try.
Thanks.
OK, big Thank You #danmosemsft who suggested digging around with the SysInternals process monitor. After fiddling with it for a bit, I finally figured out how to narrow the result set to just file activity. What I noticed, and the nuget engineers should TAKE NOTE of this: The problem was NOT a too-long project name, rather, nuget was attempting to update a package that was no longer there. Why it went away is a mystery yet to be solved. I normally stay out of the packages directory and do not fuss with the packages.config file. I think that this might have to do with my impatience waiting for VS to start, load all the goodies and then allow me to perform a "Manage NuGet packages" - update all. I remember seeing an update to either NUnit or FluentAssertions that wanted to perform some additional file activity aside from just installing the next version, a script I believe. Can't speak to it with assurance, I wasn't paying that much attention as third party updates usually "just work". I didn't see the "finished" line from NuGet so I think that was the root of my problem. Rather than wait until VS has settled down, I pushed it a bit (hey, the buttons responded so there shouldn't be any problems...).
As a result, the packages directory was absolutely chock full of old stuff that did NOT belong there. So, I manually cleaned up all the cruft, manually cleaned up the packages.config file, restarted VS, waited for it to settle down, performed my NuGet updates and viola! no problem - HAVING NOT CHANGED ANY OF THE ANCESTRAL PACKAGE NAMES BY EVEN A SINGLE CHARACTER.
So, what do I conclude from this? It is my belief, and the guys that actually build nuget and nuget.server should take a closer look at the errors being thrown, such that I think that the error is not so much a path too long error, rather it's a "hey, I didn't find the file I expected so the file name is full of junk (and probably too long now) so I'll throw an error that says it's too long and quit". It's seemingly a failure to handle a missing package/package directory that is causing this particular problem
I solved my problem by ensuring that all the package directories were clean of all junk and rebuilding from a clean source. My problem is now solved.
Thanks to all of you that responded.
Update: While the above contributed to the solution, it was NOT the answer. Here is the sequence of events that led to this problem and it's ultimate resolution.
The solution was created in the C:\User\Sam\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects directory with the specified name of AWE.Lib.ADO.MsSqlSvr.ServerEntityHandler. This worked just fine, no errors. However due to a change in naming scheme from on high, the root directory for this project was changed from "C:\User\Sam\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects" to "C:\User\Sam\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\DotNet_4.7\AWE 8.x". No problem, I thought - given that a co-worker who also happens to be a MS MVP had told me that all naming length restrictions had been removed in VS 2017. So...I moved the project from it's current home to the directory specified. Compiles just fine, brings in UPDATED BUT ALREADY INSTALLED nuget packages just fine, etc.
Or so I thought. When I needed to add a NEW (one that had not been a part of the solution before) nuget package to the mix, I received the above error. Turns out that the new name of the receiving solution is a few characters longer than VS will accept - the naming length restrictions are STILL IN PLACE.
How did I finally solve the problem: After struggling with this, I threw my hands up and decided to start all over again - a true File | New. So, I started with a new solution named as follows:
"C:\Users\Sam\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\DotNet_4.7\AWE 8.x\AWE.Lib.ADO.MsSqlSvr.HndlrServerEntity"
THIS GENERATES AN ERROR - name too long. I wondered at Nuget's error in that it specifies that the name should be less than 248 characters in length or 260 maximum.
What I am allowed to use iaw the new solution dialog is this: "C:\Users\Sam\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\DotNet_4.7\AWE 8.x\AWE.Lib.ADO.MsSqlSvr.HndlrServerEnt", for a total of 106 characters in length. If the directory is shortened, I can add to the length of the name. If I shorten the length of the actual solution name, again, VS'll accept it. So long as the total length of directory plus solution name is less than or equal to 106 characters, there isn't a problem.
The nasty bit comes from creating the solution in one location and having it work in all respects just fine, moving said solution to a different directory, still having it function in all respects (I did NOT need to add any new nuget packages yet), then trying to add a new nuget package to the mix after the move. THAT is what triggered the above nuget error.
So...the ultimate "fix", use a shorter name as it seems that 106 characters is the limit despite what the error messages are saying (and what the MS MVP was told/told me).
There is another reason for this error message by the compiler.
While building , make sure the source code is placed at a folder location which is less than 260 characters long.
For example, a path like C:\Users\User\source\Services\Exp\Sample-web-application-indot-net-displaying-RestAPI\Sample-web-application-indot-net-displaying-RestAPI\SportsStore is around 150 characters long but there are sub folders in the solution which in turn have source code files and so on.
Sometimes the overall length of the path of some files breaches the 260 character length.
I think the future versions of Visual Studio would have a bigger length allowance. Until then, we can make sure that our file names are not too long.
I was running into the same issue after I moved a project to another folder. In my case I closed VS renamed the .vs folder in root to 1.vs (effectively removing it) and re-opend my project.
In my case, I was first trying to install a package using Manage Nuget Packages for Solutions and was getting this error. Then I tried installing same package using Package Manager Console and it worked fine. I again uninstalled that package and tried installing using Manage Nuget Packages for Solutions and this time it worked fine as well.
Well in my experience all i had to do is move the entire project to my c: drive, delete unnecessary folders to ensure the path would be shorter. Done deal.
This error comes to me when I tried to copy the project folder to OneDrive and the problem is that OneDrive is not uploading long name files.
I've fixed this issue by just copying the project folder then paste it in the new laptop using USB.
I wish this could help
Move the folder of the project to a folder within a few levels from the root dir. For example the Desktop and voila.
Try to close Solution from File->Close Solution and opening it again.
For my case uninstalling, installing, or even updating NuGet packages, nothing was working but reopening(sometimes you can also close and open Visual Studio again) the Solution did the magic.
I'm to use nunit-console to run all of the tests in my solution.
I did this:
c:\some\path>nunit-console-x86.exe MySolution.sln

---------------------------
The exception can be found here
What is happening and how do I fix it? (without having to maintain a MySolution.nunit file)
More information
MyNamespace.Administration is not even one of the dlls that contains tests, which means that nunit fails trying to load it to look for tests to run. Knowing this I edited the file created by nunit-x86.exe (MySolution.nunit) and removed all dlls that did not have tests. Sure enough, the tests work (in both gui and console). This is not acceptable for me because it would mean that I have to keep yet another configuration file. Nunit supporting .sln files was supposed to avoid this.
My tests run fine using TestDriven.Net (but I really need to run them using nunit-console)
I have looked at this answer but I cannot make sense of what the fusion log viewer says. Would posting that log help? Assembly binding Log Viewer, lists 3 files being created:
nunit-agent-x86.exe, this one seems to be trying to find MyNamespace.Administration.dll/EXE inside the nunit directories
Tests_24398275 x2 - one looking for nunit.core in my project folders and another looking for unit.core.interfaces inside my project folders. I would pay little attention to these two since they also appear in my manually edited .nunit project).
(per andreister comment) The problem seems to be with the project/assembly itself and not the creation method. If I create a .nunit project and try to add MyNamespace.Administration to it (using 'Add Assembly...' or 'Add VS project...') it fails.
Calling nunit-console-x86 somepath/bin/Debug/MyNamespace.Administration.dll directly works.
Reposting my reply on nunit-discuss:
The NUnit feature of loading VS solutions is really fairly limited and intended to work with simple projects or as a quick way to create an NUnit project file - i.e. load the solution and save as an NUnit project, then edit the xml file that is created. Since the solution file format doesn't indicate which files are tests, NUnit attempts to load each project to check if it contains any tests. (This is the same thing that Visual Studio 2012 and later does when using the test explorer window, btw.)
As you suggest, I think the particular assembly fails to load because of having a dependency that is one level up. When loading either a VS solution file or an NUnit project file, NUnit sets the application base to the directory containing the solution or project. That's why an NUnit project file one level up works.
The designers' intent in this sort of situation is that you would create an NUnit project file. I recognize that this is somewhat inconvenient, since it gives you another configuration file to maintain. I'm open to suggestions regarding the use of globs either on the command line or within the project file. Any such changes would probably go into the next major upgrade, NUnit 3.0.
Unfortunately, even after posting on nunit-discuss group I was unable to find a proper solution for this problem.
nunit-discuss group confirmed that my tests are failing because of having a dependency that is one level up.
I did however found an acceptable work-around.
Since calling the .dlls directly didn't have the same issues.
I could do this with globs, but I'm on windows... but I have git bash installed.
Taking advantage of my somewhat rigid project structure and naming convention I managed to do this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\bash.exe" -c 'nunit-console-x86.exe //framework=net-4.5 //xml:nunitresults.xml MysolutionFolder/Tests/*/bin/Debug/*.Tests.dll'
Please note that I took advantage of my naming convention. This is very important to do in order to reduce the number of arguments.
When I did nunit-console-x86 MysolutionFolder/*/*/bin/Debug/*.dll instead of MysolutionFolder/Tests/*/bin/Debug/*.Tests.dll I got an error from nunit-console-x86 saying Bad file number.
Besides, it's faster if I just provide the right files.
If you have a more recent version of bash (4.0+, I think) you can instead use the following command (note the use of **):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\bash.exe" -c 'nunit-console-x86.exe //framework=net-4.5 //xml:nunitresults.xml MysolutionFolder/**/bin/Debug/*.Tests.dll'
Which is shorter and more permissive on the project structure.
