How can I install MongoDB 3.X on Windows without admin rights? - mongodb

I'm on a Windows 7 (64-bit) box and do not have admin rights.
It appears from the MongoDB download page (see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/) that the latest version only an MSI install is available (no zip version).
I tried running the 3.0.4 MSI. I clicked custom so I could change the directory to install to. I used %USERPROFILE%\MyProgs\MongoDB-3.0.4, so no admin rights would be needed. It ran for a bit but then prompted me to enter admin credentials. I hit escape (like clicking on X at top right) to close the window. On other MSI installs this has worked. I tried it again and clicked "No" but in both cases received the message
MongoDB 3.0.4 2008R2Plus SSL (64 bit) setup was interrupted.
Your system has not been modified. [...]
This article does a GREAT job going through how to install MongoDB on Windows:
How to install mongoDB on windows?
My observation is that v2.4.14 is the last version that is available via the ZIP format. So for now, I'm using that version.
Is there any other way to install the MongoDB version 3.X MSI without admin rights?
NOTE: On the MongoDB Download page https://www.mongodb.org/downloads there is a link titled View Build Archive (it sends you here https://www.mongodb.org/dl/win32/x86_64-2008plus-ssl, and that site lists *.zip formatted files). I thought I had found my own solution to the question, but when I unzipped the files, and added the "bin" to my path and ran the programs (mongo, and mongod) I received an Windows Dialog that says:
mongod.exe - System Error
The program can't start because LIBEAY32.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem
I stopped here and posted this question. Thanks for any help.
For now I'm using the version that supported the zip format (v2.4.14) and that version does work.
NOTE2: The v2.4.14 zip formatted install doesn't have a file named LIBEAY32.dll), or I might have tried using that file with the newer version.

Yes, it is possible to install the latest MSI (including the one with SSL) without admin rights via command line.
msiexec /a mongodb-win32-x64-3.2.5.msi /qb TARGETDIR="C:\MongoDB"
This will copy the binaries into C:\MongoDB\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin
I dislike long paths like that, so I create a symlink inside the folder:
cd C:\MongoDB
mklink /j bin C:\MongoDB\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin
That will create a soft link as C:\MongoDB\bin (which you can add to your PATH environment variable).
mongo --version
mongod --version
Both should return version 3.2.5.
You can do this with most packages, we have to do similar with Python 2.7 and Node 4.4.3 MSI packages on work computers that do not have admin rights.

You can download the "legacy" version which is the unsigned non msi version as a zip. The disclaimer is listed as
The 64-bit legacy build does not include SSL encryption and lacks
newer features of Windows that enhance performance. Use this build for
Windows Server 2003, 2008, or Windows Vista
The 3.0.5 version is https://fastdl.mongodb.org/win32/mongodb-win32-x86_64-3.0.5.zip

The latest version is available as zip download.
[https://www.mongodb.com/dr/fastdl.mongodb.org/win32/mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-ssl-4.0.6.zip/download][1]
Download and Unzip into folder where user has permissions e.g c:\users\xxx\mongodb.
Enter the path to bin folder (e..g c:\users\xxx\mongodb\bin) into the
environment variable 'PATH'. To access path variable press Win + R
and then enter rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables.
Select Path and click edit. Then enter new and there enter the path
to bin folder. Click OK and OK to save and exit.
Check Mongo version from command line using command mongo --version.
Note: Don't forget to create db folder in C drive that is required for mongo to work locally. All set.

MongoDB .msi installer not working on Windows 10

I have downloaded the .msi multiple times and tried to run in a variety of ways, however, I cannot install MongoDB on my windows 10 machine. When I click the .msi, I get the first "preparing to install" pop-up and then it just goes away. Nothing happens.
I tried downloading the zip folder which contains a bunch of .exes.. but still nothing. I'm not sure how to get this to work on my local.
Thoughts?
For some reason, the latest documentation doesn't include the manual installation process.
Download the distribution ZIP and extract it to c:\mongodb\ or equivalent.
Then from the resultant bin directory you can run an administrative powershell command (be sure to replace the paths with real paths that exist on your system):
PS C:\mongodb\bin> ./mongod.exe --install --logpath="c:\\path\\to\\logfile.log" --dbpath="c:\\path\\to\\data\\on\\disc"
This will create a windows service named "MongoDB" which should start automatically. If it doesn't, you can run net start MongoDB from your admin PS prompt.
Please download Mongodb from there official sites and also there is a very easy guide to install the mongodb on various OS.

Uninstall SQL Developer on Win 10

I might have installed the wrong version of Oracle SQL Developer (Version 4.1.4) on my Win 10 laptop. So I want to uninstall it and install a newer version.
Any idea what´s the easiest way to do it?
Find the directory it was unzipped to, e.g. C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper, though it could be anywhere - quite likely in your downloads directory; and just delete that entire sqldeveloper directory.
There is no installation as such, it's just a Java application sitting in a directory.
Settings are held under your personal home directory, and when you unzip and run the later version (18.2 is current) you'll be asked if you want to migrate those settings, which will include any connections you've already defined.
Read more in the 4.1 documentation.
It is not installed so you can't uninstall it. To remove it from system do following:
Delete base directory, where you unziped it (where you run it).
Delete your user connection data - folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL developer
If you don't have any other oracle software, delete your user configuration data - folder C:\Users\<username>\Oracle

Sitecore Package installation not working

I am trying to install Sitecore PowerShell Extensions-3.0 Package for Sitecore 8
in my sitecore 8 instance (Windows 8.1 machine).
I used Sitecore's Development Tools -> Installation Wizard & Package Manager and choosing the above mentioned package. It shows Install a Package sitecore dialog with Installing gif and stays there for over an hour and nothing happens. No error nothing it just spins.
First I tried other Packages and it was the same, even with lower versions of Powershell Packages and it still doesn't install.
Can someone shed some lights on what I am missing?
When installing Sitecore packages entries are written to the Sitecore Log. In Sitecore 8 the Logs are stored in MongoDB, so if you don't have Mongo running installing packages appears to hang.
Although disabling Mongo Analytics allowed you to install the package it is not a suitable method moving forward. Instead you should install MongoDB and then get the Sitecore DBs running by executing a .bat file.
To do that open Notepad paste the text as it below, modifying the path to the MongoDB.exe and folder containing the Sitecore Mongo databases if required, then Save As SitecoreDbs.bat
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin\mongod.exe" -dbpath "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Sitecore8\Databases"
Essentially the path to your MongoDB executable location and the Path to your Site's databases.
By disabling Mongo Analytic did the trick.

Oracle - SQL Developer: msvcr100.dll is missing from your computer

Have installed 11g in Windows 7 (64 bit machine). Since the SQL developer wont work with 64 bit jdk.
Installed the 32 bit jdk1.7.0
and changed the ORACLE_HOME\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf file SetJavaHome point to 32 bit jdk1.7.0.
Again started the SQL developer, but it throws msvcr100.dll missing. Find that the SQL Developer3.x supports at max jdk1.6.X.
Even tho the question is answered I would like to point out that downloading random DLLs from untrusted sources should be avoided.
If you are missing MSVCR100.DLL just install the correct redist for your platform.
32Bit: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=8328
64Bit: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523
Cheers,
Antonio Huete
These information is specified in ORACLE_HOME\sqldeveloper\releasenotes . So install the jdk1.6 and make the sqldeveloper.conf SetJavaHome point to this.
other workaround is go to jdk1.7.0 installed path jdk1.7.0\jre\bin copy msvcr100.dll and paste it into ORACLE_HOME\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin and again try start SQL Developer. It will start.
And The file is from
This file was downloaded from: http://www.dll-files.com
If you downloaded it from somewhere else, please let us know: http://www.dll-files.com/contact.php
Installation instructions:
Extract the .dll file from .zip file. We recommend that you extract the .dll to the installation directory of the program that is requesting the .dll.
If that doesn't work, you will have to extract the .dll to your system directory. By default, this is:
C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me)
C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000)
C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP, Vista, 7, win 8)
If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you should also place the .dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
Make sure to overwrite any existing files (but make a backup copy of the original file for safety).
Reboot your computer.
If the problem still occurs, try the following:
Open Windows Start menu and select "Run...".
Type CMD and press Enter (or if you use Windows ME, type COMMAND)).
Type regsvr32 .dll and press Enter.

I have just downloaded latest 4.1.3 version with jdk included - Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included to my Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit and faced the same problem. Could not start sqldeveloper.exe, because "msvcr100.dll is missing from your computer".
I did not want to install any additional bloatware, so what I did:
take msvcr100.dll from original download SQLDeveloper folder sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\bin
and copy it to Your's oracle installation bin folder, in my case - C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin
SQL developer started!
Edit (path)\sqldeveloper.sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf with Notepad++ or some other advanced text editor. Don't use Windows Notepad for this.
Locate the SetJavaHome variable. Replace "../../jdk" with your regular PC Java source. On mine it was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_73".
The line looks like this when you're done:
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_73
Save and exit.
I got this error while running Oracle JDeveloper.
I have copied the msvcr100.dll file from C:\Windows\System32 to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_261\jre\bin.
It worked for me. Also check the enviromental varibles settings.
The JDK needs msvcr100.dll to either be located in the same directory as sqldeveloper.exe OR already be installed on a Windows machine in a location defined in environment path variable. In testing SQL Developer install on various Windows 7 machines where I have other software installed (not a clean machine), the msvcr100.dll is installed on C: \Windows\system32\msvcr100.dll.
you may get it from sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\bin\msvcr100.dll(refer your installation dir)
I was facing the same issue and it worked for me.
For me the solution was to simply upgrade SQL Developer. When work changed over my laptop I copied SQL Developer between machines and I got the above error except for msvcr120.dll. I copied that dll from my old machine but then it needed another and then another. So I downloaded the latest version of SQL developer and the errors went away. It might not solve the issues for everything but I think updating to the latest version should be done before trying any of the other solutions.

Where do I get libpq source?

I want to write application which uses Postgresql as DBMS.
To write client application do I need libpq library and header files?
If yes where I would get libpq library and header files.
Libpq is included in the full PostgreSQL source code. You can use just libpq without the rest of PostgreSQL, but must download the full package.
You can download it from the PostgreSQL Downloads page.
Once you extract the full package it is inside src\interfaces\libpq.
The PostgreSQL installation guide details how to install only the client libraries in the Installation section, under Client-only installation.
Libpq documentation is also available.
In postgresql sources, src\interfaces\libpq.
And yes, it is possible to compile only the libpq.
get the lipq from repo, {for debian} :
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
I was also facing this issue but didn't got a clear answer:
This issue clearly states that while installing diesel-cli system is not able to locate libpq.lib
First of all you should have a Postgres installed on your machine.
Also diesel require visual c++, thus download and install it if not already, the size of setup will be ~5gb.
Once above installations are done you need to setup environment variables:
In my case path of Postgres installation is C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL thus add 2 environment variable path under User variables add new in Path where your libpq.lib is located in my case it is available in both C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\lib and C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin
Once this is added create one more environment variable PQ_LIB_DIR and set path as shown below
Note: Once done re-trigger the installation command in a new cmd window
Source: pq-sys and github-solution
For Windows users, it's in (version may be different)
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\lib
There you find libpq.lib. Provide this directory to Linker input.
Don't forget to include C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\include directory for include directories.
I fix this problem reccently. This is a solution if you don't want to install Postgres in you windows.
At first, you need download Postgres Binaries. The version I download is 13.6, but it's seems like any version is fine.
Unzip the zip file.Copy libpq.lib from pgsql\lib to shomewhere like C:\Program Files\Postgres\lib.
Execute the following command in cmd window.
setx PQ_LIB_DIR "{where_you_copy_to}"
Open a new cmd windows and install diesel_cli
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres
In linux vertify you get the libpq.
1st, there is an app: pg_config: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgconfig.html
after you found out the pg_config absolute bin path.(if you installed multi version of postgressql) Then You can get
--includedir
Print the location of C header files of the client interfaces.
--libdir
Print the location of object code libraries.
Then try to compile/build some example code: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-example.html
Some common failure example: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-build.html
You can install Postgres locally from https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads but select only "Command line tools" for install.
After that, you can found libpq.dll in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\bin
