My environment:
Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on Windows 10
-> https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH4MSV6
PhpStorm 2022.1 Build #PS-221.5080.224, built on April 13, 2022
My Problem:
I'm trying to export a PostgreSQL database inside the Database tab of PhpStorm.
To execute the export I right click the database in the list and click on the "Export with 'pg_dump'" option. This opens the Export window with all the options and command preview:
Inside of the window I get the error message "Path to executable is wrong" even tho the pg_dump file exists at the given path /usr/bin/pg_dump. This stops me from executing the export.
I have tried to manually install pg_dump in another directory and select it in the PhpStorm Export window, but it still won't detect the executable. The executable itself works fine.
The solution to this problem was to do a sudo apt-get install postgresql-client.
Apparently there is a general problem with the pg_dump executable of the "postgresql-client-common" package:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/501091/command-pg-dump-not-found
After installing the postgresql-client package, everything works fine in PhpStorm as well.
The code is pretty simple there: IDE checks that file exists and is executable, then run /path/to/pg_dump --version command and parse output looking for some keywords. Unfortunately there are no logs which can show exact reason, but I guess the issue that IDE can't get access to the file. Most likely due to WSL. The workaround is to install IDE and unpack PG binaries on Windows, then configure port forwarding to make PG server accessible from host OS.
Installing PostgreSQL v12.3 on Windows 10 with Windows x86-64 installer. I can't find a solution anywhere. Installer allows me to click ok and continue installation. I even have access to all the apps that come with Postgres, including the pgAdmin4 app, but I the 'psql' command in my command line doesn't work.
Anyone know how to resolve this?
Netbeans has a terminal window but it requires cygwin to be installed. Since I can't install cygwin (it requires admin permission), is there a way to open a Windows command line prompt(cmd) inside Netbeans?
Cygwin does need to be installed for NetBeans to have a Terminal window, and by default administrator rights are required to install it. However you can override that default requirement using the --no-admin argument when you install it.
See section 2.4 of the Cygwin FAQs:
2.4.
Can I install Cygwin without administrator rights?
Yes. The default installation requests administrator rights because
this allows to set up the Cygwin environment so that all users can
start a Cygwin shell out of the box. However, if you don't have
administrator rights for your machine, and the admins don't want to
install it for you, you can install Cygwin just for yourself by
downloading setup-x86.exe (for a 32 bit install) or setup-x86_64.exe
(for a 64 bit install) and then start it from the command line or via
the "Run..." dialog from the start menu using the --no-admin option,
for instance:
setup-x86.exe --no-admin
(While this is an answer, I am unfortunately not in a position to verify that it actually works.)
Make sure your Netbeans is closed while installing the Cygwin plugin, preferably download the . msi file for your PC's architecture(32 or 64 bits).
Thereafter Click on the tools bar above then you'll seen open in Terminal that should provide a terminal at the bottom of your Netbeans program.
Most importantly ensure your Netbeans is closed during installation.
So I am just trying to convert to powershell from bash. I was trying to find a way to SSH my server, and found out I could install win32-openssh to do so.
I installed it by:
Installing chocolatey as packageprovider using:
install-packageprovider chocolatey
Then i installed win32-openssh with the command:
install-package win32-openssh
My problem is now, how do I run this program?
It installs the correct binaries etc. It will not add some PS cmdlets for the use off ssh inside PS.
It is all described on the package site:
This package performs the following operations that you normally have to hack at until you get what you want:
Install Appropriate Bitness for the version of Windows
Install to Program Files (malware protection and following advice of dev team)
Add SSH location to System PATH
Optionally install sshd windows service (Requires parameter - see below)
Optionally install sshd server "key based authentication" (Requires parameter - see below)
Cleanly uninstall all of the above (removing config files and server keys requires special switch - see below)
So you can run it from start menu, or by typing ssh.exe into a prompt.
You have Two Options I can think of.
Option 1 : Use bash on Windows 10. Bash comes bundled with Windows 10. You can just enable a Windows 10 feature for it. Setup bash on Windows 10. You'll never miss bash again even if you're on Windows. [Recommended Option]
Option 2 : Set up SSH on Powershell by installing a package like PoSH-SSH.
Steps :
Pre-requisite : PC running Windows 10. Open PowerShell in Admin mode.
Find-Module PoSH-SSH
type 'Y' for the prompts.
Install-Module Posh-SSH
type 'A' for the prompts.
Reference:

There's not really a need for this. If you have git installed on your Windows machine, you can add it's usr/bin folder to you path. It has ssh and other Unix tools you can use just like in Bash in PowerShell or CMD.
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:
http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/list/1747.page#6180
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>
