How to download Active Perl Zip for Windows Server 2003 - perl

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question . But I'm trying to install Active Perl for IIS in windows 2003 server. I need to build a website in perl. So I want to follow the steps as given in this document
http://www.howtogeek.com/50500/how-to-install-perl-on-iis-6-for-windows-server-2003/
In the steps it is mentioned that download ActiveState Perl distribution package (get the AS zip file and not the installer) " . But I'm unable to find the zip file in this site http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads . I can only see .msi . Please help me in finding in this file

ActiveState has not produced the .zip version for windows in a while. ActivePerl installs from .msi just fine & if it sees IIS is already installed, it will configure itself accordingly. Of course if you strongly prefer a copy of Perl as outdated as the OS you'd like to install it onto, you can always pony up for a Business or Enterprise Edition subscription.
Word to the wise: Server 2003 is under extended support for only another 2 years.

To get the ZIP file instead of the MSI installer, copy the MSI URL to the clipboard, change the extension from .msi to .zip, and then load the file. Today is June 23, 2014 and it has just worked fine for ActivePerl-5.16.3.1604-MSWin32-x86-298023.zip.

Did ActiveState stop providing plain old MSI installer of Perl for Windows?

I have a Windows 10 PC.
I want Perl.
I found the following blog post on theitsite:
https://community.activestate.com/t/new-msi-installer-for-activeperl/1626
"New MSI Installer for ActivePerl".
I didn't understand from it how and where should I get an EXE or MSI for Perl?
Where is the MSI / EXE?
This page : https://www.activestate.com/products/perl/
lets me use a PowerShell script, but I don't want it.
Should I manage the Windows environment variables myself?
I do not need multiple installations. just one.
Well -
I found that there is no MSI, also there is no PPM anymore.
There is - instead - the ActiveState package manager called simply "state".
It is first need to be installed via Windows CMD (Command line) - more exactly - PowerShell.
After this each module is installed via "state install XYZ".
There's a need to sign up for an ActiveState Platform account.
It was change probably in July 2020 - two years ago, between perl 5.26 and Perl 5.28 from them.
I found this blog post: https://community.activestate.com/t/new-msi-installer-for-activeperl/1626
Where ActiveState tell about their new way of installers - as follows:
[It] is a web-style installer, which will provide a smaller initial download
Includes the ActiveState Platform command line interface, the State Tool
Thats it for now.
And I managed to have Perl 5.36 from them, at last.

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

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.

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)

Cheers,

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.

Is it possible to use InstallShield to install more than one .exe files?

I have completed a project on VisualStudio and I have built the .exe file of this project. I wanted to make an installer that will include this .exe file as well as the postgreSQL and perl executable installers because my VB application relies on them to work. So I assume that if I want it to work properly on every windows-based PC I have to include those as well.
Is there a way I can include those 3 .exe(s) in a single setup (let's say .MSI file) and if yes what are the steps required to do so?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
George.
An MSI shouldn't ever run an EXE installer. For that scenario you need what's called a bootstrapper / chainer. The two are similar except that boostrapper is things that must be installed before your MSI ( like Windows Installer itself ) and chainer are things that get installed along with your MSI.
InstallShield has two features for this. Setup / Feature Prerequisites and Suite Installers. Both can be used to chain together any number of EXE and MSI installers.

ADPlus.exe with Windows debugging tools - what's funcationlity difference if compare to ADPlus vbscript

I have installed the new version of Windows debugging tools and I got a AdPlus.exe. I don't know if there are any changes but I remember when I installed it sometime ago on another computer, what i got was a ADPlus as vbscript file ( and not an executable). In the installation directory I still see there is a vbscript file but does any one know what is the difference between executable and vbscript. Thanks
According to this "what's new" article, they seem to be pretty much the same in that the vbs can still be used if you don't have .net framework 2.0 installed on the machine. That's not to say that there isn't something extra in the tool. You could find out by checking out adplus.doc in that same folder.
