Been trying to install Postgres version 9.2.4-1 on my desktop (Vista x32). Downloaded the installer but upon running the .exe a blank window came up with the installer name as title.
This was strange as the installer worked fine on my office pc, also running vista x32. I've tried googling but there are no solutions abound. I've tried the following steps:-
redownloaded the installer. no dice.
downloaded older versions of the installer and the x64 version (same problem)
fully updated vista.
ensured admin rights
tried running from command line.
disabled UAC and windows firewall.
event logs did not show anything nor was there an install-postgresql.log in the %temp% folder.
Disabled antivirus
Followed the FAQ on common installation errors.
my user variable PATH:
C:\RailsInstaller\Git\cmd;C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_15\bin;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\lib
been going crazy trying to figure this out! please help.
As the installation is hung\incomplete in your case install log names should be bitrock_installer.log or bitrock_installer_xxx.log, where xxx is a number (the process ID of the installation attempt). Please check the %temp% dir for this file. This will log all manner of data about the installation, and is invaluable when troubleshooting. The log will be called install-postgresql.log if the installation completed successfully. If not, the installer may not have been able to rename it, in which case the name will be either bitrock_installer.log or bitrock_installer_xxx.log, where xxx is a number.
SOLVED!
right click on .exe
run as administrator
Apparently running the installer on an administrator account wasn't enough. Which was odd as I could just run the installer on my office pc without jumping through this additional hoop. Can't believe I just spent hours on this non-issue!
Thanks for the quick responses!

I am trying to download and install an app called "code printer" from Github but there seems to be no setup. I have installed the Git app on my Windows computer and it has been configured with my username and email ID. I have downloaded the files to my computer from the website. I am unsure about how to proceed. I am new to github and a step by step procedure would greatly help. Thank you.
This is the url where the app can be found : https://github.com/jaredpetersen/codeprinter
On each Github projects, developers often leave a README.md file in the root of their repository to give more details about their project. This is the case for that one: https://github.com/jaredpetersen/codeprinter/blob/master/README.md
In 90% of the time, they offer installation instruction on how to build and install their project on your own computer. Code Printer, for example, seems to have this section in particular. They even have a ready to use hosted version there: http://jaredpetersen.github.io/codeprinter/.
In the "Usage" section, there is two key important things to note. The first one, the technology used to develop this software, which is Node.js, then it is followed by the list of command lines to run under a command prompt in order to build and run the software. Node.js includes, once installed on your computer, npm, the Node.js package manager. This package manager is necessary to build and run the software.
So in short:
Download & install Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/. If you have the
Chocolatey package manager on your computer, you can alternatively
install it with the command "choco install nodejs-lts".
Open a command prompt and then navigate to the project's folder on your computer. Be sure to open it after the installation of Node.js.
You can test if the installation is successful by typing "npm" then
enter to see if npm respond to the command. If not, maybe your path
environment variable isn't pointing to the executable. Just make sure
it is.
Type
npm install
npm run build
npm start
in the command prompt
Enjoy!
If something is still unclear, simply leave a comment and I will add more details in this answer.
The instructions are on the page you linked to
npm install
npm run build
npm start
You will need to have Node.JS installed for npm to work.
We have a VSTO Application that is installed on many machines. If the Add-In is already installed, there is no issue. If you try to uninstall or install, you get the following error message:
The following Microsoft Office solution cannot be installed due to a general installer error: App_Name.vsto
0x80070002
This application has been working without hiccups for almost a year now. Our Sys Admin and I believe we've narrowed it down to a mandatory Windows 10 update as our base Windows 10 image has it working fine and it works on Windows 7 no issue. However, the update is already pushed out and nothing is showing up in the logs.
I know the VSTOInstaller.exe.Config file has been the cause for several of these installer issues, however I cannot find that file on any of our machines even though I KNOW I modified one machine and changed the name to VSTOInstaller.exe.Config.Old for the Business.fba error some have gotten. I assume an update somehow packaged the config file into the .exe.
The Windows 7 machines also don't have the Config file as well...
What we've tried:
Searching for an older .Config file to place in the folder
Rolling back to a previous version
Recompiling
Changing the publish destination folder and setting version back to version 1.0.0.0
Update: Placing a VSTOInstaller.Exe.Config then a VSTOInstaller.Config in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\VSTO\10.0 folder
Update: Running repair then doing an uninstall/reinstall on Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime (x64) program from Control Panel.
Update: Cleared Application Event Log
Update: Stopped Windows Update service, Renamed C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributionOld, then restarted the Windows Update service.
I'm at a loss. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
If anyone has the VSTOInstaller.exe.Config file, I'd love to try and place that in the folder to see if it works.
Version:
Word Version - 16.0.6769.2040
VS Version - 14.0.25420.1
OS Version - 1511 (OS Build 10586.494)
Turns out the error was part of a Microsoft Office update. Unsure if somehow the update listed in the question updated Office 2016 in the background somewhere.
The steps to resolution were as follows:
Uninstall O365 from the Control Panel
Download the a full removal tool and run it from https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Uninstall-Office-2016-Office-2013-or-Office-365-from-a-PC-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8
At this point after those have ran, uninstall the add-in if it was installed.
Reinstall O365
Reinstall/Install the VSTO Add-In
Easier resolution than I thought and really appreciate all the assistance.
Windows 10 Update error 0x80070002 or 0x80070003
Step 1: Windows Service Checklist:

Due to problems with the windows installer 5 I must rename msi.dll for reinstallation. That's not possible in save mode/as administrator (access denied). Of course the service is stopped. Any hints?
Edit: My problem is that I can't install msi files anymore. Everytime after some dialogs I get an error message that the corresponding msi file can't be read. I have tried any infos I found in the www universe and lost a lot of time already. E. g. I replaced the registry settings, used sfc /scannow without success.
In Windows 7 there is no dllcache, so I really don't know what is preventing renaming.
My problem is that I can't install msi files anymore. Everytime after some dialogs
I get an error message that the corresponding msi file can't be read
This sounds a little bit strange. If you see MSI dialogs and the install fails when you kick it off there must be something else wrong. I assume you have, but have you verified that the problem exists with multiple MSI files? Try with a fresh MSI file, preferably one that you downloaded fresh from the Internet. Try to run from the local disk and from a network disk.
Have you enabled logging for the install? Try to do so with flush to log enabled (the ! character enables continuous flushing to log so that an msiexec.exe crash doesn't leave an empty log file):
msiexec.exe /i C:\Path\Your.msi /L*vx! C:\Your.log
See msifaq.com for more details (logging faq entry). Search for "value 3" in the log file to find errors as explained by Rob Mensching (Wix & Orca author).
Also try to disable any anti virus software and / or desktop security that may be interferring with the file extraction from the MSI's cab file. Is there plenty of disk space? Are there any errors found during a disk scan?
Are you trying to revert to a previous version of Windows Installer? Here is some information: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315346.
I suppose you could use system restore as well, but that would have other side effects.
What is the overall problem? Windows Installer 5 does not seem to introduce anything very controversial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd408114(v=vs.85).aspx

SET UP:
I have OS X Lion 10.7.2 installed (not upgraded)
I bought the laptop (no software upgrade)
I have Version 4.2 (4D199) installed
My .bash_profile says the following:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
When I type 'which psql' I get:
/usr/bin/psql
I have read this post on fixing the postresql Repairing Postgresql after upgrading to OSX 10.7 Lion and in this article it says that the when you type which psql you should be getting:
usr/local/bin/psql
I'm not getting it. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE - FOR ANYONE
If anyone has the same set up as me do the following: Read this link https://plus.google.com/114301087219148980063/posts/VHmzi63jCJK I have copied and pasted what this person has wrote:
If you've installed or upgraded to Lion, you probably noticed that it now comes with a partial PostgreSQL 9.0.4 installation. Replacing shoddy MySQL with proper beardy Unix database software is no doubt a good thing, but you will quickly notice that the actual PostgreSQL server is missing, as it's part of the "server" version of Lion and not included in the regular flavor. So how do you get your PostgreSQL development server back?
Do not buy Lion Server http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/os-x-lion-server/id444376097?mt=12. For £35 this should get you the official build of the server part of PostgreSQL, along with a lot of other stuff you most likely don't need. Save the cash and the diskspace.
Do not install the official PostgreSQL Mac package from EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload. It's nice of them to provide one, but it's currently not working with Lion (minor user creation issues - although there is a workaround).
Do not Build from source http://cambhlumbulunk.blogspot.com/2011/07/os-x-lion-2-postgresql-as-default.html. This will work, but leave you with a clutter of files in /usr/local that conflict with system files unless you're taking special care.
Do brew install postgresql. Yes, this is almost the same as 3., but the result can be easily removed or updated later. Plus you get nice setup instructions at the end about how to create a database and launch postgres at login. Homebrew Link will also help you set up your environment so that things that require PostgreSQL headers and includes to build (like psycopg2) can find them without any messing around.
FINAL NOTE:
You must have brew installed first.
After you have installed brew then you can install postgresql brew install postgresql
The installation provides EXCELLENT notes for creating your initial DB and starting/stop PostgresSQL for OS X Lion. Save the notes and do the initial create DB
Once you have at this point you can create a db. i.e. psql -d stuff
For the longest time I kept wondering why the initial OS X Lion PostgreSQL was not working and it comes down to it's missing the server version. Anyone else banging their heads on this I hope this reference material helps.
*.bash_profile* is read on login (if you're using bash as your login shell or if you force its execution with the --login option).
Did you try to log off and on after you've modified the initialization file (*.bash_profile* will not be read if you just open a new terminal window)?
You may add the path settings to your .bashrc file too (it's read whenever an interactive shell is spawned).
Did you check if psql is actually available in /usr/local/bin ?

I want to install the PowerShell Community Extensions using only the command-line.
I don't want to use a UI, no right-click extract, double-clicking an MSI file. I have to do this process on dozens of computers. However, all of the instructions I've found involve all of this clicking and downloading.
I'm looking for a series of PowerShell commands that can complete the installation. Ideal solution would be completely self-contained: download file X & install. I would like to avoid copying local versions to the given server.
Requirement of Admin access is fine.
Clarifications:
I'm starting from a blank computer, with PoSH 2.0 installed. I'm logged in via PsSession.
I'm looking for a series of PoSH commands, not a list of instructions.
I'm actively trying to avoid "Open IE and download a file", that's the anti-thesis of a shell.
Edit for 2014
I would now do this with Chocolatey.
Chocolatey has a one-line download & install command followed by an additional command in to install PSCX.
PSCX (2.0) is available as a zip and all you have to do is copy the contents of the zip file to your modules folder -$env:Home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules ( for user) or $PSHome\Modules (for system) - and when you want to use it, issue import-module pscx.
Read the release notes for more details.
