I've been given access to a server and told SP1 was installed on it, but I think maybe it wasn't.
How can I check if Service Pack 1 is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2?
What I've tried:
If I right click Computer, then click Properties, it says "Windows Server 2008 R2" under Windows Edition. I would expect it to say "Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1" if it was installed, but I did find something in a Windows 7 forum about the Service Pack not showing up in computer properties.
If I click Control Panel - > Programs - > View Installed Updates, it's not there either. I don't see the words "Service Pack" or any reference to KB 976932, which I believe is the KB for Service Pack 1 for Server 2008 R2 as well as Windows 7. (Maybe I'm wrong?)
If I run msinfo32, it shows Version as 6.1.7600 Build 7600
If I call ver.exe from command prompt it says Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Is there any other way to verify if SP1 is installed? Or, could I prove it is NOT installed?
UPDATE: Maybe someone can move this to Server Fault?
Here's the explanation I received: "The Windows Server 2008 R2 w/sp1 is from our Microsoft download, and the key used only works on that download" Is this normal/expected behavior for a MSDN download?

Go to start > run and type winver. Hit enter and a dialog will appear. On the second line in the main dialog body, you will either see something like this:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Or, if SP1 is installed you will see this:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600: Service Pack 1]
If a service pack is properly installed, it will always appear in the winver dialog, so it's absence is proof that it is not installed, or is corrupted in some way.

I am facing this .dll library missing error:
This programme can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll
is missing. Try to reinstall this.
When I try to open an Microsoft Office file.
How do I solve that?
The default solution is to install KB2999226 of Microsoft.
While the answer from alireza is correct, it has one gotcha:
You can't install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist (runtime) unless you have Windows Update KB2999226 installed (at least on Windows 7 64-bit SP1).
Recursively update Windows 7 until it shows no more updates, using Windows Update check option in Windows 7.
Then download and install Visual C++ Redistributable vc_redist.x64.exe from the Windows website.
Then try to run Apache server.
This error is usually caused by the missing Visual C++ Redistributable file, which is a required dependency for most of the application on Windows Computer.
Download Visual C++ Redistributable from here and install it. After installing this, Reboot the system.
Link: Visual C++ Redistributable
Delete all temp files
search %TEMP%
delete all
Perform a clean boot.
see How to perform a clean boot in Windows
Install vc_redist.x64
see Download Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
Restart without clean boot
In case nothing of the previous answers worked, add one of these paths to your PATH environment variable:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs\x64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs\x86
Of course, make sure they exist first and that they contain the DLL files needed.
If they don't exist, try installing "Windows Universal CRT SDK" from the Visual Studio 2015 or Visual Studio 2017 installer.
if anybody unable to update windows online, I suggest you go to http://download.wsusoffline.net/ and download Most recent version.
Then install update generator -> select your operating system. and hit START, just wait few minutes let him download updates and complete all it's process. hope this help.
This is old post and I am sorry but even installing of KB2999226 will not help if you don't have April 2014 update rollup for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 (2919355) update package.
Without it the installation of KB2999226 returns error "The update is not applicable to your computer". Typically you will get this problem if you have some offline envinroment for example dev virtual machines without access to the WSUS or Windows Update services and old ISO images of Windows 8.1, Server 2012 R2.

Wanted to know if ADFS 2.0 can be installed on Windows Server 2012? The below link says it can be installed and gives command to install but that command fails throwing the error 'ad-federation-services' is a invalid role.
http://blog.msgeneral.nl/2012/11/installing-and-configuring-adfs-on.html#comment-form
I have also tried installing using the command provided in another link which mentions about installing ADFS 2.1. But it installs ADFS 3.0.
http://www.flexecom.com/install-adfs-2-1-on-windows-server-2012-for-office-365-part-1/
I am verifying the version of ADFS installed using the below link and I cant find FSConfig.exe file.
"jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/gathering-architectural-details-from-your-adfs-infrastructure-adfs-version/"
Is ADFS 2.1 installed on Windows Server 2012 and ADFS 3.0 installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 by default?
Please let me know. Thanks

Yes.

wamp windows xp httpd.exe aestan tray menu

I'm having problems getting WAMPSERVER to run. Let's start with what I do know:
1) I have 32bit windows xp running with a athalon X2 340 Dual. The property menu of my computer says: (the lack of x64 means I'm running 32bits.)
System: Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 Service Package 3
2) I have .NET 4.0, C++ 2008 Redist..., and C++ 2010 Redist... installed (each 32bit).
3) I have tried to install both WAMPSERVER2.5 and WAMPSERVER2.2e. Both give me these errors:
httpd.exe is not a valid win32 application and
Aestan Tray Menu has encountered a problem and needs to close.
The 2.2e version also gives:
mysql.exe is not a valid win32 application
I realize this problem goes back to 2011. I appreciate your patience with it. I have been all over the forums on this one. Nothing seems to work.
I did see this on another form:
The VC11 library (C++ 2012 Redist..) will not run on Windows XP, even
SP3 or Windows Server 2003, so the minimum system requirements to run
WAMPServer 2.5 are: Windows 7 SP1 , Windows 8/8.1 , Windows Vista SP2
, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 , Windows Server 2012/R2.
All help is appreciated. Please keep it constructive guys. Any Ideas? Do you see something I'm doing wrong? Any advanced troubleshooting ideas/ tutorials? workarounds? Thanks! :)

Error when installing SQL Server 2012 Express

When I attempt to install SQL Server 2012 Express, I get an error
However, I have installed service pack 1. BTW, I am using windows 7.
Could someone help me?
My best guess is that you're trying to install 64bit Sql Server on 32bit Windows 7. Other than that, make sure you right click and choose "Run as Administrator" when starting the installer, and that your copy of Windows evaluates as "genuine".
Sql Server also requires .Net and PowerShell, but if either of those were the problem I would expect to see a different error, or even just a prompt to allow them to be included with this installation.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of windbg without having to download the entire 620MB WDK ISO?
All I can find on the net to download the debugger is this link, which says you have to get the whole WDK: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx.
Actually, Microsoft has now made the Debugging Tools downloadable separately from the SDK. Look for the section "Standalone Debugging Tools for Windows (WinDbg)" about mid-page:
for Windows 8.1
for Windows 10
Officially, you can't. But someone's been extracting them for your convenience and hosting them.
Note: You can get the older releases on the official site, but the latest ones are part of the WDK.
If you run winsdk_web.exe from the following link, you can selectively install windbg or extract windbg installer msi.
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=191420
The standalone MSI file of windbg can be downloaded from here. The version is 6.12.0002.633 (x86). http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools/dbg_x86.msi
If you're on Windows 7 x64, the solution provided by Sukesh doesn't work.
I managed to install the debugging tools by downloading the Windows SDK installer for Windows 8 (here), and then choosing "Debugging Tools for Windows" in the installer:
http://codemachine.com/downloads.html
Has all the individual msi files
Try the MSDN archive link at http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/debugtoolswindows/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4912. It has the WinDbg MSI for both 32- and 64-bit (Version 6.12.2.633).
I found both, x64 and x86 version 6.12.0002.633 here:
http://rxwen.blogspot.de/2010/04/standalone-windbg-v6120002633.html
The saga continues with the Windows 10 version. I had to install Win Debug Tools on clean Windows 10 OS with Visual Studio 2015.
To make a long story short, just follow the instructions in the link provided by David Black. After downloading the files, instead of running the SDK installer, browse to the installers directory and execute the msi files directly.
I wonder how many man hours have been lost through the last decade because of MS sloppiness in regards to WDK/SDK installation?
You can also get it from Chocolatey:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/windbg
For Windows 7 x86 you can also download the ISO:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8442
And run \Setup\WinSDKDebuggingTools\dbg_x86.msi
WinDbg.exe will then be installed (default location) to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)
I was looking for the same thing for a quick operation and found this question. I needed both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
This is an older version but the links are from the Microsoft servers, it should be safe. The link for 32-bit version is also in a previous answer but the version number i get on the install is different, maybe the same link is updated with a newer version since 2013.

I tested the 64 bit debugger with a 64 bit program that was compiled some years ago (~2012) and it works. Test is done on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (v2004 Build 19041.207).
WinDbg is now available separately via MS Store. It's called "Preview" but I tested it to analyse some memory dumps and it works fine.
If you're on Windows 10 - launch MS Store, type "WinDbg" in the search box and voi-la - you have it. The download is approx. 100mb. It will downlaod required symbols automatically.
This Microsoft link allows you to select the SDK. When you run the install and only select Windows debugging tools it will only download 288mb and install the tool as stand alone.
