Does anyone know how to install a Vista UPGRADE edition to a virtual machine? Id like to use it for testing with older versions of .NET, but it wont let me install the upgrade version. I'd rather not have to install XP and then Upgrade it. Its a licensed legal copy with CD-Key and all. It just wont install to an empty VM because its an Upgrade version.
Thanks
WARNING: The following does violate your EULA
Install Vista without using a serial number and choose the basic edition and also unselect auto activate.
After install, reinstall and now you can use your serial number and perform an upgrade.
See Paul Thurrot's site for more in depth information.

I am new to server configuration so please help me with this. I have a server with CentOS Linux 7.4.1708 installed on it. I have Webtatic package manager which does not have the PHP 7.4. There is not much on internet regarding it, if webtatic is active or dead. I can either update to Remi or IUS. Since IUS has better security our company is inclined towards IUS. I am trying to look at https://ius.io but couldn't find documentation to install it.
I want to remove webtatic package manager and PHP 7.1. Install IUS and PHP 7.4.
Please help me to install this tech stack. Thank you in advance.
First you have to update to latest CentOS 7.9.2009 to have all expected updates, including lot of security ones.
webtatic seems indeed dead, no activity since October 2019
IUS seems a bit asleep nowadays (see their wishlist... missing extensions, and some outdated versions)
Remi is the most active
Then you have to disable webtatic, by removing the webtatic-release configuration package.
For "Remi", simply follow the Wizard instructions, using "single version", it should take care of the upgrade from webtatic packages
I've downloaded the MySQL installer and tried to run it. On the Check Requirements, MySQL Workbench 8.0.20 is listed. I clicked and got this message in the requirement:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package (x64) is not installed. Latest binary compatible version will be installed if agreed to resolve this requirement.
I click Next and I get:
One or more product requirements have not been satisfied.
I click Yes, and MySQl Workbench is not listed. How do I install?
The intuitive thing is to go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ and select the
Windows (x86, 64-bit), MSI download.
However this failed for me with VS C++ 2019 Redistributable required even after installing the latest version (2015-2019).
So I clicked on
Go to Download Page button which took me to:
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/8.0.html
and selected the 2nd, larger download (the 435MB file at this writing)
Although this is labeled (x86/32-bit), don't be fooled. It includes both versions and will install the 64 bit version on a 64-bit machine.
The following link will download the current installer as of 6/23/2021:
https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-installer-community-8.0.25.0.msi
If you are installing significantly later than 6/23/2021, I suggest you start at
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
to get the latest version.
Update 2023: The installer has a button to "download prerequisites" that opens https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
From there get the MySQL Installer and hit next to go to step 2. There, you can select only the "ODBC Connector" that will also include the redistributable. It is far smaller than the whole MySQL db install (e.g. 20Mb).
I had the same problem when trying to install the 35mb 64bit version. Kept coming back with requiring Visual C++ 2019...
Poking around found that if I went back to the install page and looked around the 32bit version of MySQL, there are two other installs. I chose to install the 405mb MySql Workbench 8 32bit and was able to install successfully. Albeit, mine was an upgrade from 6 to 8.0.20.
Uninstall the previous MYSQL and download the (Windows (x86, 64-bit), ZIP Archive
Debug Binaries & Test Suite) 499Mb version, when the error prompts on the screen simply hit No and execute. If the error persists, you might want to to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistribution manually and then continue the installation again.
Install Microsoft visual C++ X86 or X64 from this link ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 ).
For those seeing this later, I had the same issue with a fresh install of Win11, new PC, and trying to get 8.0.3.1 WB, and got the same dependency error on VC++ 2019. I followed all the same guidance above, and on other threads but it didn't work. The WB installer didn't recognize the VC++ redist pack as being installed.
I went to my old PC, found the old version of VC++ redist, and installed it....voila, WB would install. I used VC++ 14.30.30708, and it worked fine. As of this writing the current version of VC++ redist from the links above, was 14.34.31931
Hope it helps someone.

I am trying to update my canopy (v 1.4.1 (64 bit)) to 1.5 but in the about page it says no updates are found. I would like to avoid re-downloading. Is there a possible work-around?
Sorry for the inconvenience. We have temporarily disabled in-application updates because of extreme server burden from repeated update downloads in a few atypical environments.
At present, to update Canopy, it's necessary to uninstall the application (on Windows use Control Panel; on Mac delete from Applications; on Linux delete the install dir). Then download the Canopy 1.5.1 (or higher) installer from https://store.enthought.com/downloads/, and install it.
Your Canopy User Python environment is in a separate directory and will not be modified unless you separately, explicitly delete it -- in this respect the effects of this Canopy reinstallation are exactly the same as with an in-app Canopy update. Likewise, your preferences and saved sessions will not be affected.
[Edit March 2015]: The server burden vulnerability was fixed in Canopy 1.5.2, released 28 January 2015. After you update to 1.5.2, future updates should again be possible in-application. See https://support.enthought.com/hc/en-us/articles/204469570-Canopy-shows-no-updates-available-reinstalling-from-the-website
Thanks for your patience.

I am going to be moving all my websites to a Windows Web Server 2008 R2 machine. I have installed it in a virtual machine to test that my websites work with it.
I have noticied that there is a program called Web Platform Installer. I have used it to install a few sites but I was just thinking is it a security risk using this? Would it be better for me to manually install the sites (WordPress, Umbraco, etc)
Thanks
We push that out to all our customers just for ease of deployment, and I have not seen any security issues with it, however, I would question its reliability as it fails about 10% of the time (to install whatever I have selected). Having said that, when it does work, its a fairly good tool, as it will install any prerequisites that you may not have been aware of (like SMO, or if you try to install Wordpress without MySQL), and will also keep you up-to-date on newer version of software that you have installed.
