• Problem with downloading UnityHub: Installation aborted. Installation did not complete successfully

• Anaconda Navigator not appearing after installation (Windows 10)

  I've been trying to install the newest version of Anaconda on my computer running W10. The installation seems to work fine, but after it is done I can't get the Navigator (or anything else) to open. I created a folder named C:\Anaconda and installed there, to avoid issues with spaces in the name. Even going into that folder after installation and directly clicking the anaconda navigator file doesn't do anything - a window that looks like a command prompt very briefly flashes open and shuts down, with no error messages or anything.

  I have tried restarting, changing where it is installed, and turning off my firewall. No success with any of them - what's my next steps?
• WIX: Property value doesn't change from Publish element

  I have created the following property:

  <Property Id="InstallationType" Value="InstallComplete" ></Property> 
  

  I tried to change this property value according do button clicked in the UI:

  <Control Id="TypicalButton" Type="PushButton" X="40" Y="65" Width="100" Height="37" ToolTip="!(loc.SetupTypeDlgTypicalButtonTooltip)" Default="yes" Text="!(loc.SetupTypeDlgTypicalButton)" IconSize="48" Property="InstallationType">
     <Publish Property="WixUI_InstallMode" Value="InstallTypical">1</Publish>
     <Publish Property="InstallationType" Value="InstallTypical" >1</Publish>
     <Publish Event="SetInstallLevel" Value="1">1</Publish>
  </Control>
  

  And then to include a feature depends on the property value:

  <Feature Id="test" Title="test" Level="0" >
    <ComponentGroupRef Id="CompilationHeadset" />
    <Condition Level="1">InstallationType="InstallTypical"</Condition>
  </Feature>
  

  The problem is that when I click the "TypicalButton" it doesn't include the feature so I'm understand for it that the condition is false because the property value doesn't changed as it should be.

  What I am doing wrong?
• WIX custom action on failure not stopping the installation

  Hello all I have gone through this article where they have written custom action by writing the entered values from the UI https://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2014/02/07/add-custom-dialogs-wix-installer/ I have update the custom action as follows

  [CustomAction]
      public static ActionResult SaveUserInfo(Session session)
      {
          string name = session["FULLNAMEProperty"];
          string email = session["EMAILProperty"];
          if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(name) && string.IsNullOrEmpty(email))
              return ActionResult.Failure;
  
          string appdataPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
          if (!Directory.Exists(appdataPath + "\\Win App"))
              Directory.CreateDirectory(appdataPath + "\\Win App");
  
          File.WriteAllText(appdataPath + "\\Win App\\registrationInfo.txt", name + "," + email);
  
          return ActionResult.Success;
      }
  

  But this is not stopping the user, installation is getting succeed. Also how can I show the dialog to open and run the application after successful installation and choose the directory instead of the default directory
• Wix - On upgradation of software, older version's registry is not getting removed

  Previously Installshield was being used to create install and now I started using wix. I am new to wix and facing issue related to registry entry.

  Lest say v1 = install created using install shield and v2 = install created using wix.

  When v1 is already installed on machine and then if I try to upgrade using v2 install, all files, shortcuts of v1 gets deleted but registry doesn't. Because of this, entry of previous install is still shown in "Control Panel Items\Programs and Features". And ultimately entries of both v1 and v2 remains in the system.

  Not sure what am I missing here. Upgrade codes of both v1 and v3 are equal.

  <Product Id="$(var.Product_GUID)" Name="$(var.Product_FullName)" Language="1033" UpgradeCode="$(var.Upgrade_GUID)"
                 Version="$(var.VersionNumber)" Manufacturer="$(var.ManufacturerName)">

• .NET Assembly.Load/LoadFrom fails if calling it within a windows service .net executable

  Hi Devs!

  I'm currently a bit lost in loading a specific assembly using "Assembly.Load" or "Assembly.LoadFrom" within my WPF application during runtime.

  Loading the assembly during runtime works if i just run the executable!

  But it throws an exception "FileNotFoundException, Could not load file or assembly .. or one of it dependencies.." if I load the same assembly the same way with my WPF application running as windows service (under LocalSystem).

  processInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
  processInstaller.Username = null;
  processInstaller.Password = null;
  

  The assembly causing the exception is called "Siemens.Sinumerik.Operate.Services.Wrapper.dll" which is referenced by "Siemens.Sinumerik.Operate.Services.dll".

  -> 3rd party assembly - no source available and for me it seems the wrapper is a mixed cli/c++ assembly.

  Now after some research to this issue, I found out that .e.g maybe the lookup directory for assemblies is "C:\windows\system32" instead of the folder where the exceutable is stored. Or to take "fuslogvw" to narrow down the issue.

  However its not my first project loading assemblies during runtime for some execution. Only thing is i never loaded a mixed "cli/c++" assembly during runtime -> There may be any known issues or something i may miss to load the "cli/c++" assembly correctly ?

  Here is the code i use to load the assembly (either from file or gac)

  LoadAssembly("Siemens.Sinumerik.Operate.Services"); // this assembly references the wrapper
  LoadAssembly("Siemens.Sinumerik.Operate.Services.Wrapper, Version=4.8.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bdd90fa02fd1c4ee", false); // load the wrapper from GAC using AssemblyName -> Exception only in service
  LoadAssembly("Siemens.Sinumerik.Operate.Services.Wrapper"); // load the wrapper from file using AssemblyName -> Exception only in service
  

  LoadAssembly is checking whether the AssemblyName is already loaded in the current AppDomain and if not, its getting loaded either using GAC or FileSystem (depends on 2nd parameter "loadFromFile" of function LoadAssembly).

  Thus it uses either "Assembly.Load(assemblyName); // from gac" or "Assembly.LoadFrom(file); // from file"

  What I have tried to fix the issue:

  • Referencing the dynamically loaded assemblys to the main-project with the hope the application is able to load the wrapper assembly into the AppDomain during startup -> fail

  • changing current directory to the path where the wrapper assembly dll is stored -> fail

  • hooking up all AssemblyLoad and Resolve events and trying to load using "Assembly.Load" -> fail

  • compared the AppDomains used either for the Service and the normal Executable -> seems both are liky the same didnt see any special difference between them) -> fail

  • using "fuslogvw" to get some Assembly-Binding information which may indicates any error -> fail (see logs below)

  Additionally I used "fuslogvw" to find out what the hell is going wrong for the wrapper, but i dont get any clue as the log shows the same result as if I just run the normal executable (which works not as service) Here is the log "Siemens.Sinumerik.Operate.Services.Wrapper, Version=4.8.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bdd90fa02fd1c4ee.HTM":

  I hope someone can help me narrowing down the loading issue with the Wrapper assembly :) or have any other ideas what i can do else..

  Thank you so far!! Let me know if you need some futher information!
• Windows service to run set of dependent process in multicore processor

  I need to implement a windows service which will perform the following steps in sequence :

  1. Read from "Pending" table in SQL.
  2. Fetch the pending records from above step 1.
  3. Do some validation on the fetched records and some internal processing.
  4. The final prepared data will be stored in a table in SQL for consumption of another process.

  Now, the windows service will be hosted in the machine where the processor has four cores.

  Can I write my windows service using TPL in such a way that all the four cores can be utilised to process the above steps.

  Following is the snapshot of Pending table.

  

  All the records need to be processed as mentioned in above steps (1-4).

  Now the records of the Pending tables will be distributed among the four cores and processing will be done. Using TPL can this be achieved ?

  Currently using thread this I have written this.

    private void RunWorkers(IEnumerable<IWorker> workers)
      {
          _logger.Debug(APP_AREA, "Running Workers");
  
          foreach (var worker in workers)
          {
              worker.Run();
          }
      }
  
      private IList<IWorker> CreateWorkers()
      {
          _logger.Debug(APP_AREA, "Creating Workers");
  
          var workers = new List<IWorker>();
         for (int workerId = 0; workerId != _Environment.ProcessorCount ; workerId++)

  But I want to implement the same using TPL feature of .NET framework. I am very new to TPL . Following the link Basic design pattern for using TPL inside windows service for C# for the start/stop of the service. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
• How to rename the base file element name under component during hotfix using windows installer?

  In base version of my setup, by mistakenly i added the same name for two files like:

  <component id="x" GUID="guid value">
  <file id="x" source="c:\files\x.dll" name="x.dll">
  </component>
  <component id="y" GUID="another guid value">
  <file id="y" source="c:\files\y.dll" name="x.dll">
  </component>
  

  Now I want to change the name to "y.dll" for the file with id="y" using HotFix.

  If we change the name directly, the compiler error has been thrown "Component "y" has a changed keypath in the transform 'C:\Patches\diff.wixmst'. Patches cannot change the keypath of a component.

  Please suggest me know how to change the file name using hotfix?

• In my Windows WiX Installer my Custom Actions don't run

  I want to have the installer/uninstaller remove a folder that contains content generated by the application at run time. I figured a Custom Action would be the way to go.

  We are using WiX 3.6.

  (I want it in the installer sequence for a specific reason that is not important to this question.)

  Here is my CustomAction definitions in the xml:

  <Binary Id="CustomActionLib" SourceFile="$(var.CustomActionLibrary.TargetDir)$(var.CustomActionLibrary.TargetName).CA.dll" />
  <CustomAction Id="DeleteLocalizedCA" Impersonate="yes" BinaryKey="CustomActionLib" DllEntry="DeleteLocalized" Return="check" />
  <CustomAction Id="DeleteResourcesCA" Impersonate="yes" BinaryKey="CustomActionLib" DllEntry="DeleteResources" Return="check" />
  

  Here are my references to them:

  <InstallExecuteSequence>
    <Custom Action="DeleteLocalizedCA" Before="InstallFiles"/>
    <FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" />
    <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
    <RemoveShortcuts>Installed AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</RemoveShortcuts>
  </InstallExecuteSequence>
  
  <InstallUISequence>
    <Custom Action="DeleteLocalizedCA" Before="InstallFiles"/>
    <FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" />
  </InstallUISequence>
  

  I added the CustomActionLibrary project to the solution and added a reference to it from the installer project but it never runs, I never see it in the logs, nothing!

  And thus my question, Why Don't my WiX Custom Actions Run?
