Add/Remove Question

I've browsed through the forums and Faqs, but the answer I'm looking for isn't clear and most of the terms used here are nothing more than a foreign language.
I have one simple question...
Under my Add/ Remove Programs listing, there are 3 entries for Java:
- Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04
- Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_05
- Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_06
Are all of these required, or can the earlier versions safely be removed without harming the program?
Thank you,
LisaDarln

They are separate versions of the same program. Any of them can be removed without affecting the others. The 1.4.2_06 is the latest version.
However, you may have other applications that require a specific version to run, and removal of that version would then cause the dependent application to fail.
If so, the removed version could be reinstalled.

Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

Hi,
I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
(https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

Removing Acrobat 9 Standard from my pc's Add/Remove screen

My pc is on Windows XP Professional.
I am unable to remove "Acrobat 9 Standard" application from my PC's "Add Remove Programs" screen. The application shows up in the list and when I select the Add/Remove option I get this message. The program is not now on my PC.
"This action is only provided for products that are currently installed".
I tried the Acrobat Tech support suggestion:
To use the microsoft special products removal program. Microsoft has since removed that program (because of technical difficulties it's use caused) and Microsoft now suggest that I use the normal Add/Remove procedure for removing a software package from my pc. That process does not work.
Note: Acrobat 9 Standard was removed originally, but the program was still displayed on the Add/Remove screen. Now I want the program to go away from my Add/Remove Screen and do not know hot to make it happen.
Help?

When i click on the webcam, it says device is not found. it is in my add/remove section.

My webcam was showing a black screen when I would try to use it (it's integrated). So I checked out some forums and ended up disabling it and now it has disappeard. I have the icon, but it says that there is no device. It shows up in my add/remove. I have uninstalled and installed multiple times. I have tried to repair it. I think I am missing an image driver. Nothing installs successfully.
This question was solved.

Very strange, it is more secure to be a driver problem, try to find the latest version but not from the HP website but for the hardware ID from the manufacturer's website. Also check the power options, the system may "turn off" the webcam to save energy.

How can i remove an unwanted toolbar in xp already used uninstall in add/remove but it's still there

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/805257]''
i stupidly installed incredimail...Have removed it and the toolbar in add/remove. But the toolbar is still there, along with 2 others i never asked for, or even know what they are...Windows xp

Hi peahen,
Most toolbars are just add-ons. I would try going to ''Tools >Add-ons>Extension'' and removing it from there. You might need to restart Firefox afterwards, but that should be all it takes.
Hopefully this helps!

How to uninstall ff 5.0 in xp when it's not showing in add-remove

After installing FF 5.0 the remove option doesn't show in the Control Panel Add-Remove feature.
Question: How to remove FF manually?

Hi D60,
maybe 5 years ago there was no "accept solution" button or maybe the OP never came back to this thread or was too lazy to accept a solution?
To make that thread complete:
- all NI software is listed under "National Instruments" in the Software system settings
- the tool you're talking about is named "msiblast" and can be found here in the forum or by asking NI support

Windows 7 Bug: Add/remove program list not populating correctly

Hi,
I'm missing programs in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs (Windows 7 Ultimate CZ). I've noticed it yesterday. I've been googling for several hours but I haven't found a solution. There are many discussion about the problem, but none of them helped.
Can Microsoft people resolve the bug?

Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
See:
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/The-Language-bar-overview - The Language bar (overview)
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
* Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
* You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
* Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
* You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
* The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
* To avoid an unintentional switch, assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift)

Firefox is not available in C:\Program Files and in Add/Remove Programs

I am trying to run an Oracle application which is currently installed in one of our user's PCs, but when we try to generate a report it would fail to do so as Mozilla Firefox is installed on the system and I believe it is set as the default browser. I tried to uninstall it as it is not required anymore, but to my shock I didn't find it in Add\Remove Programs list and also not in C:\Program Files. I tried installed Windows Clean-Up utility, but the application doesn't exist there either. I want to remove Mozilla completely, can someone please help?!! By the way, I also deleted the Mozilla files under the Application Data of all user accounts on that machine; still no luck.

I believe that it's a good idea to leave them be JUST in case they installed a dependency that a new application is using.
This isn't exactly likely but it could happen.
When I'm uninstalling applications I use a tool called
Revo Uninstaller which finds files and registry entries that applications might leave behind.
Will your machine explode and Windows stop booting? Probably not.
Are these left-over files destroying your Hard Drive capacity? Again, Probably not.
Basically, I can't think of much of a reason to delete them so I think it's decent to leave them just in case, but again it probably wont do any damage. Running an third-party application like
CCleaner is also good practice and could likely delete some of the unwanted/unneeded files and crud like that.
Also, most application settings are usually present in the C:\Users\UserAccount\Application Data\ and not in the Program Files or Program Data.
Goodluck bud,
Any questions or concerns feel free to let me know.

Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software during a terminal service remote session.

Hello
I have been trying to install Office 2010 Pro Plus onto a Server 2003 Terminal Services server. We have an OVS license and I have followed all the procedures (and variations) noted in
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff506201.aspx . However, we still get the error message 'Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software
during a terminal service remote session.' when users logon via an RDP session. If they logon locally, the applications start without problem. I have tried the manual and .msp setup, installed via the 'Add\Remove Programs, install using the command line with
'Change User /install' and then 'Change User /execute'. None of this stops the message and allows the users to use Office via TS.
Is there a step missing from the Technet site that I need to get the users working?
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
Thank you

This has not fixed my issue. I still get the message "Only administrators have permission to add, remove, or configure server software during a terminal service remote session". If I add the user into the local admins group. When I login as the
user in question or any user onto the server in question the message above appears.
When I run Lync from the shortcut on the remote drive it works. But when I run it from the desktop and start menu it displays the above error. I spoke to Ctrix who have said that it is a permissions issue. I have checked and all permissions seem to be the
same.
Please can you help?

Je ha, auto add/remove machine?

Cloud servers such as Amazon ec2 have the ability to start/stop machines easily.
Can I add/remove machines for ha groups automatically? And how to decide when to do that?

I haven't asked this yet so, do you already have an application built on top of JE HA? How many nodes are there in the replication group? Are you observing a good throughput in the application (for read and write operations) and implicitly a reduced latency in response times?
There's no guide or documentation material covering what exact information you should be looking for when deciding whether there's a need to add or remove a replication node.
JE HA is a single master/writer - multiple clients/readers HA system, so adding a node to a replication group increases the ability of the group to do reads, and makes additional copies of the data, which makes it more secure. Though, it does nothing for writes.
The decision to add a node to a replication group (generically, not necessarily for a JE HA rep group), aside the infrastructure, network partitions, bandwidth, hardware availability, replication factor etc criteria, should be governed by the expected response time for a read operation (the time it takes a node, replica nodes or master node, to service a query). This is something the application should monitor and when the read request's response time increases above an allowed limit, you could add a new (replica) node. Of course, all of this revolves around load balancing the read requests, which is a good use case for using a Monitor node in the rep group that routes requests (both write and read requests) and balances the read requests between the replicas.
Another criteria for deciding to add a new node can be the availability of enough replicas to satisfy the durability and consistency policies.
CPU/mem/disk info are outside of JE's ability to obtain -- there are system tools that you can use to collect such info. Replication related information can be obtained in JE through the ReplicatedEnvironmentStats and through the monitoring and diagnostic JMX MBeans RepJEMonitor and RepJEDiagnostics (or the RepJEJConsole JConsole Plugin).
Though, what you really need to do at this stage is to see what the latency and throughput is, at the application level. Plus there's the question of load balancing, so you need to be aware that you have to spread the reads among different nodes.
You should also your system stats. Are the replicas loaded to the max or not? If they're very loaded in terms of CPU and I/O, maybe you need more rep nodes.
Whereas for removing, you could remove a node from a rep group if for example the master spends too much time to achieve a durability ack policy (ReplicatedEnvironmentStats.getAckWaitMs() might be useful in this case) or if the replica node is lagging the master too much (compared to the other replica nodes -- ReplicatedEnvironmentStats.getTrackerLagConsistencyWaitMs() is relevant).

Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall. Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all. tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

So I tried to update to the newest Itunes. It locked up my computer part way thru the install. Black screen, computer turned itself off. Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down. I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist. the other apple programs do, but no itunes. when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded. I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs. however, i can open itunes. it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall. So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it??? I'm out of ideas. running windows vista.

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro cc on my laptop, but I cant find a way to start the program. No Icon, and it is not showing up in the start meny. It is showing up in add/remove programs, but nt anywhere else.

If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search. Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter. You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type. Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar. I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing. Press enter when you see a match.
Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth. For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight. Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.
