Cannot setup windows 10 machine as developer machine

I have just installed build 10074 and VS2015 RC on a new machine (not VM) and I am trying to start porting some of my phone and tablet apps to Windows 10 Universal. On starting VS2015 I get the message that the computer is not a development machine, and
that I should switch it by going to Settings-Update and Security-For Developers but when I click on For Developers the Settings Panel closes and the machine has not been switched.
This stops me from getting a developer license, and doing any development.is this a bug? Will it be corrected ASAP?

Cannot install Windows 7 on Satelite C50-A-1JR

Hello there,
I cannot install Windows 7 on this machine, even after activating the CMS, when I am on the windows interface tells me there a driver problem.

Can you help me?
Thank you.

>even after activating the CMS, when I am on the windows interface tells me there a driver problem
This means that you were able to start the Windows 7 installation process and the issue isnt related to wrong BIOS settings.
What driver has been mentioned in the error message?
Did you try to boot from original Microsoft Windows 7 disk?

Cannot install windows 8.1 on imac 5k - apple support says "Correct, that machine can't install windows" Boot camp fail

I have a brand new imac 5k, with 4ghz i7, 295x GPU, 3.1TB fusion drive. Bought the machine so I could dual boot - I need windows for VR Dev work.
I've spent the last week and a half on tech support calls with Apple Senior Tech agents, and Microsoft agents as well, and today have been told that indeed this machine cannot run windows 8.1. Apparently Apple engineering knows about the issue, but says the problem is microsoft's. Ugh.
The latest iteration of the issue comes when installing 8.1 onto an external thunderbolt SSD (without even using boot camp) - I go through the EFI installer, convert the drive to GPT, format it as ntfs, but when I select the partition to install onto, the installer says it can't find the partition it just created. Smuh?
I've also tried the install through boot camp. This installation actually worked twice, but the install was unstable. After booting back into osX, then returning to Windows, the windows install went corrupt and couldn't be repaired. Subsequent attempts to install windows yielded a flurry of different errors, including "windows doesn't support GPT in this mode" or "the disk is locked, please unlock the disk" or "MBR must be converted to GPT" (where once I converted to GPT, the drive could no longer be found, despite the operation completing successfully.)
At any rate, it's a huge mess. I'd happily return the machine for a different config, but the company I bought it from will only swap it for a similar model -- so I've spent a pile on a machine that does not function as advertised; apple says "too bad, talk to Microsoft." Microsoft says "too bad, we've never seen this, this is an apple issue."
Has anyone out there gotten windows up and running on an iMac5k with fusion drive? If so, did you have to go through a crazy maze to make it work?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
MC

After much gnashing of teeth, and a half dozen support calls, I'd all but given up. I finally seem to have solved this though - sort of - by installing windows 8.1 on boot camp on an older iMac, then cloning the bootcamp disk to an external thunderbolt drive via Winclone. That worked seamlessly, sticking to winclone's instructions, and I can boot via EFI to Windows 8.1 on the new iMac. So far so good.
I usually install W8.1 via EFI by using DU and a Free Space partition. The 3TB Fusion is first split into the underlying SSD/HDD physicals. OSX and Windows OSes are installed on SSD via EFI (no BCA). The OSX part and half the HDD are then used to create a new CS volume. The other HDD half becomes NTFS for non-Windows OS files. The Hybrid MBR method is completely unsatisfactory with the 3TB Fusion drive.
How is the TB/Winclone image for performance of the OS (since pagefile.sys is also on the TB)?

Trying to install a setup on a 64 bit machine with Windows server 2012 R2 which writes to registry FAILES

My msi is a 32 bit setup.
When I install it on a 32 bit machine with Windows XP it works fine .
I tried to install it on a 64 bit machine with windows server 2008 and it succeeds
While running my setup on a 64 bit machine with Windows server 2012 R2 it failes and I get the folloawing message:
"Registry object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Then the setup exits and leaves the app partially installed
I tried searching for known problems over the net, but found nothing
I will be happy to get some advice
Thanks
Liora

Sounds like you are trying to update a registry object that is not there.
Is this your own msi, or is it from a third party application? If third party, check with them to see if they support it on 2012 or if they have a known workaround.
If it is your own msi, sounds like it is time to debug it.

Accessing physical floppy disk drive from Windows 8.1 host machine to Windows XP SP3 hyper-v?

Hi there!
Could someone help up me? I just wanted to ask if it's possible for a hyper-v to access a physical "floppy diskette" drive?
Here's my setup: I have a Windows 8.1 as my host and Windows XP SP3 as the virtual machine. I would need to access the contents of the physical floppy diskette drive from the Windows XP SP3 vm. This is needed, because, currently our customer is still using
floppy disk drives, to most of their in-house applications. I tried to open Drive A: inside Windows XP SP3 VM while the physical diskette from the Windows 8.1 is inserted. But then again, it cannot directly access the contents. Also, I tried to use "virtual
floppy drives" and copy the files from the diskette. But for some reason, their applications do not support it. I did check device manager in Windows XP SP3 vm, but i cannot see the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" option inside the VM.
Please help!!! Thank you!
All the best,
MS CAMPer

HI Carey, thanks for this, But this is under System Center Virtual Machine Manager. I already saw this a while ago.
Anyway, is there a way for Windows XP VM to access a physical floppy diskette drives inserted to Windows 8.1 host machine? I dont intend to use Virtual floppy disks. Only Physical ones.
Please please. Need your help guys! :( Thank you!

"cannot complete windows setup" Windows xp mode on Windows 7 professional

I am currently having a problem loading windows xp mode on windows 7 professional on my new laptop
Laptop specs
LENOVO
Processor: AMD A6-5350M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Grapihcs 2.90 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.15 GB usable)
System type: 64-bit Operating System

experiencing the same issues you are describing on what appears to be the same model of computer. Can anyone provide additional information on applying the suggested hotfix?
@Rick Dee - After installing both XP mode and Virtual PC service pack on the computer XP mode appears in the list of Virtual Machines. After running through the initial set up of the VM (Windows XP Mode) listed in ~/<user>/virtual machines, the
setup of the VM fails with the error, "cannot complete windows setup".
I use a vhd that I deploy to all my client computers to run XP mode. I have deployed this vhd on at least 5 other laptops with the same specs from the same manufacturer. On this particular machine though, when I tried to deploy this vhd, the
vm just hangs. So I have been trying to install the distributed copy of Windows XP mode from Microsoft. When I do this, I get the error.

Hi baftos,
I tried to telnet remote windows machine from my local machine on port 23, its not connected and given error message like "Connect failed".
As your response, if we can telnet to remote windows machine from local machine then we can connect from Java. Is it correct ?.
Can you please help me to resolve this issue. And also please confirm the port (23) is correct, which I was used to connect remote machine from telnet.

After I install itunes my windows 7 - 64 bit machine will not boot and I have to use Restore to boot with a date before I installed itunes

After I install itunes on my windows 7 - 64 bit machine it will not reboot and I need to restore to a date before itunes was install. How do I fix this?

I'm having a very similar issue, paired with iTunes not being able to get online.
iTunes shows up in processes and then hangs at 17,000 K or so -- sometimes it will start up, but that (if it occurs) is a delay of literal hours.
Pretty meticulously went through all the 'cannot connect' trouble shooting, and have uninstalled, restarted, and then reinstalled every piece of apple software; issue is just as firm. Starting in safe mode or admin mode don't fix it; signing in as a different user doesn't fix it.

Windows in a virtual machine

Hi,
my new X200s comes with Vista Business preloaded and 3 CDs marked as "Windows XP Rescue and Recovery Disc", and "Windows XP Professional SP2 Product Recovery Disc 1 & 2", respectively. I want to repartition the disk, deleting Vista in the process, to install 64-bit Ubuntu linux, and then to install Windows XP either in VMware or VirtualBox virtual machine. The question is, are the provided CDs sufficient to make an XP installation in a virtual machine?
Thanks for any hints.
Jakub
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, you cannot install XP in a virtual machine with the restore discs supplied with your machine. You will need a regular XP install cd and a valid key number. This has to do with the fact that the restore cd's would see a generic virtual machine BIOS instead of the actual Lenovo BIOS and refuse to install.

Issue with Oracle service bus installation on Windows 7 64 bit machine

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle service bus 11.1.1.4 in Windows 7 64 bit machine for which i have downloaded the generic installers of both weblogic server and Oracle service bus. As per the instructions -
1. Install JDK 1.6
2. Install Weblogic server
3.Install Eclipse separately (In my case Galileo 11.1.1.5 64 bit) - Just unzip the contents in the home directory where weblogic server is installed
4. Install OSB
I have installed all the above 1,2,3 in the same folder as per the instructions. But when i try to install OSB which asks for eclipse home location. But when i give the eclipse home location, it gives an error ""Home location is invalid" and i am unable to proceed with the installation.
I have tried this with OSB 11.1.1.5 as well and have the same issue.
Does anyone has any links which provides the steps to install OSB in Windows 7 64 bit machines or if someone can help me to resolve the above issue ?
I really appreciate any information on this as it is urgent.
Thanks

I have installed OEPE 11.1.1.6.1 now in the same middleware home as weblogic server but when i try to install OSB 11.1.1.4 in the same middleware home, it asks for OEPE home location. Even though i provide the OEPE home location , it displays as "invalid oepe home location".
I have been struggling to get this sorted out so that i can carry out IDE development in OSB 11.1.1.4
Below are the paths where sfotware are installed -
JDK - C:\Oracle\Middleware\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
Weblogic server - C:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3
OEPE - C:\Oracle\Middleware\oepe-galileo-all-in-one-11.1.1.6.0.201007221355-win32-x86_64

Sharing p4014n printer on windows 7 machine with XP machine

I have installed a Laserjet P4014n on a new Windows 7 machine with the USB connection - I allowed it to detect and install the drivers automatically. The printer works great on the Win7 machine.
I shared the printer and would now like to have an XP machine also be able to use it for printing. However when I add a printer and I browse out to the shared printer on the Win7 machine, the XP machine gives the error: "The server for the HP LaserJet P4014/P4015 PCL6 printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver click OK. Otherwise click Cancel..." I tried to find the correct driver (.INF) file on the CD that came with the printer, but it does not seem to like any of the files on the CD.
I have tried to install on the XP machine the drivers using the CD that came with the printer, but because there is not a printer connected, it will not install. I have also downloaded the XP drivers (PCL6 and Universal Printer Drivers for PCL5 and PCL6) for the printer from the HP website, and tried to browse to those when installing the drivers but it still cannot find a file it likes.
What file should I be looking for on the CD or downloaded files for XP?
I also tried to add additional drivers on the Win7 machine but again can not find a file that installs from the CD or downloaded files.

i am having the same problem. the printer is installed on a new windows 7 computer and we are trying to share it to a windows vista computer. did you figure out how to get it to work?! we r getting very frustrated!!

Getting "querypanel.dll failed to register" on Windows 7 32 bit machine

Trying to move from CR 2008 SP2 to CR 2008 SP3.
For the CR 2008 SP2 version of our application, which runs our Crystal .rpt files, we used Visual Studio 2005. we then created a Visual Studio .msi file, using the merge module (CRRuntime_12_2), to install this application on a target machine that had .NET Framework 2.0 and VC++ Redistributable 2005 SP1 installed. If these two latter prerequisites were not installed, our install would fail because the CEReportSource.dll could not be registered.
After installing CR SP3 on my development machine, we created a new Visual Studio project, again using Visual Studio 2005. I used CRRuntime_12_3 as the merge module and everything else was the same.
I was getting this same error message "CEReportSource.dll failed to register" when I attempt to install the SP3 version of the app on the very same machine on which I previously successfully installed the SP2 version. I found an answer in these forums to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 update. Even this did not help. When I installed MS VC++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17, finally the problem of "CEReportSource.dll failed to register" went away on XP and Vista machines.
Now I am trying to install my program on Windos 7 32 bit machine and I get "querypanel.dll failed to register".
Q1. By installing S VC++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17, the problem of "CEReportSource.dll failed to register" did not occur. Is this the right thing to do. I am not sure why VC++ 2005 SP1 did not fix the issue.
Q2.What do we need in order to prevent "querypanel.dll failed to register" error on Windows 7 32 bit machine.
Thanks for your time.

Moved to .NET SDK forum.
Search here, lots of info on distribution. Likely caused by MS updated the C++ runtime to include security updates. Go to MS's site and download the latest C++ distribution package with enhanced security.
If you use the CR MSI package rather than the Merge Modules it should work.
Thank you
Don

Can't install Captivate 3 on Windows 7 64-bit machine

When I try to install it using the installer (even setup calls the installer) it looks like it's installing until the very end. Then it suddenly rolls back it's changes and ends up not installing the software (btw, this does not have an issue on a Windows 7 32-bit machine). Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how did you get around it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for the response. I figured out what the issue was. Even though I was saying "runas Administrator" for some reason it still wasn't able to run. I then logged on as Administrator and was able to install it without issue. The only problem I have now is it won't let me activate the product because it wants me to deinstall it from the pc it was running on and that pc is about to die and won't let me deinstall it from there (it's a very very old xp pro desktop). Any ideas?
