Pop-up 'Another instance is running. Configuration system failed to initialize.'

Hello - my system kept 'freezing' when a pop-up saying, ' Silverlight Plug-in has crashed' with options to repair or close. No matter what I did, t happened several times an hour, as well as the page and pointer freezing just as frequently. Often the only solution was to turn off the computer with the on/off button. Someone at work told me to delete the plug-in and I did and the problem stopped for a few days. Now, the plug-in has reappeared on the notebook, but less frequently, and the a/n pop-up comes on when I start the notebook. I suspect this action is related to what I unsuccessfully deleted. My screen and pointer are freezing less often. I appreciate opinions on how to correct this darned annoying problem.

Hi Steve,
>>Error message is "Configuration system failed to initialize". The popup window has the title "visual studio tools for office solution installer"
For this issue, I would recommend you try to uninstall/reinstall the VSTO runtime. The link below might be useful to you:

If the method above do not work, I will recommend you install the excel add-in in the developing machine with the USB to check whether it could work correctly. If it could not install correctly, I assume that there might be something wrong when you
publish, and could you share us the steps you published? If it works correctly, I assume that it caused by the environment of another pc, it would be helpful if you could share us the screen shoot about details error message.

"Configuration system failed to initialize" when trying to connect FM12 to Sharepoint

Adding a connection to Sharepoint using the FM12 CMS Connection Manager is failing with the error "Configuration system failed to initialize". I can access all the sites and libraries in Sharepoint perfectly from IE on the same PC, but no matter what I try in the FM12 Connection Manager I get the above mentioned error. The PC (which is actually a VM) is running Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64 with heaps of RAM and HDD free) with all updates applied. FM12 is installed as part of Technical Comms Suite 5 subscription.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this (or what it even means) and how I can fix it?

Configuration system failed to initialize

Getting error when I try to install an excel addin that I have published.
Error message is "Configuration system failed to initialize". The popup window has the title "visual studio tools for office solution installer"
To publish the addin I use the publish option on the build menu of VS2013.
Specify the location to publish this application: F:\publish where F: is a USB drive.
What is the default installation path on end user computers: From a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
Then I take the USB drive to another PC, double click on setup.exe in the USB drive and get the "configuration system failed to initialize" error. I copy the entire publish directory to the C: drive of the target system and get the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks,

The error "configuration system failed to initialize" occurred

Hi
When I converted and built the solution file that was developed by Visual Studio .net 2003 using Visual Studio 2005, the application program was abnormal-ended at the following step:
m_TCPChannel = New System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp.TcpChannel(tcp_properties, Nothing, Nothing)
The error message was "configration system failed to initialize". The Exception.ToString said that the root <configuration> tag was not included in the configuration file. Therefore, I changed <configopt> tag to <configuration>
tag in the app.config file of the target project, and then executed again. Next time, the application program was abnormal-ended by the unrecognized section <xs:schema>. Therefore, I changed the app.config file to the simple one (only <configuration>
and </configuration> tags), and then executed again. The error didn't occur. I guess that it's caused by configuration settings. Please advise.
app.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Since your issue occurred on the converted project from VS .net 2003 to VS2005, and VS2005 is out of
our mainstream support , I suggest that you should consult on some development forums to check whether they will to provide some suggestions or
submit a support ticket to below site,
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?Gprid=1117&st=1&wfxredirect=1&sd=gn&wfxredirect=1

A pop up says that the "... application failed to initialize" and give options to close it or fix it but none work.

While I working with or surfing with Firefox and I stop working for a few minutes, 2 to 5 min, a pop up show up saying that the "application failed to initialize..." It gives two options, to cancel it or fix it. none of then work, and to make the pop up go away I just click the "X" to close it. It works and puts Firefox back to work. On the upper left corner of the pop up it shows the name of the file as "Firefox.exe" How can I stop this pop up? What is the problem? Thanks for your help,

CC Updater - U44M1I11 Another Instance is Running

Seems like just last month I was struggling with this problem with CS6. Oh wait, I was:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5753380#5753380
So now I'm back with CC. Installed all the programs today. Hit Update and of course Photoshop, Premiere, and Audition failed their Updates. Error this time was:
There was an error installing this update. Please try again or contact customer support. (U44M1|11)
I see that root spawns the Adobe Application Manager (Updater) process when I hit the Update button. Then the update fails.
Here's the end of the log file from /Library / / Adobe Setup Error.log
11/08/13 13:52:02:164 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 11968 |

11/08/13 13:52:02:165 | [INFO] | | OOBE | DE | | | | 11968 | Please see specific errors for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW037 ...
What's the fix, Adobe? Don't send me to:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-u44m1p7-installing-updates-ccm.html
I've already done that stuff. I'm so aggravated with this auto updater, it just doesn't work out of the box. This is a brand new 10.9 system, nothing else on it, except for CC, and it won't run it's updates after it's been installed.

Should have waited a few more minutes before posting the above issue. I fixed it, but the workaround is pretty poor. Adobe, you have problems with the root user spawning the updater's processes. Simple as that.
Here's my fix:
Enable the root user and give it a password in the Directory Utility (Users Groups/Login Options/Network Account Server/Open Directory Utility)
Curse Adobe for forcing you to enable the root user and thus provide another attack vector on your machine
Open Terminal
su to become the root user
Navigate to /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Adobe Photoshop CC.app/Contents/MacOS
Run Photoshop as root by using ./Adobe Photoshop CC
Photoshop yelled at me for a password to run something when it started up, I ignored it
Use the Update... option in the Help menu.
Note in Activity Manager that this has been spawned by Root
Check off the boxes of programs you want to update, let the updater run. You will have to close out of Photoshop and then quit it by hitting Control C in your Terminal window
You may also have to go into Activity Manager and Force Quit the logtranspot2 process.
Wait for the update to complete
Quit Terminal
Quit and re-open the Creative Cloud app and verify all the programs show as "Up to Date"
Disable the root user
Curse Adobe for forcing you to do this every time you want to update your Creative Cloud programs. It's not very convienent.
So anyway, there's your fix. Hope it saves someone else a few hours of aggravation.

Migrate Spatial data to another instance

i intend to port Oracle Spatial to another instance and get stucked.
1. can not export/transfer sdo_geom_metadata_table from mdsys
Try exp on mdsys, Oracle complains invalid username....
Try database link, Oracle complains about remote access of user-defined datatype...
2. when import Oracle Spatial data to another instance, most of the indexes failed to be created.
Not just spatial indexes, even some indexes on attributes are not created.
Is it caused by (1) ?
jc

James,
If you export the schema with the spatial data in it the export file contains also the registration for the metadata .
The failing of the creation of the indexes most likely occurs by the fact the tablespace name of the original database is different from the target database.
You can with the import utility create a indexfile. This file contains all the index create commands. In this file you can correct the tablespace name.

Tried to upgrade from firefox 3.6.2 to 3.6.3, error message says another instance of firefox is running, then 3.6.2 opens. This occurs when i start firefox after restarting the computer, or when i try to install the upgrade

Whenever i try to open firefox, i get a message that firefox cannot install the upgrade because another instance of firefox is running. Then firefox 3.6.2 will start. running windows 7 64 bit. This will occur every time i try to open firefox, after rebooting or any time i close it and reopen firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I Ok'd the upgrade from 3.6.2 to 3.6.3

Do a clean (re)install and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Camera Raw Update Error "Another instance of Updater is running" CS5

Hey, tried to open Raw files in cs5 today on a Rebel t3i I just got. Recieved error saying I needed to update raw plugin, knew it was gonna have to be done eventually. Been using a 50D for a long time without a problem.
When I go to update the plugin I immediately get the error stating another instance of the updater is running. Can't be true. Nothing in task manager, restarted program and computer, no other users on this computer...what the hell?
Live chat was useless, any ideas here?
Edit: Also just tried to install ACR 6.4 since that's the minimum requirement for this new camera...same error!

Thanks for updating the forum; hopefully someone else may benefit from your findings.
I can't imagine how you connected that Hotfix with the Adobe updater issue - the two seem in totally different realms. However you did it, good job!

When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet.

When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet. I am aware of tabs, but I prefer to just open new windows.
Do I really need a pop up window telling me that I just closed Firefox? Is there a way to disable it in options? I can't even use Buzof program to auto click for me. I've never had this issue with any other browser and I find it incredibly annoying.

I am not clear what you mean by:
''the program will only alow 1 website for each time I boot my machine,''
Are you talking about Firefox or something else in the above statement. Firefox will, or should allow you to open quite a few tabs at startup if you wish, although it will be faster the fewer that you do open.
When you say
''I close it the program does not completely close ''
Again what is happening, what error messages if any do you see, and what exactly makes you think Firefox is not closing properly.
Presumably you have already clicked on the blue links in my first post and read those articles.

Another instance running

I occassionally get the message about possibly another instance of SJSE8 is running, etc...
What can I do to prevent this from happening... I beleive I close out the IDE correctly, I select exit to close??
Thanks

Are you running multiple instances of the IDE? The IDE creates a userdir and puts .lock file there when the IDE is running. If that file cannot be deleted for some reason, then the next time you startup the IDE, it will find the .lock and popup the message. If there is no other IDE running, simply dismiss the message.
You might try deleting this lock by hand. Is there some other way that an Studio instance could be running (like a "non responding" process) during this time?

Show running configuration of Service Instance

What is the command to see running configuration of a service instance in 7600 router.

Hi Girish,
You do not have to add URLs. Adding URLs is for monitoring other unrelated instances.
Just add the agates to the instances and make sure they become visible in the left-hand-side pane of the ADM (on both machines).
This will enable you to go to the other ADM (on the other machine) with the link "Go to Native ADM"
Now if you want to display the instances of the other machines in your overview also, you have to add a Proxy ADM.
On both machines, add a proxy-ADM. This proxy-ADM points to the ADM on the other machine.

When I close firefox I find another instance of firefox running that points to an advertisement

When I close a session of Firefox I find another instance of firefox running (which I haven't initiated) this usually contains an advert.
I've checked that popups have been disabled, which it has been. I tried disabling add-ons but this had no effect.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Firefox become in Offline mode and unable to open any page and when shut down it remains in processes and freez up, blocking another to be run

When I on my Laptop, Acer Aspire 5735 with Windows 7 Ultimate run Firefox all runs perfectly smooth, all is working as expected, but when I go to Sleep mode or Hibernate (Firefox remains open) after turning on Firefox is not active any more, all open tabs are there but surfing is unavailable. Firefox reports message that it is in Offline mode (but menu File > Work Offline is not checked and if I check it and uncheck it again it doesn't have any impact). Which means If I open new tab and write web address it wont open, if I click any link in opened tabs from before, it wont open anything and it will show message that Firefox is in offline mode. After that I shut down Firefox by using Close(x) button and it disappears from desktop but it remains in memory and active processes not allowing any other instance of Firefox to be run. Finally I shut it down on force (End process) and start another instance and all works perfect. I am not sure is this only my problem with hardware/software configuration so I wanted to share this.

This is a pain but I have resolved it. This is instructions for Windows 7 but it may be the same on other Operating systems.
Note: "''YOUR USERNAME''" relates to the account you log on to Windows with.
# First go to control '''panel / folder options''' and ''uncheck'' ''''Hide extensions for known file types'''', ''check'' ''''Show hidden files and folders'''' and ''check'' ''''Show hidden operating system files'''' then click ''apply'' and ''OK''.
# Go here :''' C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder to your desktop.
# Go here : '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\''' and copy the '''Profiles''' folder to your desktop. You will need to rename this as you already have a Profiles folder so name it '''Profiles2'''.
# Uninstall Firefox (''selecting to remove all user settings'') then go here: '''C:\Program Files\''' and delete the ''Mozilla Firefox'' folder.
# Go here : '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Roaming''' and delete the ''Mozilla'' folder
# Go here: '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\ '''delete the ''Mozilla'' folder.
# Open another browser (i.e.'' Internet Explorer'') and download and install ''C-Cleaner'' here: [http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard]
# Once installed run the ''''Registry cleaner'''' over and over until no problems are detected and exit the application. You may now uninstall it but it is probably one of the best free apps available as it has a better uninstaller than Windows does and controls which programs run when Windows starts without using the 'msconfig' command.
# Now download the latest version of Firefox with your other browser and install it then run the application once and close it down.
# Open the ''Profiles'' folder on your desktop and inside you will find one or more folders with a name ending in '''.default''' (i.e. ''uomifhku.default''). Right click each folder and select '''Properties''' to see which contains the highest amount of data or the bigger file size. Once you have done that open the largest folder and make sure there is nothing in there with '''... @security.compass''' written on it. If there is then delete it. Hold your ''left'' mouse button and move your mouse pointer over all of the files to highlight in blue. Put your mouse cursor on any one of the files, ''right click'' and select 'Copy' to copy them all to system memory and then close the folder.
# Go here: '''C:\Users\"YOUR USERNAME"\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles''' and find the folder ending in '''.default''' then open it. Now ''right click'' anywhere on the background in the main Payne containing the files and select 'paste'. When prompted to '''Overwrite Files''' and '''Merge Folders''' always accept and proceed. Once done, close the window.
# Open the '''Profiles2''' folder on your desktop and inside you will find one or more folders with a name ending in '''.default''' (i.e. ''uomifhku.default'').

Now right click anywhere on the background in the main Payne containing the files and select '''paste'''. When prompted to '''Overwrite Files''' and '''Merge Folders''' always accept and proceed. Once done, close the window.
Start Firefox and if all is well you should be working again and it back in the state you left it last without the bug.
Many thanks, sparkyuiop
