Spec Explorer issue in VS 2012 Professional

Greetings fellow developers,
This is my first post here. I had the following problem and I wanted to share this knowledge with you.
I have a trial version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Professional. I installed the newest version of SpecExplorer (3.5.3146.0).
The menu was in the visual studio toolbar, however none of the functions were working. I tried reinstalling, it did not help. Then I uninstalled the plugin, downloaded VS 2010 Professional, installed Service Pack 1 and suddenly it was working for both versions.
Do you know the reason for this?
Kind regards,
Adrian Yankov

Hi
Adrian,
Do you mean that you download it here?
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/271d0904-f178-4ce9-956b-d9bfa4902745
If you install the VS2012 update 4, how about the result?
Best Regards,
Jack

When will Spec Explorer work with VS2013 ?

Dear all,
I’m a user of Spec Explorer and I’m looking for someone who can inform us about the future of Spec Explorer?
Is there still a team within Microsoft working on this tool.
Currently it is only supported in VS 2012, is there any plans to release this tool for VS2013? see also
https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/5595362-support-spec-explorer-in-visual-studio-2013
Thanks in advance
Kind regards

I agree with everyone. Just upgraded from a Note 3 to a Note 4, and was shocked to find that it states that Photoshop Touch is incompatible with this device.
With the power of the Note 4 (with its enhanced S Pen) it is like a pocket size Wacom Cintiq, so would have thought PS Touch would go hand in hand with the device.
It has been since May that the last update to PS Touch was released, so believe that regardless of this Note 4 issue, the app is due an upgrade.
I hope that the Note 4 issue is resolved quickly, although I do agree with munk33 that maybe the app is slowly going to disappear (like Adobe Ideas) with all the recent Mobile apps coming out from Adobe, (although only on iOS, another annoying issue, don't get me started), please prove me wrong that PS Touch is not going to disappear, and an official reply to the Note 4 issue.

Problem installing Visual Studio 2012 Professional, "security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object"

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2012 Professional edition on my work laptop, Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1. I have limited admin rights and should be able to install
programs on this laptop but when I try to install VS 2012, I get the following error message:
"This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object."
Any idea why this is happening?

Hi,
You must have administrator credentials to install Visual Studio. However, you do not have to have these credentials to use Visual Studio after it is installed.
More information you can refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e2h7fzkw(v=vs.110).aspx
Please install the Visual Studio 2012 as the administrator.

Hi,
For option: "install new versions automatically", we can simply prevent it via GPO or registry (the registry entry can also be deployed via GPO)
Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Internet Explorer - Install new versions of Internet Explorer automatically
Or

Just performed a clean install of R2 to replace server 2012.
Needed to re install server as ran into an error that appeared unrecoverable - video_driver_init_failed - stopped me over and over again no matter what boot option or repair method I used.
regardless, server 2012 was on a raid 0 ssd array no issues. tried to do the same with R2 and did not like the amd ahci or raid drivers had to install to one ssd only
you may want to check your driver compatibility on R2, not a real big deal for me

ps last time I installed catalyst drivers for video sb and raid and ahci I started getting randon server 2012 crashes (used win 8/8,1 64bit drivers) scared to reinstall them so just letting it go with windows defaults
main use is streaming video and music to 5 other computers in the house and can stream to all 5 from raid array no problems
should I install the amd drivers?
thanks

I'd probably check OS compatibility here or create a ticket.

Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise Deployment Issues using SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
I have been trying to deploy Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise to Windows 8.1 machines that are identical, using SCCM 2012 R2.
The Adobe package seems fine, because it seems to deploy successfully to some machines. And SCCM 2012 R2 has been configured correctly, as I can deploy other software using it, and again, it deploys Adobe CC successfully to some of the machines.
I have tried comparing the package that is downloaded on the test machine/client machine, with the original package on the distribution point, using Beyond Compare, and there are no differences.
I have contacted Adobe Enterprise Support, and they asked me to send to them log files from Event Viewer, the msi installer, and other Adobe logs, from the machine that failed the deployment. However, after Adobe studying them, they told me that they could not identify any problems... Strange, because I could have sworn that I saw error 1603 pop up over 20 times on different machines indicating that the 'Set-up.dat' file had a problem with it.
After all the testing on over 20 identical machines (same hardware/same software), using different configurations on SCCM 2012 R2 and the client machines, I still can't seem to have a reliable solution to deploying Adobe CC.
The fact that it deploys successfully on one machine and fails on another, or sometimes deploy to two machines and fail on another (simultaneously), is something that I don't understand.
Another thing is that, if I retry the deployment 10-15 times after it failed the first time, it might go through...
Adobe Enterprise Support asked me if they could remote into a machine that failed the deployment to have a look at it and I agreed to that option, but it seems like my issue has been ignored because they never got back to me.
Has anyone had this kind of problem or anything similar before?
I need to be able to deploy this remotely to 100+ machines. So installing manually is not an option.
Any help is appreciated.
This was posted in the wrong section a few days ago. I'm hoping I can get some help here.
Case Number: 1862659812
UPDATE: I spoke to Adobe Customer Support and after 1.5 hours on the phone with a remote session going on, problem was still not solved or identified. Additional log files have been sent and now I'm waiting for a call back.

Hi Robert,
We seem to be having a very similar issue. Our installs would randomly fail with error code 1603 and an error message about a fault in Set-up.dat. Failure rate was near 95% on our 900 machines. Adobe Support and Karl having been looking into our issues but so far no solution has been found.
Having done a lot of investigating we've managed to deploy our package using a schedule task running as a domain admin. This is a nasty solution and we don't intend on using this permanently, but we needed to get the package out.
Are you seeing any of the following:
Entries in PDApp.log:
[FATAL] | | ASU | DeploymentManager | DeploymentManager | | | 2900 | The Bootstrapper Process is (5).Stopping the installation process.

Indicates it can't find the Media_db. We noticed that the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps doesn't get created on the machines were the install fails, so error message is correct in that there isn't a Media_db.db. Sysinterals Process Monitor seems to show that the setup tried to create the folder/files but they don't actually get created. Copying a Media_db into the folder from another machine seems to allow the installation to almost finish, but unsurprisingly you end up with problems later on.

HT4859 After the i-cloud server issue Nov 26, 2012, I had to change some mail account settings to get my i-cloud mail to work again. However, all of my received e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve my e-mails from the server?

After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail. I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails. However, all of my historical e-mails are gone. How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

Issue upgrading SCOM 2012 SP1 to SCOM 2012 R2

I have been having a really fun time trying to get my test SCOM 2012 SP1 environment upgraded to SCOM 2012 R2. I initially had an issue with the DB server not accepting connections to SMB which was causing the upgrade to fail stating database permission
issues (that was a fun one to troubleshoot). Once I figured out that problem I am now getting an error in the OpsMgrSetupWizard log that is stating the following:
[14:46:47]: Always:
:LaunchMsiSetup: Complete: 2 seconds
[14:46:47]: Error:
:LaunchMsiSetup: Failed, return code: 1612
[14:46:47]: Error:
:Error:Failed to uninstall previous MOM product on this machine, cannot proceed with upgrade
[14:46:47]: Error:
:Error:Failed to uninstall Operations Manager Agent on this machine. This is fatal error, we cannot proceed with upgrade
[14:46:50]: Error:
:LaunchMSI: MSI E:\Setup\AMD64\Server\OMServer.msi returned error 1603
[14:46:50]: Error:
:ProcessInstalls: Install Item Management Server failed to install. We did not launch the post process delegate.
In the application log I am getting the following error:
"Product: System Center Operations Manager 2012 Server -- The Operations Manager management server cannot be installed on a computer on which the Operations Manager agent, Operations Manager gateway, System Center Essentials, or System Center Service
Manager is already installed. These must be uninstalled to proceed."
I have verified that I don't have any of these installed and have even gone so far as to remove my Config man agent and System Center Endpoint Protection just in case it was getting confused with System Center Essentials.
I am at a loss as to what to try next. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Check if you have the following registry. If so, please back it up first, then delete for a test.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\UpgradeCodes\C96403E8AD6025B4F9E1FE9C574E34AE
Also, please uninstall MOM product and Operations Manager Agent manually to check the result.

Forms 10g Installation issue on windows 7 Professional service pack 1

hi
I am trying to install oracle forms 10g 64 bit windows 7 Professional service pack 1 ..
Below are 2 files that i am using ..
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
But it failed but the error is ..
Checking operating system version: must be 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2. Actual 6.1 Failed <<<<
just wondering if there are any workaround ..

Christian is right - Forms 10g R2 (version 10.1.2.0.2) is not certified for installation on Windows 7. You must apply a Forms 10g R2 patch to bring the version to 10.1.2.3.0 for it to be certified. You must have a My Oracle Support account to obtain the patch.
Now, to your question - is there a workaround; the answer is yes. There are known issues with this installer. I'll list them and their workaround.
1. The Oracle installer checks for a specific set of Windows versions rather than check for a minimum Windows version.
Workaround: Right-click the Installer and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab and click the checkbox: Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP3).
2. The Oracle Installer can't detect Windows Managed Virtual Memory (VM).
Workaround: You must temporarily change the Virtual Memory settings and specify specific Initial and Maximum sizes. See this Microsoft article for more information on changing VM settings. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/change-the-size-of-virtual-memory
This change will require you to restart your computer. After you have successfully installed Oracle Forms 10g, you can restore the original VM settings.
3. The Oracle installer MUST be installed as an "Administrator".
Workaround: Windows 7 uses "Least privileged user" so you must right-click the Installer and select the Compatibility tab. Click the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox.
4. Not a Oracle installer issue, but you will have to install the 32-bit version of the Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (1.6.0 - not 1.7.0) because Oracle Forms is a 32-bit application so it will not be able to use the 64-bit JRE.
Run the Oracle installer and it should now install succesfully.

Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am trying to open a document library in Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server and I am receiving Your Client Does not Support Opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to open a document library with the Internet Explorer 11 on a Windows 2012 R2 server. But you received the following error message: Your client
does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer.
There can be multiple reasons for it.
So, I recommend you can check with the following steps:
Go to the “Server Manager” of “Administrative Tools” > Enable the “Desktop Experience” feature in your environment.
Go to the “Services” of “Administrative Tools” >
Ensure the “WebClient” service is started.
Ensure that your computer has supported Web browser.
Ensure that Internet Explorer is configured correctly to add
https://*.sharepoint.com to Local intranet site in the “Security Tab” of “Internet Options”.
Ensure that
you have applied the latest updates on the system.
For more information, you can refer to the following articles:

Display issue on late 2012 Mac Mini

My display flickers as described elsewhere (Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.7). When I tried to download and boot it I got a message "The software is not supported on your system". My image flicks from normal to all "pink and turquoise". Late 2012 model.
Strange thing is that when I check Display in System Preferences and check "best for this display" it proposes 60 Hz NTSC even if I installed it and used it in Sweden which is PAL territory. I have to admit that I bought the Mini in US, but according to the salesman it should work anywhere and my last Mini was also bought in US and worked without any problems for five years in Europe.
Any ideas

There are quite a few threads regarding this issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4472316
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4490924
Are two of the "larger" threads on this issue.
I hope this helps.

HT4848 I have a Recovery issue with late 2012 Mac Mini

I have a Mac Mini late 2012 purchased last week. I put a Mercury 240GB SSD into the top bay and upped the RAM to 16GB. I then formatted the SSD and used Recovery to install the OS on the SSD. The system performs as expected EXCEPT... when I use the Recovery Disk of either drive I get a message that both the original Drive and the SSD are damaged. If I select either drive it says if I choose Fix it will erase Both drives. Is this because Recovery sees 2 identical OSs on different drives? I had planned on erasing the 1TB 5400 drive that came with the MM but I'm hesitant until I resolve this issue. Any thoughts? Is the Mac Mini operating a "special" OS? I haven't seen this behavior before. Report says it's build OS X 10.8.2 (12C2034). FWIW mylate 2010 MBA and early 2008 iMac have build OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). Is this a possible Bug as I haven't noticed this type of behavior before?

I thought about your dilemma while ASC was down, that's good news your welcome!
I spent some of the time replacing the 320GB 5400rpm HD in my 2010 Mac Mini with a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar 7200rpm HD. Then moved forward by Restoring Mountain Lion onto it from an External HD, instead of Snow Leopard from the original 5400rpm drive. I really prefer to keep my music and photos on the Internal HD and so I couldn't justify the cost of a larger SSD.
So basically I flip flopped and now running Mountain Lion on a larger/slightly faster Internal HD and Snow Leopard from a FireWire External HD when needed.

Internet Explorer issue In Windows 8.1

In IE 11 in Windows 8.1 I found below issue:
1) I found out that browser cache in Windows 8.1 is stored in “InetCache” folder which is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache. But when this folder is accessed from windows explorer, the contents shown are different from, when
it is accessed through Browser Tools->Internet Options->General->Browsing history->Settings->View files.
2) Now go to above said path (mentioned in #1 issue)from cmd. Now run dir command we see that it lists out some files and directory name.Even though we delete everything from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache by selecting (ctrl+A->shift+delete).
Can anyone help me in knowing why it does not delete everything from folder C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache when we clear all the item? What is the purpose of the file that is listed out in cmd (like counters.dat, low directory etc)?
3)How this directory can be deleted? When I delete the C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low, again it gets created. How we can can delete counters.dat file from INetCache folder. What is the purpose of this dat file.
4) The issue mentioned In #2 and #3 are also seen in Windows 7.
Please help me in knowing the answer of the above question.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1) I found out that browser cache in Windows 8.1 is stored in “InetCache” folder which is located at C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache. But when this folder is accessed from windows explorer, the contents shown are different from, when
it is accessed through Browser Tools->Internet Options->General->Browsing history->Settings->View files.
Do you mean that you're unable to find the file path via File Exploerer, some files\folders are hidden and system protected, we need to go to control panel\Folder Options\View, then check Show hidden files & folders option, but also uncheck Hide protected
operating system files/folders option, then you will find the files.
2) Now go to above said path (mentioned in #1 issue)from cmd. Now run dir command we see that it lists out some files and directory name.Even though we delete everything from C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache by selecting
(ctrl+A->shift+delete). Can anyone help me in knowing why it does not delete everything from folder C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache when we clear all the item? What is the purpose of the file that is listed out in cmd (like

3)How this directory can be deleted? When I delete the C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low, again it gets created. How we can can delete counters.dat file from INetCache folder. What is the purpose of this dat file.
Regarding to Q2 and 3, I tested this issue, same result as yours, after I delet all the files under the cache folder, but the result of dir is still shown as below:
First the "Low" folder is to cache files when running IE in protected mode. the cache is considered as a virtual folder with the same low privilege as that of the Internet Explorer process itself. Regarding to the counters.dat file, and here is a
similiar link：
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/unable-to-delete-countersdat-file/501c7dcc-9df4-4684-8301-d9c4d1ac94ca
since I have confidence that my machine is not get infected, so the.dat file should be a default file, I will do more research and test for the file, will inform you if I got any progress.
