Windows 8.1 64 bit machine, search charm shows two application shortcut

We have Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
We installed a application and found working it properly. 
If we click on Windows button and search application description
then, we noticed search charm shows two application short-cuts.
1. Right click on first short-cut pointing to multiple options like - Pin to start, taskbar, uninstall, file location path, etc and after click on any menu item it works successfully. Even file location shows proper 'program files' folder.
2. Right click on second short-cut does not give any option. But, after click on this short-cut application launches successfully.
Also, after uninstall of this application. We found the second short-cut still exist.
We searched through complete registry and did not found any reference of the same application. Even 'program files' folder got cleaned, too.
But, click on second icon in the search charm we got an error - 
"Windows cannot find C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\en-US\NameSpace_Classic_{940B1CC9-013F-468Ee-BBBF-4A975461F120}.settingcontent-ms"
Make sure you typed name correctly, and then try again."
where 
The above file was present when application was installed and after uninstall above file got deleted.
But, the short-cut still exists. 
Please let me know how we remove this second short-cut while installation. The same application installation does not show this kind of behaviour on other OS's.  
Thanks - Shashi

    I installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) machine. I double click the desktop icon and double click on a PDF file and the hour glass (circle) appears for about 5 seconds but no Adobe Acrobat.

    If it's not launching you can try repairing it from the control panel.  If that doesn't work then try reinstalling it.

  • BOE XI R2 on Windows Server 2008 64 Bit Machine

    Hi,
    We are trying to install BOE XI R2 on Windows Server 2008 64 Bit Machine.
    For some reason when the install finishes we dont get all the Program Icons (Like .Net Admin Launchpad).
    Are there any different steps that we have to take to get a successful installation? Will XI 3.1 take care of this?
    Thank you

    64 bit it supported on XI R2 but Windows Server 2008 is not . Have a look at this Supported Platforms document:

  • Windows 7 64 Bit machine with Instant Client and 32Bit application

    Hello everybody,
    the last days a tried to get a 32Bit application to run on a Windows 7 SP1 64 Bit machine ... unfortunately with no success. The application runs on XP Pro and Vista Pro 32 Bit machines against a 11g RDBMS for years. As a refenence we use SQLTools from sqltools.net. It has nearly the same behaviour like the application, because it is a 32 bit application too.
    First thing was to install a 64 bit environement to verify if the connection is allright.
    - Downloaded instantclient-basic-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip an instantclient-sqlplus-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip
    - Unpacked both packages into C:\oracle so that they reside in C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Made a directory C:\oracle\tnsnames with tnsnames.ora in it, because the app uses it
    - Set the environement variables TNS_ADMIN to point to C:\oracle\tnsnames and added C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2 in front of the path variable
    - Restarted the machine
    - Opened a commnd shell and startet sqlplus user/password@sid
    Everything was allright, I was able to connect to the database as expected
    Second thing was to start SQLTools, but as I feard it quitted with an error message when trying to access oci.dll of the instant client.
    So i decided to switch to a 32 bit environement as a third thing.
    - Downloaded instantclient-basiclite-nt-11.2.0.2.0.zip and instantclient-sqlplus-nt-11.2.0.2.0.zip
    - Deleted the old C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Unpacked both 32 bit packages into C:\oracle so that they reside in C:\oracle\instantclient_11_2
    - Didn't change anything in the environement, because nothing changed from the view of the system
    - Opened a commnd shell and startet sqlplus user/password@sid
    But now I wasn't able to connect and got the following error
    ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error
    SQLPlus was able to start now, but when trying to connect to the database I got the same error like when connecting with sqlplus.
    Does anybopdy have an idea how to manage to get a 32 bit application to run on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine?
    Thanks in advance
    My packages:
    Windows 7 64 bit SP1
    Oracle Instant Client basic lite 11.2.0.2.0
    SQLPlus 1.5 22D

    Have you tried WOW64 ? I have not used this emulator for sqlplus but it works for other 32 bit applications.

  • ITunes 11.1.3.8 on Windows 8.1 64 bit display problems with CD tracks and Internet Radio

    Recently installed iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine and I have the following problems:
    1) Inserting a CD in order to listen or import tracks I get no display of tracks when I click the CD drive in the side bar. The list has only white and gray lines where the tracks should have been listed and the top of the table contains some grabbed display from Music table (i.e. the first track that was displayed in Music but only 2/3 of the line. The status bar at the bottom of the iTunes window shows correct information about the number of tracks and total playing time.
    2) Hitting the play button while on this CD Drive listing starts the playback but the tracks play in random sequence even though shuffle play is not selected (not blue to be precise). In the zone with track name, playback progress, elapsed and remaining time and other track options the indications are correct.
    3) Importing the CD works but the tracks are imported in random order. Track information from CDDB providers is accurate eventhough nothing is displayed while selecting CD drive as per problem 1). Imported tracks in Music show in random order. This is also strange because when I was importing something from a CDDB indexed CD or even a non indexed one the tracks were always imported in the order they were written on disc.
    4) Going to Music -> Internet I get the same white and gray lines with no stations displayed but this time the status bar reads Zero Stations. Obviously I can't select/listen anything
    I'd say I'm quite experienced with iTunes, using it since 2005 but never had problems of this type. Some assistance would be helpful. I smell a bug that maybe shows up in my particular configuration. Searched everywhere, maybe not good enough, but couldn't find something even similar.

    i have the same problem no radio stations at all bit shabby hate technolgy now adays

  • Win64_11gR2  on windows 2008 r2 64 bit

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install oracle database onto a vanilla windows 2008 r2 64 bit machine with windows firewall turned off and no AV installed. The version I have downloaded is labelled win64_11gR2_database_1of2 and 2of2. I have copied the contents of 2of2 into 1of2. As soon as I couble-click (or right click run as administrator) the setup, a cmd window flashes for a split second. I managed to get a screen shot which showed it was trying to launch Oracle Universal Installer from a temp directory in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\.......
    I have installed the latest version of JRE 64 bit. I also tried installing java to a directory without any spaces and have tried launching the setup from command pointing to the new java install folder.
    I have tried launching the setup from command using the skip system requirements command but no luck there either.
    I have tried running the OUI from within the install directory but it does the same thing.
    I must have read through about 50 pages of forums and none of the solutions have worked.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the suggestions. My server hardware is more than the minimum requirements. It's not a fancy setup, just a standalone physical box with a blank copy of windows and JRE installed. I can't see any other pre-requisite tasks that would apply. If there is any other software I need to install first, I can't see it on that page. In terms of the log file, I could find a install actions in the C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\...... directory which only gave this info.
    Using paramFile: C:\Install\install\oraparam.ini
    Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors. Actual 65536 Passed
    The number of files bootstrapped for the jre is 0.
    The number of files bootstrapped for the oui is 0.
    Helios - I can't see if that was supposed to be a link. Could you repost it please?
    Thanks

    Has anyone successfully achieved this?
