The title mostly explains my problem.
Changing the Android SDK Location within the Setup Wizard crashes the installer, and I am required to change the location due to the fact that the path chosen by default contains non-ASCII characters in my case, hindering me from pressing the "Next" button.
clicking/selecting anything becomes impossible at this point, and I can only close the Setup Wizard via Task Manager.
What I have tried:
Selecting different location paths
Restarting the Setup Wizard
Restarting my Computer
What else could I try to solve this?
Unfortunately I was unable to find other cases of this problem or possible solutions.

I need to import a .gpx file to my virtual device (something I'm attempting for the first time today), but I'm having a problem I can't find any reference to anywhere else. I'm either having a moment and missing something that should be obvious or there's an issue with the specific build I have that's causing an issue. I have Android Studio 3.5.3 installed and I've tried multiple different virtual devices.
All references to the menu page referenced in my title that I can find online look like this:
While my version of that page looks like this:
That "Import GPX/KML" button always appears to be greyed out. What am I missing here?
Eventually found the cause of this and a solution. The issue was caused by an Android emulator release that updated the Location settings to include a Google Maps based UI. Release notes here, though I've found the 29.2.11 release on 03/12 also contained the UI change: https://androidstudio.googleblog.com/2019/12/emulator-29212-stable-google-maps-ui.html. On my Windows 10 computers this also removed the option of importing a GPX file (not sure if this was an intentional choice by Google or a bug). Not sure if it will affect Linux or Mac users but I've observed the issue on multiple Windows 10 devices.
The fix I found for the issue was to downgrade my emulator to 29.2.1. That version can be found here:

In Windows, next go to C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\emulator. Those of a cautious disposition can backup this folder, but either way the package.xml file will be needed and everything else can be moved or deleted. Edit the details in the XML to match the version number of the downloaded emulator. Copy the downloaded files to this location along with the package.xml. Then just make sure not to download the update again when Android Studio is opened.
I've got an Installscript MSI project that's behaving a bit oddly.
Following a successful installation, if I launch the installation file again, I get a pop-up with a question:
"Do you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its features?"
This, of course, is the expected behaviour.
If I select "No", the "InstallShield Wizard Completed" dialog is displayed, and it notifies me that "The wizard was interrupted before [the application] could be completely installed."
Again, this is all within expected behaviour.
The unexpected bit is that after closing this dialog, the application is partially removed from my machine. The installed files and registry keys are still present, but it no longer appears in Windows' "Apps & features", and if I run the installation file again it starts a new installation, as if the application had never been installed.
I tired enabling maintenance mode, but to no avail. Cancelling the maintenance dialog triggers the same partial removal.
Any clue what's going on here, or ideas to fix this?
I have also faced this issue when long back I was working on InstallShield scripting.
The unexpected bit is that after closing this dialog, the application
is partially removed from my machine. The installed files and registry
keys are still present, but it no longer appears in Windows' "Apps &
features",
Have you implemented the uninstall script functions in your installscript for uninstalling or updating the installation? You may look into these functions and verify the logic for those particular features or components.
and if I run the installation file again it starts a new installation,
as if the application had never been installed.
In the installer folder, where you have your installshield setup.exe, you have TEMP folder in that folder you have "Installation.ini" file, there it tracks the instances it has installed with that particular name.
So it might be because installshield is removing the entry from installation.ini file and when you are trying to install the same package again you are able to do this.
I am using sql server data tools for visual studion 2012 for SSIS package development. Visual studio 2012 is also installed on my system. Facing issues with package configuration. I am following below steps.
Go to package cofiguration.
Expand any connection or variable to add value to config file.
Expand next connection or variable. And click on properties, previously selected connection values are disappearing. But its working fine when we expand all connections, variables and then select values.
All the selected values should not disappear. it seems to be a defect. any help would be appreciated.
An old issue I know, but incase this is driving anyone else insane, there is a work around (no fix I can find yet, but then I haven't reinstalled yet either).
The work around is to expand all the properties you are going to set before setting any parameters. It appears that expanding will clear all the other settings in the wizard, hence creating the behaviour both me and the OP had.
I found an even better workaround:
Open up 'View Code' in the Solution Explorer. This will show you the underlying XML page for the package. Find the Package Configuration value you want to change, and edit it directly.
I've got 2 projects in my solution.
The one is a small win forms project, and
the other, a InstallShield Limited Edition project.
Everything works fine & installs correctly for the most part. The desktop and start menu shortut's get created also with the correct icon... except that that the target & start in properties are blank... and thus the shortcuts are useless.
Normally target should have the reference to the executable, but it seems to be populated with my project name :/
I'm not too sure how I can go about debugging this? Or what would be causing the problem?
I started going going through the sub steps in the Installer project.
Under the 3rd node - Configure the Target System, there is a Shortcuts/Folders item.
Upon opening you'll see a tree view of where the shortcuts will be created. I selected the desktop shortcut, and noticed that the working directory was not set. I changed it to point to [INSTALLDIR]
This fixed the problem for me
I'm on Visual Studio Premium 2012, Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL, Windows 7 Enterprise (SP1).
When I right click on the Solution, and click Properties, I get a popup window showing the the null reference exception (Object reference not set to an instance of an object).
When I try the same in 2010, it works fine, opening up the normal solution properties pages, allowing me to set the startup order etc.
Also, in 2012, View -> Property Pages, gives the same result.
Please advise how to solve this, is this a known bug?
UPDATE 1: Tried running devenv /resetsettings as well as devenv /safemode but the problem persists. Also tried it on a new solution, and the problem persists.
UPDATE 2: Seems that disabling any extension, and trying again, sorts out the issue. Re-enabling extension doesn't bring the bug back.
UPDATE 3: Go vote here if you're still having this issue: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/763961/cannot-open-property-pages-for-solution
This happened to me as well. If you have ReSharper installed, try disabling it (Tools -> Options -> ReSharper -> General -> Suspend and restart VS2012. If you do not have ReSharper installed, I'm afraid I have no idea.
After seeing some comments here, and running into it myself, it appears that disabling Re-Sharper doesn't always fix the issue. However, if you disable, restart, re-enable 'other' add ons, the issue will eventually go away temporarily. The next time visual studio opens, you will likely be in the same spot.
In my case, the problem was solution-specific. NuGet was causing this error, but not the extension itself but a NuGet package that generated an error on VS load. When I opened NuGet Package Manager Console I saw a big red text with a description of the error. In my case it was T4Scaffolding.Core package, which in turn is a dependency of MVCMailer.
If this is your case, you will probably see what package generates an error in PM Console.
I was encountering this problem on one of my solutions, while it didn't happen for others. The solution causing the trouble didn't do so until I added a certain project to it; after that I could not view the solution's properties anymore or set the startup projects.
Removing the project from the solution didn't solve it, the only way to 'reset' was to create a new solution file and adding all projects one by one to it. This made it work again, until of course I re-added the offending project.
Today the issue was solved for me by updating the NuGet package manager.
This is my experience with the problem:
(Running VS2012 as administrator, hoping that some setting would be sorted out).
I have a solution with two MVC projects and other projects.
If I unload the two MVC projects without restarting VS, the problem is still there. After restarting VS, with the two projects not loading, but showing in Solution explorer, the problem disappears.
Load the two projects back, Solution properties still work, but after a restart the cycle restarts.
NOTE: There is no difference in the projects and solution files when the two MVC projects are not loaded.
