Error alert only showing the first 20 characters. Dynaweb on IIS - iis

I have an old dynaweb project, deployed on IIS, that I have recently migrated to a new windows server. The error alerts are not showing the whole error message. The engine code was copied as is.
What could be causing this?
Old setup
Microsoft windows server 2003.
32 Bit.
New setup
Windows server 2016 standard
64 Bit.
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 13.0.15000.23
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 13.0.1601.5
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.14393.0
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.14393.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.3.14393

MS Management studio import wizard External table is not in the expected format. Excel (XLSX)

I am using the SQL managment studio to run the import wizard to get data from excel file (XlSX). I get the following error:
External table is not in the expected format. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
The excel file is not password protected and it was created in office 2003 (95% sure)
I have read articles suggesting missing drivers. I have installed all the following:
Microsoft Office version Download
2016 Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime
2013 Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime
2010 Microsoft Access 2010 Runtime
2007 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components
Nothing of these worked for me. However; if I open the excel file, click save, close it and then import it using the wizard it works.
The problem is that I would like to automate this process. So opening 200 files, save them, and then close them is not an option.
My specs:
windows 10,
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.14393.0
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.14393.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.3.14393
The only thing that I found starnge here is the following:
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0.
Is this the correct value. If not, how do I update it?
This is my second day looking for a solution to this problem with no luck. If anyone could help.

service bus 1.0 not showing up in windows platform installer 4.5

I am trying to install Service Bus 1.0 on my developer machine. When i am searching for "Service Bus 1.0" in the web platform installer 4.5, it is not able to find it.
I downloaded .exe file manually from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252361. When the setup runs, it gives me an error message in Web Platform Installer that "Microsoft web platform installer couldn't find the product you tried to install. Either the link you clicked is incorrect or you may be overriding you feed with different feed."
I checked my feed and it is set to "default".
My operating system is windows 7 SP1 Enterprise Edition.
VS 2010 and V2012 installed. I also have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
Any idea what is causing this problem?
It turned out that my OS is 32 bit and it requires 64 bit OS.

Connect and develop with sharepoint server 2013

I recently setup a sharepoint server 2013 on our company and have found really good examples how you can override the suitbar with custom links.
Now that I'm trying to implement those examples i get to that point where Visual Studio 2012 and Office development tools is installed.
When i choose to start a new project I select New Project > Templates > Visual C# > Office/SharePoint > SharePoint Solutions > SharePoint 2013 Empty Project hit ok and i get an error that says Sharepoint not installed?
Am I supposed to install VS 2012 and develop om my Sharepoint 2013 server directly?
A very common way to develop SharePoint applications is to run a virtual machine (hyper-v under windows 8 for example) on your development workstation.
You can also dual-boot into a vhd file.
You can also install Windows Server 2012 and use one of the many desktop conversion techniques to use it as your primary operating system on your workstation.
Another often seen technique is to have a virtual machine hosted in the cloud or a datacenter, running both SharePoint Server and Visual Studio. Then connect to that machine using Remote Desktop.
With some trickery, you could have the SharePoint 2010 installer install om a workstation OS. This no longer works on SharePoint 2013. The reason this support was removed is due to the inclusion of Boot from VHD and Hyper-v into Windows 8.
It is my experience that if you just want to build your application and not run or debug it, that just having the assemblies copied over from an actual SharePoint Server will allow you to do that. I haven't found an updated document for SharePoint 2013 yet.
Yes. You have to develop on the sharepoint server directly using Visual Studio as Sharepoint server GAC has the required server object models to work programatically with sharepoint server object model.
You can aslo develop on client machine using Client Object Model or WCF Data Services Framework.

Where to get Visual Studio LightSwitch 2012 Server Runtime from in Web Platform Installer?

I have upgraded my 2011 Lightswitch app to 2012 RTM and it works fine locally. However, when I try to Publish it to my web server it fails (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bethmassi/archive/2011/03/23/deployment-guide-how-to-configure-a-web-server-to-host-lightswitch-applications.aspx).
I checked the Web Platform Installer on the live server and it does NOT have "Visual Studio LightSwitch 2012 Server Runtime without Local SQL" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Gg481779(v=vs.110).aspx) - it only has the 2011 version.
Where do I get the 2012 version from? There is very little info about it on the web.
Ok, I am going to summarise my experience here as it might help others who are upgrading. My app uses the Telerik RadgridView control and Forms authentication. It runs OOB:
1) Firstly, I upgraded to the RTM LS2012 version and rebuild my app - all works fine on Dev.
2) I then tried to deploy to my Win2008 Server with no changes (note: it was running the LS2011 version with no problems). This failed with an "Unknown" message during the publish process. To get around this I unchecked the flag on the Publish wizard "IIS Server has the Lightswitch Deployment Prerequisites".
3) Next problem: The Silverlight App would show "loading" and then show a blank screen. At one point I received a message saying "Debugging resource strings are unavailable". The problem here was that the IIS site that the publishing wizard created had Windows and Forms Authentication (under the IIS Authentication icon). Disabling Windows Auth solved this problem. I was finally able to log on to my app.
4) Hardest problem: The app would log in and work fine for about 20 seconds. Then it would throw a Silverlight unhandled exception: "Unhandled exception at 0x5ceed700 in sllauncher.exe: 0xC0000 094: Integer division by zero". After a lot of Googling someone asked if I was using a VM - the server IS a VM and they suggested I run as a single processor (ie. it was a threading error). I did not try this, instead I tried running from a different PC as a client OOB (I was testing on the server). This then worked.
After all this my app is now up and running as Lightswitch 2012.... hope this helps someone!
Notes: I did NOT install .NET 4.5 (my projects target .NET 4) OR the Lightswitch 2012 requisites on the server. It works with the Silverlight 4 Telerik dlls.
I think all you need is change of .NET framework from 4.0 to 4.5 in your application directory.
It is called "LightSwitch for Visual Studio 2012 - Server Configuration with(out) local SQL Express" and available at the Web Platform Installer.

Need help configuring IIS with ASP.NET in Vista Home Basic

I have checked the following during turning on Windows features:
IIS,IIS Compatibility and under WWW I have checked .NET extensibility.I do not see an ASP.NET option to check.Will these be enough to have IIS running or am I missing something.
I do not see the IIS page when I type localhost in my browser.Please help.
Your version of Vista does not support ASP on IIS. You'll have to either install asp or upgrade your version of Vista to:
Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
Windows Vista Professional Edition
Windows Vista Ultimate Edition
If you're trying to set up a web server you can take a look at Microsoft's Dreamspark site.
If you're a student and have the capability of proving it you can download a copy of Windows 2003 Server and use it for educational purposes.
