Where to find dotTrace after installation on Windows 8.1 Pro - jetbrains-ide

I have installed JetBrains dotTrace ( https://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/ ) on Windows 8.1 Pro. Installation has been completed successfully.
Now how to open dotTrace interface? I did search in Start Menu but couldn't find. I searched by "dottrace" and "jetbrains" keyword but no success.

There should be "JetBrains dotTrace 20xx.x" entry in Start Menu. If it doesn't exist, I'd recommend you to reinstall dotTrace or contact dotTrace support team.
But if you still want to open dotTrace manually, you need to run dotTrace64.exe file from %localappdata%\JetBrains\Installations\dotTrace11 folder (for 2017.3 version of dotTrace).

How to compile Winsock Control 6.0 on VB6 in Windows 10?

When trying to compile in the "Winsock Control" component on Windows 10, I get this error:
mswinsck.ocx could not be loaded
Notably, I have installed VB6 SP6, and with SP6 it works great on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, but it won't compile on Windows 10.
Also notably, the compiled .exe, when compiled from Win7/8, has no problem loading ws2_32.dll. It's just the compiling step that doesn't work on Win10.
Running Dependency Walker, depends.exe suggests mswinsck.ocx can't be loaded because it's depending on API-MS-WIN-CORE-SYNCH-L1-2-0.DLL and API-MS-WIN-CORE-PROFILE-L1-1-0.DLL and API-MS-WIN-CORE-PROCESSTHREADS-L1-1-0.DLL and a bunch of other DLLs with similar names (I think these DLLs have something to do with SysWOW64), which can't be found:
Does anyone know how to compile in "Winsock Control" in VB6 on Win10?
(Also notably, it seems the MSFlexGrid component is un-compilable on Win10 in a similar fashion, but this question is about the WinSock control, not MSFlexGrid).
EDIT: additional info: I have installed "VB6 Service Pack 6", VB version is "Version 9782 VBA retail 6.0.9782", and the version on the mswinsck.ocx file itself is 6.1.97.82 (and thanks to the comments, I know a newer one exists: 6.1.98.16)
I have run into this problem often on Windows 10 machines and resolved it by unregistering and re-registering each OCX using an elevated Command Prompt:
Open a Command Prompt window from the Start Menu by right-clicking it and choosing "Run as administrator". It is important that your Command Prompt window is titled "Administrator: Command Prompt".
Go to SysWOW64 folder by typing cd \Windows\SysWOW64
Unregister OCX by typing regsvr32 -u mswinsck.ocx
Re-register OCX by typing regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx
That usually fixes the problem.
If you use Visual Studio Installer 1.1 to deploy applications, you will probably have the same issue on Windows 10 systems you deploy to. The installer doesn't seem to properly register files. If you use Visual Studio 2019 and the Setup extension, that will build an installer that properly registers the OCX, in my experience.

Aldebaran's Pepper sdk for android/Robot sdk 0.9 "Robot SDK'0.9' is not complete. Please download it again or re-create the robot application."

When trying to install the android sdk for Aldebaran's pepper robot on my computer following this official tutorial:
Step 1: android.aldebaran.com/doc/installation.html
Step 2: android.aldebaran.com/doc/create_project.html#create-project
When trying to launch the Virtual Robot Environment of Pepper's tablet on my computer this message is printed: "Robot SDK'0.9' is not complete. Please download it again or re-create the robot application."
So far I have tried the following on my Ubuntu 16.04 64bit computer:
Uninstalling and re-downloading/installing the Robot sdk over the robot sdk manager provided by the android sdk for Pepper
Uninstalling and re-downloading/installing the android sdk for Pepper
Deleting, recreating and creating the android studio application turning it into a robot application
Removing other non essential android sdks
Moreover I also tried the following on another computer running windows 8.1 64bit:
Repeating the tutorial installation
Downloading and installing older version such as 2.22 and 2.11 of the android studio and repeating the tutorial installation.
Each time after I have completed Steps 1 & 2 when I want to start building or launching the application it fails on step B from this tutorial: android.aldebaran.com/doc/run_debug.html#run-debug and prints the Error mentioned above.
The project structure is identical to the one in the tutorial and I am able to sync the project via maven. But as I cannot actually launch the virtual robot environment or run the application I cannot make use of this sdk.
I have also found a similar question being asked on stackoverflow but there hasn't been a response yet. Also I don't understand the comments.
stackoverflow.com/questions/42824942/robot-sdk-0-9-is-not-complete-please-download-it-again-or-re-create-the-robot-a
I tried using another computer with windows 10 64bit freshly formatted so I installed Java jdk & jre 1.8.0_121 and android studio 2.3.1 as I couldn't find 2.3.3:
Repeated the tutorial installation
But still the same error message.
I got mine to work doing the following:
go to your current android SDK folder
rename the tools folder to tools-old
create a new Folder named tools
download this: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/android-emulator/+archive/android-7.1.1_r1/windows.tar.gz
unpacke it into your new tools folder
Make sure you have your AVD Options set to arm and not x86
and that "Use Host GPU" is enabled
After that the emulator worked.(note that it takes quite long to launche)
The suspected cause is that the Pepper emulator tries to use the emulator-arm.exe wich is not availible in the standart installation of Android Studio
You should try installing Android Studio 2.3.3 on Windows 10, 64-bit. I know that works at least.
I got this working finally thanks to theGary's hint above. No need to wipe out your whole tools directory though -- I was able to get the x86 Pepper emulator running (on Mac in my case) by copying these files and directories from the Android sdk/emulator directory into the sdk/tools directory:
emulator64-x84
qemu
bin64
lib/pc-bios
lib/ca-bundle.pem
Then edit your run/debug configurations and change the “robot app” AVD options from armeabi-v7 to x86.

while installing vc_redist.x64.exe, getting error "Failed to configure per-machine MSU package."

While I am trying to install vc_redist.x64.exe on Windows 8.1
getting following error:
Failed to configure per-machine MSU package.
Posting answer to my own question as I found it here and was hidden in bottom somewhere -
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/64baed8c-b00c-40d5-b19a-99b26a11516e/visual-c-redistributable-for-visual-studio-2015-rc-fails-on-windows-server-2012?forum=vssetup
This is because the OS failed to install the required update Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu.
However, you can install it by extracting that update to a folder (e.g. XXXX), and execute following cmdlet. You can find the Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu at below.
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\469A82B09E217DDCF849181A586DF1C97C0C5C85\packages\Patch\amd64\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu
copy this file to a folder you like, and
Create a folder XXXX in that and execute following commands from Admin command propmt
wusa.exe Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu /extract:XXXX
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:XXXX\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.cab
vc_redist.x64.exe /repair
(last command need not be run. Just execute vc_redist.x64.exe once again)
this worked for me.
I would like to give you a background on Universal CRT this would help you in understanding as to why the system should be updated before installing vc_redist.x64.exe.
A large portion of the C-runtime moved into the OS in Windows 10 (ucrtbase.dll) and is serviced just like any other OS DLL (e.g. kernel32.dll). It is no longer serviced by Visual Studio directly. MSU packages are the file type for Windows Updates.
In order to get the Windows 10 Universal CRT to earlier OSes, Windows Update packages were created to bring this OS component downlevel. KB2999226 brings the Windows 10 RTM Universal CRT to downlevel platforms (Windows Vista through Windows 8.1). KB3118401 brings Windows 10 November Update to the Universal CRT to downlevel platforms.
Windows XP (latest SP) is an exception here. Windows Servicing does not provide downlevel packages for that OS, so Visual Studio (Visual C++) provides a mechanism to install the UCRT into System32 via the VCRedist and MSMs.
The Windows Universal Runtime is included in the VC Redist exe package as it has dependency on the Windows Universal Runtime (KB2999226).
Windows 10 is the only OS that ships the UCRT in-box. All prior OSes obtain the UCRT via Windows Update only. This applies to all Vista->8.1 and associated Server SKUs.
For Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 the Windows Universal Runtime must be installed via KB2999226. However it has a prerequisite update KB2919355 which contains updates that facilitate installing the KB2999226 package.
Why does KB2999226 not always install when the runtime is installed from the redistributable? What could prevent KB2999226 from installing as part of the runtime?
The UCRT MSU included in the VCRedist is installed by making a call into the Windows Update service and the KB can fail to install based upon Windows Update service activity/state:
If the machine has not updated to the required servicing baseline, the UCRT MSU will be viewed as being “Not Applicable”.
Ensure KB2919355 is installed. Also, there were known issues with KB2919355 so before this the following hotfix should be installed.
KB2939087
KB2975061
If the Windows Update service is installing other updates when the VCRedist installs, you can either see long delays or errors indicating the machine is busy.
This one can be resolved by waiting and trying again later (which may be why installing via Windows Update UI at a later time succeeds).
If the Windows Update service is in a non-ready state, you can see errors reflecting that.
We recently investigated a failure with an error code indicating the WUSA service was shutting down.
To identify if the prerequisite KB2919355 is installed there are 2 options:
Registry key:
64bit hive
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.14
CurrentState = 112
32bit hive
HKLM\SOFTWARE\[WOW6432Node\]Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.3.1.14
CurrentState = 112
Or check the file version of:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wuaueng.dll
C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng.dll
is 7.9.9600.17031 or later
I faced a similar problem but in my case I was trying to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 on Windows Server 2012 R2. However the root cause should be the same.
In short, you need to install the prerequisites of KB2999226.
In more details, the installation log I got stated that the installation for Windows Update KB2999226 failed. According to the Microsoft website here:
Prerequisites To install this update, you must have April 2014 update
rollup for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2
(2919355) installed in Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2. Or,
install Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Or, install Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and for Windows Server
2008.
After I have installed April 2014 on my Windows Server 2012 R2, I am able to install the Visual C++ Redistributable correctly.
The OS failed to install the required update Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu.
However I tried to find the particular update from -
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\469A82B09E217DDCF849181A586DF1C97C0C5C85\packages\Patch\amd64\Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu.
I couldn't find it there so I installed the kb2999226 update from here (Windows 10 Universal C runtime)
Then I installed the update according to my OS and after that It was working fine.
In my case and while installing VS 2015 on Windows7 64x SP1, I experienced the same so tried to cancel and download/install the KBKB2999226 separately and for some reason the standalone update installer also get stuck searching for updates.
Here what I did:
When the VS installer stuck at the KB2999226 update I clicked cancel.
Installer took me back to confirm cancellation, waited for a while then opened the windows task manager and ended the process of wuse.exe (windows standalone update installer)
On the VS installer clicked "No" to return to installation process. The process was completed without errors.
I also got that error when trying to install the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable on my Windows 7 SP1 machine.
I solved my problem by installing the Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable from here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

Error Installing Windows 10 development tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC on Windows 8.1

I am running Windows 8.1 and I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise RC with Blend.
I am trying to install the Windows 10 development tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC and getting the following error:
ExecuteError: Package (VSSecondaryInstaller_box) failed: Error Message Id: 1603 ErrorMessage: Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294
Has anyone else gotten this error and found a solution to successfully install?
Through a quick google of the error code you provided, I found an article with the following post:
To get unblocked, go to https://dev.windows.com/downloads/windows-10-developer-tools. Scroll to the bottom of the page and install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows 10 emulators outside of Visual Studio setup.

I cannot speak for the solutions' effectiveness personally, but it was a marked answer. I hope this helps!
We've fixed this issue, and have released an update as of 7PM PDT 30 April 2015.
New installs of Visual Studio 2015 RC should expect to no longer encounter this problem, unless you lose your internet connection during installation. (That is, this error now indicates that the Windows SDK or Windows Emulator setup invoked by Visual Studio setup has lost internet connectivity and cannot download necessary files.)
To fix the issue, re-run setup and select the features "Universal
Windows App Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile"
again.
If you have already installed Visual Studio and encountered this problem, you can now modify your Visual Studio installation to successfully install.
Go to Program & Features, select Visual Studio 2015 RC, and select Change.
Click Modify, then select the features "Universal Windows App
Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile", and click
Update.
Note that "Universal Windows App Development Tools" will be already selected. This is expected. Keep it selected, and click Update.
An alternate solution is to install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows Emulators separately. Go to https://dev.windows.com/downloads/windows-10-developer-tools. Scroll to the bottom of the page and install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows 10 emulators outside of Visual Studio setup.

Installed Windows 10 installed from scratch.
Installed VS2015 from ISO.
VS2015 failed to install the Windows 10 emulators.
No loss of connectivity.
Here's my 2 cents. I tried all the methods in all the forums and the tools failed to install for me on Windows 10. Then as a last resort, I enabled 'Developer Mode' in Settings and tried installing the tools again and voila! They did.

VS 2012 Update 3 broke my VS

I am using Windows 8 64 bit machine with VS 2012 ultimate. After installing Update 3 and restarting the machine, I get following error whenever I try to open VS.
---------------------------
devenv.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The said file is already present in C:\Windows\System32 folder. Please let me know what can be done here..don't want to reinstall that monster again.
You need to check where your projects are being loaded. I have VS installs under both x86 and 64. You'll need downloads for both on a 64 bit operating system.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
Please see:

Some basic tips:
Ensure you have run the install with Administrator rights.
VS won't always ask for a computer restart. However, reboot your computer.
A note about this update.
Note Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server (TFS) installation
mechanics are different. The Visual Studio update installs on top of
whatever is already installed on the computer. The TFS update is a
full layout that replaces whatever is installed on the computer.
Before you try to apply the TFS update, make sure that you have a full
backup of your current databases. If the TFS update installation
fails, you will be unable to restart the update or roll back to the
earlier version of TFS without performing a restore procedure.

If you get this error it means you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 Update 3.Try to download it from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 .Hope this helps.
Since it is a 64bit system, copying the missing file to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder should solve your problem. If it keeps failing for other dll just keep copying.
With same error (MSVCR110.dll not found) really reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 not solved all problems. Some VS tools report - not found msvcr110_clr0400.dll. After repair installation of .net 4.0 (or 4.5/4.5.1) all work fine.
