Desktop App Converter "Fatal Error 1000" - win-universal-app

I receive the following error when attempting to run the Desktop App Converter (Project Centennial):
Assert-RequiredFeatureEnabled: fatal error 1000: required feature is not installed or enabled. Please refer to machine setup instructions.
At C:\Users\%%%\Documents\DesktopAppConverter\converter_util\EnvironmentAssertions.ps1:40 char:9

+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (Assert-Required...p instructions.:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Assert-RequiredFeatureEnabled: fatal error 1000: required feature is not installed or enabled. Please refer to
machine setup instructions.
The relevant script is in EnvironmentAssertions.ps1:
$feature = Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Containers"
if (!$feature) {
throw "Assert-RequiredFeatureEnabled: fatal error 1000: required feature is not installed or enabled. Please refer to machine setup instructions."
}
I found no items in Windows Features that appear related to containers.
How can this error be resolved?
Windows 10 Pro insider preview (build 14316) and Desktop App Converter preview (0.1.8.release_2016-04-05_17-47_5aa8cc)

After looking around, it appears that the "Containers" feature is only on Enterprise versions of Windows 10 at the moment - perhaps they will extend this to Pro eventually, but I think that's why we can't get it working.

"An error occurred while creating the pipeline." when running powershell script in Azure pipeline self-hosted agent

When I run simple powershell with only ls command in it through Azure pipeline self-hosted agent I see error:
An error occurred while creating the pipeline.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : RuntimeException
The same script runs fine locally in the same folder on the same machine (when no Azure agent is involved). The pipeline has not been changed in months.
The execution policy is set to "Unrestricted".
There is no difference whether the agent is run with admin permissions.
I checked and the files in the folders of the agent do not look blocked or read-only.
We run tests through powershell scripts and they started to fail last week, without any obvious reason. The only thing that I have installed on the same machine, is Visual Studio 2022 Preview 5, but I have restarted the machine immediately after the installation has passed successfully and the next day the tests have passed.
I had a look through similar errors here, in stackoverflow, but they were not useful, including this one PowerShell "an error occurred while creating the pipeline" #Requires -Version 3.0
Do you have an idea what can cause this?
The PowerShell scripts started passing when I changed the Azure Powershell pipeline task version from 1* to 2* (the latest available for our pipelines).
I do not know why this fixed the issue, as I think the difference between these 2 version is that version 2* can be executed on agents that have operating system that is not Windows.

Error: Unable to get the remote environment variable 'WindowsDirectory' using msdeploy tempagent

When using msdeploy to deploy an IIS app to a remote server, using the Web Deploy On Demand (tempagent) feature, I am getting this error:
./myApp.deploy.cmd : Error: Unable to get the remote environment variable 'WindowsDirectory' on the computer
'myserver.mydomain.com'.
At line:1 char:1

Error: The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010108 (RPC_E_DISCONNECTED))
Error count: 1.
I'm using the auto-generated deploy script that gets created by the Package target in msbuild. I'm running in the directory that all those artifacts live. This is my script to run that script:
$target = 'myserver.mydomain.com'
$username = 'myusername'
$password = 'mypassword'
./myApp.deploy.cmd /T /M:$target /U:$username /P:$password /G:true
This is the script that is generated by the .cmd script, the same exact error happens if i run it directly:
SetParameters from:
"C:\Users\MaxCadmin\Desktop\Package\myApp.SetParameters.xml"
You can change IIS Application Name, Physical path, connectionString
or other deploy parameters in the above file.

I'm using the tempagent feature so that I don't have to go install Web Deploy on all my targets, and keep them all updated to the same version. I much prefer the prospect of using the Temp Agent, removing the need for any special configuration of the targets at all. I've confirmed that my target in this case does not have Web Deploy installed on it.
I believe it's the Temp Agent that is throwing the disconnect error at the end of the error message. I'm more concerned about the error regarding the inability to get the remote variable.
For what it's worth, I went on the remote server and created that env variable, with the value matching
that of windir, which is C:\Windows, and proved to myself that it was present in a new shell. But it didn't change the error at all.

Did you try this script for enabling nest virtualisation.
It looks like it checks all the prerequisites.

Could not setup filebeat on Windows Server 2012 R2

I setup a logserver on a Ubuntu machine. And I need to ship Windows Server 2012 Apache logs to logserver.
Now I am trying to setup filebeat on Windows server to ship logs to logserver: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-getting-started.html
Version : filebeat-1.0.1-windows
But I failed to start filebeat on my server . It threw following error on power shell:
Start-Service : Service 'filebeat (filebeat)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service
filebeat on computer '.'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Start-Service filebeat
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],
ServiceCommandException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotStartService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand
Anyone have the solution?
I was having this problem with Windows 10. I ran the following in the command window and found I had a config error in my .yml file:
filebeat -c filebeat.yml -configtest
Once I cleaned that up, the service started.
Try opening an admin cmd and run the filebeat.exe, you should the errors that would prevent the service from starting.

Nuget error after adding AzureCloudServce to existing MVC4 app

I have an MVC 4 application that I want to convert to an Azure Cloud Service. These are the steps I took:
Update-Package to get everything on the latest
I followed the steps at this blog
Build Solution (succeeds)
F5 -> Get error that VS2012 needs to run elevated
Restart VS2012 elevated -> get this error in Package Manager Console:
At C:\Users\jlearmouth\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\MeetingMinutes\packages\MvcScaffolding.1.
0.9\tools\init.ps1:35 char:45

ion]::AllDirectories) }
CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
The solution seems to run, but I don't like this error. I don't know what it means and I don't know what to do about it. Google has similar things but not the same MethodInvocationException... tried their solutions - nothing (mostly uninstall/reinstall MvcScaffolding)
What is this error and how do I fix it?
This looks like an error coming from the MvcScaffolding package. Have you tried contacting the author of this package? Go to this page and click the Contact Owners link on the left bar https://nuget.org/packages/MvcScaffolding/
