I got the following error when I was debugging my D3D application in VS2015.
D3D11CreateDevice: Flags (0x2) were specified which require the D3D11 SDK Layers for Windows 10, but they are not present on the system. These flags must be removed, or the Windows 10 SDK must be installed. Flags include: D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG
I know I need to enable Graphics Tools in Win10 or run Dism /online /add-capability /capabilityname:Tools.Graphics.DirectX~~~~0.0.1.0 to enable it.
But the machine I am working on are not allowed to connect to the internet. Is there a way to enable that offline?
Thanks a lot.
For the November 2015 update (build 10586) of Windows 10, you can find the Feature On Demand CABs for the Graphics Tools package here. You can install it via dism as noted in the documentation with that package.
Keep in mind that there's a lot of stuff in Windows 10 that's a number of 'feature on demand' parts of Windows including .NET 3.5, language packs, etc.
Not sure, but maybe the Graphic tools can ben installed from the iso of your Win10 ?

I need to install Microsoft XML Parser 4.0 from Inno Setup.
How can that be done?
I was given a task to embed MSXML in the installer of ours. It's a proprietary piece of software our company makes (for accounting, it uses XML to store and exchange data). Apart from modern systems It's also going to be installed on many old systems using Windows XP.
I'm using Inno Setup 6.1.2.
Also, is there a quiet mode of installation as an option? So the users won't have to click anything and just be notified that MSXML was installed?
Did you Google this?
https://silent-install.net/software/microsoft/msxml_parser/4.30.2107.0
Eg:
msxml.msi /qn /L* "%temp%\XML Parser 4.30.2107.0.log" /norestart ALLUSERS=2
If you look at the Msiexec (command-line options) it does say the qn switch will display no user interface.
Somewhat of an aside, the requirement of installing both on XP and on 'modern' systems may create a conflict that you or your installer will have to resolve.
From Installing and Redistributing MSXML 4.0:
System Requirements
MSXML 4.0 is supported in Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows
Server 2008, Windows Vista Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and
Windows 2000
From Installing and Redistributing MSXML 6.0:
System Requirements
MSXML 6.0 is supported in Windows Vista; Windows 2000 Service Pack 4;
Windows Server 2003; Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1; Windows XP
Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2.
MSXML 6.0 is preinstalled with Windows Vista. For earlier versions of
Windows, you can install MSXML 6.0 as a separate download.
So you can only use MSXML4 below Vista. And with Vista and above you should be able to reply on MSXML6 already existing.
Your installer could perform an OS version check (alt ref) and then only install MSXML4 if needed. Or you might be able to detect specifically if MSXML6 is installed and then install MSXML4 only if not (assuming therefore its an older system).
But I would test your application (if you haven't already) and see if it will run against MSXML6; it may, without changes. If so then I would forget MSXML4 and include MSXML6 in the installer instead (*). That way your installer could just run it 100% of the time, and expect that on Vista and up it would just do nothing. Your installer would therefore be simpler plus you would be taking advantage of "MSXML 6.0 provides security and performance improvements over earlier MSXML versions." noted here.
(*) Unless you have to run on WinXP pre-SP1?
Brand new to app development and am having a bit of trouble activating an Android Virtual Device (AVD) for Android Studio (Windows 10). I am trying to install HAXM but receive the attached message.
Upon going into my /installed programs/ directory to uninstall Microsoft Hyper-V, the program is not listed. Would the Hyper-V program be listed under another name, or rather, could anyone please provide feedback as to resolving this message? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
For AMD system, you can use Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) under Windows 10 since Version 1803:
To enable Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) do the following steps:
From the Windows desktop, right-click the Windows icon and select Apps and features.
Under Related settings, click Programs and Features.
Click Turns Windows Features on or off.
Select Windows Hypervisor Platform
click ok and reboot.
Now create a new Android Virtual Device (AVD).
Yes the same was here too,
Ok there are 2 ways of solving this ,
First you can go to BIOS and disable the Hyper V and enable the VT x for intel. If you had not the VTx or with disabling Hyper v nothing has solved then come to Second solution.
The second is there is not a solution available for you and your computer just like me. Your cpu and computer cant install HAXM which mean you cant install and run emulator , but hang on, google has added new property to emulators to run without HAXM and you need to install those package of SDK api which has Amd virtualization or non HAXM, also even this one has not helped me, so if you were like me then you can use physical device for testing or installing linux instead of windows and use Hyper v to run emulator in android studio instead of HAXM, and i prefer Lubuntu cause of speed it will gives you if you wantes to install.
When I try to Install Application Request Routing I get an error "IIS Version 7.0 or greater is required to install Microsoft Application Request Rounting 3.0". Windows 10 has IIS 10.0, so it should be possible, but I guess that Microsoft hasn't fixed the version check yet. Are there any workarounds available for this?
Windows version: Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview. Build 10074.
Bit of hacky solution if it suits your requirement.
Open MSI file in tool called ORCA and remove Launch condition (highlighted in screenshot) as show in screenshot. Save modified MSI and use it for installing on Win10 preview machine.
Zorin is a version of Linux which is very Windows-like. I am looking at their home page:
http://zorin-os.com/
and it says:
Zorin OS gives users more flexibility. It allows you to use Zorin OS
alongside your current operating system and run Microsoft Windows
programs in Zorin OS with the help of WINE and PlayOnLinux.
Does this mean I could use Visual Studio 2012 on Linux?!?!
Ok, so Wine is a compatibility layer which allows you to execute windows executables on your linux system. PoL is just a graphical frontend with some others functionalities.
You can use it on any linux system, it's not exclusive to Zorin.
However, executing windows applications through wine isn't always successful, especially with huge projects as Visual Studio which is using tons of native windows functionalities.
And indeed, when we check the reports, VS2012 doesn't work at all.
You can always try to install it, but when even the installer doesn't launch... You know there is no luck.
As i just need the hard RT capabilities, can I install and run Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on a regular PC ? (dell or so ?), and UDP out some data ?
You can install Windows CE in a PC, but you would need to create your own image. See this tutorial in MSDN. Also google for CEPC.
Finally visit Mike Hall's blog. I remember reading a related article there, but I can't find it now. Anyhow, this blog is a great resource for Windows Embedded.
(From working with Windows CE 5.0, so there may be some differences, YMMV.)
You should be able to run Windows CE both in an emulator and installed on the device itself as the host operating system.
In the first case all you need is an emulator, which is provided with the development kit and in a more expensive version of Visual Studio. This will run the OS fine, albeit a bit slow depending on the architecture you choose to build the Guest OS for.
In the second case you will actually need to find or write drivers for the hardware that you want to run on and use. This will require the Platform Builder application (I believe it's a plugin to Visual Studio now) and knowledge of the hardware that you are running on. Windows CE itself does support x86 processors, although I don't remember if it supports all x86 processors (instruction sets) or just 486's.
If you want to go down the second route you also may be able to get an Intel Atom or AMD Geode board support package (BSP) which will help you develop the drivers.
