Problem:
I was trying to install Ansys 15 64-bit on my Windows 8.1 64bit. In prerequisite check, it did not detect WIC as installed. The installer worked on my other laptop (also Windows 8.1 64 bit).
Solutions Tried
I knew WIC comes preinstalled and there is no installer for Windows 8.1. (A setup for XP was available...tried to install it anyway, unsuccessfully).
So, I tried updating my windows, checking system using SFC /SCANNOW etc.
Questios
1.How can I detect if WIC is installed on Windows 8.1?
(A similar question for XP was asked. Its solutions don't apply here)
2.How to install WIC on Windows 8.1? (I don't want to reinstall Windows)
I found the answer after going through my other laptop's registry. It seems that many programs (like Ansys etc.) determine the availability of WIC by the presence of the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WIC]
"NoRemove"=dword:00000001
Once I added this key the Prerequisite Check program detected WIC as installed.

My company recently deployed the Digital Guardian Platform (https://digitalguardian.com/products/digital-guardian-platform). Now Total Commander 64bit shows the following error upon startup:
This application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK
to close application.
The only help I found was the tip to install the 32bit version. That worked. However now I am missing the icon overlays from TortoiseSVN 64bit. This annoyance can be solved by installing the 32bit version of TortoiseSVN as well. BUT as of version 1.7.something the TortoiseSVN installer doesn't let you install the 32bit version on a 64bit OS.
Does anyone know whether it is either possible to run Total Commander 64bit under the Digital Guardian Platform or TortoiseSVN 32bit on a 64bit OS?
here's my system specs;
Arch Linux x86_64,
Kernel: 3.6.10-1-ARCH,
Gnome 3.6.2,
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.4-1,
jdk7-openjdk 7.u9_2.3.3-1,
jre7-openjdk 7.u9_2.3.3-1,
jre7-openjdk-headless 7.u9_2.3.3-1,
lib32-libjpeg-turbo 1.2.1-1, libjpeg-turbo 1.2.1-1, libjpeg6-turbo 1.2.1-1
libpng12 1.2.50-2,
net-tools 1.60.20120804git-2,
unzip 6.0-6.
Ok, so there's the list of requirements that are installed, version numbers as well. Upon launch, the loading/splash screen won't even show, and then nothing... it just dies out. I attempted to launch it "aptana -v" and no output in the shell. I have looked for any error logs in ~/ , but nothing is there.
Other steps I've done is to delete any configuration folders/files for eclipse and aptana-secure in ~/. Also did a clean uninstall of just Aptana (not the dependencies), reinstall. Same result.
Any suggestions?
It appears that there is a mix up in the downloads. 32-bit and 64-bit got switched. If you are on 32-bit download 64-bit and vice versa. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
See issues below:

I currently use a Windows 7 Home Basic. I need to run a certain application, which is, as of now not supported, i.e. compatible with/by W7HB. I tried downloading Virtual PC with XP mode, which does not support W7HB. Hence, I have installed Fedora as a dual boot, as there exists a separate edition of the application for Linux. As I am new to Linux CLI, I would like to install a version of XP in Fedora, i.e. via Virtual XP, assuming it supports. However, I am not able to find any suitable article for the same. Any suggestions...???
The easiest way to do this is to use VirtualBox.
There are 2 options:
run W7HB as the 'host' and install VirtualBox.Then install a guest operating system such as Fedora or WXP inside virtualbox.
OR
run Fedora as the host and install VirtualBox. Then install a guest operating system such as W7HB or WXP.
Be warned that if you install Windows in any form in a virtual machine you will need a Windows installation key. This may require a phone call to Windows support.
There are other solutions - VMWare, KVM, ... but IMHO VirtualBox is the simplest
I just installed tortoisesvn on windows server 2008 but it is not showing any menus for tortoise when i right click any folder. can anyone help?
You probably have a 64-bit Windows and installed the 32-Bit version of Tortoise.
Install the 64-Bit version as well. Both versions can be installed parallelly. It even makes sense to do so: 64-Bit Explorer needs 64-Bit Tortoise, but other 32-Bit apps may need 32-Bit Tortoise.
I received a src archive from a friend who develops Qt apps on Linux on Kdevelop IDE. Is it possible to load the Kdevelop project in Windows in some IDE ? Is there a Kdevelop port on Windows without Cygwin/Msys etc ? Are there any workarounds or I should I have to install Linux and take charge?
Update : I visited the page as mentioned in the below answer, but there's no Kdevelop package in the KdeWin installer . See here
KDevelop 4 will also be available on Windows (together with a lot of other KDE4 software). It is currently in beta, but you can download a Windows installer. The installer also lets you install other KDE4 software and should come with the QT development files you will need to develop QT applications.
AFAICT, there is no port to Windows of Kdevelop4 and Kdevelop3 was run with cygwin - which, IMHO, is not really a robust solution.
It would probably be easier, and better, to install a Linux distro in a virtual machine and go at it from there. If you don't need access to Windows, you could just install a Linux on a separate hardrive and/or partition.
Install linux on virtual machine such as vmware or virtual box.
