Cygwin no available download site - cygwin

I have tried from my office it show available download site. Then I used same installer (setup-x86_64.exe) at home it not show anything. Both my pc (office and home) i set up google dns. Is it because im using wireless connection at home? Please advise. Thank you.

I had the same issue. i changed my setting in "Select Your Internet Connection" to "Use Internet Explorer Proxy" instead of "Direct Connection".It worked like a charm. I guess the issue is due to the proxy layer at work.

Just go to website
https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
Chose the mirror web address nearest to you by clicking right and select the option "SAVE LINK ADDRESS" from the menu.
Paste it into the "USER URL" then click "ADD" and press "NEXT". Hope it will work. Good Luck.......!

I just met the same problems. At the very beginning, I chose the first option which is directly connect, but I can not get any downloading websites as the image showed above. Then I tried to back and chose the second one which is select your internet collection, the same result is displayed on the screen.
The solution is that we have to restart the installer and directly choose the second option. If you still don't get any websites, please be patient, try one more but still need to restart the installer. I just tried three times, maybe four times, which I can not remember, but it worked finally.
Hoped that can help you guys.

Had the same error today, my solution was to :
move the setup-x86_64.exe out of the Download folder into e.g. c:\tmp
i think the cygwin setup process has some problems with creating a temporary file in the same directory of its installer due to a lack of permissions and does not show an error message

The solution for me was enabling TLS 1.2 support in Internet Properties. But hold on! You'd better update your Windows before, because there is an update that enables support for this protocol by default. If you don't want to update your Windows, for reasons, follow these steps:
Go to Internet Properties, you can find this in start menu, in control panel, or hit Win + R and run: Inetcpl.cpl.
Go to "Advanced" tab.
Scroll to "Security" section.
Check Use TLS 1.2 option.
Run Cygwin installer again and now it should work. If not, maybe try with other security options.
How did I find out this
After a few failed install attempts, I decided to look for some hints in Event Viewer, and to my surprise, I found them. In System logs I spot lots of errors from Schannel service with a meaningless description:
The following fatal alert was received: 70.
I Googled for further explanations. Errors like these are caused by SSL failures, so something wrong was happening between Cygwin installer and Cygwin site. Something in my head told me to check Internet Properties for options relating to security, so I did and I found disabled protocols.

Step1: select use internet setting.
Step2: "http://cygwin.refractal.net/" add this URL.
This works for me.
Also, https://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst has several alternate URL's, depending upon the request location (your location).

I do not have admin privileges on this windows 10 host, but this worked:
setup-x86_64.exe -B -O -s http://mirror.clarkson.edu/cygwin
which allowed me to install cygwin from that one mirror site.

Do you have K9 filter installed by any chance ? I have the same problem posted, but I do know my issue is the K9 filter.

Add one of the site in http://cygwin.com/mirrors.lst manually
and select one of the internet connection type which is appropriate for your internet connection. and proceed...it worked for me

i found a solution to this problem:
first, go to https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html , look for your location and click onto the FTP link.
Then, you should see 4 folders:
noarch,
unsupported,
x86,
x86_64
click on "go back" or something like this (go back 1 folder).
Then you should see a many folders. Search the"cygwin" folder and simply drag it to your desktop. Now you should have a shortcut to this FTP Folder. Now, right-click the shortcut and click onto "properties" and copy the URL.
Now, you can open the installation program.
Click on "Install from Internet",
All Users / Just Me (your choice),
Use System Proxy Settings.
Now you will get an error message (if you already got that error, it wont show up again). Ignore the error and it will ask you for "available Download Sites".
Paste the URL from the shortcut into the "User URL" and click on "add".
Then, a "Select Package" Window will show up. click on "all" and then on "next".
Finished!
(Im using firefox and windows 7 32bit VM VB)
Now some guys will ask: Why didnt you just put the ftp link directly into the setup?
Well, i tried that and setup crashed on me every single time. With the shortcut it worked fine.
I hope this will help. (my english skills are trash, i know)

"Run as administrator" did the trick for me ....
(Win 7) If run without the list is blank, for whatever reason admin privileges are needed for the mirror list to load.

In Select Connection Type Page, Select Direct Connection and click Next
User URL text box ftp://cygwin.mirrors.pair.com and Click Add
Select the same URL from Available Download Sites list and proceed Next.
It worked for me.

I had the same issue. Disabling kaspersky solved it. There are a list of programs known to interfere with cygwin functionality. Please find the list here here(4.44)

Solution
Put one of mirrors to the URL window of installer.
If list of mirror urls is not available, use the below link to get list of
mirror urls
Also here is working mirror url

A silly problem-solution with the same symptoms, sharing for future reference - I was using an old installer, downloading the latest version fixed this immediately

You Should try adding this site
it is working for me.
Japan: ftp.iij.ad.jp(ftp), ftp.jaist.ac.jp(ftp), ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp(ftp), ftp.iij.ad.jp(http), ftp.jaist.ac.jp(http), ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp(http)

Excel VBA help documentation install

How can VBA help full, offline accessible documentation install into Microsoft Excel 2013?
I have tried to download this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40326, but I cannot open help sections.
I have already tried to modify my installation, but cannot find any options related to this in setup.
Trick to open the file is double click the file. One pop-up as per image shown below will appear.
Please uncheck the tick mark ie remove it in the check-box Always Ask before opening the file.Then open it. It will be opened with its contents. HTH
Edit :
I am able to open these documents by trick adopted by me. Screen shots shown here.
After opening Excel Developer Help File I am getting the index on the left side and selected page opened on the right side which can be fully navigated. Please let me know what you are looking for. Apart from this There is an opening page where references to web url's are presented.
In a connected world security updates are a fact of life for a Long time. Microsoft have done a mighty job of securing Windows starting with XP SP2 released in Aug 2004. Since then a string of updates have reduced the humble CHM to the status of a humble local help system. It's a shame but we have had to move on.
Please note and make sure downloading your CHM's to a local drive!
Because files downloaded off the Internet - including ZIP files and CHM files contained in those zip files - are marked as as coming from the Internet and so can potentially be malicious, so do not get browsing rights on the local machine.
A explicitly 'unblock' of your downloaded CHM file may solve your problem. Please try in Windows Explorer and in a local drive (!) before going the next installation steps for Office 2013:
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to your download folder
Find your CHM file
Right click and select Properties
Click the Unblock button on the General tab
Here's what the dialog looks like:
I remember (not sure) the Unblock button may appear in NTFS filesystems only.

When I try to open hyperlinks in a Microsoft Office program like Excel or Outlook the following message is shown:
Your organization's policies are preventing us from completing this action for you. For more info, please contact your help desk.
How can I resolve this so it opens Hyperlinks with my default browser?
The "official fix" does not support Windows 10. The solution below works for Windows 10:
Create a new text file with the content below and save it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.shtm]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.shtml]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\IEXPLORE.EXE\" -nohome"\
Change the extension from .txt to .reg (you might need to show extensions; see simple tutorial here).
Execute the file (double-click it).
That's it! Problem solved!
(Source here)
Method 3 - Step 3 from Microsoft support page Hyperlinks are not working in Outlook:
Verify that the String (Default) value of the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .html" key is "htmlfile"
Select Start > Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then select OK.
Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .html
Make sure that the value of the String (Default) is "htmlfile". If it's not "htmlfile", right-click (Default), select Modify, input htmlfile in the Value data box, and then select OK.
Exit Registry Editor.
In my case .html default value was incorrectly set to to FirefoxHTML.
I modified the *.reg file to use Chrome (also had to set Chrome as the default browser in Win 10 Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Web browser), then the hyperlinks in Excel worked. (Note: I had also removed IE11 from Win 10, and did not have to re-install it):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.html]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.shtm]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.shtml]
#="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
"PerceivedType"="text"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\htmlfile\shell\open\command]
#="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" -nohome"\
With some search about organization's policies i found the answer in this link.
It worked for me. I've downloaded the fix-it for Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 and after run and reboot the hyperlinks work now.
The official microsoft way did not work for me. I had to do the following:
- Go to Control Panel -> Programs
- Click "Set your default programs"
- (you should now be at "Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs")
- Select on the browser of your choice (I went for chrome) and
- Click "Set this program as default"
(Also shown in this video)
I have just discovered exactly what works for me with the same problem but in Outlook 2013. I have a different key (lets say it's called webpage) under HKCU that has my default browser shell associations. The .html key points to it: (default) = webpage.
Firefox is the default browser under keys HKCU\webpage\shell\firefox but Outlook gives me the error Your organization's policies are preventing us from completing this action for you. For more info, please contact your help desk. even though Firefox works as my default browser in every other app (that I have used it in, probably haven't tried Excel).
When I add keys HKCU\webpage\shell\open\command without any (default) values or any other values and restart Outlook, my links work as expected. Seems as though Outlook is, for some reason, checking that these keys exist, even though it doesn't actually use them, as my link opens in Firefox still.
UPDATE: Windows 10.1709 appears to now not only require the open shell command but also USE it, even though it's not listed as the default, so you now need to have the command's (default) value populated. I see this same behaviour with Thunderbird and just pasting a URL into the start run dialog as well.
Re-setting Outlook and Firefox (or your browser of choice) as default Mail app and Web browser in Control Panel > Default Programs solved it for me.
If you have Notepad++ make sure you have not associated the .htm and .html file types with Notepad++!!
Fix: Notepad++ > Settings > Preferences > File Association > remove
.htm and .html from the far right side Registered extensions >
restart Outlook/your MS Office application.
All proposed solutions didn’t work for me, but the following worked.
While MS wants you to believe your organization is the culprit, it may not be like that...
I noticed that, at the very same time this problem started in Outlook, IE got disabled.
MS silently disabled IE during an recent update, because there is Edge.
The very logic result of disabling IE is that Outlook no longer can open hyperlinks in your favorite default browser, even though that isn't IE. And note, it even can't open it in Edge, when IE is disabled. And this is where Microsoft messed up.
So we need to enable IE, even though we never use it. Go to "Control Panel" -> "Program and Features" -> "Turn Windows features on or off", and check the checkbox next to "Internet Explorer 11".
Hope this helps, I could not find this solution anywhere, even not on the MS site.
To make this work for me I had to completely delete the registry keys first, then paste in the *.reg file fix from above. I think I had some real garbage in there.
What worked for me was to close Outlook and Word (etc.), open IE, go to SETTINGS, go to advanced, click RESET, click yes at the confirmation and let it reset all settings. I then re-opened Word and could follow links.
Since this is a relatively easy fix, and also listed on the MS site as an official method of fixing, I'd recommend starting with this one. Ref. https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/310049/hyperlinks-are-not-working-in-outlook

what does 0x80040E14 mean in Sharepoint

Sorry about this question, i know it's very imprecise but i 've been trying for a long time to add a new item a row in a sharepoint site from a custom form but the server response the error 0x80040E14 what does it mean?. This site has a lot of subsites and was made a long time ago. I don't know much about Sharepoint (how it's structured, adding new sites inside another, etc) moreover i don't have the source for the site either. Does anybody give me a piece of advise about how to face this error?, I've been searching for validation and tried to change the settings but nothing.
Any suggestion will be welcomed
Thanks.
Hope these links would be useful:

Installed IIS but get blank page and it doesn't show up in Windows services list

I am trying to install IIS on my Windows 8.1 laptop and followed the directions at Microsoft for installing IIS. But when I type localhost, instead of getting the IIS start page, I get a blank page.
When I do Windows + R and type services.msc, the resulting list of services is long but does not include Internet Information Services.
When I look at the Windows filesystem, I do find the inetpub folder with four subfolders, including wwwroot. In the wwwroot folder is the iisstart.htm file that is supposed to display when I type localhost into my browser.
I have read that one possible problem is that both Skype and IIS want to use Port 80 and there is a conflict. So I decided to try to change the default port for IIS, but I found that I don't appear to have the IIS Manager on my system. When I go to Administrative Tools, Internet Information Services Manager is not on the list of administrative tools.
I added both the HTTP Redirection module as well as the IIS Management Service on top of the initial basic installation that Microsoft described. Still no luck getting IIS working or IIS Manager to appear.
I have tried to research this problem of getting IIS to work on Windows 8.1 with no success and am at a loss. Suggestions welcome!
In Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs And Features --> Turn Windows features on or off -> Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Common HTTP Features -> Static Content.
Also make sure .NET Extensibility 3.5 and .NET Extensibility 4.5 are checked.
Major fail by Microsoft. Why the hell would they turn off the most basic features by default. Go to Turn Windows features on or off (just search "features"). Look in IIS, WWW, Common HTTP Features. See attached image.screenshot
I have solved a couple of my problems.
I installed several more IIS modules: Static Content, IIS Management Console, and HTTP Errors.
I am now am able to find the IIS Manager in the Administrative Tools list and can use the IIS Manager.
Also, when I pressed Windows key + R and typed in services.msc, I still don't see Internet Information Services in the list. However, I do see "World Wide Web Publishing Service" in the list and it is shown as running. A page at Microsoft's Technet site indicates that it is related to IIS.
The HTTP Errors module gave me an error page rather than a blank page when I typed in localhost and also when I typed localhost/filename. This proved a HUGE help, because the error page identified the problem as a permissions issue. I thought I had dealt with the permissions issues, but this error page made it apparent that I had not.
When I typed in localhost, I got the permissions error. When I typed in localhost/iisstart.htm, I got the proper display of the file. When I created a simple .htm file, statictest.htm, and placed it in the wwwroot folder along with iisstart.htm, and typed localhost/statictest.htm, I got the permissions error.
So since one of the files was working and one wasn't, I decided to compare their permissions. (You do this using the File Explorer. Right click on the file, click on Properties, click on Security Tab. To make changes, click on Edit.) I saw that the successful one had a user listed that the unsuccessful one did not. So I added a user for the statictest.htm file to the permissions list with full control. That solved the issue for that file and it displayed normally.
I now am back to getting a blank page when I type in localhost. It must not be a permissions issue, because otherwise I'd get the permissions error page. I'm not sure what the cause of the blank page is. But as long as I can get files to display when I give their name, I am happy enough.
I am happy to report that my PHP installation is also working, at least as judged by the fact that the phpinfo() function displays properly.
So to sum up: if you are having problems getting IIS to work on Windows 8.1, try adding more IIS modules and make sure your permissions are in order. I think the most important ones to add are Static Content and HTTP Errors. Also, of course, CGI if you are going to use PHP.
I know this is an older post, but in case anyone, like me, already had "static content" enabled, there was one other thing that needed to be done to resolve this issue.
Under "Programs and Features" -> "Turn Windows features on or off"
Expand "Internet Information Services" -> "World Wide Web Services" -> "Application Development Features"
Make sure that "ASP.NET 4.5" (and if needed/installed 3.5) are selected. This should automatically check ".Net Extensibility" for the selected version, and it should also enable ISAPI filters and Extensions.
By default (for me at least) these options were not turned on when I enabled IIS. I was getting a 500 error in IE if I had "Show Friendly Error Messages" turned on in IE, but if I turned that option off, I would get a completely blank page.
For me, the reason was that I had two different HTTP handlers in the config with the same name. I didn't get any errors, just blank response.
I'm guessing that some other parts of the configuration may result in a similar behavior. Try commenting out some parts of Web.config file in case you cannot figure the problem out.
Same issue.
Win 10 upgraded from 7. Default documents server blank and without error.
Static Content and Default Document features already enabled.
I resolved by disabling both features, rebooted and tried(received error 404), enabled both features, rebooted, pages served properly.
For me, I was using Windows Server 2008 on an Azure machine, it was missing some packages which can be installed using "Web Platform Installer", and then search for "recommended server configuration for web hosting providers"
I encountered the blank page problem as well on IIS 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I had StaticContent installed as Windows feature.
What finally fixed it for me was changing the Path Type of the StaticFile Handler under [IIS Manager -> Server on left pane -> Handler Mappings -> StaticFile] from "Unspecified" to "File or Folder".
You can also change this on a per web site basis instead of the entire server (but I don't really see a reason why to do so, as it breaks pretty much any page). Make sure, however, that the site does not have an overriding setting for the StaticFile handler, as the site scoped one is preferred over the global one.

SharePoint COMException

When adding or editing a page in a SharePoint Pages library we get the following exception:
[COMException (0x81020016): Item does not exist
The page you selected contains an item that does not exist. It may have
been deleted by another user. Click "Home" at the top of the page to return
to your Web site.]
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPrequestInternalClass.RenderColumn.
The weird thing is, when we first do "Check in" and then click the Publish button it works perfectly. But clicking "Publish" directly generates theis error, BUT NOT ALWAYS!
The Pages library has publishing and item planning on, NO workflow (seeing as the person who adds / edit pages is also the approver) and Major/ Minor versions.
We use a content type derived from publishing page and a custom PageLayout.
I'm sure you would have already checked this but is there any more information in the ULS logs?
Also have you tried setting the debugger to break on all exceptions and does this give you more information? Go to Debug, Exceptions and tick Common Language Runtime Exceptions. Then go to Tools, Options, Debugging and untick Enable Just My Code. Finally attach to w3wp.exe.
If you are running Windows Server 2008 you could also try taking a dump file at the point the debugger breaks above. ADPlus might help if you are running Server 2003 but I don't have experience with it. You should then be able to open the dump file with DumpChk or WinDbg.
Edit: As discussed in the comments, this is code deployed to production that can't have its service interrupted. The only way you could create a dump file is programmatically. Have a look at this question I asked that will hopefully help you if you need to go down this route.
Other things to try if you don't want to get down and dirty with debugging is to try deploying your custom bits to a clean server. See if you can still reproduce the problem or if it changes.
I am assuming that you are using load balancing with 2 web servers.
The fact that it does not happen always points to there being a difference between the servers.
There are then a few things that you could check:
Are all the versions and service packs are the same on both machines
Have any of the servers had beta software installed
Is your code the same on both servers
One thing you could do to test without taking the system down: Is to remove the first web server from the cluster see if the error occurs, then add it back and do the same thing with the second web server.
