Trouble launching Samsung SDK TV Emulator - emulation

For some reason, my Samsung TV emulator versions 2.5.1 (2011) and version 3.5.2 (2012) work fine except for version 4.0 (2013). When I open it, it says
Emulator for Windows has stopped working. A program caused the program to stop working...
I installed the following on my machine and still doesnt seem to work:
Visual C++ Redistributable 2005 x86 and x64
Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 x86 and x64
Microsoft .NET 4.5 Latest
Java JDK (including JRE)
Latest Direct X from
(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35)
Any ideas why it shows this message? Thanks. I am on Windows 7 64 bit.

You may need to install fonts for Emulator. Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Samsung TV SDK 4\Emulator\Emulator2013_v4\bin\, open *.ttf files and select Install.

Android studio 2.3.1 32bit "Please provide path to android studio"

I have installed a 32-bit version of Android studio 2.3.1 on my windows 7 32-bit machine which is "No Android SDK, no installer". I have tried the 1.8 GB version of Android stdio but it is not compatible with my system. After running it gives an error which is in 2nd snap shot.
Can anyone help me in resolving the issue of Android studio 2.3.1 32-bit:
"Please provide path to android studio".
I have tried the 64-bit version on 64-bit machine - it is working fine, but the problem is with 32-bit version.
There is no installer available or SDK along with android studio in 32bit version.
Extract the zip file downloaded, go to the "bin" directory and run the studio.exe file, it will start installing the android studio on your PC.
here's a link to download the 32bit version.
https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
When it asks for SDK path,
Try this - C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Replace your name with the name of your PC.

Old and New Versions of Android Studio for Vista

Android Studio 2.1 seems to only support Windows 7 onwards, is it possible to install it on the Vista devices and run it? Is there any official link from Android which has the old versions of the Android Studio?

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.

How to build with v90 platform toolset in VS2012 without VS2008, using Windows SDK?

I use Visual Studio 2012 and this is the only version of Visual Studio I have installed. I need to build certain C++ projects with the v90 platform toolset (of Visual Studio 2008), but I can't install Visual Studio 2008.
I understand it is possible to use the v90 platform toolset by installing Windows SDK 7.0. How exactly is it done? If I simply use the web installer of 7.0 SP1, I still don't see v90 as one of the possible platform toolsets.
It is possible, but apparently requires some maneuvering and will not support building MFC applications. The following assumes that VS2012 update 4 is installed, but neither VS2010 nor VS2008 are installed.
Download the x86 DVD of SDK 7.0 SP1 (GRMSDK_EN_DVD.iso). Mount the ISO or extract its contents, and manually install the MSI files from the following folders under the Setup folder:
WinSDK (this may fail, it's ok)
WinSDKBuild
WinSDKInterop
WinSDKTools
WinSDKWin32Tools
vc_stdx86
vc_stdamd64
winsdk_intellidocs
WinSDKIntellisenceRefAssys
WinSDKNetFxTools
Download the x86 DVD of SDK 7.1 (GRMSDK_EN_DVD.iso). Mount the ISO or extract its contents, and manually install the MSI files from the same folders listed above (except winsdk_intellidocs, which doesn't exist).
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0. Copy the following files from Common7\IDE to VC\bin:
msobj80.dll
mspdb80.dll
mspdbcore.dll
mspdbsrv.exe
Now you should be able to choose the v90 platform toolset in Visual Studio 2012 and build with it.
Explanations (and sources):
Individual MSI installation is based on the second workaround from this connect report.
The requirement for both 7.0 and 7.1 is based on this question (both VS2010 and VS2008 are required to use v90 in VS2012!). SDK 7.1 is not needed if you have VS2010.
DLL/EXE copying requirement is based on yet another question. If you do not copy them, you will see error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515.
In addition to this answer I want to add that
You can install SDK 7.0 simply by running setup, there is no problem with it.
You can install SDK 7.1 by running setup, if you remove Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables first and fix following registry values:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client]
"Version"="4.0.30319"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full]
"Version"="4.0.30319"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client]
"Version"="4.0.30319"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full]
"Version"="4.0.30319"
You can (and probably should) restore these values to whatever they originally were after installation is complete.
Do not forget to install KB2519277 after this, it updates compilers in SDK 7.1 to SP1.
You don't need to copy any dll. MSBuild uses
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Setup\VC#ProductDir
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Setup\VC#ProductDir
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Setup\VS#ProductDir
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Setup\VS#ProductDir
to set up paths. It's probably wise to fix them to point to "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\" and "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\" as it might be useful elsewhere in build process.
Same goes for version 10.0 if you plan to use Windows7.1SDK toolset.
Use WindowsSdkVer.exe to set current SDK to 7.1 to defeat cryptic error in Microsoft.Cpp.x64.Targets(63,5) about missing unnamed required file. If the tool gives you error, then set these values manually:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows#CurrentInstallFolder
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows#CurrentInstallFolder
to point to newly installed SDK. The tool needs some registry keys from Visual Studio installation to work properly, but there are many and I'm not sure which are important.
Reboot. None of the above asks you to, but without reboot I got errors when trying to build a project.
As an aside, SDK7.1 adds v100 toolset, but it won't work, saying something about Could not find WindowsSDKDir variable from the registry. This is because v100 actually requires SDK7.0A which comes with Visual Studio 2010 and is not available separately. Windows7.1SDK toolset is the one which utilises VC2010 compilers if you need them.
Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.*.props files have a lot of relevant stuff if something fails in build system.
One addition/update for VS2013 to Yodans answer:
My working setup:
VS2013 has to use VS2010 libs
Using WinSDK 7.1 (Yodans 2.) build tools (v100) in VS2013
clean install, uninstalling everything mentioned in the sdk release notes (can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279 under category Details)
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 (7.1) (the Windows SDK core-component files)
Application Verifier
Debugging Tools for Windows
Windows Performance Toolkit
Microsoft Help Viewer 1.0
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Standard Edition
Additionally removed all .NET and VC++ related MS Software (not tested if necessary)
choosing Windows7.1SDK as Platform Toolset in VS2013
error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515
cl.exe uses msobj100.dll, mspdb100.dll, mspdbcore.dll and mspdbsrv.exe
Added to PATH C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE
Build works and binary is usable ( So now its tested Yodan ;-) )
My mistake:
copied files in 7. above to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin (Yodans 3.), believing this dir is in PATH, but it was not!
So better do as sugested by Yodan and tested by myself in 8. above
p.s. same answer is solving this problem:
Visual Studio 2013: CL.exe exited with code -1073741515

Crash when building with Visual Studio 2005 on Windows 7

I ran Visual Studio 2005 on Windows Vista (32-bit). I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and Visual C++ began crashing when building release executables. The actual crash is in mt.exe. I get the message, "mt.exe has stopped working".
Is there a way to solve the crash, or do I need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008?
I did a clean install of Windows 7 (64-bit) instead of an upgrade, and the problem went away.
You should check your .NET installation before reinstalling windows. Read this:

mt.exe is part of Windows SDK. Maybe you can try the version in Windows 7 SDK.
