Microsoft Web Platform Installer 4.0 fail - iis

Because my hard drive is nearly full, I find I don't use the (full)IIS7 and uninstall it to release hard drive space in my vista computer.
However, after that, I can't do many download installations through 'Microsoft Web Platform Installer 4.0", for example, download and install webMatrix 2.
I install the IIS8 express, I still can't do many download installation through MWPI 4.0, even I can't uninstall the MWPI from my computer. thanks advanced

I talked to the guys on the WebPI team, and they confirmed there is a bug. WebPI installs a plugin into inetmgr that occasionally doesn't get cleaned up after uninstalling IIS. THis causes WebPI a lot of trouble. Give this a try:
Install Full IIS
Uninstall existing WebPI
Uninstall Full IIS
Re-install WebPI
After doing these steps, everything should work. Sorry for the confusion.

Cannot uninstall / repair / install Node.JS to my system

I installed node.js to work on a discord bot with VSCode but it didn't work.
I reinstalled it but ticked the 'install chocolatey' box this time, halfway through the installation I got 3 trojan alerts from my AV, and cancelled the installation.
Since then, I have been unable to uninstall, repair or reinstall Node.JS, through the Windows 10 uninstall function or from the Node.JS .msi file.
Each time I try, I get the same error message:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed."
I've removed all instances of Node.JS from my program files and %appdata%, I've ensure the Installer Service is running, and yet the Node.JS application still shows in the Uninstall Tool and when I try to uninstall / modify / reinstall, it shows the same error, and seems to think it's still installed on my system! Not even Node.JS commands work in my CMD!
I've got no idea how to fix this, and I don't want to use glitch anymore to write my bot, so please help- or it seem's I'll have to factory reset my PC and hope that resolves the issue.
Thanks in advance, guys.
Godspeed.
EDIT: I tried installing a newer version hoping it would overwrite old Node.JS files. Didn't work. Issue still occurring.
Do these:
Open command prompt as Administrator and run /sfc scannow. It will scan and replace corrupted files.
Restart your PC when the scan is done.

I stopped the installation of package abruptly in sdk manager in Linux. Thereafter the window does not open

I am using Android Studio in Ubuntu 14.4 lts. While installing certain packages through Sdk Manager, i stopped them, as i realized i didn't need them. After which i could not open the sdk manager altogether.
I tried running it from Android-Studio,
I tried running it from the terminal by entering the installed android folder then Sdk/tools and executing ./android as well as ./android sdk
I tried separately downloading stand-alone sdk tools and tried running it , but that didn't help too
I found such problems already dealt but in Windows, there the path is edited or the java_exe is set.
But i dint find any useful suggestion in case of Linux.
I am finding things really helpless by now. Please help!

Set version Info does not exist error after installing MSBuild Extension Pack for DotNetNuke module creation

The PC at work finally kicked the bucket and I needed to install MSBuild Extension Pack on my new PC so that I could continue creating DNN modules for my website. For whatever reason after I install it, I am getting the same error as if it is not installed
Set version Info does not exist in project c:\users\...
Here is what I have tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Restarting computer and VS several times
Starting new project and trying to build it (gives same error)
Looking online for documentation and/or videos on how to install this properly (no luck)
My current version of windows is win7 x64 and the version of DotNetNuke that I am creating modules on is DNN 6.2.5. The version of MSBuild I have installed is 3.5.14 and 4.0.11. I am using VisualStudio 2012.
Did I miss a step in installation? Should I have used Community tasks?
After several restarts (and several rinse and repeat of the above 'tried' list), I installed MSBuild.Community.Tasks.v1.4.0.00.msi. After installing this my module template was able to build the project without error. Unfortunately, due to lack of documentation I do not know if you need both the extension pack AND community tasks in order for this to work, only that community was necessary in this case. For this reason I will leave the extension pack installed for now.

Unable to install iis manager on windows 8.1

I get an error while trying to install IIS manager from "Turn on off windows features" on a windows 8 machine. Just before trying to install this I install Visual Studio community online and rebooted my machine. Visual Studio works fine.
I also made sure all updates are installed on my machine and also rebooted and tried installing IIS manager.
The error that I get is "The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction"
Thanks

Try to turn off your antivirus before install IIS.
I had the same problem and spent hours trying to find out the root cause. Tried to disable anti virus and other options as discussed in forums on the internet.
Here is how i resolved the problem.
Open up msconfig -> go to boot tab -> select Safe boot (Minimal) -> Apply -> Okay
Your machine should restart in safe mode and you should be able to successfully install IIS from the "Turn Windows Feature On/Off" section as described by others.
After the installation is complete, run msconfig again to unselected Safe boot so that you log in to the normal desktop environment on restart. Enjoy!
Just now i also faced that problem and this is how fixed the problem.
The reason can be another server which running on your pc, is using the same port as IIS. (e.g: 80 or 8080).
According to my solution, I started the wampserver. then click on wamp icon on the task bar. then opened the httpd.conf file from Apache.
find (ctrl+F) the "Listen 80" and replace it to "Listen 8080" or any other. save it.
restart your pc and try to install the IIS manager again.
hope it will works!! Good luck.
