RAD does not prompt for worksapce - workspace

When I open RAD it does not prompt for workspace. I verified in Preference=>General=>Startup and shutdown=>Prompt for workspace check box is checked. But still it does not prompt while start up. Any ideas how to get RAD to prompt for the workspace?
Thanks

I am surprised that setting the preferences has not worked.
It always works for me on my eclipse and RAD(and other eclipse based tools like WID).
The file(org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs) is where these preferences are persisited in teh file system.
Look for this under this directory
\configuration.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
I am not showing the entire file here (as that is just a clutter). Look at the SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG and ensure that it's value is true.
MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=5
SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true
eclipse.preferences.version=1

Short answer : Run RAD as administrator.
Long answer:
I faced the same problem on my computer. I believe the issue is that I didn't run RAD as administrator.
Even though eclipse clearly shows that YES, it will prompt me for a workspace, the content of the property file remained :
SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=false
On Windows 7, you need administrator privilege to write files to the "Program Files" directory. This would explain why RAD was never able to overwrite the file with my new preferences.
Running RAD as administrator is how I managed to fix the problem.

Run RAD
Go to Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces
Check the box "Prompt for workspace on startup"
Save your settings and restart RAD

Uninstall file in Start Menu applications list isn't always shown

After installing the application, the installer and uninstaller files are properly saved in the "install application folder" and in the "Start menu application folder" rispectively.
For example:
- "install application folder" = "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\"
- "Start menu application folder" = "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"
Sometimes, though, the uninstaller file is not displayed into the application folder of the Start Menu Installed Applications List (list of installed Applications displayed on the left by pressing the Windows keyboard key).
Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem. It doesn't appears each time I launch the Installer and I couldn't understand under which circumstances it appears.
Is there a possibility it can be solved by forcing a refresh of the Start Menu Installed Applications List? if this is the case, how can do it?
Thanks in advance to everyone for the possible help
EDIT: no solution but a workaround found here Inno Setup Start menu uninstall shortcut is not shown on Windows 10 2nd answer
Windows 8 and 10 hides shortcuts to uninstallers and help files on purpose, this is by design.
The Windows logo requirements says that you should only provide a single shortcut to your main application in the start menu. Only create multiple shortcuts if you have a suite of applications (like MS Office etc.). These guidelines have been in place for at least 20 years!

Error installing tizen studio on windows 10

No matter which of the three tizen studio 2.0 installers I try they all don't work as they won't accept any path. The CLI installer gives the most detailed description:
** The directory you specify is not allowed to install the Tizen Studio. Some tools of the Tizen Studio will not properly work in the directory with administrator privilege or read-only access rights for your account.=> path
I have tried starting the installer with admin rights and owning the destination folders. Additionally, I switched from JDK 9 to 8.
Still, there seems no way to get the installer running. Any ideas what the reason could be? Thanks!
I managed to install tizen studio and the SDK using the %appdata% path.
If anyone else has the problem, try e.g.
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Samsung\tizen-studio
This is definitely a flaw Samsung should take care of!
I've successfully installed the IDE version with the following method:
Download Tizen Studio Web IDE installer
Open installer with 7-zip archive manager
You should find tizen-sdk.zip archive
Open it and extract it into the C:\tizen-studio folder
Create C:\tizen-studio-data folder
Create sdk.info file inside C:\tizen-studio folder
Put following lines into this file
TIZEN_SDK_INSTALLED_PATH=C:\tizen-studio
TIZEN_SDK_DATA_PATH=C:\tizen-studio-data
You can download packages with C:\tizen-studio\package-manager\package-manager.exe
You can start IDE from C:\tizen-studio\ide\TizenStudio.exe
This worked for me, hope this helps...
#Henry was almost correct and his scenario works on CLI/IDE installers.
And here are actual restrictions on Win10x64 tizen-studio 2.0 installation I've found:
pointed SDK location needs to be in your user directory. For example:
C:\Users\MrSmith\Tizen\tizen-studio
Data location could be anywhere, but in case of CLI installation, it will be near SDK folder.
CLI installation actually does unzip only and all further system configuration needs to be done manually. So, if you need only CLI, you could unzip "web-cli_Tizen_Studio_2.0_windows-64.exe" with 7zip or any other proper archiver where you want and do further manual configuration. (See here https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/web-tools/cli)
Probably, if you login under Administrator you will be able to install SDK anywhere. Just "Run as administrator" doesn't work, at least for me.
My system params:
Win10 Pro x64
Oracle JDK 1.8.0_152
Have a fan ;)
I solved this problem that way:
create folder (eg Tizen_Studio)
inside created folder create new (tizen_studio and tizen_studio_data)
add all permissions for that folders for your windows account user
select folders in installation proccess
Enjoy!
The regular way which Samsung provides is working for me:
Make sure you have enough disk space (Tizen Studio needs about 700 MB
on Win10)
Create an empty folder with 2 empty subfolders (e.g. Tizen_IDE->studio (subfolder #1) -> data (subfolder #2)
The important part on Windows 10 is to navigate to YOUR users directory:
For example your user name is Bob. Go to C:\ -> Users -> Bob.
Then create there the empty folder "Tizen_Studio" with the 2 mentioned subfolders.
Check with right-clicking on the Tizen_Studio folder -> Properties -> Security if your Username (here Bob) is listed in groups and users. Click on your profile there in the security tab and look if the folder has full access rights inside the checkboxes (btw this should be automatically set if you choose the right described environment).
Now in the installer dialog you can choose the studio folder for the ide/sdk and the data folder for the installing data request path.
Thats it! Just important to install it inside your username folder!
I had this problem as well (on my Windows 8.1 machine), and ended up using the previous version of Tizen Studio Installer (version 1.3)
https://download.tizen.org/sdk/Installer/tizen-studio_1.3/
It even does not work for me in %APP_DATA% and also not running the installer with Administrative privileges.
But I finally found a solution which worked for me:
Create a new and folder somewhere
disable all inherit privileges on this folder
grant explicit all privileges for your users to this folder
remove all other privileges, especially these for Administrator
Use this folder for Installation
Write useful sofware for tizen ;-)
How bout removing 32 bit Java client and installing 64 bit on win 10?
Worked for me, no one seemed to notice that Installer opened in 7zip has an installer.jar which needs to be run with java client.
Thanks for the advises on opening installer with 7zip.

Atom installation error on Windows 10

I was getting this error when trying to install Atom using the installer.
I tried to run as Administrator but ever having the same error.
So I opened the Setup Log and found this line in many places of the log:
Failed to load local releases, starting from scratch: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\david\AppData\Local\slack\packages\RELEASES'.
To resolve this problem, I simply tried to change the AppData folder properties, unchecking the Attribute "Read-Only" and applying to subfolders.
After that, I could install the application and everything is working well.
I don't know whether what I did was the best solution, but it fixed my problem :)
Hope this help someone
If you have anti-virus installed on your system. Please disable it and try it once. Hope this will work for you because this worked for me like a charm.
One more thing you can check that your windows update service is also running. You check it out in Task Manager ->
So do this thing and check it out.
This is a permission related issue. Could be you don't have permission to write, in that case run as Administrator.
Right Click on the installer and select Run As Administrator.
If you still have the issue, disable your antivirus, defender or whatever you have to protect your PC from threats. Once Installed Enable it BACK
if you have Dropbox opened, close it.
You can try this:
open control panel
Windows firewall
click allow an app or feature through windows firewall
In that at right bottom click allow another app
Browse the downloaded atom.exe file and click open and click ok
first uninstall or disable the antivirus. In my case Guardian net secure was handling all the things of windows firewall. so i was not able to allow the app through windows firewall. therefore, it is necessary to uninstall these. then restart your laptop.
after restarting open control panel. go to windows firewall. on left top you will see
allow an app or feature through windows firewall . click on it. dialog box appears. click on change settings. at bottom click allow another app. then browse the downloaded file atom.exe. then install it
What worked for me was closing Slack and terminating any of it's processes in Task Manager.
This was what worked for me (Windows 11):
Go to properties>compatability on the installation file. Run the troubleshooter for compatibility, and it shoul provide a solution, wait, and if it works, select that it did so, and you’re all done.
To resolve this problem, I simply tried to change the AppData folder properties, unchecking the Attribute "Read-Only" and applying to subfolders.
After that, I could install the application and everything is working well.
This worked for me on Windows 11 home version.
Hope this helps
I managed to install by finding an older version.

How to get rid of the VMware error when starting Visual Studio 2012, but without disabling VMDebugger add-in?

I am getting the following error when starting Visual Studio 2012 as unprivileged user:
An error has occurred while trying to access the log file. Logging may not function properly.
A casual web search showed that the issue used to exist with VMware 6 beta, back in 2006. I also found one other user who experiences the same in a more recent VS version (2008) and it started only recently.
The title of the message box indicates that this comes from VMware. I have VMware 9 Workstation installed. The problem could be related to system updates or the update 2012.2 CTP and hasn't gone with the final 2012.2 update package.
The question:
How can I get rid of the error without actually disabling the VMDebugger add-in?
Temporary workaround:
There is a workaround, disabling VMDebugger in the "Add-in Manager". However, it even seems that unprivileged users are unable to successfully disable it. I had to start VS as admin (I am using SuRun for the purpose) to disable it and the error not reappearing upon next start of the IDE.
I had the exact same problem, this is how I solved it.
I monitored devenv.exe using procmon to find the log path, on my computer it was: %TEMP%\vmware-username
I checked the permissions on the log directory, and discovered that my user had no access - neither read nor write! I gave myself full access and deleted the old log files. That solved it for me.
I think this happened because UAC was disabled when I installed VS and VMware.
In Visual Studio, go to the menubar to VMWARE / About VMWare Virtual Debugger; the Debugger log file will be listed there, e.g. C:\Users\Phil\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware-Phil\vmware-vsid-1.log
Give your user full access to that file.
(This solution was for Visual Studio 2013, VMware Workstation 11.1.2, Windows 8.1.)
The fastest and easiest way to solve is...
1. Locate the folder %temp%\vmware-{username}
2. Delete this folder. The folder will be created by opening the Visual Studio.
Note: You need to open the Visual Studio without admin rights to resolve the issue!
Background: Mostly this happens if you use the VMware debugger plugin the first time under admin rights (because your app may need this right to run properly). This creates the folder under admin rights with the admin permissions. Everytime you open the Visual Studio with admin rights, you have no problems.
Examples
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\vmware-<username>-<PID>.log
Linux: /tmp/vmware-<username>/ui-<PID>.log

The fastest and easiest way to solve is...
1. Locate the folder %temp%\vmware-{username}
Go in windows+R %temp% , delete all , ready !

TortoiseSVN missing overlays in win8

I've recently installed a fresh win8 copy. After installing tortoiseSVN, it does recognize the folders as being under version control (the menu items are there), but no overlays on the icons.
I Checked the registry settings as described here: TortoiseSVN icons not showing up under Windows 7
But the first 9 entries are all for tortoiseSVN and there are 4 others, so no problems there.
What could be the problem?
Go to regedit. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers.
Add space before folders, example: "1TortoiseNormal" -> " 1TortoiseNormal".
Restart computer.
Works for me.
Go to TortoiseSVN > settings > Icon Overlays > Status cache changed from default to shell.
If the drive A, B or network is used check that drivew
Please try this :
Sometimes you just have to restart Windows (if not already done).
You could also have to do a "Cleanup" (right click, Tortoise SVN shell entry) of your working copy, and to check "Refresh shell overlays" in the window.
Also, please review "Icon overlays" tab of Tortoise settings (right click, Tortoise SVN shell entry, Settings) settings of your tortoise SVN, especially if your working copy is (for example) on amovible or network drive.
In my case, the problem was that I was working on a network drive. By default, Tortoise doesn't show icons on network drives.
To enable the icons on other types of drive, right-click in Windows Explorer and go to:
TortoiseSVN --> Icon Overlays --> Drive Types
This may also solve the problem in other cases, where other drives are in use and not showing icons for you.
you have to do an svn actualization (in my case a fully checkout). just restart the explorer (or computer) after configure the registry did not show the overlay icons in my case
Modifying the registry, tsvn clean up etc did not help anything.
Solved it by killing the process 'TortoiseSVN status cache' in task manager. Icons reappeared one by one after that.
In TSVN settings I've set the Status Cache to default (was None initially), but not sure this had anything to do with it. Also restarted explorer.exe to be sure.
I had an older/non-compatible version (1.6) of TSVN installed before updating to latest (1.8.8). This could have been part of the problem.
