I am using Install Shield 2009 for creating myapplication deployement. I added the uninstall.exe along with the deployement. But During uninstall my application is not closed automatically and the related dll and exe files are left back undeleted by uninstall.exe. how can i solve this issue? appreciate some help regarding this...or direction towards already existing query or something will be of great help...please reply asap....thanx in advance
Here are some possible solutions:
Schedule FilesInUse dialog to be shown during uninstall
Create a custom action that will be executed only during the uninstall process and kill your application if it's already running.
For Windows Vista and upper versions one can use Restart Manager to solve this problem.

I'm trying to get VB6 installed on Win10, apparently there's a 'wizard' from Giorgio Brausi, 'Visual Basic/Studio 6 installer' but the web site seems to have gone. How can I do this?
Sorry not sure exactly which method worked but after another dozen failures today getting combinations of:
'visual studio 6.0 setup was not completed successfully'
or
'install Service pack 6'...which failed as it detected a newer version was loaded
or
'instal MSDN'
it finally worked. To get it loaded took two full days in the end.
Thanks

The simplest end easiest way I found is using a program called VB6InstallerSetup.
You just follow the steps in the wizard and it does everything for you.
Here is a fix to get the mouse wheel to work after the install
I have downloaded MongoDB from the official site as an .msi file and during installation it stops and freezes and after half an hour, and gives an error as the setup wizard ended prematurely.
I have a fresh installation of Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) installed just today, and there are no other applications which should be interfering with MongoDB.
I have NodeJS (v8.10.0), npm(5.6.0) installed properly
Windows firewall is turned off and there is no antivirus running.
Is this problem of any missing drivers or any change in BIOS settings?
For me unchecking Install Compass helped ...
I disabled installing the router (mongos) and bundeled software client (MongoDB Compass) and installer ran fine after that. Hope this helps.
I had this problem too and solve it in this way:
Remove the older version of MongoDB if you have installed it before.
Disable your antivirus if you have any of them
Go to C:>users>"UserName">AppData>Local>Temp
Right Click on Temp and go to Properties
Select Security Tab
Select the User and check the permission and controll give the user full control by Checking Full Control on permission
Go Ahead and Install MongoDB.
Note that if you want to install MongoDB compass too, you should have internet connection.
I hope this will work for you.
I recently migrated windows 8.1. But unable to open vs2013/vs2012 new Project template.
IT was working fine in windows 8.
ERROR: Failed to create imageSource from the text '..\Images\Medium.png'
Tried all options but did not succeed.
Please HELP
This is because you migrated from windows 8 to windows 8.1
First Go to Control Panel --> Check Updates for Windows 8.1
Install All Important Updates
Restart Your Pc
All things will properly work..
I tried almost every solution I found.
I would like to share, what I have tried and did not work and what did work and solved the problem.
Here are the "solutions" which did not work for me but claimed that they worked for some people.
1) Removing FastPictureViewer Codec Pack (which was already not installed)
2) Having a modify permission to everyone for
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\config\machine.config
and
c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config
3) Using Procmon to see broken registries
4) Uninstalling/reinstalling VS13 and all shared packages
5) Renaming the machine.config.default to machine.config
6) Running Visual Studio as an administrator
And this what it solved it:
Simply installed all the updates for windows 8.1 (not only the important ones, also optional updates as well) and restart. It sounds crazy after spending hours and hours but that solved my problem.
Good luck!
I tried all the steps mentioned above and it did not work. Even I was not able to uninstall VS.
I reapaired .NET framework through Contrl Panel->Programs and Features-> Microsoft .Net Framework-> right click Chane/Uninstall Repair .Net Framework.
This solved the problem.
I got same error after Oracle Data Provider for VS 2013 installation. I installed all Windows 8.1 Important Updates but it didn't work. I read somewhere that it can be happened because of lastly installed VS Add-On etc. then uninstalled Oracle Data Provider for VS 2013 and problem solved.
I am using Visual Studio 2012. This problem occurred to me after I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, so it is definitely related to the OS upgrade.
As some answers say, installing updates for Windows 8.1 will resolve the issue. But you don't need to install everything. I installed only the .NET related updates. Specifically, I installed "Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 for Windows 8.1" (KB2934520), and a few others "Security and Quality Rollup" updates as well.
After a reboot, the "Loading Components" dialog shows up briefly upon launching Visual Studio, indicating that the cache of some components are invalidated and they are compiled again. After that, the "Add Reference" dialog works again.
This will be vague and I apologize in advance. I've been using the Install Shield Express for the past 7 years now without any issues; except for now and only 1 computer.
The client is running Windows XP (and yes I've talked with him about updating), once the wizard starts to run, it starts and then gives him the message 'The wizard has been interrupted' and quits during the install and the program doesn't get installed.
I've had him stop his AVG anti-virus, setup a unique user but the same thing keeps occurring. As I said, since I've been working with him these past two weeks, I've had 5 other customers buy the software install it and there's no problems.
I'm at a loss at what to look for. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
What does the install log tell you? here is the command to install a package and generate a log:
msiexec /i YourPacakge.msi /lvx* %temp%\install.log
after the install fails open the log file in the temp folder. Search for "return value 3" to see which action failed. Hopefully that will lead you to the root cause.
With Windows 8.1 finally released to MSDN/Technet today I came across the following issue running my ASP.NET application after doing an in place upgrade with Win 8.1 RTM:
Service Unavailable
HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.
The AppPool has died and shows a status of Stopped
The IIS log has nothing
There's a clue is in the Windows Application log which contains this error
The Module DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\rewrite.dll failed to load. The data is the error.
How can I recover my IIS to make it work again?
It looks like a simple uninstall and re-install of the rewrite module will do the trick.
Edit: As others have said - try a repair first - if it works then that should be faster.
It doesn't look like the Microsoft Web Platform Installer is able to uninstall it so just go to Programs and Features to uninstall it.
You'll find it listed as IIS URL Rewrite Module 2 and just click the Uninstall button on top.
Then reinstall it from here:
http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
Make sure your App Pool is started - or just restart IIS and it should all work again.
Edit: 8/30/16 : A similar but unrelated error can occur if you have the 'new' .NET core installed and update to Win 10 Anniversary edition. See here: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/1583 - Running a repair on VS 2015 Tooling Preview should fix it. Wanted to add it here since the errors are very similar to this answer.
I got this Event Log error after updating Win8.1 to Win10. To fix, go to the Control Panel -> Programs and Features, locate IIS URL Rewrite Module 2, right click and select Repair (it's quick). Next, restart your stopped AppPool(s). Should be OK now.
No need to uninstall nor reinstall.

Don't need to uninstall. Just do a Repair instead, and it will works.
For some weird reasons, the only solution for me was to install previous version of the module, from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7435
I just ran in to this issue after an update. All of the app pools where stopped!
Starting them resolved the issue.
I struggled with similar issues last night.
It started out with a complaint about missing redirect.dll. After installing IIS' Redirect feature, that log message disappeared and all I was left with was a bunch of error messages from WAS. It tried starting my application pool five times until giving up.
A listener channel for protocol 'http' in worker process '120' serving
application pool 'my app pool' reported a listener channel failure.
The data field contains the error number.
The error code was "8007007E" (File not found according to google).
I then installed ProcMon from sysinternals.com and every time the w3wp process complained about "NAME NOT FOUND" right before terminating, I googled and installed the corresponding IIS feature. I repeated this until I had installed them all and got everything working again.
Installing everything is not a good solution, but I do not have time to investigate deeper right now.
I came across similar symptoms after changing my domain password. I had to also reset my password in my (hard coded!) App Pool settings on my dev box.
I had a similar issue with "httpplatformhandler.dll failed to load". Again the solution was to download the appropriate httpplatformhandler install msi from http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/httpplatformhandler and then run a repair.
The Repair worked for me after updating to W10 Insider Preview 160826-1902
I encountered the same problem in Windows Server 2012 R2. After I update Windows Updates to newest, it works.
