I have a custom action that no longer exists (I deleted it and it is no-where to be seen at all in InstallShield. I compile and rebuild InstallShield. When I click "Run" to install the product, it gets close to the end, then spouts:
error #1721: Cannot execute "Run_exe.exe".
The custom action no longer exists, and it still seems to attempt to run it... I took it out of the list of events as well. Why is it doing this when I have completely removed it?
If your ISM file is stored in the XML format, I would open the ISM file with a text editor and search for the name of the custom action. That should indicate where it is still being referenced.
Perhaps it didn't truly get deleted? Try going through InstallShield's "Direct Editor". Go to the "CustomAction" table. Right-click the custom action you want removed and select "Drop row".
I get errors like that cropping up all the time, because I make a lot of changes to the installer from version to version. The only way I've found to deal with it is to start a new project and copy all the properties from one to the other. Not very efficient, granted, but it's better than nothing.

I'm currently working with OpenCms 10.0.1 and have just created a "sub-sidemap" under "Sidemap" for a "Content page". How do I undo this? Nothing is published yet, so it is not published and only visible to people who can edit the page.
Question formulated differently: How can I delete / reuse my change?
I'm using FireFox.
it is not easy to answer your question, because I am not sure what you really want to do.
If you just want to delete your newly created folders you can easily delete them by right-clicking on the folder icon and choose "Delete". As your folders have never been published, they are deleted instantly. You could also change the folder type by selecting "Advanced" --> "Change type" in the context menu.
In case of an already published file or folder you can choose "Undo changes". This will undo all changes since the last publish.
If you are unsure, what kind of changes where made, you can compare versions by choosing "History" from the context menu.
Last but not least you can as well restore already deleted files by choosing "Advanced" --> "Restore deleted".
HTH
Have a nice day!

I have Visual Studio 2012 with TFS. I created a new file (call it "x.h") and before I checked it in I decided I didn't need it.
MSDN makes it sound so simple:
In either Solution Explorer or Source Control Explorer, browse to the folder or file that you want to delete.
Select the items that you want to delete, open their shortcut menu, and choose Delete.
When you are ready, check in your changes.
So I went to Source Control Explorer, right-clicked the file, and chose Delete. It was removed from source control and my pending changes but is still on disk and in the Solution Explorer. When I right-click the file in Solution Explorer, Delete is not an option and Exclude From Project is disabled.
I might have more luck if I check it in first then delete it but that seems very unnecessary. Hopefully I'm just missing something obvious!
How do I delete this new file ("x.h") from my solution?
Yep. It was something obvious.
You can't delete files from the Solution while it is building.
I just tried again and the Delete option magically reappeared. I realized that it has stopped a build since I last tried.
In short, there are three different angles that a user can try to delete a file while a build is occurring and the behavior is different for each.
Undo the file add from Pending Changes -> Nice error messages are given.
Delete the file from Source Control Explorer -> It lets you remove the file as I described in the question but leaves it on disk and in Solution Explorer (same behavior regardless of whether or not a build happening).
Delete the file from Solution Explorer -> It quietly prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot and doesn't explain why.
The right way to do this is to cancel the build (or let it complete), then delete from Source Control AND from Solution Explorer.
I didnt change any file paths and everything was working fine. I made one quick change saved it ok, did another change and I went to save it and got the following error. How can I solve this. It will save other files ok
Unable to save
D:\xampp\htdocs\websites\dev.liverpool\style\main.scss
Error:
MoveFileEx(D:\xampp\htdocs\websites\dev.liverpool\style\.sublae1.tmp, D:\xampp\htdocs\websites\dev.liverpoolzstylezmain.scss) failed,
Access is denied.
seems it's because Windows or another program is blocking the file. Sublime text uses a temporal file instead of editing the file directly, and when you save the file uses a API command to move this edited file to the original, so this command has restrictions when one file is locked and Sublime shows this alert.
Maybe this setting {"atomic_save": false} will work for you.
Go to the path where you installed sublime text 2 and...
Right click on the sublime_text 2.exe file.
Go to its properties.
Go to compatibility section under this.
Set its privilege level to "Run this program as an administrator".
Now change settings for all users and there also check the field "Run this program as an administrator".
Apply the changes.
I just solved the same issue on Sublime Text 3 beta, Stable Channel Build 3065 by doing the following under Windows 7:
Navigate to the Sublime Text 3 executable file, wherever you have it installed.
Right-click it and select properties.
Click on the tab marked "Security"
About half way down the tab, on the right hand side, under the list of group and user names is this little button:
Click it.
If your machine is setup the way I suspect it is (otherwise you probably would not be having this issue), you should be prompted for your administrator account credentials. Enter them.
Now, select the Users group in the list, then take a look in the box at the bottom labeled 'Permissions for Users'. Put a check mark in the 'Allow' column for the 'Write' item.
Click 'Apply'
Click 'OK'
You should be set. What this does is it essentially gives Sublime the ability to write files while running with regular user privileges, no administrator level access required. Upon taking a better look at your error, what is happening is Sublime Text is creating a temp file for editing, rather than editing to file itself, then attempting to overwrite the original file with the temp on save. The problem is that the program is not being run by a user with sufficient privileges to perform the overwrite, hence the failure with an 'Access denied' message.
A simple and effective solution: Right-click on the file you want to save, in my case it is index.html, go to the properties and uncheck read-only.
The Sublime text will start working fine.
I have come across this error quite many times and by un-checking read-only file attribute of index.html, I am able to get rid of it
I found out more ways to fix this:
Close and reopen the Sublime Text windows or
Open the file with Np++, add a space, save, quit, then you're prompted by ST to reload the file, click yes, and it works again... or
Open the FTP console to see if there's a transaction in progress - then cancel it
In my case the SFTP plugin seems to be causing this problem, as when the FTP connection is timed out, the file which is waiting to be uploaded is being used, and you try to overwrite it.
This happens because you're using ScoutApp or Compass, they block your SCSS files because they are checking for changes as you specified for a directory for those files.
I suggest you reading this:

Good luck!
On mac using a remote volume sometimes I experience this. The solution is to remove the temp file then save again and all fixed.
IE: if you are working on test.html then the temp file would be ._test.html
Remove ._test.html then save again.
For Mac-
Try changing the destination from 'Macintosh HD' to 'Documents' or any other folder.
Worked for me.
The plugin of Superlime solved this problem. It tries to save the file as root in SublimeText.
Reference Link: https://github.com/azubr/Superlime
Try switching your SublimeText process priority to higher level in process manager (it has to have higher priority than your scss compiling app, if you're using one).
It seems to have worked for me.
if it's not working after doing all suggestions, reinstall the program
On Mac I saved the file in Home directory and it gave me this alert, later when I re saved the file again this time in Document directory the file is working now. Using SublimeText 3.
I found this occurred when the folders are read-only. Right-click on the folders where your site is contained and see if read-only is selected in the properties.
Just open it as an administrator.
Because I want to edit anything and write as admin all the time, I set this program to always open as an administrator using "Configure Applications to Always Run as an Administrator".
Just got your file folder properties which you want to save and deselect to read only attribute.
I'm working in TFS with my team for project and the problem occurs when I'm trying to make new modeling project for my classes, it doesn't show up in pending changes.
So here is how I go:
First I enter my folder where I keep my classes. I've tried from there many combinations: I've tried first right-clicking on my folder and putting "check-out for edit" and then continued to * (see later); next I've tried clicking on .csproj of my classes so I activate my project when I'll be adding modeling project and then moved to *; last I tried to activate whole solution of our whole projects which is connecting them and then to moved to *.
None of it worked. (I was always having last version)
here is what I did next for all the possibilities:
I went to Architecture -> New diagram (named diagram and left create new project) -> Create (then windows shows up for creating new project in which folder and I always select my folder where I keep my classes).
After when that was done, I went to check to "pending changes" in Team Explorer, because there should be some available since I created already Modeling project. But there was none. Since I couldn't do it like that, the last solution how I made it was by right-clicking to Source-control Explorer on my project and going to Add items to folder and selected my project which was created locally where I wanted it to be created.
But, this last solution was giving me errors while trying to open my modeling project after. I know I should activate first modeling project, so I clicked to .modelproj and while clicking to it, it was giving me this "notice" or rather "warning":
The solution you have opened is under source control but not currently configured for integrated source control in Visual Studio. Would you like to bind this solution to source control now?
--
What am I doing wrong? Why solutions are not integrated by default while creating my project (my friends are doing it automatically, they don't need to right-click in Source Control Explorer to add item to be able to see pending changes)?
I hope I made myself understandable.
It looks like your solution binding is broken. Either click yes on the question to bind your solution to source control, this is information that must be stored in the solution file and while Visual Studio does see that the folder is mapped to source control, it also sees that your solution isn't (did you check the add solution to source control checkbox when you created it?)
Optionally try opening file -> Source Control -> (optionally) Advanced -> Manage Source Control. You can select project in your solution individually and then click the bind button on the toolbar to bind them to sourcecontrol manually.
I had a similar issue and, in my case, the solution was to right click on my project and choose Source Control->Go online. Apparently I must have somehow been switched to the offline mode.
I have successfully checked in files from source control explorer instead of solution explorer in this case. Then after that it has worked again
VIEW > Other Windows > Source Control Explorer
Other way to do it:
File--> Source Control --> Advance --> Change Source Control.
In the window displayed select all the projects you want to bind to the TFS
I had the same issue and solve it by clicking:
File -> Source Control -> Advanced -> Refresh Status
In VS2013+, you can check if your solution is online. In my case, due to VSO service outage, my solutions went offline. I had to open the solution, File > Source Control > Go Online.
I'm using the Ribbon control located on CodePlex, and following the tutorial located here . Once I add the reference, and the proper code in the designer I get this error when I try to view the form:
Exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Design.ExceptionCollection' was thrown
And I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. Anyone worked with this control and know how to resolve this issue?
Interesting; I just ran into this same issue with one of my own forms; which is how I found your relevant and recent question.
Here's how I solved it:
Open two instances of Visual Studio. Open the same project in both.
In one instance, goto Debug->Exceptions and enable all the 'Thrown' options to stop at first chance exceptions. This will stop the debugger when the exception is generated.
In the same instance, select Debug->Attach to Process, select devenv.exe.
In the other instance, open the form to cause the exception
With any luck the first instance should stop somewhere that yields a more relevant exception.
In my case it turned out to be something that I should have conditioned with:
if (!DesignMode)
{
// Do something that should only happen at runtime
}
Don't forget turn turn off all those 'Thrown' options later.
A workaround for me was:
Right-click on the form and 'View Code'
Keep the code loaded in the editor and then attempt to view the designer again.
This feels very glitchy and I cannot confirm whether it's a problem with my code (as I'm working on an entirely new codebase) or whether it's a VS2012 bug. If I find out, I will report back.
Since the solution outlined by pilotcam didn't work for me, I took a different approach:
Make a SVN commit for the file.
Open the “*.designer.cs” file of the form that shows the error in source view.
Remove larger blocks of form element declarations.
Fix all compilation errors with ReSharper (i.e. ensure that nothing is red anymore on the side-indicator).
Save the file. No need to compile.
Open the Windows Forms Designer of the form.
If the error still shows up, do a SVN revert to go back to the initial state.
Repeat steps 2 to 7 until the error does not show up anymore.
Now you’ve encircled the erroneous child control that causes the error.
Repeat steps 2 to 7 with a smaller amount of controls you remove, until you have only one control left.
In my case it was a user control inside a group control inside a tab control, so I first identified the tab control, then the group control and then the user control.
You could isolate the user control inside a new form to further investigate. In my case it was rather easy; I put checks for design mode around most of the functions inside my control to ensure the code only gets executed if the control is not in design mode.
This fixed my error.
I had the same issue and none of the above answers solved the problem.
At the end, emptying the "bin" folder and rebuild has worked for me.
Let me add two more cases when such exception can happen, along with when control tries to do something that is not allowed under design mode:
When it's impossible to compile the user control.
When designer code contains multiple similar (or identical) lines with initialization of same controls or properties, this can easily happen on merge.
All that cases produce same extremely meaningful error message, and in this particular two debugging of Visual Studio won't help, so I just ended up with bisecting my designer code.

Above all properties worked for me
