system gives the following error and Installation not successful:
InstallShield Engine has stopped
working A problem caused the program
to stop working correctly. Windows
will close the program and notify you

Sql server 2000 is not supported on Windows 7. You might be able to get it installed but you would have problems.
According to this blog posting you even need SP3 of Sql Server 2005 for it to work on Win7.

VFP App gets This app can't run on your PC running Terminal Services on Windows 2012

I've got a VFP 9 SP2 app that is running on a Windows 2012 server via Terminal Services.
Sporadically the users will get the message "This app can't run on your PC".
Any idea what causes this? This is a 32-bit app running on a 64-bit server. We've tried setting the shortcut to run in compatibility mode for WinXP SP3 and it still has this problem.
Usually rebooting the server will fix this, but surely there has to be a configuration solution?

Unable to install sharepoint 2010 in Windows 7

I am facing problem while installing Sharepoint 2010 Server on Windows-7 Professional I have followed the steps given in this MSDN page. Still I am getting the following error while trying to run Setup.exe.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks
It seems that SharePoint Server 2010 is only compatible with
Windows Server 2008 x64. But it's not. check this.
Source: Installing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 on Windows 7 x64
It is much simple to do this. Just a little work and your SharePoint Installation ready to work on Windows 7 64 bit Client OS.
You can simply install SharePoint Server 2010 on your client OS just by modifying a config file.
Copy CD contents to a folder on your hard drive and Follow following steps:
Go to the Files folder
Go to the Setup folder
Open config.xml
Add the following line before the closing </configuration> tag
<Setting Id="AllowWindowsClientInstall" Value="True"/>
Save the file and Run the Setup.exe. now it will work fine.
Remember: These lines are Case Sensitive so Write them correct.
On Windows 7, install the following additional prerequisites required before running Setup.exe:
Microsoft FilterPack 2.0. At a command prompt, type the following:
installation directory folder\PrerequisiteInstallerFiles\FilterPack\FilterPack.msi
Microsoft Sync Framework
SQL Server Native Client
Windows Identity Foundation (Windows6.1-KB974405-x64.msu)
Chart Controls (this is not required if you are going to install SharePoint Foundation 2010).
SQL Server Analysis Services - ADOMD.Net (this is not required if you are going to install SharePoint Foundation 2010).
For more detailed installation tutorial go through MSDN - Setting Up the Development Environment for SharePoint 2010 on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008
It seems like your copy of Sharepoint 2010 Server is intended to be installed onto a machine running Win Server 2008 SP2 or later. Not win 7. Either upgrade your machine or see if there's a more compatible copy of share point server.

Sybase - Windows 7

Moving from XP to Windows 7 with client side.
Running into a couple issues with Sybase 15.
1) "Interactive SQL" - many widgets in ie options are defective or missing
2) When running simple query get Swing/AVT widget exception error.
Anyone ran into or worked thru any issues moving to 7?
Other versions of the Windows app, but not 7. As you may be aware 7 is only slightly more reliable than Vista.
Those messages are classically due to (a) Sybase Client (SybaseCentral; InteractiveSQL, the GUI utilities) all using the Java VM and (b) that not being successfuly installed.
Get the Sybase Client CD, and install again. Do not Customise, use the Default installation options. Watch the progress for errors. Ensure the JVM installation succeeds. You may have to retrieve any missing files from the Windows 7 CD.
Otherwise open a Support Case.

Cannot install 32-bit app on Server 2008 R2 64-bit using asnet_regiis.exe

Currently I have a set of web applications that need to be installed (using IIS). They can only run in 32-bit mode so requires IIS to be set to run 32-bit apps. The steps that we've taken to do this work for server 2003 64-bit, and 2008 64-bit, but does not work on server 2008 R2 64-bit. I've spent many hours on this and I'm stumped.
The following are the steps performed to get the web apps installed:
1. Set "enable32BitAppOnWin64" app to true
2. Uninstall old ASP.NET stuff using 32-bit version of aspnet_regiis.exe: "aspnet_regiis -ua"
3. Install ASP.NET stuff using 32-bit version of aspnet_regiis.exe: "aspnet_regiis -i -enable"
As mentioned before, the above works fine on server 2003 64-bit and server 2008 64-bit, just not server 2008 R2 64-bit. Steps 2 and 3 give me the error: "Operation failed with 0x8007000B. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format". After some searching, this is something to do with me running 32-bit application (aspnet_regiis) with IIS which is a 64-bit app. Step one has worked, as the flag has been set in the IIS GUI.
Would really appreciate it if someone could tell me where I'm going wrong, and why this doesn't work for 2008 R2.
Thanks
I know its a late post, but what I ended up having to do was run aspnet_regiis on the Framework64 folder and selecting the "Enable 32-bit Applications" on the application pool I was using and my sites came up.
In Vista and higher OS's ASP.NET is part of the OS and needs to be installed. You can install ASP.NET from the add windows features under Web Server.
The v4.0 version should work fine from both 32 and 64 bit folders.
Check for your Windows version.
If its a Windows 32 bit try running 'aspnet_regiis -i' from
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.52707 folder
Or If its a 64 bit run it from
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v2.0.52707 folder

"Unsolvable" bug in Visual Studio - how do I connect to SQL Server 2008 Express?

I've been struggling for some time now to be able to use the built-in functions in Visual Studio 2008 to handle *.mdf database files with SQL Server 2008 Express. I'm running on an x64-based system, and I've read that there is a known problem with this setup, but the hotfix has not solved my problems.
Basically, what happens is that when I try to add a new *.mdf file to the App_Data folder of a project, I get an error message saying:
Connections to SQL Server files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2005 to
function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download
from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251
My (unsuccessful) steps to solve this:
Uninstall all possible associated programs to Visual Studio, SQL Server or .NET Framework (which left .NET 2.0 Compact Framework and .NET 3.5 Compact Framework, and nothing else .NET related, installed).
Reboot.
Install .NET 3.5 SP1, SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server Management Studio 2008 Express via the Web Platform Installer 2.0 (Beta).
Reboot.
Install Visual Studio 2008 Professional from disc.
Reboot.
Install Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1.
Reboot.
Install hotfix.
Reboot.
Start VS, create new Web site and try to add database. Still get the error message...
When I look in the Help/About dialog, the hotfix shows up among applied updates. I have also checked and double-checked that the SQL Server instance name is correctly set in Visual Studio (I copy-pasted the instance name from the login screen in SSMS).
Why does the hotfix not solve my problems? Am I doing things in the wrong order, or do I have the wrong software versions somewhere?
According to the KB article, the problem is that Visual Studio doesn't correctly detect "some registry keys" - but nothing is said about which keys. Does anyone know how to fix this manually?
Oh, and yes - I've seen this post. I know I could just "downgrade" to the x86 version of SQL Server, but I really want to make this work with the x64 version (if nothing else, just because it's supposed to work...), so that solution doesn't really solve my problems. Please don't close this as a duplicate.
I had this same error, VS 2008 SP 1 on Vista Ultimate 64 bit with SQL 2008 Express 64 bit. Downloaded the hotfix and rebooted, started up SQLEXPRESS and still got the error.
Then I changed my "SQL Server Instance Name" (under VS 2008 -> Tools -> Options -> Data Connections), which was blank, to "SQLEXPRESS" (versus ".\SQLEXPRESS", which is what I use in my login screen under SSMS.) and now it works like a charm!

Try changing the user on which the SQL Server Express is running. This can be changed in Services managment (press Win+R, type in services.msc). Choose SQL Server Express, right click -> Properties. 'Log On' tab and select: 'Local System account', tick the 'Allow service to interact with desktop' - this is what worked for me.
I'm not sure I ever solved this, but I've now moved over to Visual Studio 2010 (RC at the moment, but I'll get the full version when it's availabel) and everything works seemlessly.
