Appv V5.1 - some files are not sequencing correctly - vcl

I am trying to sequence an application in V5.1 that currently works fine in v4.6. I have tried to do the conversion and also do a brand new sequence but on both occasions, when the sequenced app is run it errors with "The program can't start because Vcl50.bpl is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem".
This file is installed to 'C:\Windows\System32' when I install the client along with a load of other .bpl files. These files are related to the BDE Administrator that it installs.
If I open the bubble for amendment the application works fine and I can see all the .bpl files in the 'C:\Windows\System32' folder.

Documentum issue: Setup cannot copy the file ExJNIAPI.dll

I was using webtop for some time and it was working fine.
Now its started to give this error and if I cancel it, its asking to download some cab Files, which I allowed.
But again when installed it starts showing the same error.
Any suggestions?
This is a required file for Documentum Webtop client side file transfer. Odds are, an update on the PC that you are viewing / editing files, has caused trouble.
Personally I would
back up any checked out files on local PC. By default (I think), would be in %USERPROFILE%\Documentum\CheckedOut
Reboot PC, to free up any processes holding locks on files and folders
Delete local UCF install, by default: %USERPROFILE%\Documentum
Login to Webtop and do fresh clean install
For futher troubles shooting take a look at

or in the new OpenText webtop forums

Whys is IISExpress giving 404, when server IIS works

I am using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8.7 on windows 10.
This issue is happening for Asp.net MVC 4 websites and Web Api 2. Not for Aspnet.Core sites (so far)
Lately I have been having issues where I will be debugging a website and it will work fine then all of a sudden the next time you start the project up, it gives a 404 error. The only way to fix the error is to use a different computer, create a new project and copy the info over.
Every time I start the debugger and get 404, this event is recorded.
The directory specified for caching compressed content
C:\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files\Clr4IntegratedAppPool
is invalid. Static compression is being disabled.
Things I have tried.
Uninstal VS / IISExpress and reinstall, including delete all folders in program files
Create a new project and copy code over. (works, but then happens again later on)
Use different computer. (works, but eventually that computer hits the issue too)
Tried creating the temporary folder and giving "Everyone" full control of it.
Tried changing port number and re-creating virtual directory
Tried deleting entire solution folder and re-cloning repo.
The issue does not happen on the web servers, only locally.
Any idea on what is going on? I can't find any configuration that is telling IIS to compress the files, so not sure why I keep seeing that error.
Edit
I determined that the application_start even in global.asax is never firing (StreamWriter code in it to log to a file in case debugger issue). So I assume the 404 is because the routes never get registered.
I tried updating Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc to the latest 5.2.6.
Edit 2
So I found a workaround. I installed IIS locally and publish to a folder and debug by attaching to the process. If I point IIS directly at the project or use IIS within VS it doesnt work.
I think the issue is related to some dll goofiness, project seems to work once published.
Edit 3
Found the root of the problem. I use Ubuntu/bash on windows. Cloning the git repo through bash seems to be setting the permissions wrong. If I clone through command line, the issue does not happen. Now I need to figure out why bash is screwing up the file permissions.
Same issue with VS2017 on Windows 10, default IIS Express and git for Windows. Suddenly iisexpress returns 404 on /Default.aspx!!??
Solution:
Close VS2017
Delete the git repository in the file system.
Open VS2017
Clone the git repo
this helped on my machine.

Gamemaker Game EXE file won't load (game made 11years ago)

So I made a few gamemaker games about 11 years ago and tried to run the exe file.
When I run the exe file, nothing really happens just an error box pops up saying you can find out more here. And it points to 3 .tmp files located in the Temp folder on my computer.
Anyone know how to get these exe files working again?
The older versions of game maker games use an old runner that does not work with the newer versions of window (from Vista and up).
Using compatibilty mode does not fix this.
There is however a fix available that replaces the runner in the EXE with an updated one.
The tool was posted by Mark Overmars (the original creator of Game Maker) but the link in his topic is no longer active (the .zip does download but its an HTML page, not the actual tool).
http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=299895&p=2116603
It did work for me and using this program I was able to run a lot of older gm4 + games that I have played before on windows XP.
If its a must - you can always try to run it on an XP machine.
TL;DR:
There is a tool to make them work, I will upload it tonight.
EDIT: Turns out YoYoGames has the tool posted themselves;

You can extract all the files to a directory, then drag your old .exe file onto the converter exe. It will then create a game_old.exe and game.exe and then you should be able to run the game.exe one.

My application will no longer run

My application was running fine. I went to lunch and just came back and now I keep getting this.
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\WindowsApplication4.exe" to "bin\Debug\WindowsApplication4.exe". Access to the path 'obj\Debug\WindowsApplication4.exe' is denied. WindowsApplication4
I rebooted, restarted VS, copied contents to another directory, installed the latest VS service pack. Other applications continue to run, even ones that I had open at the same time this one was. So its specific to this application. Nothing changed between working and me coming back from lunch.
Any ideas? I got way to much here to lose things.

XCode 4 Archive/IPA Error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. No such file or directory"

I've found various proposed solutions to this problem on this internet, but none of them work for me. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/15294/xcode-build-and-archive-error-no-such-file-or-directory
http://blog.joshschumacher.com/2011/04/06/xcode4-the-operation-couldn%E2%80%99t-be-completed-no-such-file-or-directory/
I've tried archiving with every combination of coding signing vs not using code signing, and I've tried using every combination of provisioning profiles, but I still get the same error every time.
I'm very confused as to why I'd even be getting an error like this when trying to save a file. I'm using XCode 4, my application builds for archive fine. In fact, I can even upload my application to itunesconnect (and it was accepted!). I just can't create an IPA for sharing and beta testing before submission.
Any ideas?
The error message
Right before I get the error
After much frustration, I filed a developer support request with Apple. The technician I spoke with was able to save my archive as an .ipa on her computer -- the exact same archive that I was not able to save on mine, which pointed to a possible bug in my system (and from the sounds of it, many other people's).
She recommended that I uninstall and reinstall XCode and the developer tools, and that worked!
Here were her uninstall instructions:
Make sure that your machine is running the latest Mac OS X (10.6.7) and iTunes.
Run the following command in the Terminal application to uninstall your SKD:
sudo <Xcode>/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all (where <Xcode> is the path to the directory that contains your SDK.)
Drag your <Xcode> to the trash and restart your machine
Re-download and install Xcode (4.0.2) from the iOS Dev Center. Make sure that the System Tools, UNIX Development, Essentials packages in the Custom Install pane are selected before installing it.
I have the same issue after my distribution certificate was expired. I add new ones (private key and certificate) and xCode "Share" command starts to produce such error.
The problem resolves as soon as I remove old private key & certificate from Keychain Access.
Hope it helps
Selecting "Don't Re-sign" at Identity solved the same issue for me.
I actually had the same problem, but a different solution (and reason). I had Xcode 3 and Xcode 4 both running at one point. I recently deleted Xcode 3 and moved my Xcode 4 from /Xcode4 to /Developer directory. This caused me to have the same issue you describe.
I moved the directory back to /Xcode4 and now my archives save out correctly.
I also had the same problem but I could resolve the problem in the below way.
My project was on the portable disk (formatted as FAT-32) and the project referred some folders on the same disk as "add folder reference for any added folder". I could build it any configurations however I couldn't just make .ipa file with above alert.
So, I copied the referenced folders on the portable disk to the desktop of the disk installed XCode (MacOS). And adding again the folders into the project. I could make .ipa file.
I installed Xcode 4.0.2 in one directory and then manually moved it to another.
When I moved Xcode back to the first directory everything worked.
