Open XML SDK 2.5 can't install because it is not already installed? - vb.net

i'm having some trouble installing OpenXML SDK for Microsoft office. I have downloaded the .msi from the MSDN website, run it but before any installation wizard shows, i get this window popping up:
It seems to want to install itself before it will install itself.. I have OpenXML on my other PC and this installed fine with no issues and have used the tool for a project.
I have .NET 4.6.2 installed on my machine.
Has anyone seen this before?

There are 2 separate installers on the OpenXml 2.5 MSDN page - the SDK and the tools. From the error message you are seeing it looks like you are trying to install the Tools but in order to do so you need the SDK installed first.

Why the SSMS-setup-ENU for version 17.8.1 isn't running?

I have successfully downloaded and installed the developer version of SQL server 2017. Then I went to the SSMS website and downloaded the latest version of SSMS, which is 17.8.1. The exe file was properly downloaded and it is not damaged at all. When I double-clicked it, windows ask me if I am allowing this app to change my device. I clicked yes. Then nothing happened. The installation process just won't begin. My system is 64bit win10, and it is updated to the latest version. I have also downloaded some earlier versions of SSMS such as 17.5 and 17.3 and I encountered the exact same problem. I'd like to know if it has anything to do with my visual studio? I have downloaded and installed the latest visual studio 2017, and it doesn't help.
This happens when the latest dot net framework is not installed. The setup does not show what is its missing it just do not run.
You can try installing 4.6.2 net
Go to this link.

After finishing installation.
Run SSMS setup and it will show the installation screen.

How to install Mulesoft Anypoint studio on Ubuntu Linux?

Last time I worked with Anypoint Studio, my work laptop ran Windows 7. Now I'm using Ubuntu, with Win7 in a Virtualbox VM, and I'd love to install Anypoint Studio directly on Ubuntu rather than on the virtual Windows machine.
But I have a hard enough time finding a working download for Windows (most of the links point to a page on Mulesoft's site that no longer exists), nevermind any mention of getting it to work on Linux. But I'm hopeful that it is possible (because questions like this indicate that users are using it this way). (To be explicit, this is not meant to be derogatory, sometimes I'm just not good with words.)
So:
Is it possible to run Anypoint Studio in Linux (Ubuntu)?
If yes, can you direct me to a download source and an installation guide?
(In case it matters, my exact OS version is Ubuntu MATE 15.10.)
You can download the newest (Beta) in http://blogs.mulesoft.com/biz/mule/new-mule-3-8-studio-6-0-beta-releases/
You can download the latest stable version in http://mule-studio.s3.amazonaws.com/5.4.0-NOV30/AnypointStudio-for-linux-64bit-5.4.0-201511302043.tar.gz
To get this link you have to register in https://developer.mulesoft.com/, inside Anypoint platform -> Design & build APIs -> Build APIs -> Download Studio
In addition to previous responses, official download links for latest Anypoint Studio can be found here:

SignTool.exe Missing Visual Basic 2008

When I try to publish a project, the error shows:
Error 2. SignTool.exe Missing.
I searched on my computer for SignTool.exe, the file doesn't exist.
I installed the Windows SDK, that didnt work, the file still doesn't exist. Then I installed the .Net framework, Silverlight, then reinstalled the whole Microsoft Visual Basic.
The file still doesn't exist.
Where can i download SignTool.exe?
signtool.exe is part of the .NET SDK. You'll need to download that, which will install it into the proper location.
You should be able to find the .NET SDK with a search on MSDN. There's no point in posting a link here, because they change over time or as new versions are released. (You can also find it by searching Google for "dot net sdk", which returns many different links to the Microsoft pages.)
I had the same issue but installing the Windows SDK did not work for me (signtool.exe was still missing from my machine).
I stumbled across this solution: http://www.benedykt.net/2015/08/12/missing-signtool-exe-w-visual-studio-2015/
Basically:
Open Programs and Features
Select 'Microsoft Visual Studio [version]' and click Change
And select 'ClickOnce Publishing Tools' for installation

Why don't Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework v4 get installed?

I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed (C# only).
Now I want FxCop. I read first we should install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4, so I wanted to do so, but it gives me error and says installation failed, go find more details in some HTML page in a folder path that it does not even exist:
Installation of the “Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7″ product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.
So two questions:
I do not care about the rest of the stuff. I just want FxCop! Do I really need to install this SDK too?
What do you think is the problem when its installation fails?
I had a very similar problem. You don't need to install the SDK to do it. However, you still need to download it which is unfortunate as it is a pretty large download after all. Why it isn't a separate download is beyond me...
Anyway, I extracted the install files I needed by following the information in XXX.
In brief, you need to do this (edited from the link above):
Download the ISO version instead, extract it with 7Zip and locate
Setup\WinSDKNetFxTools\cab1.cab. Open it with Windows and copy out the
file
"WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe_all_enu_1B2F0812_3E8B_426F_95DE_4655AE4DA6C6".
Rename this to "WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe" and it should now install.
You can also browse the ISO image with suitable tools rather than unextracting the whole thing.
Given the date of this post, you might have already found the solution, but it may help others who come acros this issue.
From the page above there is a comment linking to another explanation that is better detailed: Liberate FxCop 10.0.

Silverlight version mismatch

I just found out that LightSwitch 2011 is out. I tried to install it and found out that Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Service Pack 1 is a pre-requisite. I installed the Service Pack and then it allowed me to install LightSwitch 2011. All well and good.
Now when I start a new LightSwitch project, it gives me an error that "Unable to find a version of silverlight development runtime installed. Please install the silverlight development runtime." and then there's the link. I click on the link, install whatever is required and the installation fails.
After trying a couple of options I got the response from MSDN Forums that I should uninstall everything and re-install. Tried that. Same error again.
Another response on msdn forums says that my silverlight runtime and developer package must match. I check and find out that they are different versions
Developer Package: 4.0.60129.0
Microsoft Silverlight: 4.0.51204.0
That's what's causing the problem. How can I upgrade both to the latest version and make them match?
I know this is an old post but I had exactly the same problems (12 months later!). What fixed it for me was quite simple.
Instead of following the error prompt to download the latest version of Lightswitch go directly to http://www.silverlight.net/downloads and install Silverlight 5 Developer Runtime for Windows (either 64 or 32 bit).
Hope this helps!
I deleted all entries of "silverlight" from the registry manually. It was a long and painful process. It still didn't work.
I had to reinstall Windows.
It finally works now. I was able to install the latest version of silverlight and work on LightSwitch 2011 finally.
