I downloaded the community edition of IntelliJ as ideaIC-14.0.2.exe.
I ran ideaIC-14.0.2.exe with evelated rights on a Windows 7 64 laptop with the 32 bit version of Java 6 installed.
I notice that two copies of ideaIC-14.0.2.exe appears in task explorer when none were previously present.
Both tasks go away without the setup wizard ever appearing5. I saw nothing related in the Event log.
Do you know how I might be able to overcome this issue and install this app?
Disabling the Firewall was previously suggested and tried.Usually, I run every setup program with elevated rights. I was told that I never need Admin rights to install. This time, I added myself to the Admin user group (which you would think shouldn't be possible!) and then ran setup after once again disabling my firewall. And this time, it worked! I suppose it's possible that I did not disable all of the firewall options last time, but I believe I did. If so, elevated rights must have been insufficient. I forgot to try unchecking the Unblock property on the file-that was a good suggestion, though.

Downloaded the AHK-StudioMaster.zip from Github
AHK-Studio directory-- https://ibb.co/r4QK2x2
Stuck at this download screen -- https://ibb.co/M5nLptC
using Win 7 64bit.
AHK version 1.1.33.09
You need to let the main AutoHotkey executable (or AHK-Studio.exe if it's compiled) through your firewall so that it can update and download its dependencies. It does this on every startup, but you can disable it by creating an empty file called NoUpdate.txt in AHK-Studio's directory (where AHK-Studio.ahk is located)—but you'll probably want to let it update at least once after a fresh install, or else the themes and languages won't be set correctly and you might not be able to see/read it.
Try this link: https://github.com/maestrith/AHK-Studio/archive/master.zip
This link works for me, the other one may be down atm
Since this only happens with Windows 7 fresh installs (or without security updates).
Here's how to fix:
Install 2019 security updates
Some other updates provided by ProtonVPN (while installing it will automatically install required updates)
These 5 updates in order.
After installing these three, AHK-Studio can now access internet connection and complete downloading process.
Mission accomplished!
Question is what steps can I take to debug this?
It does very occasionally auto-save itself, but not on change of active window as previously. I can't yet reproduce a specific cause of this (very occasional) autosave.
I have all auto-save options as per default:
I recently did brew upgrade including fswatch. Would I be right in assuming IntelliJ would use its own though, not brew's fswatch if installed?
Another possibility is it's a Mac OS Privacy thing; a Catalina update seems to have broken one program which expected disk access to be available, now it's not; not sure if Intellij has lost some kind of OS permission to do (auto) saves(?), while this doesn't affect a user issued command to save, which works fine.
I have a custom bootstrapper (C# WPF) and it works well enough. If the installer gets run from the command line after it was installed, it brings up a window allowing the user to select if they want to modify, repair or uninstall. So far so good. Modify mode starts the UI which ends up calling Bootstrapper.Plan(LaunchAction.Modify). The problem is that if I call it from the launcher UI it immediately complains that a prior install requires a reboot.
I have not found any good examples on what this should do. Even the WiX mailing list came up blank.
Any ideas?
It would be helpful with the screenshot for that reboot message - just to get a feel for where it might be coming from and to get a literal string to search for. Did you have a look in the WiX source code yourself btw? (WiX 3.111 branch)
I started writing a lot of stuff about reboots. Not good. Maybe just some questions instead:
Does this happen every time you invoke modify and is it reproducible on more than one computer? Or maybe it is just Windows Update acting up on a problem computer?
I assume you have rebooted the computer where you see the problem and you see the problem again when you re-launch the bundle?
Do you schedule any reboots inside your MSI files during the initial installation?
Either using the ScheduleReboot action or a custom action which schedules a reboot with a call to MsiSetMode (for example)?
There is a long explanation here why such reboot-constructs cause problems, but that may be besides the point. Essentially badly configured reboot-constructs can trigger spontaneous, unexpected reboots without warning when packages are run in silent mode (plus other problems).
Could you try to run the test VBScript found in this answer: WiX behaving badly on XP machine with windows update issues in order to check if the script reports a reboot being necessary?
Other than that I guess you could try to run Burn yourself in debug mode (not sure how much plumbing that would be to get running) or perhaps first try a ProcMon.exe session to see if you can see something obvious. The latter should be quick to do?
There are some registry locations you can hunt down to see if you can figure out what triggered the reboot warning. Get-PendingReboot-Query. And a similar PowerShell script.
So in the end it was user error. :-( O well. I did learn a lot about how to figure out how Windows checks for the need to reboot etc.
The issue was simple in the end. During the modify run it was uninstalling, then reinstalling a number of services. The problem is that when it runs (seeing as you have to set it to repair to get it to work) it copies all the files again and the services were still running at the start of the install. The fix was to uninstall anything that might lock a file before the actual file copy starts and that solved the issue for me.
Thanks for your help guys, all the info helped me look in different directions until I found the issue. Awesome community as always!
Has anyone managed to install CLisp on Windows 8. I am unable to get it to work. I downloaded the exe from SF. But, after I allow the application to run as administrator, I see nothing. I did notice that I was unable to delete the file. So, I suspect that there is a prompt that I'm not seeing. Any ideas?
Eureka!
I think that I found it. I was able to install it. I suspect that the installation windows being sent to another session. My daughter was signed on while I was working on this (over several days). After a slow reboot (Thank you Microsoft Update), it worked as expected. I would classify this as an I-D-10-T error except that I think it was reasonable for me to see the dialog regardless of whether or not another user was signed in. Thanks again to all of the commenters.
I have a VB.NET ClickOnce application that I am trying to install on my computer. Previously, I was able to install and run these apps without issue. Now when I install the application, I can see the flash of a window opening, and then nothing. (There are also no processes left hanging or anything when viewed with the task manager.)
After some digging around I noticed that there are files in my Temporary Internet Files with names like "FusionBindError" and then my application name and different DLL names.
I have done everything I can find on the net to do, reinstall applications, reinstalled the .NET Framework, deleted my Local Settings folder and relogged in.
Does anyone out there have any other ideas for me to try?
I tried the Mage.exe suggestion, but it failed to help. Same with the other installation location suggestion. The application flashes at the bottom of the screen but does not open. I have tried using FUSLOGVW to check the bindings and nothing shows up in there. (Good or bad, there are no binding entries.)
Have you tried using mage.exe? This is a command-line tool that comes with .NET framework. Start up a VS command prompt, and try mage -cc. This will clear your applicaiton cache and will force a new click-once download. This is the first thing I do when my click-once applications fail and it works 99% of the time.
A couple of suggestions:
FusLogVW isn't working for you because you have to enable assembly binding failure logging inside the registry. This MSDN article describes how to do this.
Another thing that comes to mind is, perhaps the ClickOnce app install, or perhaps the whole ClickOnce store is corrupted. Try deleting the ClickOnce app store then reinstalling the application.
It's possible that new prerequisites were added that you don't have on hand. If the URL you are using points directly to "my.application" or whatever your equivalent is, prerequisites won't be processed.
So try pointing to the setup.exe that is created in the same directory as the .application file.
Other than that, it sounds like you're doing all the right stuff...
Also, it could be useful to run the fuslogvw utility on a machine where the application actually works. Or reflector.
And then see if indeed any of its dependencies being loaded surprise you.
Also, for these types of errors, be sure to check if disabling the antivirus resident protection helps. Sometimes it causes problems accessing assemblies' manifests and such.
I uninstalled my Kensington Mouse software, and that resolved my installation errors.
Who knew that mouse software that I never used could cause so much trouble??
Sometimes if your machine is working for days this problem will show up. Try to restart your machine. The same problem happened to me and it disappeared when I restarted my machine.
