Installing ArangoDB on Windows Server 2008 - crash

I'm having difficulty getting Arango 1.4.9 working on my Windows 2008 Standard (SP2) server. It's a fresh install. When I try to start Arango Server I receive this message:
The procedure entry point TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll
I have tried both the 64bit and 32bit versions. I have run the installer as an administrator and vice versa. Any ideas?

TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive is from a newer Windows API. The Windows 2008r2 build uses newer Windows API features such as SRW (Slim/Reader Writer) API to improve performance. These are not available in Windows Server 2008.
I assume that you must recompile for Windows 2008 or ask for a suitable binary in the support forum (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/arangodb).

PHP 5.5 and MSSQL driver: Installing ODBC Driver 11 in Windows Server 2012 R2

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS 8.5, and another server with MSSQL 2012. I must install PHP in IIS and connect to MSSQL, and I don't have Internet available for Web PI.
I managed to install PHP 5.5 and I'm able to run phpinfo(), and I also assured that php.ini is being loaded from C:\php\php.ini.
I was also able to load sqlsrv driver, it reports in example sqlsrv.ClientBufferMaxKBSize 10240 10240.
But when I execute a php file that connects to DB, I get a message
This extension requires the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server. Access the following URL to download the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server for x86: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=163712
I went to that site and it says
Supported operating systems for version 3.1 of the driver include Windows Server 2012 R2`.
It says
Version 3.1 requires Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 (or higher) for SQL Serverand points tohttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36434`.
In that page, in System Requirements, WinServer 2012 R2 is not listed. When I try to install msodbcsql.msi I get message
Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operation system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation.`
Well I'm now stuck. I need PHP in WinServer 2012 R2 and IIS 8.5 connecting to MSSQL 2012. But its driver requires ODBC 11, which seems to not support latest WinServer.
Is there any hope, or will I need to wait for Microsoft to support its own OS in its own drivers?
Be sure to download the 1033\x64\msodbcsql.msi (4.4 MB) installer. Even though you are using PHP x86, you need the x64 installer since the OS is x64. I had the same issue and my app now works with PHP x86 after installing the x64 installer.

Trouble installing SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services

Whenever I try to install SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Services I am getting this error:
I have tried both version (32-bit/64-bit) and re-downloaded multiple times.
How can I solve it ?
Check if you have .Net framework 4 installed at your machine. If not - download it and install it and then try again with SQL Server.
Also check this bug at Microsoft site about .Net framework 4 (there is workaround explained in the bug).
FWIW, I just downloaded and installed SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe from HERE on a vanilla Win7Pro/64 VirtualBox virtual machine and encountered no errors.
Edit
I also installed SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe from that same location on an older Vista machine. The SQL Server installer told me that it needed some new .NET components, then it proceeded to download and install them. I didn't need to manually install anything ahead of time.
Also perhaps worth noting:
Both of the machines on which my installs were successful had no anti-virus software installed. (They are development boxes behind a firewall and I don't do email or web surfing on them.)

The 'SQLNCLI' provider is not registered on the local machine, sql server 2012

Working on deploying an application from my development box to a client. On the client when I run my exe, I get the error "The 'SQLNCLI10' Provider is not registered on the local machine.
I'm developing in SQL Server 2012. I have tried installing sqlncli.msi on the target machine with no luck.
Can anyone tell me what package I need to install on the client machine to get my app to work? And if possible provide a URL to said package?
Thanks!
Figured out I needed the 2008 version as opposed to the 2012 version.

Are you perhaps working on a 64 bit machine and used the 32-bit install?
Here's the 64-bit link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188401&clcid=0x409

Installing 64-bit Weblogic on Windows 2008

There do not appear to be procedures laid out for how to install Weblogic on Windows 2008 when you want to use the 64-bit JVM. Can anyone point me to procedures for this? The documentation appears to only exist for solaris/linux/*nix OSes.
On this page at the bottom there are two sections for installing Weblogic on Windows 2008 ("Download and Installation Instructions for Windows 2008 on 64-bit Xeon/AMD64" and "Download and Installation Instructions for Windows 2008 on x86").

Error while installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows 7

I was trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on my Windows 7 pc. When I tried to install it, it tells me that I have a newer version installed on my pc. So, I checked that Microsoft Sharepoint 2010 installed some sql server 2008 tools for me.
I decided to uninstall SharePoint 2010(which I wasn't using) and then tried to install MS SQL Server 2005 again. This threw me the following exception:
Error 1603 installing microsoft sql server setup support files
Searching on Google I found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916760 but it's not my case actually.
Any help will be appreciated. I really need this to continue working.
I hope this might be useful

Turn on all the Windows Features for IIS - this fixed the problem for me.
This is done via Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
