Sharepoint solution not showing up in Site > Features - sharepoint-2010

I do not know alot about sharepoint and I am having trouble installing a sharepoint solution.
I am trying to install this package called "Workflow Actions for SharePoint Designer 2010" - It installs fine and I can see it inside "Central Administration -> Web applications -> Manage Features" and it is "ACTIVATED", But when I go to "Manage Features" of my site, I cannot see it there.
What Am I doing wrong here? If i go and select the "Feature.xml" file it says
Scope="WebApplication"
How do I fix this problem?
EDIT: I actually need to make a call to a webservice when a workflow starts, and this package seems to offer that. If there is any other package that I can use to call webservice that will also solve my problem. Thanks!

If you want a feature to be installed at your Site Scope then you can change the scope to Site from the feature properties in the feature you have created.

Well after going through a dozen different things I was able to install it myself. Looks like the documentation on the link i gave out above does not work, or atleast it didnt work for me.
I had to force enable it by running powershell and running the command.
enable-spfeature -Identity {GUID} -url {URL}
To find the GUID - goto 14/Templates/ILSPSPDActions and edit the Feature.XML file. It has a GUID in it.
Although after running the above command, the option still didn't appear inside Site Collections -> Site Features -- But it did the trick. Once executed successfully, restart the Sharepoint Designer 2010 and its workflow actions menu will have additional actions in it.
Hope this helps someone.

Postman "Environment quick look" not displaying Globals variables

I'm new to Postman and am having an issue with the "Environment quick look" not displaying any Globals variables. Other members of my team have looked at this and they can't understand why I'm experiencing this issue and they are not.
I have the latest version of Postman installed (v6.0.9 - the same version as other team members that don't have the problem).
I also have ran the same tests collection that was created by another team member and checked the "Persist Variables" checkbox before the test run but to no avail.
I have also attempted to uninstall and reinstall my instance of the Windows x64 version of Postman but this made no difference. I'm not sure this uninstall worked fully as the fresh install remembered the certificate that I required for the external API that we are characterising.
Other team members are seeing the Globals variables like so:
Has anybody else come across this strange behavior and have a solution?
What entries do you have in your Manage Environment settings? (Click on the cogwheel to access it.)
What I did to get around this issue (which I still don't why it is occurring) is the following:
I opened Manage Environment
I clicked the Import button
I browsed to a JSON file that was saved off by a member of the team that could see the Globals variables (who used the Download as JSON option)
Quick look now displayed and remembered the Globals variables
I found a similar problem using the Postman web interface via Chrome on a Mac. Closing the browser window and signing in anew solved it for me.

Unable to install My program. Mostly has to do with Crystal Reports

Okay, This question has probably been asked before but I can't seem to solve it with anything that I've seen.
I published my program and tried setting it up on another computer. At first it gave me this error:
"Unable to install or run the application. the application requires that assembly microsoft.reportviewer.processingobjectmodel version 9.0.0.0 be installed in the global assembly cache (GAC) first."
After searching I found that including everything in the 'Application Files' before publishing made that go away, only to be replaced with
'Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor.'
After searching and doing a lot of things on the computer that I want this program to be setup on, I checked (Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 (x84, x64)) in the Prerequisite.
On the Computer that I need this program on, it won't download this at all. It gives me a message box to either retry or cancel.
Some pages suggest that the Crystal report package that automatically downloads is not the right one. When I tried following what is said here, I got stuck because the links won't open.
Any help appreciated, It's frustrating because I've been working on this program for months and I get stuck on the last step :/
oh .. and ... I don't know if this has anything to do with this, but I built the program using Windows 7, then updated to Windows 8, then updated to Windows 10.
I finally managed to make it work :)
Here is what I did:
I followed this video and I was able to install my program to the other computer.
When I opened it, I got a problem that the program can't find my MS Access DataBase, so I went to the setup project -> Right click -> add -> File, And I navigated to my original project's folder and added everything in there, and Viola! ... It works :)
I hope this helps somebody else :)

Not able to type anything in Xamarin Source code editor

I have installed Xamarin Studio V 5.7 on Mac OSx 10.10.1.
I created a project and tried to edit a source file in the Xamarin Source code editor, nothing gets typed in any of the files from the project.
I re-installed Xamarin studio, restarted mac, nothing worked.
If anyone has faced the problem and has a solution, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
There is a valid subversion repository towards the root of the file system and XS sees the project as being part of the repository, since the system is based on directory trees. There are a few possible solutions I can think of on the spot:
Remove the .svn directory if it's not intended to be there.
Move the project into another directory that's not in the scope of the .svn directory.
If you aren't going to use Subversion anyway, you can disable the AddIn through the AddIn manager.
There are safety checks in XS in case of invalid subversion repository directories, but this is a case where you can't safely decide whether the solution belongs there or not.
I'll take a look at how I can improve this so that the Editor isn't locked because of this error.
I was able to remedy the issue via disabling the integrated source control for the time being.

DotNetNuke Module does not show on page, steps to trouble shoot?

I have a DotNetNuke Module created in DNN 4.9.2. It runs fine on my dev machine but when I post it to the live server, I just get a blank screen, well my skin with no content.
I have installed and then uninstalled, then reinstalled the module, same issue.
I must be overlooking something. Can anyone outline some ideas on how to trouble shoot this issue. I have done the following:
Check code - exact match
Check DNN Event Log - clean
Look for errors - none
Restart Site - same issue
Check Windows Logs - clean
Bang Head against desk - same issue, although now I have a headache
Any other ideas would be great
Make sure that the "Mode" selection at the top of the control panel isn't on Layout.
Are you running as an administrator? Otherwise, do you know that the user has rights to see the module?
The answer was a bug in my code. The reason I didn't see an error was because that an xslt file path was wrong and it didn't kick in my try catch. I corrected the path and violĂ .

ClickOnce Application Not Opening

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.
