Unable to install JDK7u21x64 on Windows 8 x64 - windows-8

I have just upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, mostly because my Windows 7 license has reached maximum activations and I have a free copy of 8, and partially so I can ensure my software is 8-compatible.
I seem to be incapable of installing the JDK. I just downloaded it from the Oracle website (jdk-7u21-windows-x64.exe).
Windows reports itself as: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.
When I try and run it, either normally or as administrator is shows up with the message:
This app can't run on your PC
To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher
Does anyone have any ideas on this, a quick Google indicates it should just install same as usual.

While 8 still insistently refuses to install the JDK even after re-downloading and checking the hash, the Netbeans + JDK bundle does install which includes the JDK so that solves this issue sufficiently for now.
Update: The 64-bit version now works fine.

Try the x86 version: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html , I don't think there is a proper build for Windows 8 Pro.

Which Codewarrior version is needed for HCS08 and HCS12X under Windows 10?

I use Codewarrior
- V4.7 for HCS12X
- V6.3 for HCS08
in Windows XP.
Moving CW to Windows 10 seems impossible.
It won’t install, and dongle licensing does not work.
I have tried to figure this out on the NXP site, but I find it extremely difficult and confusing.
Which Codewarrior is needed for HCS12X and HCS08 in 32 and 64 bit Windows 10?
Yeah it is nearly impossible. I've struggled lots with this problem. There is an unofficial "hack" someone made - won't link it because my browser says the site is unsafe. However, it would seem that hack only works up to Windows 8, not on Windows 10. I have both IDEs (HCS08 and HCS12) running perfectly on a Windows 7 machine, with dongle license.
We managed to get it running so-so on Windows 10 by doing a dirty hard copy of the hacked installation folder to Windows 10. Various mysterious bugs followed though, so not the best idea.
Another option is to run the Windows XP mode emulator from Microsoft, but it is no longer supported for Windows 10.
So ultimately there are two options left if you are stuck with Windows 10:
Move development to the worst IDE ever released, Codewarrior for Eclipse. Please note that the future of this IDE is uncertain after the NXP merger. They might decide to put their money on their other trash IDE, LPCxpresso.
Port your project to another compiler or MCU.
I would recommend to install it in a VMWare or virtualBox container using Windows 7 as OS.
This makes it possible, that your installation will work even in some years.
I'm using such a container (with WinXP) for an old Visual Basic 6 installation and HEW-IDE.
You should use at least Win7, to avoid the network problems with WinXP (SMB1 can't be connected anymore).
There is a Codewarrior Classic 6.3 community project for RS08, S08, ColdFire V1 for Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. Basically, the installer is repacked will all service packs and patches for USBDM and PEMicro tools.
If you have an obsolete programming tool you will need to use CW 6.3 on XP. Also, if you have these specific family of parts S08: RN, RNA, PA, PT, Kinetis (including Tower), ColdFire V2 you must use the bloated eclipse version CodeWarrior 11
For S12 or S12X CodeWarrior Classic 5.2 for Windows 7 - Windows 10
But when they released 5.2 they removed most of the older derivatives from it, but you can add them back using this procedure CodeWarrior 5.2

IBM MobileFirst Platform Installation in Windows 8.1 64Bit

I am using my office laptop (Lenovo vV310 - 8GB RAM - 64 Bit OS - Windows 8.1). I have been trying to fix an installation issue with IBM Mobile First Platform for the past few days. I downloaded the IBM Mobile First Developer Kit from link http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/products/en/MobileFirstPlatform/mobilefirst-deved-devkit-windows-8.0.0.0.exe
The problem is the installation software InstallAnywhere is not installing and gives the below warning.
Windows error 2 occured while loading the Java VM
I have JDK 1.8 installed in my notebook and I couldn't fix the issue. I have the java JDK and JRE bin paths set in the environment variables.
If any of you have fixed the issue, please share the solution.
Open command line as Administrator and type following command.
[path of mobilefirst-devkit.exe] LAX_VM ["path of java.exe"]

QTP 11.0 is not generating systemutil.run command on recording an application

I am using qtp 11.0 32 bit trial version on windows 8.1 pro 64 bit OS. Problem is qtp is not generating the systemutil.run command on recording an application. what the problem would be ? I already tried setting the windows application utility to generate system.util command in tools--> options but still the problem persists
According to QTP11's Product Availability Matrix (which you can only see if you have an HP passport and I suppose you don't have considering that you're using a trial version). Windows 8 and 8.1 are not supported with QTP11. This isn't surprising since QTP 11 was released almost two years before Windows 8.
I know for a fact that QTP11 doesn't support IE11 which is the earliest version of IE supported on windows 8.1.
Since you're using a trial version in any case why not download the latest version (UFT 12)?
QTP was united with Service Test and is now called Unified Functional Testing (UFT) and version 12 does support Windows 8.1.

Can't install CloudBees SDK onto Windows 8

I seem to have some problems initialising the CloudBees SDK locally to be able to run a simple application.
I've downloaded the SDK, added the required paths; everything ok up to the point where I am trying to execute the bees run command from my newly created application folder.
The error I get seems related to the JDK installation on my computer - JAVA_HOME is pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 and not to jdk .
I've checked all the local PATHS and they seem ok.
By the way I am using Windows 8.0 Enterprise 64 bit.
Fully uninstalling Java from my system followed by installing only the 64bit version and recreating System paths seems to have fixed the problem.

Installing Curl IDE/RTE on AMD processors

Trying to move my development environment to Linux. And new to Curl. Can't get it to install the IDE & RTE packages on an AMD HP PC running Ubuntu x64. I tried to install the Debian package via the package installer and get "Error: Wrong architecture - i386". Tried using the --force-architecture switch but it errors out.
I'm assuming Curl IDE will just run under Intel processors? Anyone have any luck with this issue and can advise?
It's been a while since I ran linux, but try looking for the x64 version. There are also x64 to x86 compatibility libraries available that should make 32 bit programs work for most situations.
The ubuntu forums are a much better place for this question, however.
