intel vtune show only splash but doesn't run - windows

Install oneapi_vtune_p_2021.7.1.471_offline(windows) without errors. After run I see splash screen about 20 second and then nothing. I tried to reinstall, but nothing. Tried to remove folder "AppData\Roaming\Intel" nothing.
Running with vtune-gui --log-to-console --log-level=debug shows me "[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\vtune\latest\bin64-1']".
Has anyone come across this?

You are likely running VTune using a user account with Unicode characters in its name. This would be addressed in future VTune releases. Sorry for the inconvenience. As a temporary workaround please run VTune with a user account that has ASCII chars only. You could do Run As... to avoid switching between accounts.

webproxy.exe process causing 100% CPU usage

today I found that my laptop's fan is worked in full level. after checking performance tab in task manager I see CPU usage is 100% and not change. I see webproxy.exe process in top of resource monitor list and everytime I end this process, after 1 second it run again.
I searched for it but can't find any help. I just suspend it for help my dear CPU.
OS : windows 7 Professional
Arch. : x64
create a zip code, name it webproxy.exe, replace it with the real webproxy.exe file in C:/windows/syswow64 folder or where ever that is, in the safe mode.
I faced the same problem since I installed the "Web Freer".
It also copied the "webproxy.exe" file in the "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" location and even when I uninstalled the program, it ran it from there, so you may need to delete it by yourself from there too. It may help preventing the same problem again.

I have a delphi 7 program running on windows 2008 and I get "folder does not exist" error

I've asked the very same question here :
Why does my program say "folder does not exist" when run on Windows 2008?
but none of the answers were satisfying and my problem still exists , so I decide to ask it in another way with more detail cause this problem really irritate me and we need to solve this , otherwise we have to write the similar application in another language which means waste of our time.
program written in delphi 7(32 bit)
environment running this program is : windows 2008 r2 64-bit
the task program try to do : creating 3 folders then copy an sound file and compress it using lame commmand line (lame.exe) and save changes into database
error I get : "THE 'folder' does not exist . the file might have been moved or deleted , Do you want to create it?" and it cause the program become halted
things I have done :
1- try to run the program as an administrator
2- check eventlog but no clue
3- triple check the required folder and all of them was correct
4- read this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387
BUT still I am seeing this bloody error.
I have uploaded the picture of the error here as you see it clearly :
http://i28.tinypic.com/9to6qr.jpg
The folder name is C:\Upload_ABC\\2010\07\27\:
please notice I haven't written that unwanted dialog-box inside my program I believe windows 2008 attach it or bring it on my application.
please please please give me some idea or let me know what should I do ?
best regards.
C:\Upload_ABC\\2010\07\27\
You have two backslashes in your path. Use debugger to see why.
Have you checked the access rights for that folder structure with regard to the account the Delphi program is running from? Windows Server systems tend to be more restrictive in what a user is allowed to do than Windows on workstations are.
In addition I suggest to strip down a copy of the program to the relevant functionality to show the error. With this you get at least a chance that anyone around may test it on another system.
Furthermore you can try to compile it with D2010 and see wether the error persists. If it does, you might have a chance to find the problem running the D2010 debugger. If you don't have D2010 at hand, you might install the trial just for this purpose.
What is between the two consecutive backslashes in your path? Is there really nothing between them or have some characters been removed because they are Unicode and D7 doesn't support Unicode?
As there is nothing in between the two consecutive backslashes...
It does sound like Windows is getting its grubby little fingers in between your program and your access of the files. Either the folders have not been created, or you are being denied access once they have. And as the changes you are trying to store in your database involve compressed files, virtualization seems to be the culprit as explained by the link you yourself provided.
A couple of avenues to try:
Remove any compatibility settings on your exe (right click|properties|Compatibility tab) that could trigger Windows to butt in. Also don't forget this can be triggered by things like "setup" or "update" as part of the executable name.
"Save your application's data in a folder under your user profile."
Such as c:\users\\documents or some such (better not hardcode it in actual production code, but ok for debugging). That after all is exactly the advice the linked msdn article is giving for scenario 2 "you cannot find the files or folders you just created"
If you can't debug on the machine where it is running, go back to old school debugging: add trace messages to your code to show where in the code you are (and have been) and show them in a memo on a separate form or some such.
Make sure you don't "eat" any exceptions that could give you extra information about what is going on.

Mac OS X 10.5 App "not supported on this architecture" cured by copying?

I have an app that updates itself over the internet, and the updated copy won't run on PowerPC machines (G5) running Leopard (10.5.8). Double-clicking the app produces a message saying "You can't open the application "appname" because it is not supported on this architecture." But here's the weird part: if I duplicate the app using the Finder or using a cp -R command, then the duplicate runs fine! And yet, if I do ls -laeR on both apps, the results are identical. I restarted the machine, and the difference between the two copies was still there.
Sometimes, renaming the app made it run. After a few tries, I managed to rename it back to the original name and still have it run.
If this was just on one machine, I'd dismiss it as disk corruption, cosmic rays, or a voodoo hex, but it was reported by a customer and then I reproduced it on my own machine.
Any ideas what could cause this behavior?
It turns out that the Launch Services database had somehow flagged the app as unsupported, which I verified by using the semi-secret lsregister command line tool to dump the database. Anything that would change the mod date of the app, such as touch, sufficed to make Launch Services wake up and smell the coffee.
Sounds to me like an extended attribute or some other aspect that isn't being carried over to the duplicate of the program files.
Maybe try looking into running the xattr command on the output of ls -laeR on the app bundle?

Strange, possible “shadow copy” issue where two editors show different contents

I have some code that is reading a config file, but when I open the file in TextPad, I see different values than my application does. I checked it with Notepad. Notepad agrees with my application, TextPad shows something else.
This is on Vista x64 Business.
Any idea what could be causing this? I've looked in the Context Menu->Properties->Previous Versions details, but it says "There are no previous versions available".
Here's the steps to replicate (I can't make it happen reliably):
Installed .NET app in Program files.
That app reads the config file, but is falling over.
I manually edit that config file in Textpad.
The change doesn't take effect.
I open the config file in Notepad, and see something different.
Try making the change in Notepad and saving, and get this error message:
Notepad
Cannot create the C:\Program Files (x86)\Daniel Schaffer\WorkingOn for FogBugz\FogBugz > WorkingOn.exe.config file.
Make sure that the path and file name are correct.
I can't put the content here as it's XML and is being encoded by Superuser.com, but here's a link to a screencast: http://screencast.com/t/zhERl7mocp4.
Sounds like a case of you don't have administrator privs, when you installed your app. Sometimes when you install an app with no admin privs, it behave really strangely because of vista security model. I had a similar problem to this last year. It wasn't the exactly, but it was strange behaviour, until I figured out it was vista's security model. It elevates it into application/user security context, from what I know, as my brain froze when I was reading about it, as it was pure muck and virtually useless from what I can see.
Try opening Textpad (excellent app) with Run as Administrator, and then edit the config. See what happens. If it stays then same then its a prives problem. If that doesn't work, deinstall you app, and then install it as an administrator. That will give the app the write admin privs to work. Then when you edit the config. See if that works.
Take a look at this. You can elevate an app to run as administrator, Using the techniques found here. How to elevate an application.. Try all these before you do a reinstall.
If that doesn't work, post your question to server fault. Also post it to a suitable MSDN forum.
Hope that help.
Bob.
This is interesting. My guess is that a Vista Feature called UAC Virtualization (aka Data Redirection) is at work here. It basically redirects legacy applications to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\VirtualStore\Program Files\... so they can write files in the program's directory.
Maybe Textpad tries to open the file in read-write mode while both your application and Notepad use it read-only?
You can fire up Process Monitor to see the exact magic, and please let me know ;-)
Try just to strip that whitespace character from application name; my guess is something related to canonical path building
try to copy file to another path and reopen it. see if it changes the result.
One thing you can do is observe what exact file each of those methods ends up opening. To do this,
launch Process Monitor from the sysinternal suite.
look only for file operations (deselect registry operations on the right of the toolbar)
select only your own process (filter out all the processes that you don't care about, or just include your own process name in the filter list)
You can also simply use the search function for your file name, this might be the faster route.
Process monitor has helped me find so many issues it's amazing.

windows installation hang

How can I find what's hanging all new installations on a Windows box?
While testing an installation script on Windows (XP Pro, if it matters) I've run into a situation wherein any and all attempts to install anything on the system hang waiting on who knows what. When the system is restarted, all queued up attempts at installation then go through their exit paths with pop-ups that report the installation is being aborted due to system shutdown having been requested. Of course, reboots do not cure the problem. The system otherwise runs fine.
So... How can I determine what part of the OS I've wedged? (Something in the registry, I suppose, but I'm a real greenhorn when it comes to Windows.) Most likely, something from a preceding install attempt went awry and is now blocking even though I saw no errors reported. Once I figure this out, I want to put in a check for this sort of thing, possibly at both ends of my install scripts, if that seems reasonable.
Thanks for your input.
UPDATE:
Unfortunately for me, rebuilding from scratch to get to the point the system's in now is about 9 hours. I'd like to unwedge it from where it is now rather than reload (again). Procmon seems great but I haven't got SP2 installed, only SP1! -frown- So, other ideas are welcome.
I assume you've tried logging the install to see where things go wrong?
Try rolling back to before things went wrong using "System Restore", if that doesn't solve it and the MSI log files show nothing useful then I'd take the plunge and reload before wasting any more time on it.
That said, if you're developing installers then taking an image of this PC in it's crappy state could be a worthwhile exercise. Some point in the future when you have more time to debug you can try and figure out what the problem is.
P.S. I'm assuming you're asking this question from the point of view of someone developing an installer and not as a tech-support question... otherwise this question should probably be closed as not-programming-related ;)
Try using Procmon to figure out where the installer is having problems, if you set a filter it will report all file and registry activity for that process.
