After installing VS2019 in a couple of PCs I found that I don't have local content for help viewer on Win32 API.
Using "Manage Content" I verify to have "Programming reference for Windows API", but that resolves only to have local index to it. As an example, I have the function list for "winbase.h" header, with the short description, but as I click on any function name all I get is
The topic you requested was not found on your computer, but you can view the topic online.
What's wrong with it? What is the content I'm missing?
I read the list of help content to add to help viewer, but looks like I don't have anything else referring to Win32/Windows API...
Windows Desktop App Development in Help Viewer does not contain all Win32 functions, you can try to install the old full version to fix.
This is a useful link for you. In order to prevent the link from failing, I will list some useful information.
Install Windows Desktop App Development 2018
In Microsoft Help Viewer, switch to the Manage Content tab and
uninstall broken books, such as Windows Desktop App Development and
Programming reference for Windows API.
Click the Update button to remove the broken books.
Select the Installation source Disk and enter the following URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mgtek/win32_en-us_vs/master/helpcontentsetup.msha
Select Windows Desktop App Development (2018) and click Add and then
Update to install the book.

I am facing the chrome extension issue. The following is the issue:
“UiPath.Core.BrowserOperationException: Cannot communicate with the browser, please check the UiPath extension”
I have UiPath Robot only so I cannot install extension from Studio. I am running the package from the tray.
Things I did to solve the issue by myself:
Removed extension and installed again (multiple times).
Cleared browsing data before execution.
Update the package few times.
Restarted my machine.
It's not clear whether you have installed the extension from the Chrome web store, but it is preferable to install the extension using the following command:
C:\Program Files\UiPath\Studio\UiPath\SetupExtensions.exe /chrome
This will work without having Studio installed. Also bear in mind that if you are launching Chrome in Incognito, you will need to explicitly allow the extension in Incognito by going to the following URL in Chrome:
chrome://extensions/
Choose "Details" on the UiPath extension, and "Allow in Incognito".
Further information can be found here: Extension for Chrome
Try this.
1 Use the StartProcess to start Internet explorer exe file from program files.
2 Send Url as argument eg “www.abc.com”
3 Use on element appear to check if the home page is loaded.
4 Attach browser and use the browser variable to pass to other workflows.
I'm developing a JavaScript addin for Office applications, e.g. Word, Excel and PowerPoint. At some point it should open a file that resides somewhere in SharePoint.
I want the url to open the correct Office application right away and for this purpose I'm using Office URI Schemes (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/office-uri-schemes?redirectedfrom=MSDN).
Depending on the logic in the app, I'm using two different techniques, which work perfectly when the addin is running in Word, Excel or PowerPoint on Windows.
Technique 1 (normal link)
Open Me!
Technique 2 (programmatic)
// Js pseudo code
button.onclick = () => {
window.location = 'ms-word:ofe|u|https://foo.sharepoint.com/path/to/file.docx'
}
As I mentioned, both these techniques works flawlessly on Windows. But when running the addin on e.g. Word Desktop on Mac, absolutely nothing happens. I've debugged the addin, by using "Inspect Element" to open up the console, but there's no errors or anything. It seems to me that the internal browser on Mac silently refuses to open the link.
However, if you paste the link into e.g. a word document, it will open the document if clicked.
Some thoughts:
is this related to the manifest.xml for the addin? (still works on windows without modifying the manifest)
do I need to enable something on Mac for this to work? (the Office URI Scheme page states these links should work on Office for Mac 2011)
Any input is greatly appreciated.
I found a workaround that works on Mac as well by using window.open(url).
Please refer to the attached error message as while executing this word macro I am getting this:
The program used to create this object is forms. that program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install forms or ensure that any dialog boxes in the forms are closed
Kindly let me know what could be the issue in it.
This error message might be related to a missing Office update. Please make sure that your Office installation is fully patched (or that at least the update mentioned in the below article is installed).
For a detailed explanation check this article on Microsoft's support website:

Just have installed new firefox developer edition and one of the feautures is checking the website in another browsers remotely. So I opened my website and typed in firefox's new command line "ios" to test it on safary, but got error TypeError: response is null .
Did somebody already tried? Any ideas how to make this work? Thanks
There is a list of connection issues here and you can submit a new issue here if it is not listed.
I am using the Valence addon (the thing that makes connecting to ios and chrome possible) everyday without any problem, but I always go via the WebIDE. I never tried using the ios command. I'm not sure how much this command was tested recently, it might just be broken.
You should try using the WebIDE (which you can find in the Tools/Web Developer menu).
Once opened, you can select "Safari on iOS" from the runtime menu.
More information about this can be found on MDN.
I've filed the following issue on the Github repo. Feel free to comment on the issue to add more info if needed.
I've just released 0.2.3 of the Valence (Developer Tools Adapter) add-on. Once you get this update, the ios command should work as expected. You can check your current version on the about:addons page.
If you continue to have trouble, please file a new issue.
When I open WebMatrix it works without problem and shows the start page.
When I click 'My sites' and choose my site or choose My site by click 'Open'=> My site or create new site (and choose the site type: Empty, App Gallery or Template Gallery) WebMatrix crashes. Note: It crashes when it needs to show the site pages.
I tried to re-install WebMatrix but that didn't help. I also tried to change the Workspace(by clicking 'Options' on the start page).
When it crashes, I get the message 'Windows is looking for a solution to the problem.' (My computer isn't in English so that might not exactly be the words) and then I am asked if I want to close/debug the program. I click 'Debug' and choose Visual Studio. I don't know how to debug a program, but I tried and it says to me that:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Microsoft.WebMatrix.Core.dll
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object [-translated].
I have searched on the internet and here and I didn't find any solution to my problem.
Actual Answer
This bug is in the market for a time now. I have seen similar issue on another forum too, where the user was facing the same issue and same thing he tried but all in vain.
I think you need to wait for the next Update for your System, or try removing each and every component that WebMatrix installed, that means all the .NET Frameworks (4th version), Sql Dependencies Sql Server Ce, and all other files that were shipped along with WebMatrix to your computer. Remove them, and start the installing process once again freshly.
If nothing does the job, please uninstall WebMatrix 3 and install WebMatrix 2: Click here for link. I know it is awkward to go back a version, but you'll have to. Secondly you can mention this bug on their support/suggestion page. They would fix it.

I hope that would help you. And you'd be back in developing the apps :-)
Just for information
Secondly, do you understand what is meant by debug? Debugging is a method or process to remove the bugs from a software or an application etc. When you chose Visual Studio, it provided you or not provided you with the WebMatrix source code, I am not sure I never tried it. And you tried out debugging it. The exception is gave you, was a message saying that the parameter you're passing onto the next stage is a null. Which means it doesn't even exist and thus the value or the method cannot be executed and it breaks.
