programmers notepad is missing when installing winavr - windows

i installed winavr and tried to open programmers notepad but iam getting :
pn.exe is not found.
and the pn folder is empty.
Is there any way to solve this issue?

When installing WinAVR, the installer pops up a dialog with some check-boxes. Check the "Install Programmers Notepad" box.
Depending on the WinAVR version (and hence depending on PN's version), the executable is named pn.exe or pn2.exe.

Anaconda returns error "The system cannot find the file specified"

I want to install Anaconda for programming AI. However, after the installation, it popped out the error: WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified, and concluded that it could not run the post-install script.
I tried pressing ignore, and after turning on Anaconda Prompt, it responded quite the same as the WindowsError: The system cannot find the path specified.
I have been searching on Stackoverflow and found out a post, but no one has answered it. Please help me out!
I would recommend manually finding the Anaconda Prompt via the file explorer, as in manually go to Program Files or Program Files (x86) and click on the executable. I assume Windows may not have created the shortcut properly, or the application was moved to a different location than Windows was expecting it to be in.
If it still says that the system cannot find the file specified, I would uninstall it via the control panel. Afterwards, make sure to install the right version for your computer (either 32 or 64 bits).
Let me know if this helps!

Trouble uninstalling program through normal means

Once I access add or remove programs I was not able to locate my desired program to uninstall. After this, I decided to to try and use IObit uninstaller to try and find it, but that couldn't either. The program can still be found in my Program File directory and it acknowledges that I have it installed when I try to reinstall it. A system restore was no help either. Netbeans is the program.
The below is a custom installer / uninstaller approach for NetBeans - a package in a proprietary format (non-MSI). For normal uninstall of Windows Installer packages see this "reference answer" instead: Uninstalling an MSI file from the command line without using msiexec.
I see NetBeans in the Add / Remove applet just fine - just right-click and select "Uninstall".
I suppose the entry could be missing on your system. If this is the case you can try this:
Go to the NetBeans installation folder and double click Uninstall.exe.
On my system the installation path is: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.2.
You should get an uninstall dialog with a couple of options, set options as appropriate and click Uninstall.
I'll throw in the uninstall dialog so people can see the options - I suppose it could be helpful for someone at some point. I didn't run the actual uninstall, please update this answer with any extra steps necessary once you do run it:

SIMBL installation error? No folder Library/Applications Support/SIMBL

Terminal returned "installation successful" but when searching for the folder Library/Applications Support/SIMBL it does not exist.
Does it mean it wasn't installed? Will I have to uninstall it or can I try to install it again as it is.
No errors were ever returned.
It's possible you were looking in the user library instead of the global library folder.
~/Library vs /Library
You should uninstall SIMBL and install mySIMBL*.
The original SIMBL has not been functional since Apple implemented System Integrity Protection.

Msysgit for windows - Cheetah plugin not showing?

I recently installed git 1.8 for windows and chose to install the cheetah plugin for windows explorer shell integration. However, I don't see any options pop-up in the right click menu. Is there something I have to do to get it to appear in the right-click menu?
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit.
In:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\git-cheetah
Do:
regsvr32 git_shell_ext64.dll
This at least gets you 3 context menus (don't know if cheetah plugin cause I never saw it :-)
Is this a bug or what? I thought installer should be doing this (things like registering DLLs).
P.S. of course you have to run this command as Administrator.
P.P.S. Start | Run, type cmd.exe, then RIGHT CLICK cmd.exe and select "run as administrator". Apparently you also have to restart Windows Explorer to see the context menu.
Cheetah plugin seems to be broken in Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 on some systems (including mine). Re-registering .dll file as suggested didn't helped. The way I fixed it is:
Install older version - Git-1.8.1.2-preview20130201 with Cheetah
plugin.
While updating to Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 deselect context
menu integration (no worries, it won't uninstall a plugin).
The registry entry is separate for when you right click on a folder icon versus right clicking on space inside a folder.
If memory serves "Cheetah" only works with the former.
Example
I have the same problem on Windows 7 with Git-1.8.3-preview20130601 version.
Supposedly when you select the Cheetah plugin on install it also installs the git-gui and gitk tools as well, but these were not showing up in the right click menu either.
After adding the path to the git cmd folder I at least got git-gui and gitk to be available. ie add to your PATH variable:
"path to git directory install"\cmd

I can't find my MinGW shell after installing with GUI installer

I used Mingw_get_inst and installed the MinGW compiler suite following the instructions on the howto page. I used the GUI installer. I then changed the path to include C:\MingW; . When I go to Start menu -> all programs -> MingW the only file that exists inside of there is a uninstaller. The howto page says a shell should be there... can someone help me get this working?
Howto page on Mingw.org: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
simply you could run it from the following batch file:
e.g. C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat (if you installed your mingw in c drive)
for more info. about mysys, check this
Look at the install logs for your Mingw.
I have 2 bin dirs in my (single) installation of Mingw
C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin
and
C:\MinGW\bin
A lot has changed about Mingw in the last 2-3 years and I think some documentation you might find easily via google is out-of-date.
Try asking for help at mingw mail groups via Nabble (very easy to use)
IHTH
Adding the shell link is easy if you have MSYS installed.
Open your Start menu and right-click on "All Program" and choose either "Open" or "Open All Users" depending on which you want to set the shortcut for. Open the MinGW folder if it already exists, or create it (or an MSYS folder, as you wish) if it does not.
Open another Explorer window and navigate to your MSYS folder, in the default installation this is C:\MinGW\msys\1.0
Right-drag msys.bat from the MSYS explorer window to the start menu explorer window. Choose "Create shortcut" when prompted as to what you wish to do. Optionally, you may want to change the shortcut to use one of the MSYS icons from the MSYS folder.
According to older MSYS documentation, the shortcut should be set to start in the MSYS bin folder, in the default installation this is C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin. I'm not certain of what happens if you don't do this; the shell opens either way.
Et voilĂ ! You now have a shell link for MSYS in your Start menu.
If you didn't have the shortcut, the other postinstall bits may not have run either. The easy way to check this is to look in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\etc (or the appropriate path for your installation). If there is an fstab file, then the postinstall bits ran appropriately. If not, then go to C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\postinstall and run pi.bat. This will make the mingw folder available from the msys shell. Things won't work right without doing this.
Update from March 2018: The MSYS postinstall is now a Lua script, and it won't create a shortcut by default. Best I can tell, you now must do so manually in all cases.
Look for the postinstall directory, run the batch file pi.bat in there and
answer the file path questions with the correct case sensitivity.
Then gcc is found.
CNTRL-SHIFT click and drag the msys shortcut onto the desktop.
This fixes it.
Pity the installation script is broken...
Go to your windows search and go to Apps and Features and then search for it, you can find the file location and then you can probably see docs and other files :)
