In trying to install the Epson JavaPOS ADK the program never finishes. Looking at the log file seems that the program is looking for files that do not exist, and therefore cannot manipulate them. After installation "completes" the file C:\opt\EpsonJavaPOS\Uninstall_Epson JavaPOS ADK_1.14.0.0\.com.zerog.registry is created. Not sure what I've done to mess this up.

JavaPOS ADK v1.14W
There are bug fixes that may be involved in JavaPOS ADK 1.14.3W.
[Bug fix]
- The bug is fixed that the installation of JavaPOS ADK fails in the latest Java VM on Windows10.
The latest version is 1.14.6 W, so please try it.
EPSON JavaPOS ADK (for Windows OS) Ver. 1.14.6W
for me, i found out that the installer does not play nicely with Java 8 and Windows 10. After I used Java 7 as the parameter for LAX_VM, it installed correctly. You may need to switch to another user if the installer keeps skipping installation steps though.

I have a Windows 10 laptop where no TeX distribution was ever installed before (double-checked for config directories, files, and environment variables).
Wanting to install TeX Live 2021, I followed the full installation guide and also read the Windows-specific warnings. I've now tried several times, following different installation procedures - cleaning up everything (deleting base & user directories, environment variables, etc) before each time - but still don't manage to get a working installation. Before I report a bug at tex-live#tug, I wanted to ask for advice here, in case I'm doing something wrong. Here is what I did, step by step, and the problems I encountered in the process.
1. First I tried running the recommended online installer install-tl-windows.exe. It never got past the screen that tries to contact or load from a repository, even after a 30-min wait. Tried a dozen times, choosing different mirrors nearby and far away. No luck.
2. Then I downloaded and unpacked the install-tl.zip and run install-tl-windows.bat therein. This time the main installation window appeared. I left all default paths and environment variables (note that I do have write access to C:); in the selection scheme I unselected all languages except US & UK English, unselected XeTeX, LuaTeX, ConTeXt; also unselected TeXworks (I use Emacs), and clicked Install. After one to three hours (depending on the mirror I chose), the installation was complete.
I tried compiling a minimal latex document (see below), and got an error similar to the one in this old question:
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'
Following the advice in the answers to that question and similar questions elsewhere online such as this, I tried running texhash and fmtutil-sys --all. The latter gave the error
no appropriate script or programme found fmtutil.
for which there are also many posts online.
2a. Not understanding what the problem could be, I re-tried with all possible combinations of the following three options: (a) choosing different mirrors; (b) leaving the full selection of packages (ie without unselecting some languages, LuaTeX etc); (c) redoing the procedure by choosing "Run as Administrator". No luck.
3. At this point I tried downloading the ISO file with the full installation. Mounted the image and run install-tl-windows.bat (as normal user, as recommended; I repeat that I do have write access to C:). Everything proceeded as in step 2. above. At the end of the installation I tried running pdflatex on the minimal latex document. New error this time:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.22 (TeX Live 2021/W32TeX) (preloaded format=pdflatex)

Very strange. A file search revealed that article.cls is in the TeXLive file system; but kpathsea did not see it indeed.
4. At this point I opened the TeX Live Shell from the Start Menu; selected a CTAN mirror; updated the TL Manager which was not up to date; updated all packages; run Regenerate filename database; and run Regenerate formats. With the latter I got this error:
tex live shell:

I tried to continue anyway with Regenerate fontmaps, and then tried again pdflatex on the minimal document. New error:

(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
5. I tried again steps 3. and 4., but with "Run as Administrator". Same errors.
OK at this point I give up and really don't know what to do. Am I doing something wrong? For the moment I have to concur with this post: installation of TeX Live 2021 is an utter failure.
Here is the minimal latex file I used for testing (copy & paste):

Found, that the download is not working because the system path to "cmd.exe" is not found. Therefore: open a cmd window and add the system path prior to starting the .bat file (set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Windows\system32)
I’m having an issue with ftp.SyncLocalDir when I have an open file on the local directory.
I’m using the example from http://www.example-code.com/vbnet/ftp_syncLocalTree.asp with a few minor changes. It has been working fine for a few days and then has stopped working.
I’ve found that one of the files is open on the local directory. Looking through the http://chilkatforum.com/ forum I see that one of the answers stated that
“Chilkat will detect errors that are likely permission/access errors and will continue with the remainder of the download.”
This is not happening for me. Looking at the last error text it states that the file is used by another process. Not other files get synchronized.
Is the something else I need to add to the code to force it to continue after the error?
Below is the last error text.
Thanks,
Steve

Please try this new build for the .NET 4.0 Framework:
32-bit Download: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/download/preRelease/ChilkatDotNet4-9.5.0-win32.zip
64-bit Download: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/download/preRelease/ChilkatDotNet4-9.5.0-x64.zip
The feature for continuing past permission/access issues had to do with issues on the remote server as opposed to the local filesystem. This new build should now also do the same for local permission errors. It will be noted in the release notes for Chilkat version 9.5.0.47 when released (soon).
If you have trouble, please post the LastErrorText using this new build.
I installed sp and automap libraries to my R 3.0.1 64-bit under Windows 7 (via install.packages command). Installation of them did not display any error and library(sp) works fine however when I try to execute library(automap) I get the following error:
> library(automap)
Error in gzfile(file, "rb") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In read.dcf(file.path(p, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package", "Version")) :
cannot open compressed file 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.0.1/library/sp/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory'
2: In gzfile(file, "rb") :
cannot open compressed file '', probable reason 'Invalid argument'
I looked from the path and indeed there is no DESCRIPTION file (or folder) in that path. However there is just libs folder under which folder x64 and inside it file sp.dll
Any idea what could cause this?
I would definitely try to run R as administrator, both for installing the packages and loading them. This could solve your problem.
This probably has to do with file permissions. When you install the packages as admin in a location where only admin can read/write, running R as a normal user means you do not have the file permissions needed to load the package. Running R as admin will solve this, as admin does have the correct permissions.
Alternatively, you could install your R packages in a location where a normal user has read/write persmissions, e.g. C:/Users/UserName (or something like that, I do not have my windows machine accesible right now).
I am using Marmalade to build a PlayBook app, but I think my question applies to PlayBook apps in general. I have successfully created a debugtoken.bar file and have installed it on my device. When I go to try to install a built application.bar file on the device, I get:
[execute] "blackberry-deploy.bat -device 192.168.1.114 -password ******* -installApp -package deployments\default\playbook\release\Quote Unquote.bar"

result::failure 881 required signatures missing (RDK, AUTHOR)
ERROR: error running blackberry-deploy
***ERROR***
Note that this is the Marmalade deploy tool running the standard PlayBook installer.
What I don't understand is: I thought the point of using a debugtoken.bar file was that you could install unsigned apps. I have in fact successfully deployed these unsigned apps using the Marmalade deploy tool just like this. But I was having problems signing the app for distribution, so I went back and did everything from scratch, requested new code signing keys from RIM, made a new debugtoken.bar file and installed it, etc. And now I'm worse off than I was before because I can't even install to the device now.
So again: My understanding is that the point of debugtoken.bar was to be able to deploy to the device before actually signing the application.bar for distribution. So what does this error message even mean?
To answer my own question:
For deploying a "debug" build to a device, it's critical to have
Application-Development-Mode: true
in the MANIFEST.MF within the .bar file.
A stupid mistake, but I'll leave this up in case it helps anyone...
Taking a look to the QNX deployment plugin "C:\Marmalade\6.1\s3e\deploy\plugins\qnx\qnx.py" I found that 'FOR DEVELOPMENT' option is false if the 'playbook_keystore' is given so I just cleared the signing section on the Marmalade System Deployment Tool and it is not longer trying to sign it
I can't get windows 8 (release preview) to accept either the inf2cat or makecat approach described as solutions to the question at
What changed in the driver signature requirements for Windows 8?
unless I disable validation.
I am not signing these with any certificates at this point, just trying to get past the errors preventing the drivers from installing at all.
Windows 8 gives me a very nondescript error:
"A problem was encountered while attempting to add the driver to the store."
Looking in the event logs, there is nothing of use; only an informational entry from "Windows Error Reporting" indicating a PnPdriverimporterror.
When i use my original files with the cab files that don't match the inf, I get the error everyone else is listing:
The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file.
I have one .inf file that i need to generate a .cat for.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Ideas??

These same files, w/ the cat from either approach install just fine in Windows 7.
I think this problem is to do with "windows driver signing enforcement". You can resolve this by disabling this option. Go through with below link:
http://tivadj-tech.blogspot.in/2012/09/certificate-check-error-when-installing.html
I just tested this on Windows 10 and 8 PRO now, to get this right, follow these steps:
1) From your Start menu, locate your DDK's "x64 Checked Build Environment" i.e. the custom DOS build screen. Right-click, run-as administrator...
2) Compile your source with the Build tools etc.
3) Go into your compiled code, and then create your test-certificate (you don't need to purchase one just yet, use your self-signed one created with the line below):
makecert -r -pe -ss PrivateCertStore -n CN=newhex.com(Test) NewhexTest.cer
The above means your certificate is called "newhex.com(Test)" and the generated file is "NewhexTest.cer"
4) Create / Edit your .CDF file which contains items about what your CAT file's contents.
5) Create your CAT file by executing:
makecat -v MyCDF.CDF
This should generate an un-signed CAT file that includes all files specified by your CDF.
6) Sign your CAT file as follows:
Signtool sign /v /s PrivateCertStore /n newhex.com(test) /t http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timestamp.dll MyDriverWhatever.cat
This should result in a CAT file that is signed, but don't just install it, because your Windows can't trust Newhex's cert since it's not in the keystore, to fix this do:
7) Add your certificate to your private Key Store, remember this step MUST be done by an administrators access, otherwise you will get an error about (Keystore not found etc):
certmgr.exe -add NewhexTest.cer -s -r localMachine root
This should add into your keystore, Once done, you can then:
8) Go into your device manager, and add your new driver, you would get a warning but will be accepted and installed without the need to reboot with a forced (Don't check cert type account).
I tried this already and it works on Windows 10 and Windows 8 pro versions.
Kind Regards

You are supposed to use inf2cat, not makecat, because you have an INF file.
You should work on addressing those warnings from inf2cat by fixing your INF file. Here is my INF file that uses usbser.sys and doesn't cause any warnings: https://gist.github.com/3647208
I was able to fix my INF file thanks to the advice from chinzei in the first post of this thread: http://www.microchip.com/forums/m488342-print.aspx
If you continue to have trouble, please edit your question to include the source of your INF file, or at least a link to the source.
I encounter the same problem and was able to install my driver with a TEST certificate using the instructions provided here:
