I've downloaded a few different wamp packages on my Windows Server 2016 machine but none of the installers will launch. Nothing happens when you double click the installers after downloading. I've updated Windows, allowed "side loaded apps" in Control Panel, I've tried running as administrator... Running out of ideas. I was able to install Firefox, but so far no other installers will launch.
Server admin responded back as soon as I posted the question...
"A new Windows 'feature' recently added through Windows Update now requires you to unblock all applications downloaded from an external source.
Right click on the .exe you wish to use, select properties, then click unblock at the bottom."

I've just finished talking to the "Microsoft Support Chat" and he told me to post this here (i can't post it on the developercommunity forums because i need to click a button in the installer which isn't there at that stage).
When I'm trying to run the VS Enterprise 2017 installer (or any other edition) the installer cancels with the error message: "Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection and try again."
What I tried so far:
Running as Administrator
Downloading the installer with a different browser
Using the --layout option to download files first (same error message, no files downloaded)
Installing the certificates
Using the --update option before running the installer regularly
Running the Windows 10 Windows Update Troubleshooter (couldn't identify the problem)
Disabling Bitdefender Antivirus
Multiple Reboots/Re-Downloads
One more thing that might be helpful is that quite a while back when i was installing "Cyber Ghost VPN" on the same machine i had trouble connecting using that application because a windows service that should've been active wasn't running.
Also I would've included the Logs from running the vscollect tool but i can't seem to figure out how to attach a file here. Do i have to upload it somewhere else and include the link or is there a way i can just attach the file here?
It could be a certificate issue, maybe your time and region are not set correctly, so the certificate is in a different date than the server. I followed this three spets a couple weeks ago and it worked.
Install the certificates, usually in "certificates" folder,(inside Layout folder).
Right-click each one to install it with administrator rigths.
3.Run the installation file.
I have downloaded IIS 7.5 from following url http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1038 and installed on Windows 7 Home Basic. The installation was successful. Even though I'm unable to see IIS in my start menu. When I typed inetmgr in run and clicked on OK, it's showing an error message.
I typed iisreset in command prompt. It's restarting the IIS. When I tried to install IIS from Windows Platform Installer, it's showing IIS as installed on my PC. But, I'm unable to see the IIS.
Please help me out.
In the Control Panel, click Programs.
Click Turn Windows features on or off.
You may receive the Windows Security warning. Click Allow to continue. The Windows Features dialog box is displayed.
Expand Internet Information Services. Additional categories of IIS features are displayed. Select Internet Information Services to choose the default features for installation.
Expand the additional categories displayed, and select any additional features you want to install, such as Web Management Tools.
If you are installing IIS for evaluation purposes, you may want to select additional features to install. Select the check boxes for all IIS features you want to install, and then click OK to start installation.
The progress indicator appears.
IIS is now installed with a default configuration on Windows Vista or Windows
Next, you can use Internet Information Services Manager to manage and configure IIS. To open IIS Manager, click Start, type inetmgr in the Search Programs and Files box, and then press ENTER.
I have a problem with an application. I am testing it in a virtual machine, windows 7, and I have installed FUSLOGVW.exe via Windows SDK package. Virtual machine does not have any other software installed. When I execute FUSLOGVW.exe and click on settings button, the dialog window that appears, show all the options disabled and I cannot set the log directory when I want to put the logs. Is something missed?

I installed parallels plesk panel 9.5 for windows, on windows server 2003 x64, now I can not uninstall, I get this error:
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed.
Windows is not running in safe mode, and i try to install windows installer, but i cant.
And not that way I can do to uninstall. can help me with this problem?
I just finished uninstalling Plesk Panel 11 using the Windows "Uninstall a program" feature. It seemed to work as it displayed a DOS window and informed me of each module it was uinstalling but it did not remove anything from IIS. Also the entire Parallels directory structure was still fully intact after the uninstall "successfully" completed.
I had to manually remove websites and application pools from IIS and manually delete the entire directory and file structure in windows explorer. However, in order to do this I had to first stop all the MailEnable Services as well as end the Process for METray.exe.
In other words, removing Plesk Panel completely was a mostly manual process.
Parallels plesk 9.5 and 10.1-10.3 does not support uninstall as for unix/linux as for windows OSes.
If i'm not mistaken plesk supports uninstall for windows starting from 10.4 or it's 11 version. Need to reread release notes.
As options for uninstall might be following:
Try to upgrate to plesk 11 and them uninstall plesk (accually I do not so sure in this option and will be good to check it before trying on real server);
redeploy server if it doesn't important for you;
stop panel at the services and do not care about it. Also you can remove panel from filesystem and from iis manually.

I just moved to Win7, and I cannot get the .msi files to install from my Web Setup Projects that are built on that machine. The same projects build and work fine on my other Windows XP, IIS6, VS 2008 SP1 machine. I'm not sure if this is a IIS7 or Win7 issue, but I've done the following:
I have all the IIS/ASP.net compatibility settings checked.
I am an administrator, and I have UAC turned off.
I get the following error when I even try install the .msi file on the Win7 machine and on our existing development server (windows 2003 with IIS6).
I've restarted the windows installer service, and I've added logging for the installer but there is nothing that is showing me what the problem is. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
I'm running Visual Studio 2005 and had the same problem as you described when moving to Windows 7.
After trying my Web Setup Project .msi file on another computer also running Windows 7 I found that it worked.
When I looked in the "Windows Features" dialog on the working computer I noticed that the IIS had IIS 6 compatibility features turned on. I enabled the same feature on my computer and after that I could install my setup project.
Open up "Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off" in Windows 7 and in the "Windows Features" dialog go to "Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools > IIS 6 Management Compatibility" and check the feature "IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility".
Run the installer with full verbose logging:
msiexec /i /lv installLog.txt
Then search the installLog.txt file for "Return Value 3"
This will indicate the exact problem.

I solved this by running 'regsvr32.exe actxprxy.dll'
It resolved the following:
Not able to create valid .msi web project in VS 2008.
Start Page in VS2008 was not displaying rss feed in the main window.
IE was not opening up shorted url links to a new tab (in twitter for example).
I suspect this was because of redirects, but I'm not sure. I'm guessing this was a bug in the install process, so I hope this helps others.
