INET installation bug - omnet++

I installed Omnet++4.4.1.I selected INET check box and click install.I got error 'Installing Project' has encountered a problem.
Cannot download archive from: http://omnetpp.org/download/contrib/models/inet-2.4.0-src.tgz

I can download the provided URL.
If you cannot access it, maybe your provider or institution is blocking it?
You could try to use a proxy if you cannot download any of the INET versions form the INET website: https://inet.omnetpp.org/Download.html
Or, of course, download from Github: https://github.com/inet-framework/inet/releases

Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Offline Installation Fails

I have created a Visual Studio 2017 offline installer using the command: mu_visual_studio_enterprise_2017_x86_x64_10049783.exe --layout c:\vs2017offline
Behind firewall, when I execute mu_visual_studio_enterprise_2017_x86_x64_10049783.exe, in the vs2017offline folder, I'm getting the following error:
Details
WebClient download failed: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.
Bits download failed: Error context: BG_ERROR_CONTEXT_REMOTE_FILE, Error code: -2145844841
WinInet download failed: Url 'https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/1/2/012ECA6A-588A-4E9A-9759-62DB964C511A/VSInitializer.exe' returned HTTP status code: 407
Seems the installer still attempts making a connection to the internet.
Help.
For me it was the issue with validating the certificates the packages has been signed with. Since validation was failing, it was trying to connect to the internet to get the packages again. I imported all the certificates in the /layoutRoot/certificates folder and retried the installation and it worked.
I work on a completely air-gapped network and managed to install from the off-line installer without seeing any problems. However today my colleague using the same installer saw the error saying their was no Internet connection. After some investigation and comparison with my machine I managed to get it installed on his machine.
Firstly I had created a Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise offline installer using the following command:
mu_visual_studio_enterprise_2017_x86_x64_10049783.exe --layout c:\vs2017offline --lang en-US
Performing the following steps got it installed for my colleague.
Go into the 'certificates' directory in the installer directory, right click on each of the three files and select 'Install PFX'. I am not sure if this actually helps for the later step.
Start a Command Prompt running as Administrator. This should start you in the Windows system directory, e.g. c:\windows\system32.
Type the command
cd c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
Type the command
notepad hosts
Add the following lines to the end of the file
127.0.0.1 ctldl.windowsupdate.com
127.0.0.1 ocsp.verisign.com
127.0.0.1 crl.verisign.com
127.0.0.1 csc3-2009-2-crl.verisign.com
127.0.0.1 github.com
127.0.0.1 nuget.org
127.0.0.1 download.codeplex.com
127.0.0.1 tools.google.com
127.0.0.1 www.startssl.com
127.0.0.1 ctldl.windowsupdate.com
127.0.0.1 crl.microsoft.com
127.0.0.1 crl.thawte.com
127.0.0.1 referencesource.microsoft.com
127.0.0.1 msdl.microsoft.com
Save the file.
Now run
mu_visual_studio_enterprise_2017_x86_x64_10049783.exe
It should churn away for a little while before eventually display the screen for selecting the VC workloads.
It really works. But....
1. The downloading process for the packages is not always error-free, sometimes it is aborting.
What you have tried, is downloading ALL, I would not recommend that...
2. It's really big.
Take this:
The following command downloads the whole VS 2017 for only English language, and there was exactly 20,6 GB shown in explorer (1901 files).
I don't know how big the whole data for all languages
With downloading only a part of this
And I am not sure, if I got all, with another try I got less...
So at least add the language parameter: "--lang en-US" or two languages...
3. In internet connection is used always for initialization (there should be parameters to avoid that, but there is are not exactly known which should work until now...)
4. No.3 seems is bad, admitted. But there is a good point to say about the installer too: It is enough to download only a part of files offline, and the installer is smart enough to download all these files from internet, which don't exist (offline) on your disk.
So, you can start with:
vs_enterprise__873301792.1489161815.exe --layout %CD%\vs2017offline --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop
This downloads only 1 GB. It should be possible to extend that line with:
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Data
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Node
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Universal
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetCoreTools
If there is an error, download them step-by-step.
Then you have all main .NET parts. (Cordova, Azure, MS Office adapter, game programming, Unity not mentioned here).
For more details, look here: Visual Studio 2017 workload and component IDs.
For C++ standard install add:
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop (for C++)
More possible options/packages:
--add Component.GitHub.VisualStudio
--add Microsoft.Component.Blend.SDK.WPF
--add Microsoft.Component.HelpViewer
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.TestTools.Core
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.TestTools.MicrosoftTestManager
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.TestTools.WebLoadTest
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.TypeScript.2.0
--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.TestTools.CodedUITest
All together, it's less than 3 GB... Maybe you prefer this to the 20++ GB monster. Make an .iso out of that (I have used AnyBurn), and: ready. You can install on a PC with mobile connection without big costs, only be sure to select the correct language (here English) for the VS installer, if your Windows was started in another language. Because of that, the VS installer downloaded again 1 GB, but it was my fault...
After the offline has been successfully downloaded, these simple steps help me keep out of the setup troubles, hope this also help someone else :
1. Ensure you're connected to the internet.
2. Validating the certificates.
3. Make sure you have enough space for the installation.
If you receive messages like "file not found" retry to resume the offline by retyping the same command in the same folder.
4. run the installer
I was getting a prompt for internet connection, however after I did install all 3 certificates, installation was a success!, Maybe you guys need to confirm the download wasn't broken, or maybe install
aio-runtime 2.4.1
mainifestCounterSignCerficates.p12
mainifestSignCertificates.p12
vs_installer_opc.SignCertificates.p12

INET 3.4 cannot open libINET.so

Recently, I downloaded OMNET 5 in Ubuntu 14.04 & automatically downloaded INET 3.4. When I am trying to run any example in INET the follwing error appears:
<!> Warning: opp_run: Cannot check library ../../src/INET: ../../src//libINET.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
<!> Error during startup: Cannot load library '../../src//libINET.so': ../../src//libINET.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
I tried to reconfigure the INET framework and also downloaded INET manually but I still facing the same problem.
Could anyone help me to fix it?
You probably did not build INET. Select Project and Build Project.
the problem was that inet didn't build properly due to some missing system libraries, after checking the build log and installing the missing system libraries the build went ok and i could run examples without any problems

Error when installing WampServer

hi i am installing wampserver3 addon php 7.0.13 in my computer. Every time i am trying to install i got the following error:-
"The installation folder chosen (%1) in not that of the Wampserver.
Select the installation folder of wampserver."
i am also attaching a screenshot of the following error. kindly help me to resolve this issue.
thanks
That's because you are NOT actually installing WampServer, but its PHP add-on.
If you used Google to find it, you probably downloaded and installed the WampServer PHP add on from Source Forge. It would be named something like wampserver3_x64_addon_php7.0.13.exe
This is NOT what you want.
You can get the actual WampServer install file from the WampServer project site... which leads you to correct file on Source Forge. It would have a name like
wampserver3.0.6_x64_apache2.4.23_mysql5.7.14_php5.6.25-7.0.1
You want to get it from here:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/download-wampserver-64bits/
The response you are getting means that you are trying to install an incomplete version of WAMPSERVER. The incomplete version could be an addon or an extension. Visit wampserver website and click on the version you would like to download. Desist from using download latest button.
Click here to download full version x64
Click here to download full version x86
Because that green button is missleading and you have not downloaded thw Wamp Installer
but the Maria DB Addon (!) check again
You must navigate in sourceforge and select the latest wamp exe and clik on that link so the download will start
Thank you
you probably downloaded the 64bit version when you need the 32bit version.

how to download IE for mac and to install

i want to use internet explorer on my mac, is there any way to install.
i need it as there are some websites which can open only in internet explorer, its a loss for me that i cant open websites on this safari
kindly help me if any one knows or using IE.
do you have any idea about virtualbox. is this help to download IE for mac
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Run-Internet-Explorer-on-Mac-OS-X-391323.shtml
above link shows how todownload virtualbox and to install it
thanks
I find that the ievms project that is referred to in the softpedia link you provided is pretty quick and painless to setup on OSX. Once you have installed VirtualBox it will download and install the image for you automatically.
Note that it seems like you only need one IE version (and not all of them) so make sure you specify a version to download in the curl command, for example to install Internet Explorer 8:
curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | env IEVMS_VERSIONS="8" bash
Just run this command in your Terminal and it will do the rest.
Note: I've put version 8 as an example because it would be quicker to download than newer versions and is probably enough for your usage

installing cygwin: setup.ini missing from http://mirrors.kernel.org

I'm trying to install cygwin on a windows 2008 server. I managed to get a hold of the cygwin setup.exe version 2.721.
Since cygwin.com is down at the moment, i tried several mirrors found through the google cache of the cygwin mirrors. I ran into the same problem like this guy: Help needed installing cygwin: may be ini file problem
Like they suggested, I tried http://mirrors.kernel.org as mirror. It downloads some setup.bz files fine. Then I get the error "Unable to get setup.ini from http://mirrors.kernel.org/". Any suggestions how to install cygwin now?
I got this error when I tried to use http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and not http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe or http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe. It seems the mirrors have just recently removed support for setup.exe. The setup.exe is still available to download but none of the mirrors work.
The solution is to use either the setup-x86.exe or the setup-x86_64.exe.
The mirror should be the full path http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin
If you get complaints about the .ini being from a newer version of setup, you'll need to find a newer setup.exe somewhere on the net that you trust. (And cygwin guys? Grrr for not including setup.exe in your mirrors and for not signing your exe!)
the reason is so simple:
the setup.ini changed its's location!
just go to cygwin site, download the latest setup.exe file. it will be OK.
While installing, select Install through http/ftp proxy. Firewall may block the installation. Hence, proxy will help. Also try running as Administrator.
It helps..
Regards,
Frank..!!
For those who are still getting this error even with the correct installer, make sure that you're running the setup file on your local hard drive.
My problem was that I was trying to launch the executable from a mapped network drive. Copying down and running the program locally fixed the issue.
Can you use another mirror? Try lug.mtu.edu or something like that. I've always had nothing but good results from there.
Was giving me the same Unable to get setup from ... error.
I used the new setup-x86_64.exe from the Cygwin.org site & had to select the option Use Internet Explorer Proxy Settings.
It fetched the mirror urls.
It worked that way for me.
But, if it does not fetch all the mirrors by itself, we can
add the url http://mirrors.kernel.org in the Download list.
Initially, when it was not downloading the mirrors list by itself, I had tried adding the above http://mirrors.kernel.org url manually & it had worked that way too.
Was facing the Same issue... Run the installer in administrator mode and set the FTP/HTTP proxy to the proxy setting configured in internet explorer. Later if the download doesn't occur try different proxies. Selecting this mirror http://mirrors.kernel.org worked for me.
