Cannot install Windows WDK on Windows 10 - visual-studio

I am trying to install WDK and alternatively Windows Standalone Developmet Kit on two separate windows 10 PC's and it failes on both.
The log says: "Hash mismath for path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache....
It happened multiple times, even after deleting all files in "package Cache" folder.
Is there any solution to this? It seem it's just impossible to download WDK at all... Is there any resolution to this? Is there anyway I can just download the ISO and install from there?

How can I launch Android Emulator without android studio on Mac M1

I'm trying to start the emulator with this command emulator -avd Pixel_4_API_30 but it gives me an error:
[8633370112]:ERROR:android/android-emu/android/qt/qt_setup.cpp:28:Qt library not found at ../emulator/lib64/qt/lib
Could not launch '/Users/primulax/../emulator/qemu/darwin-x86_64/qemu-system-aarch64': No such file or directory
Android Studio specs:
Build #AI-203.7717.56.2031.7935034, built on November 21, 2021

✅ I was able to run with ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -avd Pixel_4_API_30 with this command
Use ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator instead of ~/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator on MacOS, for Ubuntu use ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/emulator.
I just experienced the same issue on a freshly setup machine, emulator installed through SDK manager and all.
The error message says it all actually: If you go to /Users/primulax/../emulator/qemu/ on your machine, you'll notice that of course there is no darwin-x86_64 directory, but darwin_aarch64, since you are on an M1 machine. Whatever the reason is the emulator looks in the wrong directory, if you just duplicate the darwin_aarch64 folder and name your copy darwin-x86_64, it works as intended. Not ideal, but it's a workaround until this path-problem is fixed.
Edit: Please take a look at #Andrew Stromme's comment. Of course symlinking is a much more elegant solution to this problem!
If you have Android Studio installed, you can run the emulator from terminal without having started Android Studio first.
First of all, run
cd ~/Android/Sdk/tools && ./emulator -list-avds
to get a list of all the available Android virtual devices that you have installed.
Then, copy the name of the virtual device you want to use and run
cd ~/Android/Sdk/tools && ./emulator -avd YOUR_DEVICE_NAME
where you replace "YOUR_DEVICE_NAME" with the name of a virtual device that was listed in the installed virtual devices list.
This info and more that you may find useful can be found in the official documentation.
Now for the error you get it's most possibly due to a wrong file path. It seems that others have also faced this issue and a bug has been opened before here. The most common solution proposed is to launch emulator from the
/path/to/android-sdk/tools
directory in command line.
Also, before trying this or any other solution listed in this issue tracker, firstly make sure that you have installed from the SDK Manager the Android Emulator in SDK Tools.

How do I install XAMPP to another directory on Windows 10?

I'm having the hardest time installing XAMPP on C:\Development\xampp on Windows 10. I would like my C drive to be as clean as possible so I'm moving as many dev tools to the Development folder as I can to achieve this. I get an error towards the end of the XAMPP installation about a problem running the post-install step. It then suggests I install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable, which I already have the 2012 version installed. Originally XAMPP was installed on C:\ with no problems.
How do I install XAMPP to the above directory or any directory other than C:\?
Edit:
I have tried installing XAMPP portable and now receive the following error
I'm no longer on Windows so I can't re-test, but as I recall, the easiest way I managed this was to use the portable version of xampp.
Make sure to run the shell setup script so that it recognizes it's location properly.
You can get it from Apache Friends
Or from PortableApps.com

JDeveloper Installation Error

I'm trying to install JDeveloper 12c. When I run the installer it gives this error:
"Unsupported platform (unable to determine the startup directory location).
The Oracle Universal Installer failed. Exiting."
My platform is Windows 7 x64. I tried 32-bit, 64-bit and generic versions of the installer but the result doesn't change. Is there somebody facing the same problem? Or any idea to solve it?
By the way, I forgot to say that I've already tried to run the installer as Administrator but it didn't solve the problem.
Where is your installed located - make sure there is no space in the directory path.
Also if you are on windows use the windows installer and not the generic one.

Install ImageMagick for paperclip gem in windows

I followed this guide to use paperclip http://railscasts.com/episodes/134-paperclip?language=en&view=asciicast
it is all ok but note that to enable resizing you’ll need to have ImageMagick installed on your server.
So how should i install ImageMagick ?? i have WINDOWS 8 and on the site http://www.imagemagick.org/ download does not work!!!!
It certainly works - you need to make sure of 2 things:
You install the correct static version for your OS (32-bit vs 64-bit). The 32-bit (x86) will work regardless, the 64-bit (x64) will only work on a 64-bit system. And you need to download the static version - not the -dll version - as Paperclip needs to call the executable directly. (Of course, I'm sure that you knew that downloading the installer file isn't going to install it for you, right? That is, you need to open the file to start the installation...)
You add the bin directory to your environment path. The installer should do this for you, unless you unchecked that option.
UPDATE
Just noticed that the links are broken :) They still point to the older 6.8.5-6 version that have since been moved to legacy. You can get the latest binaries from here.

ffmpeg extension isn't installing

I'm using wamp server v2.2 x64 and php version 5.3.13. I'm trying to install ffmpeg during two days. I fallowed this steps:
Download dll files for x64 (I'm using windows7 x64)
copied ffmpeg.dll to bin\php\php5.3.13\ext
copied rest of dll files to system32
enable ffmpeg extension from wamp server.
and I checked phpinfo() but it's not working.
by the way is there any way to take a frame from video for poster image ?
In order to get php_ffmpeg working you are going to have to find someone that has recompiled it with the VC9 compiler for 64bit and in a thread safe way.
You may find this difficult, I cannot find anything out there yet having just googled around for it.
You would find it easier if you un-install WAMP 64bit and install the WAMP 32bit. There is a php_ffmpeg.dll available in that environment
PS There is no issue with running 32bit WAMP on a 64bit OS.
