I'm attempting to download wget because a provisioner I am using can't retrieve certain information without it (naturally this issue doesn't come up at work but at work, I have a Mac, at home, I have a 64bit windows 10 machine). I have tried the wget.exe files from https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/ and SourceForge but no luck. Are there any current issues with wget on Windows 10, if not does anyone have any ideas what my issues may be?
eternallybored build will crash when you are downloading a large file.
This can be avoided by disabling LFH (Low Fragmentation Heap) by GlobalFlag registry.
GNU Wget is a free network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols.
It works great for me on win 10
Screenshot
I use it on Windows 10 without issue. Don't know which version it is. The digital signature in the properties says March 19, 2015. I have it in a folder on the c drive called ab and I use:
c:\ab\wget --no-check-certificate https://myURL -O c:\ab\Save_Name.txt
and it saves the file as Save_Name.txt

How do I access an external hard drive through bash-on-Ubuntu-on-windows. It doesn't seem to appear in either /media, /mnt or /dev, which seem the common places that people say to look for them in Ubuntu systems.
Note: the hard drive is HFS+ formatted: I use Paragon's HFS+ for windows and have already done an apt-get install hfsprogs which I think should allow the Linux part to read the HFS+ format. I have also tried with normal USB sticks, no of which seemed to appear anywhere.
The drive does appear in /cygdrive in cygwin, but when I navigate to cygdrive in bash it doesn't appear. Clearly it is not properly mounted there, but is some form of symbolical link that bash cannot see.
I'm not really sure if this is a Linux or a Windows issue, but there doesn't seem to be anything from Microsoft about it, though I realise it is early days for them.
The Ubuntu on Windows on the current build (Build 14393, a.k.a. anniversary update) doesn't support accessing external drive. This feature is on their backlog for future consideration.

Edit: Mounting removable drives are supported since Build 16176. [1][2]

I am planning to compile and run code in a linux environment. Before moving to a linux environment I want to try it out, virtual box and dual boot will take my memory. So, after updating my windows 10 anniversary updates, I was able to install bash (ubuntu) natively to my windows 10 through windows features. After installing bash when I try to run bash it's popping and closing a windows immediately. how can I solve this. I tried this with two pc, no luck. How can I solve this issue. Which registry file should I change ?
Turn your windows to developer mode, go to settings -> search for developer, then change to developer mode. Restart your pc. It should work now

I want to ask, if I format my computer (currently running windows10 genuine) and use some other OS for a while and then again install windows10, will I be able to reactivate my windows with the same key which is working currently on my pc ?
That should work just fine, provided you can install the same version. A key for Home won't work on Pro and vice versa, and there are also OEM versions and Volume License versions, so make sure which exact version you have.
If you have an installation CD or an ISO for the right edition (the one you have the key for) you'll be fine. You can re-install from that CD multiple times.
If Windows came preinstalled, you'd better make an image of the hard drive which you can restore later.

I am looking for a way to remotely install a program to other computer units running Windows on the fly ,without the need of running the installer steps on each computer (next,next,finish...) all over again , .exe installers don't usually have an easy way to do this without using the GUI installer.
a solution that i came up with , running the installer on a single pc
and try to trace each file the installer adds (location,file names,registry files) using FileSystemWatcher then copy these files and send them to the desired hosts that need the program installed with the location of each file will this work ? is there any easier implementation
the problem with FileSystemWatcher that although it detectes which files have been added,edited or deleted its not capable to tell which process did the change ,Why would i need to know ?,other programs depends alot on files and will keep editing them so i need to isolate the installer process to easily study how its functioning and what files are added..
the only way that i know to overcome this problem is developing a file system filter driver...
please give me your opinion or some recommendations on which is the best way to do this ,sorry for my bad english .
Almost every modern installer has some way to perform a silent install. You may need to do some digging to find the answers, or ask the publisher. Try running the installer with /? as a command line switch and see what it tells you.

I have a svn installation and its repository on ubuntu system/server but our client PCS have windows 7. Can anyone provide me the good way to access svn on ubuntu from windows 7 PCS.
Thanks....
The OS or architecture of the client and server are irrelevant. There are a few options for you, the best and most common would be serve the repositories through apache on your ubuntu box.
The ubuntu docs on the subject are good
You can set up SVN with Apache2:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion#Access_via_WebDAV_protocol_.28http%3a.2BAC8ALw.29
But, when using different operating systems, take care about the codification of text files when commit. Ubuntu uses UTF-8.
