I want to uninstall xampp and reinstall with the latest version. I've recently upgraded from Win7 to Win10 which I think is causing many of my problems.
I have saved all my files and folders, so that I can insert into the new version of xampp.
After I click "uninstall" I get this message "The uninstall.dat file cannot be found and is required to uninstall the application, aborting".
There is an uninstall.dat file in xampp and it is an Adobe file. I've tried changing it to Notepad and Editpad but still get the cannot be found message. And I've tried many times without success.
Can somebody tell me how to overcome this problem?
Maybe I need to uninstall by piecemeal but I don't know how to do that.
18/02/16 - Update.
The only solution I can think of is to move the xampp folder to the recycle bin.
In that event, how could I see if any of the programs are still running, and if they are, how to delete them?
I need to answer my own question, in case another person has the same problem. I deleted the xampp folder to the recycle bin, downloaded Version 7.0.4, installed and uninstalled, then installed once more. Everything appears to be working now. This may have been a fault with Version 7.0.2 which is what I had these problems with.
Actually I used XAMPP nearly four years ago during my college project, now not using it anymore, so I though to uninstall it but unfortunately got this same issue, just did a simple thing to resolve the issue, I had that setup from which I installed it, so using that I reinstalled it and then did the un-installation and it worked for me.
Copy paste required file into xampp folder and uninstall xampp as regular procedure via control panel.

I migrated my Mac to another Mac and after doing so I changed the user directory name. This has already caused many issues in other applications but I haven't been able to solve the code issue.
The problem:
Every time I open a new instance of vscode it opens with no installed extensions at all despite having installed many.
I am not very familiar with Mac yet and I have tried removing the App and redownloading as well as deleting some files from the ~/Library folder (cookies, preferences).
I have found the issue on Github with a workaround at the bottom of the issue:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/168579
Basically, every new extension installed correctly but in the extensions.json file the path was wrong. It was looking for the extension in the wrong user directory (the old one before migrating).
I use AnyLogic PLE v8.76 on mac. It worked fine for a week, but today I got problem launching the software. I keep getting this message:
And this is the error shown:
I tried to download Anylogic again, but I still got the same problem...
I did not download any other softwares or change things on my mac.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you!
Best option, as often advised by the AnyLogic support team, is to clear the workspace.
Try the following:
Make hidden files and folders visible on your Mac - cmd+shit+.
Navigate to your user folder (Either from he side bar, or Macintosh HD -> Users->(yourname)
Find the .AnyLogic... folder, on mine it is called .AnyLogicProffesional
Delete the following two folders workspace8.x and configuiration8.x where the 8.x indicates your version number of the currently installed AnyLogic version.
These files keep settings and the currently loaded models on the disk and will remain even if you download a new version of AnyLogic, which is why downloading a new version does not always solve these kinds of problems.
If the issue still persists contact support, they might ask you to send the error report you got from your Mac (so copy and paste it to a document the next time you get it) as well as some error logs that get stored in these hidden files and folders. (Now you at least know where to find them ;-) )
If my solution did not provide the answer, please add an answer if you manage to find it.
I am trying to uninstall Composer in Windows 10 and the GUI hangs with the status bar not moving. I have let it set for several hours which makes me think it is hanging on to some dependency which does not allow it to move forward.
I installed using Composer-Setup.exe, v4.10.0.0.
Has anyone encountered this?
I've performed a whole lot of web searches. I found some posts about removing the composer.phar and AppData, but there are registry entries that would have to be taken into account.
I reran the installer then tried uninstalling with no change in behavior. Wondering if this is a bug with version 4.10.0.0.
Also tried a hail-mary by manually running the C:\Program Files (x86)\ComposerSetup\unins000.exe, to no avail.
Also tried a clean reboot followed by the uninstaller with no change.
I've got an issue where if I upgrade MAMP, it generates a new folder in my Applications folder. So far this has occurred three times now and I'm no closer to finding out why it's happening.
Here's a screenshot of the Finder window showing all MAMP folders. The ones that got created after updating MAMP all have the dates and times they were created.
I've tried deleting the new folders and leaving the original one but that prevents MAMP from opening ("These files are in the trash") but the path for the document root still points to the original folder. Here's a screenshot of that:
Can anyone advise on how best to remove these duplicates and prevent this from happening again? Each duplicated folder adds at least 10GB to my storage and I'm running low! I can't find any reference to this in MAMP's documentation, or even on this site.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
As Peter pointed out that is normal behaviour. The folders containing dates (MAMP_2018-0....) are the backups of the previous installations/versions. The following named folders always contain the latest updated installation files:
MAMP
MAMP Pro
It is advisable NOT to store development sites in the MAMP/htdocs directory. It is advisable to set the Document Root to a separate development directory (not within the MAMP program folder) e.g. DevServer under My Docs.
Before MAMP/MAMP Pro is upgraded record the preference settings. Next upgrade the software and recheck the settings match after the upgrade. Then launch and check your development website(s).
I've experienced this when upgrading in the past. I believe this is normal behaviour.
I have just gotten into the habit of deleting the old ones and haven't had any problems.
I have used Eclipse and Apatana for years on Linux, but have recently switched to Windows 7 in order to be compatible with my business partners. I have installed the 'Aptana Studio 3.4.0 Microsoft Windows, x86' standalone version of Aptana, and after install it runs great until I close it. When I try to re-open it, it hangs ('not responding' message) and I have not found any way to resolve the issue other than deleting the .metadata directory in my aptana workspace, which of course deletes all my project references, deployment settings, and any other tweaks I've made to the app, and setting this back up every time I restart the app is a waste of my time. Can anyone identify the problem? I have a pastebin of my log at:
http://pastebin.com/2J0AWTNR
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
instead of deleting the whole .metadata, you can try to delete the .markers file for any open project:
in this folder:
...\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\[myProject]
Delete (if it exists), then add an empty .metadata folder inside your project directory.
I had the same problem on Windows 7, Aptana hanging for eternity on startup.
Following posts like this one I looked for the .metadata folder inside the project directory but didn't see any there.
I tried creating an empty .metadata folder in the project directory, and Aptana started up.
Have had the same problem and I've reinstalled which makes no difference. So I deleted the .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects folder and it fixed it and with no settings/data etc loss amazingly :-)
I used this fix at first and then ran into more problems after a while. The sidebars and other objects in the program were not working and as a result the program just stopped responding. I have finally found a fix here http://youtu.be/RYobTLq_hms?list=UUtL_0WLPWmHZE_HcX48F96w and I hope that this helps for all! We can finally get back to work!
I wouldn't call the following a fix, but it helped me so here it goes:
My Aptana didn't start. It would just hang and when you click anywhere in the blank screen Windows would say the program isn't responding...
This is what "fixed" it for me:
Navigate to: C:\Users\YOURNAME\Aptana Studio 3 Workspace\
Create a new dir and move the ".metadata" dir into it.
Start Aptana
Aptana will run now, but all your projects will be gone.
Remove the new ".metadata" directory that Aptana just created at startup.
Move the ".metadata" folder out of the one you just created, back to its
original location.
Now run Aptana again.
This fixed my problem.
