DirectX VSIX Installer Installation Failed - visual-studio-2013

I am just beginning DirectX programming on Visual Studio Express 2013.
I searched online how to begin with it.
I found a resource here
I downloaded the zip and when I ran the VSIX file I got the following error:
This extension is not installable on any currently installed products.
And following is the Install log:

I also refered to the this thread
and followed the instruction provided in each and every answer. Still I am getting the same error.
Please tell me what else I need to do to fix this.
I am totally new to DirectX.

Fixed it.
Downloaded Visual Studio Community 2013 with Update 4.
And it worked fine.

From the above console session, I knew that fluent is re-installed at the same location.
I don't want to have gems from one Ruby version overwrite gems from the other ruby version. Is there a way to keep one gem for one Ruby version separately?
OS: macOS 10.15.5
rbenv: 1.2.0
By design, you can't. The project considers this a feature:
One thing well. rbenv is concerned solely with switching Ruby versions.
Buuuuut, you can use a plugin to create Gemsets, which you can switch on a per-application basis.
I've not used it, but it appears the rbenv-gemset plugin would give you what you're after: https://github.com/jf/rbenv-gemset.
Once installed, you can create a default gemset in your project's root directory:
$rbenv gemset init

There was an error while trying to write to C:/Users/REMOTE~1/AppData/ on Bundle Install [Rails 5.1.3, Ruby 2.3.3]

Been scratching my heads for hours over this.
All of a sudden I am unable to run the commands bundle update and bundle install on my projects.
I receive the following errors:
There was an error while trying to write to
C:/Users/REMOTE~1/AppData/Local/Temp/bundler-compact-index-20181216-9268-sd4t9f/versions.
It is likely that you need to grant write permissions for that path.
1.) That path and user do not exist
2.) I have looked at env variables and they all point to my user
3.) This has nothing to do with my project as even if I try to create a new rails project, part of the rails new command runs 'bundle install' and so that fails too.
4.) I am an administrator so I don't understand why I wouldn't have full read/write access.

After 3 days of tinkering and trying to find a solution I came up with the following.
1.) As #anothermh mentioned, it is probably best to install Ruby on Windows Subsystem for Linux Installing Ruby on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to avoid these kind of situations.
2.) For people who still want to continue using Ruby on their windows systems.
This error occurs when your bundler rubygems copy is corrupted and gets cached into your system.
I solved this by deleted the folder .bundle in C:/users/my_user/.bundle
Re-install bundler and this error goes away and your gems compile and install as usual.

how to use Ruby libraries with Ironruby

I would like to use traditional Ruby libraries (1.8.6) with Ironruby. I'm having problems. For instance, "require 'thread'" doesn't seem to work in an Ironruby script. Do I need to put the ruby libraries in the Ironruby lib folder?
IronRuby use igem, you can use igem ENV to inspect where are the gems, and install the missing one using igem install.

`marshal data too short` error message while installing watir-webdriver on Windows XP

I have a clean installation of Windows XP (Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3) in VMware Fusion virtual machine (3.1.2 332101). (Host machine is MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.6.7.) XP installation has 512 MB RAM and is fully updated, except I left Internet Explorer at version 6.

I am searching around, but did not find the solution yet.
jarib suggested I should delete .gem folder (C:\Documents and Settings\zeljko\.gem) and it fixed the problem.
If the problem remains
Reinstall all the gems:
sudo gem list | cut -d" " -f1 > gem_list.txt
cat gem_list.txt | xargs sudo gem uninstall -aIx
cat gem_list.txt | xargs sudo gem instal
Delete .gem folder in directory which is hidden..
