Now I'm trying to build firefox according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Simple_Firefox_build
So I can get firefox from mozilla-release\obj-i686-pc-mingw32\dist\bin folder.
I want to get setup.exe from this result.
How can I build firefox as installer type.
./mach build installer is both the official way to build a Firefox installer, and the way that worked for me.
Note: it will put the installer in mozilla-release\obj-i686-pc-mingw32\dist\install\sea\firefox-36.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe (where “36.0a1” is replaced whatever version you're compiling.
Note 2: You may need to add the line mk_add_options WIN32_REDIST_DIR="$VCINSTALLDIR\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (or similar) to your .mozconfig to build a version that installs on non-developer’s computers. This part didn’t actually work for me. :(

I use a 64-bit Windows 10 machine. I was trying to install Anaconda by following the steps mentioned on this DataCamp page. I was expecting a .exe file, instead, I got a .pkg file. I don't know how to open the .pkg file. I could see .exe files in Anaconda's archive. Not sure which one to download. Any help?
I had the same issue. You have to choose windows option cos it does not automatically detect you system. The default selected is for mac OS and thus it will download the pkg version. Its after downloading that I found out and had to redownload it.
Its really a poor web design, since the options don't really appear as options (they appear as saying anaconda is available in all these platforms) and are visibly in another section.
By default the anaconda website will set the option to MAC OS(.pkg is MAC extension) change and download by windows it works!
Anaconda often downloads the pkg version for Macs. If using windows you might want the .exe version. Make sure you click Windows on the main page to download that installer. You can also go here: https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/
Find the .exe version for windows - download it and install it.
I want to be able to create my own custom widgets in Qt Designer using the pyqt5 plugin on my Mac!
On my windows system this is easy. I have/install pyqt5-tools, this contains pyqt5.dll and I copy this into the Qt Designers plugin directory (these packages were all installed via winPython).
I set PYQTDESIGNERPATH=.
In my current directory I have ledplugin.py and ledwidget.py
I start Qt Designer and I have my custom widget to drag and drop
( this tutorial was taken from https://www.ics.com/blog/integrating-python-based-custom-widget-qt-designer )
On my Mac, I can't figure out what the equivalent .dylib of pyqt5.dll is? What is it? Where do I get it? How do I build it?
I try: brew install Qt Creator, that doesn't have the pyqt plugin. I try: brew install pyqt5, that creates: libpyqt5qmlplugin.dylib. I copy that into the Qt Designer plugin dir and the plugin loads, but it doesn't seem to do anything with my .py plugin/widget files.
How do I get this working on a Mac? What is the actual .dylib plugin I'm looking for? I can't find anything googling around.
Thanks for any help
As my comment explained: the Qt designer plugin can be built via the reference link (SIP/PyQt5 via RiverBank and Qt src via Qt).
Make sure your Qt versions match, although Qt docs do say plugins of lower versions should work with Designers on higher versions, but I'm sure there's a limit.
Build inside a python venv, as suggested.
You'll need xtool dev pkg for building.
Everything built really easy for me.
This will place your pyqt5.dylib plugin right in your Qt/clang_64/plugins/designer folder (it will also build it in pyqt5 make folder)
At this point I expected things to work. The plugin shows that it loads fine inside Designer.
Some extra notes:
running from command line can help with debugging: Qt/clang_64/bin/Designer.app > show package > /MacOS/Designer (drag this to a terminal to execute from command line)
set an env variable (>>export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1) will give debug info and show lots of stuff including that pyqt5.dylib loads fine
widget plugins are two files: widget.py and the widgetplugin.py file that exposes the widget to designer. This plugin file MUST end with "plugin.py"
widgetplugin.py files can reside in a number of places:
in /[Designer App]/plugins/designer/python/
in ~/user dir/.designer/plugins/python/
in a directory of you choosing using env var PYQTDESIGNERPATH
However, at this point still nothing showed in Designer and I had no errors to go by. Since I just built pyqt5.dylib, I figured I'd simply put a bunch of print statements in it, re-make it and debug to figure out why the pyqt5 plugin loaded fine, but my custom widgets were nowhere to be found...
first issue was trouble loading a python environment:
for this issue, I simply copied my (I use brew) /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.2/Frameworks/Python.framework to Qt/clang_64/lib (I'm sure there's a proper PATH/PYTHONPATH you can set for this, I'll figure that out later)
after that came, missing PyQt5.sip module
for this, I installed (pip install) pyqt5-sip and then put in in my PYTHONPATH
After that, everything finally worked and I could see my custom plugins inside Qt Designer.
Once I access add or remove programs I was not able to locate my desired program to uninstall. After this, I decided to to try and use IObit uninstaller to try and find it, but that couldn't either. The program can still be found in my Program File directory and it acknowledges that I have it installed when I try to reinstall it. A system restore was no help either. Netbeans is the program.
The below is a custom installer / uninstaller approach for NetBeans - a package in a proprietary format (non-MSI). For normal uninstall of Windows Installer packages see this "reference answer" instead: Uninstalling an MSI file from the command line without using msiexec.
I see NetBeans in the Add / Remove applet just fine - just right-click and select "Uninstall".
I suppose the entry could be missing on your system. If this is the case you can try this:
Go to the NetBeans installation folder and double click Uninstall.exe.
On my system the installation path is: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.2.
You should get an uninstall dialog with a couple of options, set options as appropriate and click Uninstall.
I'll throw in the uninstall dialog so people can see the options - I suppose it could be helpful for someone at some point. I didn't run the actual uninstall, please update this answer with any extra steps necessary once you do run it:
I installed the JDK8u40, but only find the javafx-src.zip.
Where can I find the source code for JDK? The src.zip?
Below is what I get after installation:
And btw, I didn't see the installation wizard! This is quite strange.

Today I tried several Java installation packages. All are downloaded from Oracle official site.
jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe
jdk-7u75-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u20-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u25-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u31-windows-i586.exe
jdk-8u40-windows-i586.exe
Both 6u45 and 7u75 installed well on my box. I can see the install wizard. And the src.zip is installed.
But 8u25 ~ 8u40 all installed silently. And no src.zip file is installed because I have no chance to select it in the wizard.
I am not sure if this is my fault or someone at Oracle made a mistake.
As #SubOptimal commented, the /s option indicates a silent install. I am wondering if there's an option to force the GUI install wizard to open.
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Build 7601 SP1
Make sure the Source code is not disabled when downloading.
Then as you can see on the picture, selecting "Source Code" will tell you exactly where it is located.
Notice that I've downloaded the 32 bits version to make sure to reproduce the same use case as you.
Edit
As per your new edits and comments, it seems what you want to know now is why you don't see the installation wizards. I'm pretty sure this is due to old-set registry key.
Run the following command
reg query hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products /f "java" /s | find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Now, navigate to each of the returned path browsing with regedit and delete their entire parent (the big hexa number).
Re-try the installation and I'm pretty sure you will see the wizard.
As for the sources, Oracle documentation specify how to download them in silent mode.
jdk.exe /s ADDLOCAL="SourceFeature"
This is the way I got the src folder from jdk-8u172-windows-x64.exe file without installing.
Step1: Download jdk-8u172-windows-x64.exe file (Java SE Development Kit 8u172) from oracle site
Step2: Extract it and navigate to the path:
\jdk-8u172-windows-x64.rsrc\1033\JAVA_CAB9
Step3: Right click on file named "110" and extract it.
You will get the src.zip file.
It took me little while to figure this out. I hope it will help others.
Enjoy debugging Good Code!
I don't know why/where the src.zip is, but as an alternative, if all you want is the source and somehow the proposed method doesn't work for you, you could always pull directly from the JDK8u40 source tree.
You will need Mercurial instead of Git. This link talks about the hg clone command
Quoting from the OpenJDK Java.net site
The corresponding master forest jdk8u can be cloned using this command: hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u;cd jdk8u;sh get_source.sh .
In addition, the source code for the last release, 8u40, is available by cloning the 8u40 master forest : http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u40. The final build of that release was tagged as jdk8u40-b25.
There are differences between OpenJDK and Oracle's, though subtle
download JDK 8 from following link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdk-8-readme-2095712.html
src.zip comes in-built with it
if you JDK installer silently skips installing the source. just open the control panel > programs an features and find Java. Right click on it and select change and then select the
source (option) ;)
Download the JDK
Run the Installer, but stop right away
Extract src.zip from C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\LocalLow\Oracle\ss180121.cab
You can extract .zip from .cab with tool like 7Zip

Whenever I try to install the Visual Studio SDK I get the following error:
Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again.
I have checked and Compatibility mode is not turned on. From what I've read, renaming the installer to vssdk_full.exe should help. That hasn't had any impact.
I got the installer from Microsoft's website.
What do I need to do to get this to install?
Are you installing on Windows 10? If so, then I have the same problem and it seems as though the current SDK setup is checking the Windows version and 10 isn't currently supported. See https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/77c61be0-1303-4040-a587-62843d321159/visual-studio-2013-sdk?forum=WinPreview2014General for more info
I have managed to get it to install on windows 10, download the sdk, it will download vssdk_full.exe, run this with /layout path which will extract the actual setup file.
Then set compatibility on the new file to win 8 and it will install just fine.
You might not need to do the/layout thing but that is what I did.

I had the same problem. I downloaded .iso file with install package form the internet. Then I mounted it using PowerISO and tried to start it from virtual CD drive. It ended up in the same message as above.
I looked it up and thought that in Properties of .exe install file, it's enough to uncheck some boxes compability section. But nothing was checked.
Soon afterwards I unzipped the package to a temporary directory with PowerISO and installed Visual from there. Worked without problems.
I had this problem, I renamed the instalation file to "vssdk_full.exe" and it installed without problems.
