How-to download Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) - windows

I'm getting an error when I try to start an Application Pool in IIS7.
The error is called Service WAS was not found on computer'.'.'
I then googled "download Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) and I can't seem to find away to download it.
I'm running this on AWS on a remote desktop from my Windows 7 OS.

It is included in Windows and no additional download is needed.
You need to open Turn Windows features on or off in Control Panel and install it from there.

Unable to install VNC Server to Windows CE 6.0

Two computers being connected to a network. I need to run VNC Server on Windows CE 6.0, and Connect from VNC Viewer on Windows 7.
I used TightVNC for Windows 7 but I am unable to install TightVNC to Windows CE 6.0.
Please guide me from here. I tried different TightVNC installers from http://www.tightvnc.com/download-old.php but failed. As soon as I try to run installer, it says
"There is no application associated with tightvnc-2.8.5-gpl-setup-32bit. Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
It was a .msi file, but I found a .exe installer also but when I ran it on WinCE, it says
"Application tightvnc-1.3.10-setup.exe encountered a serious error and must shut down"
Please help me here. Should I try any other VNC Server-client for WinCE and Win7?
Thank you!
You could try using EfonVNC. I see from the website that the version says v4.3 but when you download the EXE you will find it is v4.1.1.1. Deploy to your device and then start it automatically on device power-up or by code. Here is some example C# code to do just that:
ProcessStartInfo pinfoVNC = new ProcessStartInfo();
pinfoVNC.FileName = PATH-TO-VNC-ON-YOUR-DEVICE;
Process.Start(pinfoVNC);

vb6 Windows Service Issue

I have a vb6 Windows Service which i am trying to migrate it to 2008 from 2003 server and getting the below error,
"Windows could not start the Service-03 service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
Is that i have to install anything to run vb6 windows service applications on windows server 2008 ?
If you start the executable directly by doubleclicking the EXE (bypassing the Windows service handling) you will get popups if there's some ressources missing.
There can be many reasons for this, your service should hace a log where you can investigate further.
Take a look at windows events, there could be more information about the problem.

windows service msi installer created in vs2003 hangs in win7 while installing

We have few windows services developed using .Net framework 1.1(VS2003).For each windows service an msi installer(set up project) is created to make installation easier.These installers are able to install windows services successfully in windows XP.But these installers unable to install windows service in WIN7 though I have admin privileges on the machine in which I am trying install them.While I am trying to install the windows service in win7, Through msi installer,installation is progressing till 90%.After that it is neither completing nor throwing an error.I am unable to understand what the problem is.
I tried following ways.
1.Opened cmd window in admin mode and tried to execute the msi with the command msiexec -i --Din't work
2.Right clicked on the actual exe(windows service exe) file and tried to run it in admin mode.--Din't work
3.Changed the UAC to never notify, restarted the machine and then tried to install--Din't work
4.Right clicked on both exe and msi and open their properties and changed the compatibility to lower version of windows and tried to install--Din't work
One thing I have noticed is that for all the custom actions of our windows service installer, primary output of our main project(exe) was given as input.I build the msi installer by removing all the custom actions.Then i tried to install it in win7.Then it was installed.But during the installation system not prompted for account details (which is the actual case while installing windows service) and also the service was not appeared in services manager window.
I spent somuch time to identify the cause and resolution.But I dint find any posts on this issue.I suspect that the problem is with custom actions.But not sure.If the problem is with custom actions please let me know how to overcome it.
Please provide a resolution for this issue or share me if there are any links which talks about this.
FWIW, .NET 1.1 isn't supported on Win7. Also I'm guessing you are using InstallUtil custom actions to drive the setup of your .NET Windows Service. These are very fragile and you can eliminate all those brittle points by refactoring and using the ServiceInstall ServiceControl tables in MSI.

Deploying Datasnap Service

Using C++ Builder under Rad Studio XE I have created a simple Datasnap server service from scratch. I wanted to test the service installation process before adding any functionality, and found that while it will install successfully on a range of Windows machines, I haven't been able to get it to Start under a clean installation of Windows 7 x64.
The error message trying to start the service is: Windows could not start the service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file.
I have turned off both dynamic linking and run-time libraries. It starts fine under Windows XP and 2003 operating systems, just not this single Win7 machine that I have. I have opened the firewall for the specified ports, and confirmed no other app is using them as well. The service was installed under Administrator, and logs on as Local System account.
Is there a problem with a C++ Builder compiled service under Windows 7, or maybe 64 bit? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction so I don't have to bang my head against the wall too many more time.
Thanks!
Since C++ Builder creates 32bit applications only, make sure you install the service in the c:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder on 64bit Win7 systems. Windows 7 x64 expects to find only 64bit files/services in the system32 folder.

How to install Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I deleted the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service with sc delete command, now when I try to install Application Server Role, it give me the following error:
Attempt to install TCP Port Sharing
failed with error code 0x80070404. The
specified service does not exist as an
installed service.
How to solve this? Re-install Windows Server 2008 is not an option.
Thanks.
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 is included Windows Server 2008 R2, and .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 is a subcomponent foundation layer of .NET Framework 3.5.1.
To get Net.Tcp back on a machine with this framework release, run ServiceModelReg.exe. See somewhat detailed instructions here.
The crucial part is this:
"%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis" -i -enable
"%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\ServiceModelReg.exe" -r
The "-r" option in ServiceModelReg reinstalls WCF scriptmaps and services on the machine. See "ServiceModelReg.exe /?" for all the options.
Hope this helps!
From the Start menu, open the Services Management Console either by opening a Command Prompt window and typing services.msc or by opening Run and typing services.msc into the Open box.
In the Name column of the list of services, right-click the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service, and select Properties from the menu.
To enable the manual start-up of the service, in the Properties window select the General tab, and in the Startup type box select Manual, and then click Apply.
To start the service, in the Service status area, click the Start button. The service status should now display "Started".
To return to the list of services, click the OK, and exit the MMC Console.
