How to detect missing ink-functionality - windows

I recently discovered our ink-enabled-application didn't run.
It was a Windows (vista or 7) Netbook.
The inking functionality was ether not installed or missing by design.
So my question is:
How can I detect (possible with c#) that windows is missing the inking functionality ?

The last two Q. in the Table PC SDK FAQ seem to answer your question though.

Can't use software 'rosetta' rough set tool on windows 10

I just downloaded and tried to install the 'Rosetta' rough sets tool on my laptop with OS Windows 10, but I can't. And after I search, it seems only compatible for Windows 98 / XP. But the problem I saw in the video tutorial is that anyone can run it on an OS that looks like that. Does anyone know of a solution to being able to use Rosetta on Windows 10?
Error message when I install Rosetta
I have just solved this problem after many days of googling and trying various ways. I use the "Run programs made for previous versions of Windows" feature in the control panel, then troubleshoot. I have also written down the step I did on that, and I uploaded in my medium story, but in "Bahasa Indonesia". So if you want to read it, you can translate it into English first to understand.

Has OleLoadPicturePath been changed in a non-backwards-compatible way?

I recently had an issue where I was able to add an icon to a (VB6) form on one PC where it worked fine, but they was unable to run/compile it on a second PC.
It turned out that the icon file was 32-bit (including an alpha channel) and this was the problem. But I was surprised that this was a system-dependent feature.
(In this specific example it was Win10 x64 which allowed the 32-bit icon, and Win7 x32 which did not).
So now it seems quite unclear what icons are permissible to use in VB6 in which versions of Windows?
I have seen examples such as this question which have a similar issue, and this other question outlines what may have been the original VB6 features when it was new (?) but I can't yet find information that comprehensively breaks down what has changed based on Windows version.
This is important because we don't need to necessarily live within the limitations of (say) Windows XP if we know we are deploying to Windows 8 / 10 only. But nor do I want to risk that a fraction of users will have some dire problem because of this.
I've dug into this a little more - it appears that the Windows API function OleLoadPicturePath() behaves differently in the two Windows versions I mentioned above. On Win7, it will error out with a 32-bit icon; but on Win10 it does not. I'm not sure if there are other API functions which differ also, or not.

Java 8 Install Failure on Windows 10

I'm attempting to install Java 8 JRE on Window 10, and it's failing. The purpose of this is so that I can install SQLWorkbenchJ on my Windows machine. This is my personal machine, and I have complete access privileges. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information to answer this question (e.g., logs).
I've downloaded Java 8 from Oracle, specifically the offline 64 bit version for windows. When I download it, it places the following icon on my desktop:
When I double click on this icon, the following image pops up:
After I click "Yes" and the popup box disappears, nothing happens. Windows continues operating as if nothing happened. The only trace of activity is in the task manager, which shows the following:
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm at a loss for how to push the installation process forward.
Update: I was able to solve this issue by installing the x86 version (32 bit) instead. I'm not sure why the x64 version doesn't work on Windows 10, but I'd seen this solution subtly referred to elsewhere on the internet as a solution. Would be interesting if someone could figure out why the x64 version itself doesn't work.
We have two concerns here - 1. JRE 8u101 (64-bit) fails to install without an error message and 2. JRE 8u101 (64-bit) fails to install on Windows 10.
The first one seems similar to http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8148167 which is a known issue.
However, it would be appropriate to take a look at jusched and JavaDeploy log files to confirm the same.
The second concerns with 64-bit JRE installation in Windows
Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 is not supported a supported browser.
For Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10, see:
Related bug ID: http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8162523
For a solution related to 64-bit installation, suggest you to follow the instructions from the comment in the above bug report.
Hope this helps.
This is known issue https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8148167 , this has already fixed in 8u111/8u112, early access builds are available here - https://jdk8.java.net/download.html, you can download and try to install the same. Do let us know your feedback?
I was having this issue as well and the 8u112 worked from this page
Thank you

IE 11 Developer Tools Issue - Exception in window.onload

I installed Internet Explorer 11 on my Windows 7 machine and it's not building the DOM in DOM Explorer. Does any one know about this issue? I tried to uninstall and re-install IE many times, but the problem still persists. The DOM Explorer tabs shows error shown in image -
This security update fixed it for me and others involved:

Make sure you install the correct version of the security update. There is a different version for x86 installs of Windows 7, too.
I have Windows 7 (x86: 32 bit) and the top answer here said it wasn't applicable to my system. I had to use this one: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=45134

Siebel 7.8.2.16 on Windows 8/IE10

Does anyone know if Siebel 7.8 is supported on IE10 and above? One application is about to be sunset, but will continue for a few months, but the desktops will be upgraded to Windows 8.
Any link to sources from Oracle for supporting or not supporting IE10 will be appreciated, since the official docs (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11886_01/siebel/books/SRSP78/SRSP78.pdf) do not talk about Windows 8 support
The last supported platform for High Interactivity mode is Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 (that is mentioned in document you are linked to the question). As far as I know there is no option to use Windows 8 with IE8, so the plain answer is: no, you cannot use it to access Siebel applications. Still if you find a way to install IE8 there is a little chance that it will work. Consider using some type of virtualization (Windows 8 Pro includes HyperX VM software) or any other methods.
