R6034, but really don't know why - visual-studio-2005

I have no problem with Microsoft,but they hate me that's true. I have an application written in Visual Studio 2005,where it's build works fine (VS2005 SP1, Win XP SP3). But I have another PC where I would like to run it. When I try to start it then comes the R6034 error, then I click Retry, then the error comes again, then again Retry and the program starts and works fine.I don't want to see this error message again.
The OS in this PC is Win 7 (64bit). I have installed the required vcredist also.
I have read that I must build my application with a manifest which i have done. I have done the linker one , and I have also embedded a manifest. I have copied all the requied DLLs from the Visual Studio library with their manifest files into the folder where the exe exists, but still nothing.
I'm really disappointed because I have tried almost everything.Please, if someone know's anything which I can try then help me.If you need more info just tell me.
Thanks in advance!

Visual Studio Error: Sorry, something went wrong - The install operation failed

I am trying to modify my Visual Studio by adding Python development and Node.js Development, but it keeps saying "Sorry, something went wrong - The install operation failed" and it doesn't download and install these features.
Same happens when I'm trying to uninstall already installed elements like .NET desktop development or when I'm trying to uninstall Visual Studio or repair it.
I have tried multiple solutions, but all of them didn't work unfortunately.
Can anyone help me please? I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
The installer downloaded a vs_setup_boostrapper.exe to %temp%\vs\setup<random> directory.
If you run that file manually, then it will get past the roadblock and popup a dialog that tells you you're missing a required --productid parameter. Ignore that, exit, and then kill any setup.exe processes still running. (For me the vs installer locks up when it fails, and always has two setup.exe processes that must be killed.)
At this point you can just run the vs installer normally, and it will work correctly.

Multi-byte character set is not found in VS2015 VC++ Redistributables

I have created a simple plane MFC application using VS 2015 and if i try to run the exe in another windows 10 machine where VC++ 2015 redistributables are present, then exe is not getting launch.
If i change it to Unicode then it works fine in another machine where VC++ 2015 redistributables are present, its failing specific MBCS.
in the Event viewer i noticed below error,
"Application popup: MFCApplication2.exe - System Error : The code execution cannot proceed because mfc140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."
i checked the mfc140.dll its present in system 32 folder, also i placed the same dll at the exe level and run. again new error noticed in event viewer like
Application popup: MFCApplication2.exe - Application Error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
For testing purpose, i made the application as static linkage, in that case its working fine in another machine, but for dynamic linkage the exe is not launching in another machine.
Here are the list of VC++ Redistributes present in the windows 10 machine.
How we can fix the issue?
Edit,
Here i found MBCS installer for 2013 (http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9832071). But if i run i'm seeing below error, why we require VS for running MBCS i'm not understanding.
thanks

Visual studio 2017 installer opens in taskbar but does not show

I am trying to install Visual Studio 2017 Community edition on my Dell laptop running Windows 10 64-bit. I download the community web installer and run the .exe file. The program shows it's extracting some files, then asks for admin permission, which I give yes, and then I only get an icon on the taskbar as shown in the picture below. It does not seem to run or anything. Even opening a second instance comes to the same dead end.
I have also tried offline installation by downloading the files via command prompt. But again after one stage, the process opens this installer.exe file and comes to the same dead end.
I am not sure if I am missing any other installations, or any other supporting libraries are corrupted. I have searched in other forums where they suggest the problem occurring due to multiple display setup or dual graphics adapter, but my setup is nothing like that. I have only Intel HD graphics running on my laptop monitor.
I need VS 2017 badly and any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Edit
I was able to run the visual studio installer somehow by changing the setup.exe to run in Windows 8 compatible setting. Now, after installing, if I run the VS 2017 application, I am getting the same kind of problem. I only get an icon on the taskbar, I dont get any VS 2017 Window.
After googling, I found a way to get the log file when the application starts. The xml document indicates 4 errors on startup. Looks like some components are unable to be loaded. I have no idea why. I am attaching the screenshot here of the log file showing the 4 errors. The entire log file - VS 2017 log file
I solved this problem of mine by re-installing the windows. I don't know what was the root cause of the problem earlier but I had other features like VPN not working properly in my OS so I figured that its high time I do it.

DEVENV Command line build fails with: "This operation may only take place in the UI thread"

we virtualized our build server and having issues building some c++ projects.
It is a win7 (we have some vb6 projects) with visual studio 2017.
When I build a project it just errors out with "This operation may only take place in the UI thread".
Also it is completely random...sometimes it compiles, sometimes it does not.
I have no idea why and what I could try to fix it. I have also a Win10 build machine where the problem does not happen. We want to stick with the Win7 build machine though, because on the Win10 one we got issues with some vb6 projects.
If I use msbuild it works fine, I would rather not replace all devenv calls for now though.
Anyone an idea what the issue could be or how to debug it?
Seems to be an issue with Visual Studio 2017 15.6.x. works fine with 15.5.7

VS2012 Javascript Debugging Won't Work

For the last 2 days I have had a right pigs ear of a problem that I just have not been able to get past.
Any time I try to debug an Windows 8 store JavaScript app using VS2012 on my laptop I get the following error:
>Unable to start debugging 'C:\Windows\system32\wwahost.exe'.
>
>Microsoft Visual Studio Debugging Monitor (MSCVMON.EXE) failed to
>start. If this problem persists, please repair your Visual Studio
>installation vis 'Add or Remove Programs' in control panel.
This happens when I try to debug locally and in simulator.
This only happens for javascript projects, all other types of projects work fine.
So far the steps I have taken are:
repaired installation
installed update 1
Added all application packages to program files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug on security tab.
uninstalled and re-installed
Nothing has worked.
Interestingly this error is about remote debugging which I am not trying to do, I didn't have remote debugging installed for 2012 but it was installed on my system for VS2008.
I installed it for VS2012 and opened the monitor while I tried to debug and nothing showed in the log.
I did an install using same VS2012 DVD on a fresh win8 desktop installation and it has no issues it all works fine although it did ask me on first run to set the permissions (I cant remember if it did this on my laptop).
I think the problem came when installing on my laptop it asked me if I wanted to import setting from previous versions of Visual Studio and I said yes.
I have done constant internet searching on this topic for last 2 days and some people are saying the problem is caused by VS2012 trying to open some VS2008 files but how to fix this is not clear.
When I uninstalled VS2012 and re-installed it didn't ask me if I wanted to import settings so I think I didn't fully un-install it (it still had a list of my recently accessed projects after the re-install).
Sorry for the long post but this has driven me crazy and I just cannot think of what to try next. Can anyone please help?
