Problem reinstalling Advanced Rest Client - advanced-rest-client

today I saw 2 different versions of ARC in my "Programs and features" Windows 10 list, so I choosed to uninstall the older one because I needed a bit of space. At the end of the uninstall, both of them where disappeared!
So, I downloaded the new version from https://install.advancedrestclient.com/, run as Admin and approved changes to S.O., the program started the installation but stucked at 1/3 of it. I waited for a few minutes, then closed it. Every time I try launching it, it stucks at about 1/3 of the installation.
I've tried searching for registry keys, and simply restarting the PC, with no luck.
Please help me if you can, because I really need that prog.
Thanks in advance

Had the same problem. Uninstall from program files didn't work for me either. I used ccleaner to remove then reinstall. Ccleaner will find appropriate registries.

In addition to using CCleaner, as suggested by Ray above, I had to do the following:
1) In the classic "Programs and Features" list (Control Panel style) of Windows 10, I chose Uninstall, upon which Windows 10 said it cannot find the program and asked if I want to remove the program from the list. I answered Yes.
2) Manually delete the folders "Advanced Rest Client" and "advanced-rest-client" (I had both) from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming and from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (had only one of them).
After that, a fresh installation with the newest arc-setup.exe (version 15.0.5) worked.

(Resolved) Eclipse Repeats actions that produce pop up windows

Downloaded & Installed/unzipped Eclipse 2020-9 to see if my old version ( Mars ) was broken.
When I do something simple like
Add a Folder
I get two "create folder dialogues"
2 popups
Same when I right click to delete a folder, I get two delete dialogue boxes.
these are just two examples, I'm guessing most actions will have two reactions!
Cannot debug a target get an error ( Stop the first session before staring a new one )
guessing Run->Debug is fired twice too.
I'm a long time eclipse user, so really curious why this is happening
issue started when I got a 'new' win 7 pc, discovering this bug while setting up my environment
any hints are welcome.
Used OpenJDK and Oracles Java 8 same issue ( Tried two versions of eclipse, same issue )
Eclipse is used for C development with ARM MCUs with OpenOCD and Gcc for ARM.
Many thanks for taking time to read this.
Regards

Solution:
Fixed nVidia graphic driver application software was the culprit, the one that makes enhances the user experience by making windows go transparent when you drag them, good useful stuff like that. Uninstall nVidia desktop enhancing tools and Eclipse (and Notepad++ ) work perfectly Eclipse was never the problem, just the side effect.

Visual studio debugging starts but application doesn't

So, the problem that I am having is that when I push F5, or click Start, Visual Studio starts debugging, but the application doesn't actually build. If I go to my Task Manager, and look for the process it isn't there. Or, if I alt-tab between the programs I had open. I have had this problem twice now. The last projet I started, I encountered this problem. I spent days looking for answers on my time off but couldn't find anyhting. So i started a new project. And now I'm getting the same thing. If I go to my source tree and go back to a previous build and discard my changes, it works fine. But the problem comes back. Its not my coding. I am not getting any build errors. And I don't have any break points. So i can't hit continue. PLease alos note, that between it working, and not working I have not changed ANY setings in Visual Studio. I will post what I have tried. If I forget anything, please forgive me. I have days and days of history to go through in my browser.
Restarted Computer and VS
Ran VS in Admin
Always Build is selected in Tools -> Options -> Projects and
Solutions -> Build and Run
Make sure project is set to Debug in Solution Configuration and
Build is checked in Configuration Manager.
Make sure Only BUild startup projects and dependencies on run is
unchecked
Clean Solution
Unchecked Enable the Visual Studio hosting process in Project ->
Properties -> Debug tab
Made sure vshost32.exe was not running in the background while
program was not running in the Task Manager.
Deleted contents of bin and obj files in my project folder file and
reset computer.
Tried running the program from the exe in previously mentioned
bin/obj file. (The last one does start the process in Task Manager. But still doesnt show in the task bar, or alt tab.)
None of these have worked. I am getting very frustrated at this. Maybe I am not looking for the right thing in Google...
I suggest you close all third party tools/processes like the Anti-virus or others, and then re-debug it.
Or
You could run your VS in safemode:
devenv /SafeMode
Some community members found that the symbols loaded is really slow recently, and this issue has been report the Microsoft product team, so please also disable the Microsoft symbols server under TOOLS->Options->Debugging->Symbols. Debug it again.

Conemu problems with vi, top and clear

The cygwin bash console only resets the cursor to the top of the screen, it does not clear the screen. vi does funny things with the cursor - hard to explain, but the cursor seems double wide when in vi. top output is mostly double-spaced, but sometimes single spaces.
When I use mintty I have none of these issues.
I've tried all kinds of settings in the last several hours, too many to list. Seems like I'm going backwards. I've got conemu working great on another computer, and I've tried replicating the setup but there must be something I'm missing.
What information can I provide to help solve these issues?
I've someone else runs into this issue: you probably need to set TERM=cygwin in your .bashrc.
Turns out the problem machine had an old version of Cygwin. Mintty received a major upgrade in July 2015. Numerous other packages have been upgraded also in the 2 years since I installed Cygwin in that machine. After upgrading Cygwin, the problems went away.

Getting the examples in libspotify to work under Windows 7

I want to get started with libspotify on my Win 7 machine but I dont have a clue on how to get it all setup so that I can even run the examples included in the pack. I have a Spotify Premium account and I have tried installing libspotify by copying libspotify.dll to c:\windows, c:\windows\system32 and to c:\windows\SysWOW64 and also changed the path variable to include the path where libspotify.dll is located but I still dont understand how to get the examples to work.
I have Code::Blocks installed but as soon as I try to import and run any of the .c files included in the /examples/ folder I get all kinds of error messages. The truth is that I am not even sure how to install libspotify and the documentation is absolutely non existent so for a beginner it is impossible to even have a chance at getting started.
Is there somebody out there who can do a simple walkthrough on how to install libspotify and get the examples up and running on a Win 7 (64-bit) machine?
The only thing I really want to do with libspotify is to be able to via a command prompt or something like that be able to queue a song in Spotify so I dont really care about the other parts. But I can probably solve that by myself as long as I can get an example up and running.
Sadly libspotify is not well-supported on Windows, in fact the example code won't even build because there is no Windows audio driver for them. Your best bet to just get up and running would be to use mingw, or linux in a VirtualBox environment.

System.OutOfMemoryException and a few exceptions happen during application run, Visual Studio 2010 WPF C#

I just discovered this problem today, and I had no idea what caused this problem. My project had been developed for few months.
I have a project(solution), with several projects in there, it works well if I write and debug, by pressing F5.
The problem occur is when I press Ctrl+F5 (to skip debug mode), or run directly from double click the exe, it crashed. The errors dialogs that pop up every times are different, but OutOfMemoryException is the most frequent one.
I had checked to make sure all my projects are .Net 3.5
I put a MessageBox.Show("something") at the beginning of my main project constructor, but it never reach.
I use some registry cleaner to clean/fix my registry, scan for viruses.
I had try to read the meaning of each error and exception, but still no clue why it happen.
These are a series of screenshots if I press Ctrl + F5. (FutureGenerator is some random name I gave to my project.)
Series of screenshot if I run the app from my debug folder, FutureGenerator.exe
I suspect this is caused by framework crashed during Windows Update, but I removed those update that I performed recently, still same. The exe file works on other non development PC, but I don't want to reformat my PC or reinstall my VS, yet, because it's a painful process.
Any idea, anyone?? Million thanks.
You mention v3.5 but the very first screenshot is about v4.
Try repairing your Framework 4 and/or VS2010
I found the problem. It's actually because I added FutureGenerator.exe into Application Verifier by Microsoft. The verifier only support debugging testing.
After I removed FutureGenerator.exe from the Application Verifier, everything's ok.
