I have a Program Setup project in my solution that should install my program to the default location:
[ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer][ProductName]
However, this is not working and the installer is dumping all of the project files into my C: drive during installation without creating any folders at all. Even the installer says the files will be installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\blah\blah", but they aren't. I double-checked I have values set for manufacturer and product name that don't include any special characters besides space.
I followed this tutorial step by step to get where I am:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/ide/walkthrough-deploying-your-program-cpp?view=vs-2019
Any ideas on what could be causing my installation files to be placed in the C: drive?
I will say, my project runs correctly when running from the C drive, so the installation is technically working, it's just failing to create the program files folders and place the installation files in the correct location.
Thanks.
It seems the issue has to do with permissions on the computer. The files install to the correct directory when the installer is ran from the downloads folder.
I still find it odd that the installer dumps files into the C root drive instead of aborting the task, but at least I know now you can avoid this issue by running installer from the downloads folder.

Is it related or not I don't know but when I install firebase and open VS Code again, this problem appeared in package.json and package-lock.json when click to 'Open anyway' button Text-Editor this nulnulnul issue come up
nul problem:
When I open package.json file with Hex Editor shown like this
with hex editor:
Edit:
I deleted package.json files and install all packages again and it works
just extract the files before you even open the zipped files in the vs code
Had similar experience and these are the steps I took.
If you've push the project to github or any source control system, copy the package.json file in the repo, delete the corrupted package.json file in the project folder, then paste the copied package.json file on your project folder.
I went through this problem
The cause of the problem was that I had the files in extension Example.rar
Then instead of extracting the files by decompressing them
I dragged it through a program window through
instead of extracting it naturally
I was using a system at the time ubuntu And I want to access the files through a program "vs code"
The program I was using is called "Archive Manager"
The Archive Manager in Ubuntu is a utility program that allows users to manage compressed archives, such as ZIP, TAR, RAR, GZIP, and BZIP
Solve the problem if you go through the same experience as me
Unzip the files normally
Then try to make sure the files are working
I'm here again with another case that is getting me out my mind.
So, this is happening, I'm trying to run an executable java class(.jar) as a Windows Service, and all my attempts failed so far. To make it a little easier, I turned my jar into a batch file, wich only executes the jar in background, here is the code:
start "" javaw -jar C:\LocalService.jar
The batch works fine. However I have tried to install this batch as a service by using the next line in cmd:
sc create "LocalService" binPath= "C:\LocalService.bat"
The Service installs correctly, but as soon as I try to start it, it pops up an error (The code error is 1053, says something about the service did not start correctly)
Also, I have try with a software called NSSM (non-sucking service manager) It installs fine too, but the service does not start either.
Do you guys know what am I missing?
By the way, I'm doing all this on Windows 7 Professional.
Thanks!
thanks for your comments
Both tools didnt work for me, sadly. However I was able to do it with a software called Java Service Wrapper. This is not a free software, so I needed to buy a license to get it to work.
The steps were simple:
1.-Create a folder with the name of the service, then inside add 4 folders: lib,bin,logs,conf
2.-On the lib folder you have to copy your jar and also the wrapper.jar and wrapper.dll (these last two are in the zip you download from the website)
3.-Copy 4 files to the bin folder: InstallApp-NT.bat.in, App.bat.in, UnintstallApp-NT.bat.in and wrapper.exe (this last one is the one that defines your license, if you can get a file wrapper.exe from somebody else who had paid a license it will work fine. These file also came in the zip from the website) Remove the .in from the batch files
4.-The most tricky step is this: You have to copy from the wrapper's folder called conf a file called wrapper.conf.in Remove the .in extension and edit it with a tex editor. The most important lines you have to edit are:
wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java //Specify JRE Path. Will work with eviroment variable
wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperJarApp //Choosing this class means your are using a .jar file to execute when the service starts
wrapper.java.classpath.1=C:\LocalService\lib\wrapper.jar //This one is constant.
wrapper.java.classpath.2=C:\LocalService\lib\LocalService.jar //This is the path to your executable jar
wrapper.java.library.path.1=C:\LocalService\lib //Path to your own lib folder (the you created at the begining)
wrapper.app.parameter.1=C:\LocalService\lib\LocalService.jar // again the path to your jar
Then just execute the InstallApp-NT.bat and start the service and your are done
It worked to me with absolute paths, however according to documentation it will work fine with relative path too.
This is how I solved my problem and I hope someone with the same issue will find this helpful
See you next time!
After Haskell Plaftform 2013.2.0.0 installation, the cabal.exe is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\HaskellPlatform\2013.2.0.0\lib\extralibs\"
After execution of "cabal install cabal-install" the updated cabal.exe file is in "C:\Users\Alberto\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin"
But the old cabal.exe is still in "..\extralibs", so it is always the old version to be performed.
User variables for Alberto: PATH = C:\Users\Alberto\AppData\Roaming\cabal\bin
System variables: Path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\lib\extralibs\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\PC Connectivity Solution\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell Platform\2013.2.0.0\mingw\bin
I hastily solved this problem by deleting the cabal.exe file in "..\extralibs", but I do not think that this is the best solution.
I have found this problem even on other computers with Windows operating systems (Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8)
You can specify where to install cabal with the "--bindir=" option. So if you do the following, it should find it (You may have to run it from an administrative command prompt):
cabal install --bindir="C:\Program Files (x86)\Haskell\bin" cabal-install
The Haskell\bin directory didn't exist on my install (Haskell Platform 2014.2.0.0 on Windows 8 64-bit), but the install still put it first in the path. So I assumed that is where it expected cabal to install. Doing so will make sure it is found first. You can check with where cabal. It will list all cabal's on the path, with the first one used by default.
I need to run Jboss 7 as service.
Followed these steps :-
Copied my Jboss to C:\Program Files <86>
Downloaded Jboss-native-2.0.10-windows-x64-ssl and copied the contenst of bin catalog to %JBOSS_HOME%/bin
Changes done on service.bat as per link instructions
https://community.jboss.org/message/724488
Changed my dir location to my Jboss bin
and given command service.bat install
C:\Program Files \jboss7>bin>service.bat install
Failed installing JBAS50SVC
Access is Denied.
Service JBoss Application Server 7.1.1 installed.
I'm not able to rectify this problem .
It appears to be windows access issue.
Try the following:
Does the windows ID you are using have Administrator privileges? If no, get a Admin ID else if Yes, proceed to step 2.
Try to do the same but in some other drive (not c: )
UPDATE #1 : OP says he can not see the output of service.bat file
Follow the following steps
Open start menu
Search for "cmd"
Right click "cmd" and run as Administrator
type in following command
cd C:\Program Files \jboss7\bin
Type service.bat and observe the output
On a 2008 Windows Server this occurs because you're not running the command line as an administrator. Those of us who have spent considerable amounts of time on 2003 server, and others before that, keep forgetting that your logged in ADMIN level account does NOT get passed to the command line automatically like with previous versions of Windows.
With any additional errors, past this one, I would keep going back to the service.bat file and looking at the path statements, throughout that file, to ensure that they are all correct to reach what is correct for your installation.
Also, don't forget to create a log folder under standalone (unless you're doing a domain install). Failure to do that will also cause issues as well.

Any comment?
The Java App Engine 1.7.7.1 SDK has been released to address this windows specific issue.
The Google Eclipse plugin has been updated, as well as the Google App Engine Maven artifacts and plugin (just use the 1.7.7.1 version).
to solve the library error message, you have to do this:
1) open your windows explorer and locate it to your eclipse folder. e.g. ".\eclipse\plugins\com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7\appengine-java-sdk-1.7.7\lib\user".
2) you will then see a file called "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar", rename it to "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.original". (just don't delete as you need in future)
3) copy that 2 files you created earlier - "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-1.jar" and "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-2.jar" and paste into this folder.
4) switch it eclipse ide, clean the project and rebuild it. then, the error message will go away.
i solved the issue by splitting the "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar" file my own.
in case anyone else want to know how to do that, follow these steps
1) unzip "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar" file from 7z.
2) balance them into 2 folders (each about 15mb) regardless any structure.
3) name the first folder as "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-1" and second folder as "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-2".
4) make sure you have jdk installed. e.g. "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin". set it to environment so you can run the file from that bin folder.
5) IMPORTANT: you must go into that first "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-1" folder and not at the parent folder of those folders.
6) launch cmd.exe and type "jar cf appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-1.jar *" for the first archive.
7) do it again the same for the second archive (repeat step 5 and step 6).
8) go to \war\web-inf\libs folder, delete the existing appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar.
9) copy and paste the appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-1.jar and appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7-2.jar into \war\web-inf\libs folder.
10) now deploy it. it should work like charms!
EDIT:
Spelling correction.
Using that instruction :
To clarify, we're going to release a minor update for 1.7.7. For the
meantime, you can re-jar the file as follows:
cd to the working directory
$ jar xf somewhere\appengine-java-sdk-1.7.7\lib\user\
appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.**jar
$ jar cfm somewhere\appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.**jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF *
and replace the old jar with the newly created one.
from http://www.mail-archive.com/google-appengine#googlegroups.com/msg67954.html
and the messages from the solutions here, I was able to make it work like this :
Open a command line and go into the bin directory of your JAVA installation where the jar.exe file is
cd "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_17\bin\"
Then, you need to find the file "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar" somewhere on your computer. It's at 2 places (not counting the temp directories), in the \war\WEB-INF\lib folder in your eclipse project and also in the "plugins" folder of your eclipse installation. Precisely there : \plugins\com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7\appengine-java-sdk-1.7.7\lib\
You just need one of those 2 paths.
Now in the command line, just type :
jar xf "C:\whatever-folder-your-eclipse-is-in\plugins\com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7\appengine-java-sdk-1.7.7\lib\user\appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar"
and then
jar cfm "C:\whatever-folder-your-eclipse-is-in\plugins\com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.7.7\appengine-java-sdk-1.7.7\lib\user\appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar" META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Now, if you go to that folder and check the .jar file, it should now be 11 mb instead of 30 something. Now you need to copy this one and replace the same jar in your webapp folder in \war\WEB-INF\lib\ so that both jars named "appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.7.7.jar" have a 11 mb size.
Now the error should be gone and you don't have to split anything.
