Cannot succesfully install TimescaleDB on Postgres 10 (Windows Server 2016) - database

I am having trouble getting TimescaleDB to work on my windows server 2016 machine with Postgres 10.
I open up a fresh windows server 2016 instance with AWS and I install Postgres using the windows GUI installer. (C:\Postgres).
The installer automatically updates the path to include the bin directory (C:\PostgreSQL\pg10\bin).
I stop postgres.
I run the TimescaleDB windows installer file and it says it's successfully completed.
I update the conf file. (shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb').
I restart my computer and start postgres, but postgres never sucessfully starts. The windows event yells at me, saying I 2018-03-29 17:01:35 UTC [952]: [1-1] user=,db=,app=,client= FATAL: could not load library "C:/POSTGR~1/pg10/../pg10/lib/postgresql/timescaledb.dll": The specified module could not be found.
Any idea whats going on?

Couldn't install SSMS: A pending restart is blocking setup from completing

SSMS version : 17.7
Log file: Log_file
I have SQL Server 2016 and Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition.
I tried reinstalling both tools but the error is still the same.
Some links mention registry values and I tried that as well, but the problem remains the same.
I have restarted the system multiple times, but the restart pending is still showing.
I found a couple of other methods on some sites, tried them as well, but still the error message is showing.
It stops at the point shown below--not sure about Visual Studio 2015 as I'm using VS2017. I have tried repairing VS and SQL Server 2017 as well.

I had this problem, after force uninstalling Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) the SSMS install completed normally. I did this by searching for vs_isoshell.exe in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache and then running vs_isoshell.exe /uninstall /force from an administrative command prompt from its folder. In my case this was C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\FE948F0DAB52EB8CB5A740A77D8934B9E1A8E301\redist

Search the registry with "visual studio 2015" and deleted all the keys which are either related to shell or prerequisites. Repaired the SQL server 2016 and then installed SSMS. It somehow worked for me.

In my case, find and delete all registry keys with name "Visual Studio 2015 Shell" and it worked

Now i found the solution, i was uninstalled VS 2015(isolated) and concern VS and deleted all "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache" and after that restart the pc and installed SSMS2017 again,It was ok.

In my case, i've got it working forcing uninstalling vs_isoshell.exe (search for it in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache ) then, delete all files and folders in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache, reboot and reinstall...

PostgreSQL 9.3 Uninstall error - Windows 2012

I am trying to uninstall PostgreSQL 9.3 from a Windows 2012 server using the uninstall-postgresql.exe. During the uninstall, I get an error:
The uninstall-postgresql.dat file cannot be found and is required to uninstall the application, aborting. Uninstallation did not complete successfully
The uninstall-postgresql.dat exists. Not sure if its corrupt or something.
Is there anyway to get rid of this error message and still use the uninstall-postgresql.exe to uninstall the DB from the Windows system?

Cannot install SQL Server Management Studio 2012

Running Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (upgraded from 8.0) with all updates installed. I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 using SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe. When the setup is initializing, I get this error:
ScenarioEngine.exe - Configuration parser error
-----------------------------------------------
Error parsing C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\config\machine.config
Parser returned error 0xC00CE556
I tried replacing machine.config with machine.config.default but with no success. Google has no more information regarding this, as far as I can see.
Has anybody seen this error before? How do you solve it?

It can be solved by installing dotnet framework 4.0 on your system.

Replacing machine.config with machine.config.default for both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions did the trick.

Hi
I am unable to instal SQLSERVER2005 evaluation version on winXp service pack2 machine. iam getting the error such that error 87: dotnet framework 2.0 installation and parameter incorrect.
Before run the sqlserver 2005 setup i hav installed .NET FRAMEWORK2.0 manually rather than sqlserver2005 suite.
vs2003 is also installed on my machine.
is it problem vs2003 installation before sqlserver2005??

When you run the installer for SQLServer 2005, the first thing it does is to check if the installation prerequisites are present on the system. That portion of the installer should install a suitable version of .NET Framework 2.0 for SQL Server 2005. Please try installing the framework as a prerequisite to installing SQL.
