babel, and create-react-app blocked by group policy windows 10 - reactjs

When trying to run the create-react-a-app or 'babel' command in command line, I get the error:
This program has been blocked by group policy
I have been unable to find the offending policy on my machine using the group policy editor.
could not find any solutions online so far. Would greatly appreciate being pointed in the right direction here.

Just saw this:
I got the exact same error. Thought it was my company's policies that prevented npx.
First I ran set-execution policy as an administrator in power shell. Then I remembered that I had already create one project with npx. Apparently I had used the same name for that project. After changing the project name, everything ran smoothly.
Not sure if the set-execution policy step is necessary, but I ran it and it worked.

SQLAlchemy/pgAdmin: Error: password authentication failed for user "root"

I'm conducting a study and I need to store some data. I found an open source data scraper and parser online: https://github.com/hicsail/materials
I've followed some instructions (some of which but not all came from here) and
installed Postgres, created a docker-compose.yml file, and created a config file:
Above is the config file, and this is the .yml file
I started by going into the pgAdmin folder and running "docker-compose up", after which, this was the result:
I'm not sure if the "no privileges flag" means anything. Anyway, after this, I opened up a localhost:5050 in my browser and logged into pgAdmin.
I named the database "materials" as this was what it was supposed to be named.
Same thing with the username and password; both were named "root". However, when I run the command to parse the data, I'm getting this error:
I've been stuck on this for a long time now, and I can't seem to find any solution. This is running in a python2.7 conda environment, as per the requirements. These were the other installed libraries (I'm not 100% sure those were the exact versions, but I tried to get them as close as possible).
psycopg2==2.7.3.1
requests>=2.20.0
SQLAlchemy==1.0.9
wheel==0.24.0
If I need to clarify anything please let me know.
Thanks.
I found an answer for this. I had to go into services, then to postgres, and stop it from running. I then had to kill the port "5432" and run it again.

Mongo DB - bash: mongo: command not found

So I have been learning about databases and I'm new to it. In my udemy course the video was outdated for the installation of MngoDB version 6.0.1. The video instructor showed a way to install it using the vim editor. However it didn't work for me. Then I discovered that many people are going through the same problem and a guy told a solution to delete the file created with vim and instead use "system environment variable". I edited the path by adding a new one in which I did exactly as the guy mentioned to specify the 'bin' folder inside mongoDB in the Program files. And when I tried to run the 'mongod' command inside hyper I got this at the last line.
{"t":{"$date":"2022-09-09T10:05:27.885+05:30"},"s":"I", "c":"NETWORK", "id":23016,
"ctx":"listener","msg":"Waiting for connections","attr":{"port":27017,"ssl":"off"}}
The instructor did mention that I should see something like "Waiting for connections at port 27017". However the last line in hyper doesn't explicitly mention it in one line, but I think that's fine. Because the instructor was using a mac and I am using a Windows device. Now here comes the main error. When I open a new tab in Hyper and type 'mongo', I get this error
$ mongo
bash: mongo: command not found
I've researched a lot on stackoverflow but nothing helped me in the end. However I can provide with something that might help in figuring out the solution. Here's something unusual that I noticed. The 'bin' folder in C:/ProgramFiles/MongoDB/Server/6.0 seems to contain very few files. It has only 2 .exe applications namely - 'mongod.exe' & 'mongos.exe'. There is no 'mongo.exe' that my instructor has on her computer. I think this might be the root of the problem, however I'm not sure. also there are other files that seem to be missing. But I would like to mention that I've not tampered the files even once since I've installed them from the setup. I hope this is enough for you guys to solve this. Please help me.

Google Appengine Deployment Security Woes

We are having trouble deploying our Google Appengine application. We get the following error message
from the indicated deployment command at the Unix shell prompt.
/home/leffstudent/appengine/bin/appcfg.sh update ~/u3/web/war -p proxy.wiu.edu:8080

There is no browser on this computer, a Linux virtual machine, used as the programming opportunity for the School of

I cut and pasted the address and entered into Chrome into the computer that has run putty. I get the code in that browser. I cut that and tried to paste it back
into the browser. NO luck.
I get
"java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused"
(This has been difficult because this Putty does not seem to have menu items for cut and paste.)
I tried about seven times. Several times, I also tried simply typing the code in carefully. No luck.
The graduate student on the project also tried themselves--no luck!
Thanks for any insight. In particular, it seems I should I ask the system administrator who set up the disk slice with our School of Computer Sciences'
server for a "browser." What should I specifically ask for? I did not see any documentation of what the google appcfg.sh program is doing when it tries to "open it in your browser now."
We have a project on which five people have worked over several year time frame that is dead in the water because we can no longer
deploy.
I'm not sure why the code isn't working - it should. As a work-around why not:
push the code to a git repo (e.g. bitbucket)
pull it to a machine that does have a browser
Set up the browser-machine to run GCloud under the account you're hoping to authenticate with
Deploy from there

Issue Signing xap file in post build event on TFS Build

We have a silverlight(5) project, the source in TFS (2010) and Continuous Integration build has been setup and working fine. However, we are now at the stage where we are trying to release it to some users to get them using it and give feedback. I've set up the code so that it checks for updates and if there are any it downloads the latest xap file. However this requires the xap file to be signed. No problem when doing this from our dev machines, but when it comes to the automated build it fails, with the message
Xap packaging failed. Cannot locate the signing tool SignTool.exe.
I've tried numerous things to get the signtool to be recoginised and can't. However, we don't actually need this on the CI build, so I've then tried a second tack which is to make the postbuild event conditional on being run in VisualStudio. Followed various suggestions here on SO but can't gett them to work.
The post build event is
if "$(BuildingInsideVisualStudio)" == "true" (
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\signtool.exe" sign /f "$(SolutionDir)castle.pfx" "$(TargetDir)Castle.xap"
copy "$(TargetDir)Castle.xap" "$(SolutionDir)Castle.Web\ClientBin"
)
still no joy. Have tried multiple variations of this, but keep getting the same message from the automated build.
So can anyone help with either a) getting the signing tool to be recoginised on the build server or b) getting the automated build to skip the postbuild event?
Found the problem in the end...
I had been putting in place some features so the app would download and install the latest xap file. This requires it to be signed. As this wasn't working I followed some instructions on signing a xap file, not realising that one of the other developers here had put in place the code I described above in the post build event.
I had mistakenly thought that this was created as a result of me checking the 'Sign The Xap File' check box.
So first issue was that other developer had not shared his pfx file with us to add to our certificate stores.
Second, and main issue, was that we then had two attempts at signing going on. The one via the check box and the one via the post build event. I removed the check box and it worked fine.
The issue with the check box is that it expects the SignTool.exe to be in a particular location. On our development boxes with full VS it is where it is looking for it, but on the build server it wasn't. Think it may also have something to do with 64bit machines.
By using only the build event (once you have the correct certificates installed) you can specify explicitly the location that the signtool is going to be, and if necessary install the windows sdk to that location.
This is the top result in Google for this error so updating it with my steps to resolve.
The above didnt work for me but performing the steps below should fix it.
Install the Windows 8.1 SDK on the build server (Windows 2008 R2 for me)
Adding the Windows SDK BIN directory (that contains signtool.exe, on my server) to the Environment PATH variable - e.g. c:\program files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin - note: Do not add quotes around this
Restart all the Visual Studio Team Foundation services in services.msc after you add the file path to the PATH variable as it needs to reload these before building

An Error Occurred While Downloading A Required File

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not, since I have no idea what's causing this problem. I have a WPF application that was compiled into a setup project. After building the setup project, there are two files: setup.exe and [Program Name].msi. I put both files in the same directory in an ASP.NET website, served via IIS 7.5. Everything was working fine for about a week, until I started getting the error:
"An error occured while downloading a
required file. You may retry
downloading the file or cancel setup."
This happens when I click on a link on my website for the setup.exe file. After seeing this error, there's a tab labeled "Details" which I can click to display the message:
"An error occurred trying to download
'[website url for the .msi file]'. See
the setup log file located at
'C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Temp[some
alphanumeric
sequence].tmp\install.log' for more
information."
I looked at this file, but it just restates that there was a problem downloading the .msi file. Can anyone offer me some suggestions? I'm really stumped on this, and have no idea where to go...
Many thanks for the help!
Andrew
EDIT: This appears to be a problem with the computer that I'm downloading the program to. I tried downloading and installing the program on a different computer, and everything worked fine. Apparently, I must have changed some setting on my computer to cause this, although I'm not sure what that is...
So you're trying to download these files directly? Could the server be preventing the download of the .msi file type? How is the download taking place? Is it user initiated?
I was experiencing the same issue this morning and I finally figured out that it caused by either one (or both) of the following settings in IIS:
Compression: I had compression enabled for both static and dynamic files
Output Caching: I had bit Enable cache and Enable Kernel Cache enabled
I cleared all of the above check boxes and after that the setup.exe downloaded the MSI without a problem!
You connection was interrupted just try the preview command you type and also check your connection
