PostgreSQL 9.3 Uninstall error - Windows 2012 - database

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?

Trying to install SQL Server 2012 on win 7. Its a 64-bit machine. I get the following error

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Setup
The following error has occurred:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.ATL, version="8.0.50727.6229", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32"'.
Please refer to Help and Support for more information.
HRESULT: 0x80070422.
The problem was with Windows update.The "Windows Module installer" service was disabled once i enabled it and cleared up all the updates in C:\Windows\software distribution folder, it started updating and when i install the sqlserver-2012 i dint get that error anymore.
This is where i found about the service.

PostgresSQL / pgAdmin4 / dump server version mismatch

I tried to make a backup with Postgres 11.1 in pgAdmin4, but it failed.
pgadmin displayed a window with
Status: Failed (exit code: 1).
pg_dump:server version: 11.1; pg_dump: 10.5
pg_dump: aborting because of server mismatch
I don't really understand it. Does pgadmin4 not know that I am using 11.1 and not 10.5?
PROBLEM SOLVED - IN MY CASE.
Go to
pgadmin < Preferences < Path < Binary Path
The PostgreSQL Binary Path was set automatically to $DIR/../runtime
I changed the Path to my installed PostgreSQL Version C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin
Your pgAdmin is using PostgresSQL client v10, but your server is v11.
Since v10 cannot know how to correctly dump a v11 database, it refuses to try.
Use a more recent version of pgAdmin!

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

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?
This may be related to https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/issues/485#issuecomment-377533298 which is caused by a missing dependency, Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015.

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.
