How to properly install Hack and HHVM on Windows 7 - hhvm

I am trying to install and configure Facebook programming language Hack and HHVM on Windows, probably Windows 7. I could not find any solution on it. I saw a Bitnami link which suggest HHVM Installers.
source
I have downloaded the installer files HHVM installer files
but it cannot run on Windows due .run extension filename. How can I achieve this using HACK and HHVM installations on Windows 7.

Hack and HHVM do not support Windows. There was some work in 2015, but it doesn't seem to have continued since then.
Recent versions of HHVM do not support PHP. The Bitnami link mentions running phpmyadmin, so it looks like it's targeting an old HHVM release.

Hack and HHVM do not support Windows but you can try Building and Installing HHVM on Cygwin or Installation: Building From Source although not recommended because they are monumental tasks.
You can also take a look at Building and Installing HHVM.
I personally gave up and installed the supported package in my Mac where I'm using Visual Studio Code with the HackLang plug-in for development.

PyScripter always says: "Python could not be properly initialized. We must quit."

I've googled for a solution, and based on that, let me report a few details:
I've tried 32-bit PyScripter-v2.6.0-Setup.exe with 32-bit python-3.6.1.exe; and 64-bit PyScripter-v2.6.0-x64-Setup.exe with 64-bit python-3.6.1-amd64-webinstall.exe.
I'm on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine.
I uninstalled other versions of Python on the machine.
Tried unzipping rpyc in the \Lib\ folder, as someone suggested that here.
What else should I be looking at?
Here is a tested Solution
Remove old PyScripter
Install Python from Python website. I installed mine from:
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3.2/python-3.3.2.amd64.msi (and it worked)
Now install PyScripter-v2.6.0-x64-Setup.exe from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyscripter/files/
This should solve the problem.
I got this solution from https: //github.com/pyscripter/pyscripter/issues/715
You are using an old version of Pyscripter. Version 3.4 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyscripter/ provides support for all released python versions, virtual environments, conda distibutions and the ability to switch between them without exiting Pyscripter.

Aptana project types not available

I have recently installed the Aptana plugin for Eclipse as I wish to learn Ruby and Ruby on Rails, it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Usually when I install a plugin of the sort, there will be new project types under the "New Project" menu, but none appeared. I checked tutorials online and they suggest that there should be new project types as seen in the image below, taken from a tutorial.
Instead, I see the same options I did before.
I wondered if the plugin didn't install, but when I try to install it again, It says it's already installed. I am using Eclipse Juno Service Release 2 with a 64-bit Windows 7 operating system and the version of the plugin from the URL given on the Aptana website (http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install). Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't know why that's happening. Here's a suggestion for how to get around it.
You might be better off installing and running the standalone Aptana Studio product. It would be a separate installation on your desktop, and thus wouldn't have the same settings as any Eclipse installation you already had, and would be more space on your hard drive. But probably there isn't much you would share between Ruby/Rails development and other development, and it's not that much space.
I've done it both ways - installed Aptana into an Eclipse I've already got, and installed the standalone version - and now I would only do standalone.
I don't know what was wrong in the first place, but after I installed the Aptana plugin, I installed the PyDev plugin. I think this removed the Aptana plugin because of conflicting dependencies (I don't know why it wouldn't tell me, though). I tried installing the Aptana plugin again and it told me there was a conflicting dependency with the PyDev plugin, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the Aptana plugin. It works now.

Not able to install CollabNet 6.1.1 TeamForge 32 bit on my Windows

I have downloaded the latest version 6.1.1 from the windows installer for 32bit. I have a problem with the installation. The installer checks for software requierements are fulfilled. Out of 4 programs it installs i.e. msys, java, postgre and CsvnEdge, csvnEdge is marked as not installed. Tough in system i can see it is installed. If I cancel the setup and start again, it fails again to find CsvnEdge.

How to install Delphi XE on Win7 64bit that has Delphi 2010 on it with least fuss

Any advice or gotchas that I should be aware of. I know to install in a NEW directory, and to have a backup. I will reread the readme file that included in the Delphi-XE installer.
I've never had problems installing a new release of Delphi with an older version also installed. I have heard that you shouldn't do the opposite (install an old version with a new one already installed) but as far as I know, installing "forwards" works just fine. And specifically installing XE with D2010 already present has never given me any trouble either at work on on my personal system.
Ive had a number of machines with multiple versions of delphi on without issue, however if you are that concerned, a further thought or consideration is to virtualise your development environments as then rather than reinstall you can "copy" .. Ive put mine into the XP mode machine on my windows 7 for that very reason.
I recommend not installing in Program Files (x86). I created a folder C:\DEVTOOLS which has my Borland, Codegear and Embarcadero folders (among others). This is definitely the 'least fuss' option.

What is need to build native extension for Gems on Windows? (RubyGems)

More and more gems I run into requires building "native extensive", such as RedCloth. Are there tools that are open-source or free that is sufficient to do that? I heard MS Visual Studio also has a free version. Will that be enough to build native extensions?
If you installed Ruby with the RubyInstaller (as you should), then the DevKit has everything you need.
If you use the obsolete MSVC6 builds, then you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, because newer versions of MSVC are incompatible. Good luck finding that, though, MSVC6 isn't even from this millenium.
