Installing/Running an app generated from Electron-package - electron

I have generated an app using electron-package. when running the exe generated in client's windows PC its not running. Is there any prerequisites to be installed in client PC? I haven't installed Node.

Try running your .exe from the command line. Maybe you'll be able to figure out what's causing your app to crash. I had the same problem, double-clicking the .exe would do nothing. When I ran the .exe from the command line (i.e. out\myApp-win32-x64\myApp.exe), I was able to see my app's console.log() and console.err(), and I realized what my problem was.
In my case, my app was using paths relative to process.cwd(), which were messed up when running the app directly from the .exe. That caused the app to crash even before showing the window, hence why nothing seemed to be running.

'daprd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I am trying to debug a huge project using VS Code, the project is supposed to run on dapr using docker. I have installed dapr, docker, both seem to work fine. I also have VS Code, and I managed to get dapr extension for VS Code.
I build the project using dotnet build, no errors, so I am assuming that works fine, but when I try to debug it (run it) I get that error. I have read that it can be caused by having to set up environmental variables, but I don't know which environmental variables, as they seem to be present in the path (c:\users\myself.dapr\bin) is present.
So I have a few questions: what should I do now? and what is the reason behind it? Basically, I want to fix this, but knowing and understanding how, thanks.
As simple as restarting the laptop fix it, I guess that I did all of the installations without restarting and it needed a restart.
It was nothing to do with the environment variables in the end.

How can I uninstall Xcode Server?

I'm developing an iOS app that involves running the API on my dev machine. I use Pow to route the rails stack to http://myapp.dev. I recently set up Xcode Server to test out continuous integration, but it messed up Pow. http://myapp.dev would point to Xcode server instead of my app's backend.
I've since moved the Xcode server onto a different computer in the office and disabled it on my machine, but Pow is still broken. How can I remove it from my dev computer? I've turned off Xcode server, but I can't figure out how to uninstall it so Pow can work again. Using ps aux I can see almost 150 processes that have xcs in their names.
I'm not sure what fixed this problem, but after the second restart, the problem was fixed. In between the first and second reboots, however, I think I tried unloading (using launchctl) services which had xcsin the name. That had no immediate effect, so I assumed it was not working. After the restart, though, Pow was routing correctly.

Issues Getting Intel XDK to run - hangs on startup

I've checked googles and stacks and cannot find an answer for my issue, so I'm asking here.
I've installed Intel XDK 2 on my system (Win 7 64b Pro) but cannot get it to start up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
I have it installed in the default directory \users\\AppData\Intel\XDK (I think that was it) so there shouldn't be an issue with permissions.
It comes up with the "Initializing page" but nothing else. I've left it be for about 1 hour while I worked on something else, but the window never changes and the app doesn't start. If I kill it and reopen it says that it didn't close properly and asks if I want a normal or safe start; I've tried both options.
Anyone have any issue with this?
(and please don't suggest phonegap / cordova... I've tried to install that on Eclipse and Visual Studio and both have failed miserably to simply work, even with the googles assisting me).
Two things to try:
-- Make sure you have a valid hosts file, for some folks this has been a problem getting the XDK to start, for unknown reasons, some systems either are missing their hosts file or have invalid entries which can sometimes cause trouble. On Windows, your hosts file is located here:
\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
-- Uninstall the XDK and then completely remove these two directories from your system:
%AppData%\..\Local\XDK
%AppData%\..\Local\Intel\XDK

Re-install Windows Service - Fail

I developed a Windows Service project, then I installed.
Then I made some changes in the project, and tried to re-build, but it didn't apply the changes. So, I tried to uninstall and install again, but appears an error: "The service already exists". I try to delete, reboot, but I'm still unable to re-install the service (The same error is showed).
Does anybody know how to fix it?
And when I make changes in the project, I need only stop the service and build the project, that the changes are applied?
Thanks
If the Windows service is merely installed, you should be able to rebuild it without issue. Running it after a re-build will then pick up any changes you've made. However, if the service is running when you attempt to rebuild, you'll run into build issues because the assemblies are in use and cannot be changed. Thus, you have to stop the service first, rebuild, and then re-run the service.
As far as dealing with the install/uninstall issue, you should find everything you need to address the issue here.

Cannot Open Devcon

I installed WinDDK 7600 in my Windows XP operating system.Now,when I double click the devcon.exe(Location- D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\tools\devcon\i386),the command prompt is just showing up and suddenly disappears.Can anyone resolve this issue.
As far as I'm aware devcon is a command-line only program. You have to run it from a command window (cmd.exe) with the appropriate parameters. Once you know the parameters you want to use, you can write a batch file to easily recreate the command you want.
I ran across this post because Win7 has a similar problem even when running in cmd.exe.
There is a solution found on Microsofts website here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/devcon-not-working-correctly-in-windows-7/9abcc12c-d7db-4249-aec4-fc4ff0ea6ee8
I have not been able to verify it yet.
The same (a windows open and automatically close) happens even if using a normal command prompt. However opening the command prompt with administrator rights and then run devcon works.
