This is because once a set of shared components is installed, we install all the other components to the same directory structure. The workaround is to find the products that also installed these shared components and remove them, follow the steps as below extract from: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2015/07/14/how-to-install-visual-studio-to-another-directory-when-a-pre-release-is-installed/
Download and install http://psmsi.codeplex.com. These are general-purpose PowerShell cmdlets I created for all sorts of development and troubleshooting operations for Windows Installer-based installs. You do not need to elevate to install them, though if you pre-elevate you can install them per-machine (by default they are per-user).
Open an elevated PowerShell command prompt and run the following to discover which products have installed the key shared component:
get-msicomponentinfo '{777CBCAC-12AB-4A57-A753-4A7D23B484D3}' | get-msiproductinfo
If you’re fine with uninstalling all the listed products (especially given that you’re probably going to install RTM next), run the following:
get-msicomponentinfo '{777CBCAC-12AB-4A57-A753-4A7D23B484D3}' | get-msiproductinfo | uninstall-msiproduct -properties IGNOREDEPENDENCIES=ALL

How to download Visual studio 2019 offline installer

I am going to install visual studio 2019 community edition (latest version) in my PC.I have found link in google which has online installer (1376 KB) size.I would like to download offline installer of visual studio 2019 community Edition.Please share me the download link for offline installer
Microsoft no longer offers offline installers such as .ISO images of Visual Studio -- instead they have instructions of placing the burden on you to create an offline installer. You need to use the --layout command line argument and then run the downloaded installer.
Download and Cache offline files:
vs_community.exe --layout f:\vslayout.2019 --lang en-US
Run from the cached directory
f:
cd \vslayout.2019
vs_community.exe --noWeb
NOTE: Change drive F to match a drive on your system that has ~35 GB of free space for MSVC 2019. See the instructions for command line arguments to select just C++, .NET, etc. options.
You can get help on the command line arguments for the installer via:
vs_community --help
The relevant layout commands are:
command-line option Description
--layout <dir> Specifies a directory to create an offline install cache.
--lang <locales> Used with --layout to prepare an offline install cache with resource packages with the specified language(s). See a full list of supported language-locales below.
--add <workload> One or more workload or component IDs to add. The required components of the artifact are installed, but not the recommended or optional components. You can control additional components globally using --includeRecommended and/or --includeOptional. For finer-grained control, you can append ;includeRecommended or ;includeOptional to the ID (for example, --add Workload1;includeRecommended or --add Workload2;includeOptional).
Note: If --add is used, only the specified workloads and components and their dependencies are downloaded. If --add is not specified, all workloads and components are downloaded to the layout.
--includeRecommended Includes the recommended components for any workloads that are installed, but not the optional components. The workloads are specified either with --allWorkloads or --add.
--includeOptional Includes the recommended and optional components for any workloads being included in the layout. The workloads are specified with --add.
--keepLayoutVersion Apply changes to the layout without updating the version of the layout.
--verify Verify the contents of a layout. Any corrupt or missing files are listed.
--fix Verify the contents of a layout. If any files are found to be corrupt or missing, they are redownloaded. Internet access is required to fix a layout.
--clean <paths to catalogs>

dxgettext and Windows 10

Has anyone got dxgettext running under Windows 10?
I installed dxgettext from the offical homepage under Windows 10, which worked fine.
But whenever I try to run some of the installed tools (e.g. msgfmt.exe), they don't really run, but call themselves again, generating thousands of processes and making the system crawl.
This is what happens:
I call msgfmt --help
the executable msgfmt hangs, blocking the command window
in the TaskManager I see houndreds of msgfmt.exe processes popping up
I think, I have to replace the gettext tools of the dxgettext package with some newer version but before trying to figure it out I first wanted to ask if someone else experienced similar problems and found a working solution.
My questions:
Has anyone got the tools coming with dxgettext running under Windows 10?
What steps have been necessary to get it to run?
I resolved the problem in the following way:
I downloaded https://github.com/mlocati/gettext-iconv-windows/releases/download/v0.19.8.1-v1.14/gettext0.19.8.1-iconv1.14-static-32.zip from https://mlocati.github.io/articles/gettext-iconv-windows.html
I replaced the following files from the installation directory of dxgettext with files from the zip archive:
msgattrib.exe
msgcat.exe
msgcmp.exe
msgcomm.exe
msgconv.exe
msgen.exe
msgexec.exe
msgfilter.exe
msgfmt.exe
msggrep.exe
msginit.exe
msgmerge.exe
msgunfmt.exe
msguniq.exe
xgettext.exe
Result:
Dxgettext and the tools, I use, seem to work fine. I found no problems with my workflow so far, with one exception:
If I use assemble to embed mo-files into an exe compiled with JvGnugettext.pas, I get the following error:
Pach code “6637DB2E-62E1-4A60-AC19-C23867046A89” was not found in .exe file. Are you sure the .exe file has been compiled with the correct libraries?
This may not be related to the original problem. However, it is resolved by replacing the original assemble.exe with the version from https://sourceforge.net/p/dzlib/code/HEAD/tree/buildtools/trunk/ (see answer by #dummzeuch).
The installer on the official home page is pretty old. Last time I looked it contained several outdated dlls and executables from the original gnugettext project that did not work correctly under recent Windows versions. You could take those from my buildtools repository on OSDN. These work for me. No guarantee that they work for you though.
https://osdn.net/projects/dzlib-tools/scm/svn/tree/head/buildtools/trunk/
I've been having these issues too with dxgettext 1.22, in Windows 10 1607. I changed some DLLs at first but kept having the bash.exe looping and hogging my PC to death.
So what I did was basically install latest Cygwin 32bit and replaced the appropiate DLLs. I kept the ones for gettext. Instructions:
Download and fresh install dxgettext-1.2.2.exe from http://dxgettext.po.dk/download as admin. Restart.
Download Cygwin 32bit from https://cygwin.com/install.html in a different folder from dxgettext (I took the default, c:\cygwin)
Run setup-x86.exe and select "Base" Package (Install). Next, Select Required packages just in case.
Move the following files from dxgettext folder to a backup folder (we'll use some DLL later):
cyg*.dll
bash.exe
Copy from c:\cygwin to the dxgettext folder the following files:
bash.exe (set to run as admin)
cygwin1.dll
cygiconv-2.dll
cygintl-8.dll
cygreadline7.dll
cyggcc_s-1.dll
cygncursesw-10.dll
Recover the file(s) below from the backup folder (See #4) and copy to the dxgettext folder.
cyggettextsrc-0-14-1.dll
cyggettextlib-0-14-1.dll
cygintl-3.dll
Running like this, you might get error 740 (requires elevation). So: Set ggmerge.exe,ggfmt.exe to run as admin
** EDIT** Found online this very interesting link, from a programmer who offers a free backup written in Delphi. The good thing is he adapted the dxgettext tools to run in Windows 10. This helped me a lot.

Is Jedi VCS compatible with Windows 8.1?

Has anyone managed to correctly run Jedi VCS Stand Alone Client on Windows 8.1?
I tried but get an exception when syncing files.
"JEDI VCS is unable to create a local copy of this file.
Exception. Unable to create target directory: in [CreateTargetDir]"
I would like to transition to Windows 8 for my Delphi work but if I can not use Jedi then I will have to stay on Windows 7.
Installed Software:
OS : Windows 8.1
Jedi VCS Client: 2.45.820
Some more detail:
I can log in and view projects no issues
I can not sync project due to above error
I have full permissions to target directory (Even deleted and recreated permissions for user on folder)
I can manually create and add files and folders to the sync directory. Only Jedi VCS has the issue.
Target directory is a sub folder of C:. eg C:\MyDev\
I am a member of the admin group on the PC
Thinking the issue was the install location of C:\Program Files (x86), I installed to C:\Programs instead. Same error.
I tried running Jedi VCS as administrator. From right click Run as Administrator and from setting same option on shortcut.
Final Test:
I just tested the Jedi VCS client integrated into Delphi 6 and 2006 IDEs. It is a bit
cluncky but in fact works.
It is not really useable though. If you sync something large with many Delphi project
files (such as custom library or the like) you get a continuous stream of
'syncronisation complete' messages pop up for every project file.
It is is ok for projects with a few project files though.
=============
Any help appreciated.
Peter Mayes
Yes. JediVCS is compatiable with Windows 8.1.
In the end you have to:
Run JediVCS as administrator
If you are syncing to a subst drive (which I actually was) then the subst command must have
been run as administrator. (Tested by right clicking my subst batch file -> Run as
Administrator option)
If the subst is not run as administrator then JediVCS can not sync files to that location
successfully.

vim and cream windows 7 access privileges

I recently installed cream onto a windows 7 laptop. I was installing the rails.vim plugin when tried to issue the :helptags ~/vim/docs command so I can have the rails helpfiles available.
I have since discovered that w7 doesn't allow user privileges in the program files directory so I haven't been able to add the helptags or use edit -> startup settings to change my vimfiles.
I found this thread here Allow access permission to write in Program Files of Windows 7 and a few websites referring to "ultimate windows tweaker" . Has anyone without third party software been able to get access rights for vim or cream on win7?
If you want to have access privileges to the vim folder, then you should rather try a portable version of vim (try gvimportable from http://www.portableapps.com).
The access control has been designed such that multiple users can share a software and not modify it.
As far as I know, on windows XP at least, you can put your vim files in your $HOME directory in a subdirectory called 'vimfiles'.
And you shoud have read/write access to that directory.
If you want to check where Vim is looking for config files in runtime, use
:echo &rtp
You should at least see the default system wide vim directory and your home directory.
If this is a personal install, you'd better put everything in your home.
Have you tried ?
:helptags $HOME/vimfiles/doc
There is a how-to here Take ownership Win 7 on how to grant user access to a folder and subfolders, which will allow me to set the ~/vim folder and subs to have write access.

SDL.NET runtime without installation?

With plain old sdl in C i would copy the dlls i need into the exe directory and was able to run without install.
Now i am using sdl.net. I tried doing that but had no luck. Not even a clue to what dlls are missing as i did in the old C way. How can i have users run my sdl app without installation?
You might create a Setup Proyect and include the DLLs inside (I Thinks that Visual Studio inslude automacally):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/19x10e5c%28v=VS.100%29.aspx
It's not posible that the users runs only the exe. The users, in that case, must install the SDL.Net reditribudible or they may install manually in GAC some DLLs!
