Use Ghostscript with WAMP - wampserver

After I downloaded Ghostscript for Windows and successfully installed it, I wonder now how can I make WAMP recognize it so I can use it with shell_exec ?
I specify that I added the Ghostscript directory in the system path and when I run the command line, it works fine.
I have WAMPServer 2.5 and Windows 7.

Is there any windows command for display the path of files that were installed via pip command?

I installed OpenCV program via pip install opencv_contrib_python in Windows 10 terminal, but the terminal only showed me the progress and where it downloaded the files from. I had a hard time to figure out where the files were installed. Is there any Windows command to display where the downloaded files will be stored? I am not asking for the path of downloaded files directly from the internet browsers, but asking for the path of downloaded files from windows command like pip.
pip show --files opencv_contrib_python

Got msvcr120.dll missing wamp error while installing wamp on windows 10 OS

I tried to setup wamp in my windows 64 bit operating system form the below link
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
While setting up it is alerting msvcr120.dll missing wamp error.
Can any one provide how could I fix this issue?
You are missing at least one of Microsofts MSVC C/C++ Runtime libraries required to run Apache/PHP or MySQL.
Look here on the WAMPServer backup repo Down at the bottom you will find a link called
All VC Redistribuable Packages (x86_x64) (32 & 64bits)
Download that ZIP file, it contains all the needed installs for all the needed MSVC Runtimes.
Unzip it, then run each MSVC Runtime version install One-at-a-Time in logical version number order, oldest first.
If you see a dialog saying that the version is installed click the REPAIR button to make sure its correctly installed.
As you are using a 64bit windows and a 64bit WAMPServer, you MUST install BOTH the 32bit AND 64bit MSVC Runtimes.
Once all these are installed, uninstall WAMPServer, manually delete the C:\wamp64 folder and then reinstall WAMPServer. This is required to be absolutely sure that the install works correctly, as without these MSVC Runtimes parts of the install can fail.
Small Note
The first dialog shown by the Install does actually tell you to make sure these runtime libraries are installed before continuing with the install.
During install u after 2 nd step focus on the 3rd step download all link software which start from c++ in it download all which is available and skip when u see error or file not found after all install done u should do further process and its done

Gimp crashes when trying to open EPS file on Windows 7

I am going insane on this.
I want to open an EPS file using Gimp 2.8.2 installed on a Windows 7 32-bit system (I think the PC itself is 64-bit but for some reason we have 32-bit Windows installed).
I first tried using the instructions on the Gimp site. Installed Ghostscript, created the path variable, all nothing doing. Totally useless Gimp message saying "Unable to open the file" (I knew that already).
Hunted all over the Internet and finally came across this Bugzilla report. Comment 48 suggested that I should just be able to install 2.8.14 with Postscript support and it should work out of the box.
So I uninstalled Gimp, checked the file had gone from the directory list, and installed the new version. Still can't open the EPS file, and it now crashes Gimp with a message just saying "Plugin crashed: "file-ps.exe".
Just to make sure the images are actually ok I went to my Ubuntu system and installed Gimp (2.8.10 this time), opened the eps file... and it works like a charm, no problem.
If anyone has a solution I would be deeply grateful

Solution
If you have not already, download and install Ghostscript 64-bit
Copy gsdll64.dll from your Ghostscript bin folder (Eg: C:\Program
Files\gs\gs9.07\bin) to the GIMP bin folder (Eg: C:\Program
Files\GIMP 2\bin)
In the GIMP bin folder first a) Rename the file
libgs-8.dll to libgs-8.old, and then b) Rename gsdll64.dll to
libgs-8.dll
Restart GIMP and opening EPS images should now work
It worked fine for me with GIMP 2.8.14 and gs9.16 on windows 7 64 bit with a fresh install of GIMP from the Gimp web site.

Delphi XE installation of Jedi JCL 2.6 on Win8 (x64)

So I have Delphi XE (no number) and I have a project that was built on another machine (using JVCL components). Now, my machine is a Windows 8.1 (64 bits), and the previous machine was Windows XP (32 bits).
Of course I want to be able to continue developing the app, but for that I need the JCL/JVCL to be installed here too.
Now comes my problem. When I run the installer (bat) of JCL, it starts ok, but it does not show any options, so when I click the Install button nothing happens, and I get a message saying the installation finished. But of course nothing is installed.
This is how the installer looks on my x64 machine:
What can I do to install this JCL on a win64 machine? I am very sure that this is the problem: the OS. Because on 32bit OS (Windows XP) I have no problem installing it.
I looked it up, but could not find a straightforward solution. There might be a problem with some registry where the installer looks for the location of Delphi ?!?! but I have no idea how to fix it.
I need to install the JVCL, but it wont install unless I have JCL installed first... and the JCL does not install
Please help me.
Thank you

RailsInstaller on Windows 7 64bit?

I tried to use the Rails Installer to get a ruby on rails environment on my Windows 7 64bit today and the .exe won't run because it's made for 32bit instead of 64bit.
Update When I try to start the installer, this message pops up:
Here is the translation:
This version of the file is not compatible with the running version of Windows.
Open the system information of the computer to check if a x86 (32bit) or x64
(64bit) version of this application is neccessary and contact the software vendor.
Is there a 64bit alternative for the installer?
64bits Windows can run 32bits applications, that is what WOW64 layer provides (Windows on Windows)
However, there are specific things you can't perform, like accessing OLE or using 64bits DLLs from 32bits applications or viceversa.
If the issue you're having is connect to a MySQL installation (something you're not mentioning) you should take a look to this blog article:

Hope that helps.
