I want to uninstall WAMP from Windows 7, but it does not appear in the Programs and Features list. Can I simply delete the files, or is there something else I also need to do?
If you look in the \wamp\ folder you should see a file called unins000.exe
Run that file and then manually delete the \wamp folder.

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 Last time I looked it contained several outdated dlls and executables from the original gnugettext project that did not work correctly under recent Windows versions.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.

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.

Trying to install D6 in a W7/32 machine I run into issues:
- Error message on start when D6 tries to rename file in C:\Program Files.
That particular folder does not exist, and cannot be created,
due to a conflict with C:\Program.
I therefore attempted an install in the manually created C:\DELPHI6.
That seems to work.
Is this a good and correct way to install, or should I do it differently?
try create folder and chose directory to like draw this :
or try open setting option folder chose show hidden files
I know this has been asked many times before. But I am getting a:
The mbstring extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.
First off I am using WanmpServer3.0.0 64 on a Win7 64 VM.
-I tried editing the php.ini file to give an absolute path to no avail
-made sure that the extension=phpmbstring.dll is uncommented
Another problem is that i noticed that whenever i load a php page it has fatal errors for my mysql commands.
When I use the wampmanager from the tray to open the php.ini file instead of through windows explorer I get:
Cannot find the C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.17\bin\php.ini file. Do you want to create a new file?
So now I'm thinking something has gone drastically wrong and would like to uninstall/reinstall Wamp. I attempt to use the mysql console to save my databases before deleting the wamp directory. However when I run a mysqldump -all-databases > all_database.sql it just drops down to an empty line and nothing happens.
mysql console screenshot
If I browse around in the C:\wamp64 directory i find the "data" directory within \bin\mysql where it seems all of my databases reside but not in readable form.
Is there anyway to save my databases??
BTW: This whole setup was working fine previously, so I'm not sure what caused the crash and burn.
Was able to figure it out.
I opened the php.ini file from the PHP bin folder and copied all of the contents into a new php.ini file to reside in the apache bin file.
Now everything works again.
I'm not sure this is how wampserver is supposed to work or what changed to start the problem but it's pseudo-resolved now.
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.
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!
