I have been having problems installing programs for a while, Usually getting an error that Visual Studio j# install is an unfinished install and it gives me an option to rollback that install before installing the program I am trying to install.
I am now trying to install Team Foundation Server 2012 Express and when I run the installer I get the following error.
Error : TF400293 : Windows is currently installing another package. Wait until Windows finishes the other installation, and then restart this setup program.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get rid of the failed installation once and for all so I can install other stuff without all these problems.
Im using windows 7 by the way.
Also I seem to be unable to fully complete a Windows Update. It seems like there is 1 update that will never install and my computer just hangs on the installing update screen. I left it for 4+ hours once and decided it would not complete so had to just turn off my computer.
You've got this error message when a setup failed but the MSIEXEC.exe is still running or when there's a restart pending blocking other installation.
For the first case: kill the MSIEXE.exe process.
For the second: Use regedit to look at this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations Clear out any value in the key and then try again.
This issue is not TFS related, by the way.

On a machine running a just installed Ubuntu 20.04.5 OS,
I'm trying to install some packages, specifically the ROS framework.
The process fails in step 1.4 of such (taken from the ROS install guide):
enter image description here
after running the sudo apt install ros-noetic-desktop-full I get the following output:
ros-noetic-desktop-full : Depends: ros-noetic-desktop but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ros-noetic-perception but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ros-noetic-simulators but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ros-noetic-urdf-sim-tutorial but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I should say that the first time I did this, I set the package server for software download to 'main server' instead of the regional server automatically assigned and set the update request to 'Never', and got the message
error while refreshing cache ubuntu pk-client-error-quark
I have tried fixing the broken dependencies with the apt commands, I've google the problem and the terminal output but haven't been able to solve the problem.
I ran into this problem in two different machines, and when tried to replicate in a VM with 'Boxes' inside my dev-machine I didn't face the same issue.
I should also add that I am not a Linux expert by any means, and that I might have done or do something that's beyond me yet. However, any suggestions/explanations are highly welcomed.
best regards
I am trying to run automated tests in Jenkins. The tests had been running well for a long time. But now, when selenium server starts the tests, Jenkins stalls and outputs the following error messages:
[09:18:55] E/launcher - Unable to parse new session response:
[09:18:55] E/launcher - WebDriverError: Unable to parse new session
response:
at doSend.then.response..."
The tests run successfully when I run them manually at the command prompt using the same commands. I am not sure what could be the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Solution 1:
You may be using old version of chrome with a newer Selenium WebDriver version. You may want to update your chrome to the latest version.
Solution 2:
Multiple versions of Chrome may have been installed. Purge and install a stable package. Do something like:
sudo apt-get purge chrome
sudo apt-get install chrome-stable
Solution 3:
Reinstall your JDK. This is a sure fire way to revive sleeping Jenkins.
I have newly configured Jenkins, after setting up the proxy it asks to install plugins, i selected few plugins and after proceeding to install them some of them failed and the install bar completes for other plugins but the page hangs forever and i am not able to proceed further.
Please suggest !
restart jenkins using "http://localhost:8080/safeRestart"
It worked for me.
There's a bug report that pretty well fits to the description of your problem: Jenkins- Getting stuck on install initial plugin page. That bug should have been fixed in June (and Jenkins 2.6).
I had the same problem with Jenkis 2.7.3, though. To get the install running, I first removed the installation and started it again. Then I deselected the plugins which have caused the errors and could successfully finish the "getting started" process.
Once you have Jenkins running in normal mode you should be able to install the skipped plugins (didn't try that, though; don't need them).
A simple Page refresh did NOT help me.
I just restarted webapp service, TOMCAT in my case and then a page refresh allowed me to skip and continue to proceed further.
Try this it may help you.
go to this link - http://localhost:8080/safeRestart
go to the Dashboard -> Manage Plugins -> Available tab
Select all plugins and start installing
Jenkins will work after reboot
I had the same bug with Jenkins 2.19.3 on Windows. Resolved by reinstalling Jenkins with full Jenkins directory removal.
Okay let me share my success case of this stupid error.
I was using google chrome and i tried everything, uninstall jenkins complete from the face of my HDD, and reinstalling but non work.
Then i took petty on IE (or on myself for that matter) and i ran the jenkins (localhost:8080) on IE and voila! everything works perfectly.
Hope this help anybody.
well, I am running Jenkins on my remote machine after all the configuration and installing the required plugins the web client dint respond I tried to start it but with no gain.
After digging deeper all I had to do was to restart the Jenkins service and it picks up from where it left.
The reason might be during the installation of the plugins the server is stopped and the additional files are added so during the downtime the Jenkins becomes unresponsive.
hopes this helps.
sudo service restart jenkins
Then go back to refresh the browser.
I faced similar issue and did :
$ systemctl restart jenkins
and re-resumed and later continued and installation completed.
post that setup the first admin user and proceeding next.
Trying "Jenkins 2.277.4" at my local dev box
My question, is there a way to configure the InstallShield setup and deployment project so that when I attempt to install the service it will uninstall the previously installed version of the service.
I've created a Windows Service and an InstallShield setup and deployment project to be able to install it onto my machine. The process of installing and uninstalling the service all works fine. When I go to update the service, at the moment, I need to stop the service, uninstall the service manually, and then run the installer. What I am trying to get to is a point where I can run the installer and it will uninstall the previous version of the service before installing the current version.
I have seen this process of running the install and having the previous versions uninstalled work. Through creating a test project using a windows form application. I was able to install the application. Then I: incremented the product version, created a new product code, added a new upgrade entry in the upgrade path area, and configured that upgrade entry setting the min and max version. After doing this, I rebuilt the setup project and ran the installer and the upgrade from version A to version B was complete.
The only difference I believe from the original test project (where I saw the process work) and my Windows Service project is that my test project was a Windows Forms application versus a Windows Service. In all the research I have been doing I have seen people ask similar questions, but I have not seen any real suggestions on what actions to take. So if anyone knows if this is possible or has any suggestions that I could try to accomplish this task they would be greatly appreciated.
I was able to resolve this issue, so it is possible. The setting I mentioned above are the correct settings needed to allow the service to update. This was just a case of human error that was causing my problems.
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.
