Installing CCR and DSS Runtime fails - Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 4 - ccr

I want to install the Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio 4 and downloaded it directly from microsoft.com. When I run the .exe file a window pops up with the requirements that will be installed before installing the RDS:
MS CCR and DSS Runtime
NVIDIA Physx System Software
When I hit the Install Button the status of CCR/DSS Runtime switches from Pending to Installing and after 10 seceonds of loading or something an error message appears:
"The files for installation requirement Microsoft CCR and DSS Runtime could not be found. The installation will now stop. This is probably due to a failed, or canceled download"
I'm quite sure that the file is not broken (multiple times downloaded, filessize matches) and I fullfill all software requirements listed here: http://www.microsoft.com/robotics/#GetStartedStep2

I did a bit of digging an found this thread under Social/MSDN:
Essentially:
Make sure .NET 3.5 sp1 is installed (.NET 4 won't do, it needs 3.5 sp1)
There are some reports of issues when installing in a path that contains non-english characters
There was one report saying that the person had to format/reinstal windows and then it worked fine
I know that this answer is incomplete at best but I'm hoping that it is a simple case of installing 3.5sp1.

RAD Studio 10.4.2 Community Edition cannot make a new delphi project

Submenu File -> New contains only "Other..." and "Customize" items.
How to correct this?
My OS is Windows 10.0.17763.107.
Old version is 10.2 with same problem.
Installed new version 10.4.2, in process of installation of Delphi Community, I have error at Roboto Font downloading:
[403] Forbidden
I pinged this address of Getit found in the registry: https://getit-104.embarcadero.com
It is not responding! Ok, changing to getit.embarcadero.com, the result is negative.
It seems that your Delphi installation hasn't finished properly. Either it was interrupted or Licence manager didn't manage to verify your Community licence properly.
You could try fixing your licence using Licence Manager that you can find inside Delphi folder. If my memory serves me correctly it is located withing BIN subfolder (don't have access to development machine at the moment to verify).
But if the installation proces itself is getting interrupted you might want to download ISO installation instead of Online installation. When installing latest version of Delphi I had to use ISO installation since Web installation kept loosing connection. I suspect my AV Software (ESET Internet Security) with integrated firewall might be the cause.

Umbraco: Could not load type 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication'

I've downloaded Umbraco, connected to a database and installed a sample site but when I try to run in Visual Studio, I get this error:
Could not load type 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication'.
Any ideas?
I usually follow this guide to get Umbraco up and running with Visual Studio: Setting up Umbraco 7 in Visual Studio 2013 for MVC 4 development
You are possibly missing a reference. Also - I found this happens in my version 7.2.4 too.
Check that the install completes - especially if you installed with NuGet. Sometimes powershell doesn't work and the installation is not completed. Look for yellow text during installation. If this fails, try an older version.

Initial mono for android installation quits after first screen with no error message

I downloaded the trial version for Mono for android and tried to install on Windows 7. After the first confirmation page the installer quits with no error message.
I've searched for the net and found nothing. I tried to unblock the file and move it to the desktop and click the box to run with administrator priviledges. I've also tried to download and run and dowload and save.
I'm in China, don't know if the great firewall could effect this???
With no error message I'm lost on how to proceed.
Sometimes this can be caused by network connectivity issues or proxies. You can try to install the components manually:
JDK 1.6: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u31-download-1501634.html
Please choose the jdk-6u31-windows-i586.exe installer from the list above.
Android SDK: http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r21-windows.exe
After the main installer is done, please open the SDK Manager and install the following platform APIs: 7,8,10,12,14
GTK#: http://download.xamarin.com/Installer/gtk-sharp-2.12.10.win32.msi
MonoDevelop: http://download.xamarin.com/monodevelop/Windows/MonoDevelop-3.0.5.msi
Mono for Android SDK: http://download.xamarin.com/MonoforAndroid/Windows/mono-android-4.2.7.15330979.msi
You can skip steps 3 and 4 if you don't need/want to use MonoDevelop and use VisualStudio (2010 Professional or better) instead. In that case you must have VS installed before proceeding with step 5.

ASP.MVC Beta Install Problems

I've just downloaded the ASP.MVC MSI package, but the installation fails with the "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." message.
I see that other people too have the same problem (http://forums.asp.net/p/1336453/2699267.aspx). Anybody else?
I'm running VS 2008 Professional edition with SP1 on Vista.
Some additional info: entries like Error in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\Workflow\1033\StateMachineWorkflowLibrary.zip), file (StateMachineWorkflowLibrary.vstemplate). Unregistered ProjectType (VisualBasic). This can be caused by an incorrect ProjectType or because the project type package is not installed. appear in the event log.
BTW I don't have VisualBasic installed. I'm thinking about reinstalling VisualStudio ... :|
I removed all the bad templates and this didn't resolve the issue for me. I found that removing other Add-Ins I had installed let me install Beta 1. In my case the bad add-in preventing the install was Clone Detective.
I had this exact error message from a completely different MSI package - the DevExpress toolkit - turned out to be caused by one of the "defensive" packages installed on my machine.
Check your anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-intrusion, firewall, anti-xxx etc etc packages to see if any of them might be stopping scripts from running properly.
Hope this helps.
The installer is trying to add templates to the VB package without checking to see if it exists first (ScottGuuuuuuu!).
If the rest of MVC is installed and working, forget about it. If not, you don't have to reinstall VS. A quick fix is to simply install Visual Basic (e.g, modify your installation rather than reinstall it).
Okey, like Simon said, Clone Detective addin was the troublemaker which prevented the installation of ASP MVC. I deinstalled Clone Detective and now MVC has installed without problems. Thanks guys!

How to fix a corrupt Delphi 2009 Install

I installed both the Delphi 2009 trial and actual release via the web installer when I received them and experienced the same errors when installing both.
Both times it appears that the core web installer failed when it went to spawn the additional install packages for boost, documentation and dbtools. (It brought up a findfile dialog asking for a setup.msi that didn't exist on my machine). When cancelling out of this, the installer reported a fatal error.
The uninstaller did not appear in my program list, and would did not launch from the installation folder.
Future attempts to bring up the installer had it in a state where it thought Delphi 2009 was already installed and it wouldn't correct or repair or uninstall it.
Step 1
Clean out the registry of all things Delphi 2009.
You're looking for HKLM\Software\Codegear\BDS\6.0 and everything under it. Purge the HKCU equivalent while you're at it.
Search under HKEY.CLASSES.ROOT for anything that contains "CodeGear\RAD Studio\6.0" - assuming you installed into the default folder. Purge all those items from the CLSID level.
Step 2
Clean up Windows Installer using the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup utility.
Step 3
I suggest a reboot at this stage.
Step 4
Try to install again.
Good Luck!
The problems seem to originate with the web installer not having all the files needed.
Download the 2009 ISO: http://cc.codegear.com/item/26049
Mounted it using this free tool from Microsoft: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe (You can burn it to a DVD too)
Then reran the installer. At this point, both the repair and uninstall worked.
