Why KB2538242 etc. must require the old files vcredist.msi (to uninstall the old stuff)?

First of all, some "background story":
The old facilities must be uninstalled with their files vcredist.msi of origin before the end of the new facility. Is he missing the old files, .msi, Microsoft Update still believes that the update is successful, which in fact is unfinished, but simply "cancelled successfully. This is the real cause of constantly repeated same updates KB2538242 etc., appear. I had this problem and manually downloaded several vcredist package old version and uninstalled those corresponding to my system, but there is still the KB2467175 one which the download link was dead. In the end, I can't yet to complete installation of the update.

Now the questions: why updates must rely on old packages in installation? Why can they not do the job on their own? (That is anyway to work around this problem and more) a reinstallation of the system, or b) hide this update?

Try this if you are using Win XP.  Install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x 86) http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3387.  Then run the run the KB2538242 update.

I found all the other 'remedies' MS and others do not work.  The problem is the original distribution is damaged or missing and needs to be reinstalled before the update will take.  At least, that was my problem and how to solve it.

  • Why key tunnel must be same in DMVPN

    Hello world

    need to understand why key tunnel must be the same between all routers in the DMVPN?

    Thank you

    MAhesh

    Key to tunnel, is how a demultiplexing several GRE tunnels.

    Quoting RFC:

       The Key field contains a four octet number which was inserted by the    encapsulator. The actual method by which this Key is obtained is    beyond the scope of the document. The Key field is intended to be    used for identifying an individual traffic flow within a tunnel. For    example, packets may need to be routed based on context information    not present in the encapsulated data.  The Key field provides this    context and defines a logical traffic flow between encapsulator and    decapsulator.  Packets belonging to a traffic flow are encapsulated    using the same Key value and the decapsulating tunnel endpoint    identifies packets belonging to a traffic flow based on the Key Field    value.

  • I just downloaded the latest version of firefox, and apparently it was supposed to replace my old version, why can I still access the old version of my icon in the dock.

    I'm using mac os x version 10.7.4 and I try to update Firefox 3.5.5 version to the latest version. The Firefox icon in my doc still persists and leads me to the old version of Firefox. If it's supposed to happen?

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "Hide extensions of known file types" should be active?

    original title: a Question about the names of file/folder options

    I have a generic question that apply for all recent versions of Windows.

    Why MS never decided that the default folder options / "hide known file extensions.

    If file extensions invisible brings no end of confusion to anyone trying to resolve anything.

    The first thing I advise in various forums troubleshooting

    Let them invisible by default?  It seems a strange decision - and cause no end of

For more information, see link to BlackBerry help or click on the following link. "when I click on 'my data '.

    The transfer of data from a backup to Protect legacy differs from doing backup/restore. It's something special that they have created, only in the case of transfer of a device in a device BB10. I don't have my camera in front of me now, but I thought that the text says explicitly restore is available for a device BB10 from a legacy backup only. In any case, you can stop the search because non-existent capacity with BB10.

    I want to know what are my options to ensure that my stuff is backed up. I do not run a windows computer, and the link does not currently work on the WINE. I can do Windows XP in a virtual machine if it is my only choice of backup.

    You are in a difficult situation. To use the LINK, I think that you must either MAC or WIN7 +, which of course the EoL WinXP. So with your configuration, the LINK is out.

    I would recommend that you look rather something like ultimate backup... it can back up on your SD card and even several cloud services (I test currently it backup on MS OneDrive... it back up, but I still actually have to try a restore). If you are using the best practices of non local contacts/calendar (for example, you have a service such as Google OTA our Outlook.com integrated like CalDav/Mac OS x Server or EAS), then your device isn't actually the 'master' of these data in any case... the OTA service is the 'master. Which means that after any event that results in a need to reconfigure or restore, you are in fact not restoring contacts or calendar and rather than the data can repopulate the device from the server of the OTA.

    I actually can't remember the last time that I actually did a backup LINK. I use online services for my contacts and calendar, so those who do not need support upward (or doing E-mail because by definition it's OTA). I regularly copy manually (via the USB Drive mode) the content of my camera and memory card support and also to keep a good document of all my accounts, credentials, added apps, home screen configurations (I take screenshots and save those) and other configuration items that I change from their default values. So when I do a refill of BONE, TISSUE or other activity, I do even not all restoration... instead I use this document to reconfigure everything and just re - copy, return to the equipment, these items in memory of the device (I keep very little anyway). I don't remember the last time I've actually run a true restoration based on the BINDING.

  • Cannot save preferences/workspaces etc., in CC2014, the PS said the file is locked. It is not.

    The actual error messages I get are:

    "Cannot save preferences because the file is locked, you don't have the necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the "Get Info" command in the Finder to make sure that the file is unlocked and you are allowed to access the file.

    It's the same thing when I moved to CS6 CC, no one here knew the answer, but the Photoshop online help guy told me to move the two files on my desktop, this corrects the problem, but I cannot find these files in CC2014 they were: The Adobe Photoshop CC settings folder and file: com.adobe.Photoshop.plist (I think they are still on my desktop but it's also a lot of other things)

    Did anyone here know how to solve this problem or where to find these files? I know how to get to the hidden stuff, but can not see them. I love the look of the new features and can't wait to try them, but wile, I can't save my settings that I hafta stay with the 'old' CC.

    PS: I get this message when I left Photoshop and also when I try to synchronize or save the settings, thanks in advance guys.

    Excuse me, I found the recalcitrant files & moving them to my office actually avoided the new day. In case someone else has a similar problem the files in question are located in: / users/yourname/Library/Preferences / (you must hold down the option/alt key to see the library folder), and they have the file "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings" & file "com.adobe.Photoshop.plist"

  • How to display /etc/resolv.conf and other files from the remote host to the vMA host ESX4i

    Hi all;

    I'm new at VMAs, I put it in place and adds 5 Server esxi 4 and I can list the fines using vifp lists broadcast and works, very well but my problem is I want to interrogate the remote servers for this vMA host for example I need to check the contents of these files

    cat /etc/resolv.conf

    cat/etc/sysconfig/clock

    tail/var/log/vmkernel

    Discovered the following

    esxcfg-firewall - q and esxcfg-vswif - l

    Can someone please help me on how to run these commands or another way on how to get this information above hosts and ESXi 4. I checked the forum, but I don't see anything similair nature! now, either I'm stupid full because it's as simple as drinking water and so no one asked or I am just lucky to ask the right question, so be it, I appreciate your time and effort

    Thanks in advance

    Esxlinux

    So its worth your time through the vMA documentation to understand how to manage your hosts and it's main use case. The operations that you are trying to accomplish cannot be done using vMA... at least in the way that you are hoping for.

    See my vMA article and some of the getting started guides.

    cat /etc/resolv.conf

    You will want to use esxcfg-dns to list the configured DNS servers

    cat/etc/sysconfig/clock

    This file does not yet exist on ESXi, if you try to set the time on ESXi host, you should use NTP and it is also important to note that single ESXi uses UTC and no other options are available.

    tail/var/log/vmkernel

    If you need to display the host logs, consider using vi logger on vMA OR configure syslog on your host to send to the centralized syslog server

    Regarding the last two commands, they do not apply to an ESXi host and therefore these commands are not available.

    There are certainly differences between ESX and ESXi, understand the differences and orders to ask for certain pieces of information is very important. vMA can help with this, but you must understand the use case of vMA and what tools are at your disposal. The best way to start is to take a look at the documentation, to jump it and try to jump in, will just be confusing.

    Good luck
