Error “Couldn’t install programs” during installing Windows Live Writer

Wed, 24 Jun 2015 14:57:00 +0200

By downloading the latest version of WLW you normally get the online installer. It is a small program wlsetup-web.exe which downloads during setup the necessary components.

Unfortunately this setup raised on different machines the error “Couldn’t install programs”.

Installation experiences with NDepend under Win7/64 with restricted user permissions

Mon, 27 Dec 2010 19:10:00 +0100

Today Patrick from NDepend gave me a new license for his static code analysis tool NDepend for my fresh machine with Win7/64. This platform is new for me, so some things are different to Win XP. Maybe that till yet some of these things are not well enough understood from me. So I stepped in some traps.

Experiences with the new Add-In concept of ArcGIS 10

Namespaces of components in an Add-In

Casing of COM-Interop registered components

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 09:54:00 +0200

During a refactoring I realized that renaming of components, which will be registered for COM-Interop, must be done carefully.

In my case i changed the casing of XyzToolbar to XyzToolBar.

At the developing machine everything works fine. But after installing the modified stuff at the production machine, the toolbar was not visible. Using regasm with the new assemblies helped.

ClickOnce installation folder

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:17:00 +0100

During testing ClickOnce-Deployment i wondered that in my start-menu an “application reference” is created which has no link-reference to the application which is installed at the client.

Only references to the server which offers the application are listed. It seems there is some magic in the ClickOnce-client-engine of .NET-FW 2.0
