I need to rent/buy a server service in which I can run windows 7 with the following purpose: to install 4 programs. I need to work with them regularly but I cant install these programs from my PC, I have to be on the cloud server.
So my question, because the FAQ of each services do not state it clearly, if I rent workspace with windows 7 can I install any program I want? Can I do this as installation is done on a regular PC with windows 7 ??
I already tested the 4 programs I need to use on my windows 7 machine locally and they work perfectly. I only need to be sure they can work in Amazon web service as well.
Thanks in advance.
AWS Workspaces does not actually run Windows 7, it runs Windows Server 2008 R2, with a Windows 7 theme. (see "What Operating System does a WorkSpace run?")
Due to Windows client licensing restrictions it is not possible to run an MS client OS in a cloud environment.
While Windows Server 2008 R2 should run anything that Win7 can, there are a few apps that don't allow themselves to be run on a server OS.
you can install softwares on your workspace, you are admin by default. But Workspace pricing is a monthly cost, so if you need only few usage of this machine you may want to consider using a windows ec2 instance instead

I have oracle container images in Oracle Container Registry in OCI cloud. The image can be from anywhere.
I need to execute/run those images in my local machine but my requirement is I cannot use Docker Desktop currently.
I see there are a few alternatives are there like podman, rocket where I can run these images in the local machine.
I need to know from the experts the best way to run the images in the local machine without the Docker Desktop.
Advance Thanks.
Docker containers run natively in Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10. These labs are based on the latest releases of Windows and Docker which provide the best experience for containerized Windows applications.
The minimum requirements are:
Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise, with Windows update 1809 or
Windows Server 2019
You can install a native Windows binary which allows you to develop and run Windows containers without Docker Desktop. For more information about running Windows containers on Windows Server in Getting Started with Windows Containers.
To answer this question it really depends on what sort of instances you're running within your tenancy to interact with Oracle Cloud Container Registry. (You mention Oracle Container Registry in your question but that's actually the Oracle publishing platform for Oracle container images, but I think you mean the registry as a service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure which is Oracle Cloud Container Registry.)
Most people that I know use Oracle Linux within OCI as it's the preferred OS for deploying instances. As such, my answer is based on that.
If you're using Oracle Linux 7, then the native docker that you would install on your instances would not be Docker Desktop, but instead a version of the docker ecosystem built for Oracle Linux systems. It's completely free to use (vs Docker Desktop).
If you're using Oracle Linux 8, then the native container client is podman which functions very much similarly to docker client, but some subtle differences.
In either case, you could choose to run other container runtimes, none of which would be Docker Desktop.
I need a virtual desktop to access chrome on the go via the Chrome Remote Desktop app on IOS.
The virtual desktop should be the usual GUI where I can open / install programs like a normal PC.
I know Windows is not free hence I am stuck with linux.
I created account and I know I need to create an instance.
What instance? How to get GUI? How to setup and access using Chrome Remote Desktop? Etc
Totally clueless.
What I Did:
1) I installed a Ubantu instance with a disk space of 30G.
2) I went into the shell and tried to run commands for installing a standard GUI.
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
3) Immediately received errors of missing dependencies.
I am a dot net developer.I am using azure students subscription. I am running a windows service app which compile cpp file, run and collect output and store in database. It uses mingw for compiling. the software hosted in a windows vm. But windows vm cost for student but container instance does'nt.Now I want to run windows server core on azure container and host the service app with remote desktop in windows server core . Is it possible? if possible what is the procedure?
Yes, now you can install Windows Server 2016 Datacenter - Server Core:

I just upgrade to win8.1 from win8 and I can't start wamp server (2.2 x64)
It was working fine on win8
Try checking that the Apache and MySQL services are still registered as services.
Look in Windows Services for services called - 'wampapache' and wampmysql'
Or if you have WAMPServer 64bit wampapache64 and wampmysqld64
If they dont exist do the following:-
wampmanager -> MySQL -> Service -> Install Service
wampmanager -> Apache -> Service -> Install Service
Then try to restart all services.
After Upgrading of window to window 8.1.
Please click on the wamp icon go to apache then services and then click on install services. And then go to mysql and services and click on install services and the restart your wamp. And enjoy your coding. Hurry
I've also gone through this situation. I checked the services and there "wampapche" and "wampmysqld" services are disable I've tried to start the services and the service didn't start stating a 1058 error. Then I changed the startup type from manual to automatic and now it's working.
all of your's answers are wrong, not only wampserver but also xampp is not working on windows 8.1 because apache server is not running in windows 8.1 with port 80, becouse port 80 is system reserved port.
#Ahmed that has been what described on the above posts. The simple answer is after upgrade we need to restart the services as they are stopped and yes it depends on the user whether they are going to keep it running or closed as they can choose whether to start manually or automatically.
Apparently Windows 8/8.1 are missing some essentials. The solution is to install Microsoft Essentials for Windows 8/8.1. This adds the .NET framework with all the necessary APIs that allow Wamp to function as designed. You can download Windows Essentials from herE: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-live/essentials . I have already tested this out on several devices, including my laptop and desktop running both Windows 8 and 8.1. Good luck! :)
Apologies if this has been asked already, searching the web reveals lots and lots of threads about installing the Win8 beta on VMware but not the other way around.
I am trying to install VMware Server 2.0.2 on a Windows 8 Preview machine. It appears to install correctly but I cannot then reach the web based homepage to configure virtual machines, i.e.
https://localhost:8333/ui/
gives the error that the "connection attempt to localhost was rejected. The website may be down or your network may not be properly configured".
Has anyone had any success running VMware Server 2.0.2 on Windows 8 Preview? If so were there any gotchas you needed to avoid?
I don't think it will ever be resolved. VMware Server was declared End Of Availability in January 2010; There will be no support for Windows 8.
Your best try would be trying launching the services in compatibility mode, but why would you do that? Why not use the much more advanced VMware Player or VMware Workstation products?
I've found a way to run it on Windows 8.
On my PC with a x64 version of Windows 8, when I installed VMware Server 2, I found there was a service called VMware Host Agent that cannot be run. When I opened the system Service Manager and clicked to launch this service, it gave me the error.
My solution is to create a service with the same command string and set it to start automatically by using the "sc create" command in cmd.exe. And it worked for me!
