Detect Silverlight OOB install from Windows - silverlight-5.0

Is there a way to pragmatically detect that a Silverlight OOB application is installed on a computer from windows? (IE not the browser). Possibly a registry path, or file path that can be checked? I've got another application (nonSilverlight) that needs to open up a silverlight OOB application if it is installed or take them to the web page to install it if it is not installed. The operating system will always be winXP or win7.

I'm working on a Silverlight OOB app, and have it installed locally.
I looked at the shortcut on the desktop, and went spelunking in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\348253213.demo.net]
"DisplayName"="DemoApp" "Comments"="DemoApp on your desktop; at home,
at work or on the go." "Publisher"="demo.net"
"InstallLocation"="C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Silverlight\OutOfBrowser\348253213.demo.net"
"NoRepair"=dword:00000001 "NoModify"=dword:00000001
"UninstallString"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Silverlight\5.1.20125.0\Silverlight.Configuration.exe -uninstallApp
348253213.demo.net"
No idea how the '348253213' got cooked up, but maybe this will give you some clues for ferreting out an installed SL app...

Windows server 2012 r2 core interface disable

I successfully installed windows server 2012 R2 .After setting admin password,and login,I am getting command window instead of GUI.
Can anyone please help me come out of this issue.I tried several methods but still in midst of problem.
Waiting for reply..
It seems like you did infact install Windows core version. Make a new installation and select Windows server (with GUI) from the menu. If youre not prompted this during installation, then it is most likely not the correct install media.

Do Monaca Build Windows Apps Work on WIndows 10?

I built an app in Monaca, and have successfully deployed and published it on google play and the App Store. I know I have to sign it with visual studio to publish it in the windows store, but can manually install it using powershell for development purposes. However, even though it works on android and ios, it crashes immediately after launching in Windows 10. I read over the documentation, and my question is: Is it even compatible? Everything in the documentation is either outdated or stictly for windows 8.
Yes they are compatible. I finally installed and ran it successfully.

CFX_ImageCR3 | Unable to Load Library on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-Bit running ColdFusion 10 64 Bit

We are attempting to migrate our old web server to a new web server. We are trying to install Effalre's CFX_ImageCR3 tag on our Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit server running ColdFusion 10 64-Bit.
We've installed the latest setup file from Efflare's website and have registered the CFX C++ Tag in the ColdFusion administrator just as the documentation describes, but when the code that uses the CFX_ImageCR3 tag executes, it says "Unable to load library."
After searching Google, one person recommended we run Dependency Walker to see what DLL's were missing. On the new server, it says the following 'delay-load dependency module was not found'
- GPSVC.DLL
- IESHIMS.DLL
- MF.DLL
- MFPLAT.DLL
- MFREADWRITE.DLL
- WLANAPI.DLL
For comparison, I ran the same program on the old server on which that CFX tag is working. It reported that GPSVC.DLL and IESHIMS.DLL could not load, but the other ones could.
Both of the servers are running the same Operation Systems and the only difference is Cold Fusion 10. Is it possible that I'm just missing some DLLs on the new server? Could it be that it is not compatible with ColdFusion 10 64-Bit? Can you load 32-bit DLL CFX C++ tags on a 64-bit install of CF?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Solution found. It appears that the C++ CFX tax is 32 bit and is compatible with ColdFusion 64-bit version. Effalre currently has a beta installer on their VIP download site, cfx_imagecr_3_service_beta_081030.exe, which is the Java tag.
This was a bit tricky to figure out at first, but once you install the beta make sure you follow these steps:
Install the beta installer to C:\efflare\ (Do not install to C:\Program Files (x86)!)
Start the windows service 'Efflare ImageCR 3 Service'
Open the CF Administrator then goto Java and JVM, in the ColdFusion Class Path add: {applicatino.home}/wwwroot/WEB-INF/lib,C:/Efflare/imagecr3.jar
Restart ColdFusion
NOTE: The class path if for the default ColdFusion 10 install. The first path must point to the directory where you have a cfx.jar file. If you get the error -java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Exception com/allaire/cfx/CustomTag it is because the class path is not pointing to where the cfx.jar file is located at.

no metro style templates in VS2012 ultimate on windows 8

I have a VM with windows 8 x64 bit and I installed VS2012 ultimate from microsoft webiste. It prompted me for the developer license - I clicked ok. It asked me to signin to microsoft account. I created one and signed it and it worked. but when I try to create new project, I didnt see any metro style app templates.
I tried uninstall and install again but no progress.

when I downloaded http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=247147 it went close, I saw the metro style folder in templates but the installation threw error at the end - iis8 install error and vs did not open either.
What was previously referred to as a "metro" template, is now the "Windows Store App" template.

How to create a MFC Application to run setup.exe(msi installer)?

I have java application (.jar files) and created a batch file to execute the application.
Also, I created a Setup project using Visual Studio 2005 (Setup.exe, .msi).
However, it requires JRE to run. I have downloaded the jre installer (exe file) then would like to bundle it by creating a simple MFC application that calls the two installer (jre installer & Setup.exe).
Here's the list of MFC application functionality that want to create:
1) Upon execution (double click) of the MFC application, want to check if the JRE & my Java application are already installed.
2) If the JRE was found installed, get the installation path, display it to MFC's textbox then disable the textbox and JRE install button. Same with my Java application if found installed.
3) Upon clicking the install button (either JRE or my application), would like to execute the installer.
Any guidance on the right direction is appreciated.
EDIT: target OS Windows XP up
Why not use a JRE prerequisite for your installer? Perhaps this will help: Adding Custom prerequsites to visual studio setup project
This way you don't need an application which launches installers.
