I was trying to set up a Sitecore dev instance and I accidentally installed to the wrong path. It seemed like the easiest way to fix this was to delete the IIS instance, and remove the Sitecore DB's.
Unfortunately, I am now getting an error when I try to uninstall ("An error caused the Sitecore Installation Wizard to end prematurely"), and a "not a unique name" error when I try to install a new instance. What do I need to do to allow me to use the same instance name again?
So, #OptimizedQuery got me most of the way, until the Windows uninstaller stopped working. I then went into the registry and found the relevant entries here [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sitecore CMS].
So, here is a list of steps.
Try the Sitecore installer and choose to remove the offending instance.
If that fails, manually remove it from IIS and delete the databases before using the uninstaller in the Programs and Features application.
If that fails, use regedit and delete the relevant children of [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sitecore CMS]. Be sure to delete only the one with the matching InstanceName key.
Try uninstalling that Sitecore instance via the Windows Programs and Features dialog within the Control Panel.
#cwallenpoole the path is wrong. Sitecore is installed in a different location like the followings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sitecore CMS]
So the steps look like the following to uninstall:
try to uninstall by using sitecore installer and choose the instance to uninstall
try to remove form Control Panel > Programs and Features and then choose the instance to remove or uninstall
if the above steps are failed, then go to the regristry and choose the path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Sitecore CMS] and then choose the instance to uninstall
Hope, it will work for most cases. if you find any more steps, please add those :) happy uninstalling!

I'm trying to open my newly installed Postman when an error occurs which says something like this:
**Could not open Postman**
Error: Migration: IndexedDB schema migration failed. IndexedDb was not upgraded succesfully after `dexie.open`.
Please try restarting the app. If the issue persists, please refer to http://go.pstmn.io/troubleshoot-could-not-open
As it says, the error really persists. The website above only provides suggestions like "reinstall the app" "upgrade the app", which are not really helpful. And as I dig into the Internet, it occurs to me that such error hardly happens (found nobody have the same question like me).
"IndexedDb" was mentioned in the error message, and I just know (from the Internet) that it's a nosql database provided by explorer. Maybe the problem can be solved by reinstalling the database, I guess?
I had a similar problem and found this description: https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/4897
Short answer is, delete the Postman configs directory at ~/.config/Postman (for Linux) and then try running again. This will delete any saved Postman data you have, but for a newly-installed instance that's not an issue.
Go to installation folder of Postman:
C:\Users\Davoud\AppData\Local\Postman
delete the older version's folder. It fixed my problem. Actually I also deleted update.exe too.
Can you try just by deleting the “Postman” folder or renaming it to “Postman.old” from below two locations and then reinstall the latest version from here and see if that helps?
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local and C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming
I tried it as I was facing the same issue and, it solved for me.
Use this: It worked for me.
pkill -fi Postman
For Windows 10 - in my case, I have to:
Open Task Manager and kill/end the Postman application.
Go to %appdata% and search the "Postman" folder.
Inside "Postman" folder, select the "Postman_Config" folder1. Delete it.
Try to open your Postman instance again.
1 The "Postman_Config" folder contained (in my case) another folder called "0" and inside this folder, an "userconfigs.json" file - which only contained these characters:
{}
If you have additional information,please, make a copy of these files in order to have a backup - if needed.
For Windows -
Kill the process that says, postman from the task manager
Run the installer again, it resolved the issue for me.
disable hardware acceleration in the Postman menu in macOS, or the Help menu in Windows or Linux.
I had a similar problem installing Postman when I was on a VPN (on Windows). It started up but then got a popup error saying "TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined," and a blank white screen afterwards. So I uninstalled it, deleted any Postman folders, turned off the VPN, and re-installed it with no problems! After it installed successfully, I was able to turn on my VPN and had no further issues.
For reference, I had these errors in my C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Postman\logs\renderer-requester.log file

Recently I restarted my AWS instance and got a new IP address but after I restarted both Jenkins and AWS, the information about my previous jobs was no longer shown in Jenkins.
I checked the path and it still exists in the instance but it is not shown on the web. I tried to create another project and it still created in the same path just that only the newly created project is in. Any suggestions on how to recover my missing projects??
FYI
I have lots of old plugins that mentions "xxx failed to load" so I do not know if that is causing it.
one of my plugins does not match and all those that depends on it will fail to show on the installed section of the plugin. Thus I remove all the plugins by deleting it directly from the plugin folder and check for the working copy that was on my previous version and download the same version of plugins. After which, all the jobs come back on screen
I have the following problem: I have a Laptop with two different user accounts (UserA & UserB / they belong to the same person but have different priveleges).
UserA: can build the solution and run tests locally (Everything is working as expected)
UserB: Has the rights to publish to the specific network drive, however he cannot build the project. The reason is that the Windows user itself has not the correct proxy settings configured, and thats why the nuget packages cannot be downloaded.
I have no possibility to change the proxy settings for UserB right now (It depends on internal processes, which might take a while)
However I would have expected, that when I build the solution with UserA, UserB would not need to build it again and just can publish it. This, does not work, as soon as I want to publish, VS tries to rebuild the solution and this does not work because some dependencies are missing and cannot be loaded.
Is there any solution for this problem? I tried to make a research, however I was not really sure for the correct keywords to search for.
Edit: I have now the domain added to my UserB, but I still have some other problems. However I found out that this article is heavily related to my issue: Unable to launch Visual Studio 2015 as a different user.
When I start Visual Studio via Command Line with the mentioned arguments, more works, however I am now not able any longer to connect to my database using Integrated Security = true in the connection string. But at least I can build now. Deploying also works but I just get a 500 Server error when I try to connect to the resource.
Edit2: I needed to add the domain to my user when opening Visual Studio with the command mentioned in the link above. This fixed my problem with connecting to the database.
Actually I do not need an answer anymore for my initial question but I will not delete it because maybe someone has an answer for a person who will have the same question later on.
I am getting below error while logging in with VMware vSphere Client 5.5
"The type initializer for 'VirtualInfrastructure.Utils.ClientsXml' threw an exception."
Just recently had this. Try to right click the shortcut and "run as administrator". This worked for me.
To avoid having to do this all the time. Set the shortcut to "Run as administrator". Even if a user launches it. I should still start without prompting for an administrator ID.
I got the same problem this morning, don't know what's causing the issue. Vsphere client was working fine last week, only changes was backup by Veeam during the weekend.
My solution is open the website of your ESXi server, click the "Download Vsphere client" link to download the latest version 5.5 client and upgrade the existing client.
Check your disk space and/or file permissions of your temporary directory.
VMWare may be unable to create necessary files in your %temp% directory which 'will' cause the exact error your experiencing.
I had this problem recently, it happened because I had updated the user's TEMP file location in Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings so TEMP files were stored on e: drive, but the temp folder path on the e: drive did not exist. Creating the correct folder structure on e drive fixed the problem
Yes you need to Run as Administrator, This is due to a Permissions access problem by simply double clicking it, even in an Administrative level profile.
I'm trying to install some packages on Sitecore 6.2 solution. I'm receiving a strange packager error:
“Package generation failed: Root element is missing" . I checked logs and nothing appear.
Sitecore’s packager wasn't able to generate a package.
It appears that in the process of generating the zip, it needs to access the temp folder during the creating process.
I meet this error few times and it doesn't work allways to give access just for AppPoolIdentity.If it's not working give access for role Everyone.
Here you find a nice article about this error .
I think a probable reason for this failure could be that you created package of an item or a number of items, but its template might be missing.
Alternatively, please check that your AppPoolIdentity, (ideally Network Service, to check AppPoolIdentity Name, goto IIS Manager, Application Pools and select the AppPool of your website, and in Action Pane on right side, say Advanced Settings, you will be able to see the Name of Process Model -> Identity) has read-write rights on C:\Windows\Temp directory.
Do let me know after trying the above two things on your solution
Hope this helps!
