Multiple Applications in PATH variable - mysql

I am working through a Rails tutorial that requires creating a database in MySQL. From the command prompt, I am unable to access both Rails and MySQL within the same session. I'm having to complete steps in one program, then change the path, restart the computer, and continue in the other application.
I've found a solution that worked for others at:
Fixing 'PATH' in Environment Variables in Windows 7 for multiple applications
This has led me to try this path:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin; C:\Ruby23-x64\bin; C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin
For some reason, it's not working for me. My laptop seems only to recognize the first application mentioned in my PATH variable. If I put the MySQL part first, then Command Prompt doesn't recognize Rails, and vice-versa.
Thank you in advance for your help.

You cant have spaces between each path like:
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin; C:\Ruby23-x64\bin; C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin
remove spaces
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin;C:\Ruby23-x64\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin

Unable to build SSIS package from command line: Missing switch argument. Configuration name required for /build switch

I am trying to script out the building of an SSIS solution in VS 2013.
I keep getting the error: Missing switch argument. Configuration name required for /build switch.
My Command is this from PowerShell:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE> .\devenv.exe C:\Dev\SSIS\RCLShippedFileProcess\RCLShippedFileProcess.sln /build /project RCLShippedFile /projectconfig "Debug"
When I build within Visual Studio, I can see that my ProjectName and the Config are what I am passing in. This certainly has me stumped!
Documentation about this is here.
I ended up resolving the issue, I needed to call the devenv.com application, which is ultimately what devenv.exe calls. If you call devenv.com directly it worked.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE> .\devenv.exe C:\Dev\SSIS\RCLShippedFileProcess\RCLShippedFileProcess.sln /build "Debug"

Windows Phone Emulator is unable to create a differencing disk

I am getting this error while deploying or debugging windows phone 8.1 app.
Windows Phone Emulator is unable to create a differencing disk: A
virtual disk support provider for the specified file was not found.
That error means that *.vhd files must not be encrypted and must not be compressed.
Then you have to uncompress the folder that containt *.vhd files and try again.
Command line to launch emulator:
C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0\xde.exe" /vhd "C:\
Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.1\Emulation\Images\flash.vhd
" /name WP8-SDK
According to the MS forums you might be able to get the emulator to run with the following command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0\xde.exe" /vhd "C:\WP8\Images\Flash.vhd" /name WP8-SDK
That command might also give you more output as to why the emulator won't start.
I was able to resolve this by running up the Hyper V Manager and starting the VM manually.
I restarted the machine first, launched Hyper V Manager, then clicked Start on the VM (WVGA 4 inch 512MB). It started ok. I then closed it, and it then worked from VS2013.
It may be possible if you've enabled file compression on your disk..
Go to properties of the folder > General > Advanced
and uncheck the "Compress contents to save disk space" checkbox.
C:\ Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\
I hope it will help you.
Thanks,

FlashDevelop Configuration Issue - demands Java 1.6

I've been using Flashdevelop (version 4.4) for some time now with zero problems. I recently reinstalled Windows 7 however, and after installing Flashdevelop it is demanding Java 1.6 and won't compile without it. Let me be more specific, here is the error I get when I try to compile a simple HelloWorld-type test:
"Running process: C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashDevelop\Tools\fdbuild\fdbuild.exe "C:\Users\marc\Documents\DeleteMe\DeleteMe\DeleteMe.as3proj" -ipc 01be003c-6cb5-4d0b-9c35-c59dd2ea7a19 -version "4.6.0; 3.3" -compiler "C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashDevelop\Tools\flexsdk" -library "C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashDevelop\Library" -cp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_34\bin" -cp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_34"

INITIALIZING: Failed, unable to run compiler

The GlobalClasspath setting for the Java 1.6 JDK is set to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_34\bin
I have also set my JAVA_HOME environment variable to the same location as well. Might I be neglecting to set another environment variable?
JAVA_HOME should be
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_34
and not
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_34\bin
FlashDevelop currently doesn't support that your JAVA_HOME environment var contains several paths (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_34\bin\java.exe, \bin\java.exe).
Modify it to only indicate the first path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_34\bin\java.exe).
As someone who was dealing with this, I just found an answer that doesn't involve mucking with the PATH variables.
Go into your Flex SDK, /bin directory, look for the JVM config file conveniently named jvm.config
Inside, there is a param 'java.home' which, if left empty, will cause it to search for it's own value. Enter in the main path to the JRE - in my case,
java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\
I found mine by going to "Control Panel > Java > Java tab > View... button" to see all the installed versions and their paths
I prefer this method because I feel like you shouldn't have to modify settings on your whole system to get 1 program to work, if you have the option instead to just modify that program's settings.
jvm.config in C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashDevelop\Tools\flexsdk\bin\jvm.config is much more better than path variable.
Please avoid Path variable.
In jvm.config just set jre URL directory
java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07
May be you update the Java, last version of Java ask you to delete older version. Then go into the file
C:\Program Files (x86)\FlashDevelop\Tools\flexsdk\bin\jvm.config
and replace
java.home=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\
by the folder were is your new version
java.home=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_25\

adding RMySQL package to R fails (on Windows)?

I can't figure out why my RMySQL package won't install - here's what I get:
> install.packages('RMySQL',type='source')
trying URL 'http://cran.mirrors.hoobly.com/src/contrib/RMySQL_0.7-5.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 160769 bytes (157 Kb)

Warning message:

I don't think it's a problem with the MySQL install, as the right values seem to be in the registry:
> Sys.getenv('MYSQL_HOME')
MYSQL_HOME "C:/PROGRA~1/MySQL/MYSQLS~1.1/"
> readRegistry("SOFTWARE\\MySQL AB", hive="HLM", maxdepth=2)

$`MySQL Server 5.1`$Version
[1] "5.1.54"
Puzzled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The basic process is described here, but there are several hints, So I will describe the whole solution (please change the R version and paths if needed):
Install latest RTools from here
install MySQL or header and library files of mysql
create or edit file C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\etc\Renviron.site and add line like MYSQL_HOME=C:/mysql (path to your mysql files)
copy libmysql.lib from mysql/lib to mysql/lib/opt to meet dependencies.
copy libmysql.dll to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin or to windows/system32 directory.
run install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') and wait while compilation will end.
This worked for me on Windows 7 64 bit, so there should be no problems with 32 bit versions
Initialy posted here (similar question).
First I would try following the directions on this page: http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL
Then, ensure that you actually have a MySQL client on your computer, not just the server itself. I've had a problem myself where I had to use an older binary for the client, but you can download these from mysql website.
I created a binary which might work for people:
http://kenahoo.blogspot.com/2011/09/rmysql-binary-for-windows-7.html
I basically followed all these directions, including the ones at the Vanderbilt page, but for one reason or another it doesn't always seem to work. Anyway, hope this might be helpful for people who have the same versions of stuff I used.
I was having this same problem on Windows 7 with R 2.12.1 x64 and resolved it by:
Changing the R directory in my PATH variable to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.12.1\bin\x64 (rather than just ...\R-2.12.1\bin).
Copying ...\MySQL Server 5.5\lib\libmysql.dll to ...\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\.
Running R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.7-5.tar.gz in cmd.exe (install.packages('RMySQL',type='source') in R still would not work).
I came across this step-by-step guide to install RMySQL under Windows7 64bit.
http://www.ahschulz.de/2013/07/23/installing-rmysql-under-windows/
The software I used are:
Windows 8 OS
R3.0.2 - 64bit
Rtools 3.1
MySQL Server Community Edition 5.6 - 64bit
Following the above guide (with screenshots provided), my installation and loading of the RMySQL package works.
Many thanks to Arne Hendrik Schulz!
As Marek said. There is no windows binary for this package. I had similar troubles on my Mac when I tried to install RPostgreSQL (because there's no binary for Mac) in the end I had to compile it on my own and modify several files.
For the MySQL part(if you don't know much about MySQL), you might want to use WAMP which is admittedly more than you need, but easy to install and to start and shut down.
For some compiling help you might be interested in Rtools
HTH
BTW: What kind of windows do you run (sry, if I missed it)
You however there is one additional requirement at present (with the MySQL server version 5.5 & R2.12.1) follow thehttp://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/RMySQL instructions at present as the locations of the libmySQL.dll differs to what is expected in the package.
i.e. for the 64bit compiling.
it expects the libmySQL.dll to be in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/bin/libmySQL.dll
so simply copy the dll over to the /bin dir and it will now compile.
for the 32bit compilling.
the libmySQL.lib is expected in "${MYSQL_HOME}"/lib/opt/libmysql.lib
again moving this should solve the problem.
Alternatively, if you don't want to or can't move these files. Then you can edit the source code files:
Makevars.win
Makevars.win32
Makevars.win64
appropriately pointing to /lib/libmysql.dll /lib/libmysql.lib
Add MySQL and RTools directory to the PATH!
Here is my PATH ; ~blah~;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin;c:\rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\bin;
I was working for last 2 days on Installation of R with RMySQL package, finally got the solution for that, here are the steps to install RMySQL package:-
DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE FROM THE FOLLOWING LINKS:
*a. R2.13.2: Download R from http://cran.stat.sfu.ca/index.html
b. RTools 214: Download RTools from http://cran.cict.fr
c. RMySQL 0.8-0.tar.gz: Download RMySQL from
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/main/RMySQL/RMySQL_0.8-0.tar.gz
d. MySQL Server 5.0: download it from http://dev.mysql.com
e. RSTUDIO (optional): download it from http://rstudio.org*
SET THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
* a. MYSQL_HOME : <drive>/path to MySQL installation folder
e.g. MYSQL_HOME= C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\
b. R_HOME: <drive>/path to R installation
e.g. R_HOME=C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\
c. PATH: Modify path to accommodate the above variables. *
Be sure that the following paths areincluded in your Windows PATH variable:
\Rtools\2.14\bin
\Rtools\2.14\MinGW\bin
\Rtools\2.14\MinGW64\bin
CREATE FOLDER AND COPY FILES
a. OPT: Create a folder OPT under C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\lib and copy
MYSQLLIB.LIB the above path. Also copy libmysql.dll to \\R\R-2.14.0\bin\ (64 bit) Or \\R\R-2.14.0\bin\i386\ (32 bit) and to C:\Windows\System32.
b. Renviron.site: create or edit a file \\R\R-2.14.0\etc\Renviron.site and add a
line: MYSQL_HOME =”C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.5/”
NB: USE FORWARD SLASH AND DOUBLE QUOTES HERE
c. libMySQL.dll: Copy this file to C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin\i386 as well as C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.13.2\bin
RUN COMMANDS
a. Install.Packages: Run R GUI by clicking on the R icon on desktop or from Start menu. Type
INSTALL.PACKAGES(“RMySQL”,type=”Sources”). This will download the required software from repositories.
b. Command Prompt: Copy the downloaded zip file (in step 4.a.) and paste it under R
installation folder. Go to start menu and open Command Prompt. Go to the R installation folder and type R CMD INSTALL RMySQL_0.8-0.tar.gz
*COMMANDS:
>library(RMySQL)
>drv = dbDriver("MySQL")
>con = dbConnect(drv,host="localhost",dbname="test",user="root",pass="root")
>album = dbGetQuery(con,statement="select * from t_master")
>album*
18 months later, new laptop, same problem. Returning to the scene of the crime - sorry January 2011 self; we're in the future, and this installation still isn't any fun.
Lessons learned:
-Updated RTools are essential. Get them.
-Are you seeing an error along the lines of .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'RMySQL', details? This seems to mean that there's a problem with your system environment variables.
In R, run
Sys.getenv('MYSQL_HOME')
If it spits back a path like
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.6"
you're good. But if it gives you empty string, you need to set this.
These are all Windows 7 directions, but the process is pretty similar in XP, if memory serves.
1) Bring up System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables.
2) In the lower 'System Variables' pane, click 'New'.
3) Variable name is MYSQL_HOME and value is whatever the path is to your MySQL installation - mine was C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6
Newer versions of MySQL don't seem to create an environment variable on install - that and the lack of binaries for RMySQL explain why this questions has garnered 8,000 hits.
-Still stuck? Here are two additional in-depth writeups: 1, 2
Following worked for me in red hat linux
wget http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
sudo R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--with-mysql-inc=/usr/include/mysql' --configure-args='--with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib64/mysql' RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz

"193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application" bug with a new Rails Application

I have a new rails application which I have created under Windows 7 by going into a directory and typing "rails newapp". The creation went fine, and when I access the root page, all is well. However, when I try to access a page that would access the database, I get this:
193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
In the developer.log. Mysql is running fine on my machine, and I have other applications which I have running in here in other directories, it's just this one that doesn't work. Any thoughts?
Here's the answer that worked for me. Turns out it was an issue of x64 vs. x32 issue and Rails 2.3.2.
The answer I got from here (http://osdir.com/ml/RubyonRailsTalk/2009-06/msg01775.html):
In case anyone else has the same
problem after a lot of struggling on
my Windows XP x64 machine, with MySQL
5.1.30 (x64) and Rails 2.3.2 installed, this above suggestiong
helped me.
Download libMySql.dll from here (http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/InstantRails-win/InstantRails/mysql/bin/)
and putting it in ruby\bin solved the
problem.
Solved by following the directions on this blog here: http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/
which involves using the non installer version of the MySQL Connector http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/
I could not get webrick to run on x64 Windows 7 system -- got the same error
"193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application”
If I just replaced the file libmysql.dll (as suggested in posts above), I got a different error.
"Incorrect MySQL client library version!"
My Path set like this: C:\Ruby187\bin;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin;C:\Ruby187\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rails-3.1.1\bin
(didn't need to change the path again)
This error occurs if you have a file with name "Program" in the root of your drive. Say for example you are trying to execute "C:\Program Files\SomeApp\Bin\SomeExe.Exe" it tries to execute "C:\Program" if it exists. In some situations a file with this name get created if you forget to quote "C:\Program Files..." with some commandline commands. This of course also applies for you D: drive, etc.
This error often occurs if you try to start services, but may occur in other situations.
Simply deleting the file C:\Program or D:\Program etc. solves the problem.
Having run into multiple issues setting up MySQL with Rails on Windows x64 my recommendations are:
Install the 32-bit version of MySQL, do not try to use the 64-bit version.
Install into a path with no spaces, do not accept a default like "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\"
Install the MySQL gem with an invocation similar to:
gem install mysql -- --platform=ruby --with-mysql-dir="D:\Programs\MySQL\MySQL-Server-5.5" --with-libmysqllib="D:\Programs\MySQL\MySQL-Server-5.5\lib\"
Be sure to uninstall/reinstall the gem whenever you install a new version of MySQL.
Make sure D:\Programs\MySQL\MySQL-Server-5.5\lib is included in your path, as well as D:\Programs\MySQL\MySQL-Server-5.5\bin. Make sure other copies of libmysql.dll are not being picked up from elsewhere on your path or your ruby installation directories.
This worked for me with mysql-5.5.15-win32, mysql-2.8.1-x86-mingw32 and Windows 7 x64.
Copy the file libmysql.dll from your MySQL installation directory and paste it into your Ruby installation's bin directory. You may need to download a zip archive from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ if your MySQL installation directory doesn't already include the file libmysql.dll.
Using Ruby (1.8.7) with MySQL(5.5) on Windows 7 and also getting error 193.
Copying the libmySQL.dll to ruby /bin worked fine for me.
C:\Work\redmine-2.4.1\config\database.yml content:
