mysql configuration error on windows vista - mysql

I am trying to install and configure MySQL 5.0.41 on Windows Vista Home Premium and am getting the following error message:
Could not connect to the Service Control Manager. Error: 0
I am running the installer via an Administrator account, so I'm not sure why it would not have access to this. Any ideas?

I figured it out. Even when running the configuration application as an Administrator, you must have the "User Access Control" setting in Vista disabled. (And restart the machine after disabling it.)

Hyper-V VMMS won't start in Windows 8.1 pro

When I try to run an emulator in Visual Studio it tell's me my Hyper-V can't start, the strange thing is that it used to work some time ago.
What I already discovered is that my Hyper-V virtual machine management service won't start up.
When I try to start it from services it gives me following error:
Windows could not start the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Mangement service on Local Computer. Error 0x80004003: Invalid pointer
The Hyper-V-VMMS log files give me this error id: 14096
It also gives me this error in the logs with the id: 18602
The component registration information could not be read from the Msvm_VirtualSystemResourceComponent.Name="Microsoft|Shutdown Integration Component|V1.0" WMI object: %1 is not a valid Win32 application. is not a valid Win32 application. (0x800700C1). If this error persists, try re-installing the Hyper-V and dependent roles.
What I've tried so far:
Stop hyper-V and start it again (with reboots)
Check the BIOS for hyper-V settings
Searched for my error online

"Unauthorized operation" error when installing Express Edition

Microsoft Outlook 2010 with Business Contact Manager worked on my Vista laptop but, laptop died. Now, have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 tower since November. Loaded Office 2010 x86 just fine but, trying to install BCM, failed to install SQL Server Express.
So, now I can't get SQL Server 2008 to install; the Engine, that is, all supporting files install fine. I read that if you can install SQL Server 2008 with the ID=MSSMLBIZ, BCM will pass over the server install, and continue with install. I read that the issue may be SQL Server x86 on Win 7 x64. So, I tried SQL Server x64. Every time I get an Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Install always fails at step SqlBrowserConfigAction_install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32. So, ran as Admin, from Admin log-in, from the root directory in the Admin log-in, changing permissions on the Security Registry KEY, turned off firewall, all suggestions still failed.
Coincidentally, I have an Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB2732487) that has failed to install, as well.
I think your Windows 7 is not proper installed, perhaps while installing Windows Updates.
But as for the
SqlBrowserConfigAction_install_ConfigNonRC_Cpu32
I dont understand: ConfigNonRC , in Microsoft terms stands the RC for Release Candidate.
If i was you i should try this:
Open CMD as Admin
Typ: "sfc /scannow"
When that's ready your pc may restart.
Now at CMD typ: "sfc /verifyonly"
If it shows any errors, try "sfc /scannow" again.
If it does not show any errors, try to install Windows Updates. All of them.
If this works, delete all existing SQL apps. And install the Core first.
If the updates can't install, You can try to re-install Windows 7 what i basically should not do and just use MySQL. A lot faster & reliable these days.
I hope this will fix your problems!

Unable to connect to http://localhost:8091/index.html

I have just installed CouchBase Server Enterprise v2.0.0 using the setup.exe on my Windows 7 64bit machine and supposedly the Browser based Console should appear automatically after installation but all i am getting is
Unable to Connect:
**Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8091.**
The CouchBase service is running when I check?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times now?
Am I missing something here?
You are probably hitting a known issue related to IP address acquisition during startup of Couchbase Server.
I have documented a work around here: http://tugdualgrall.blogspot.com/2012/12/what-to-do-if-your-couchbase-server.html
As stated in the blog post it will be fixed in the 2.0.1 release

Trying to Install TFS 2010 - SQL Server Reporting Services Problem

Hoping someone here can help. Trying to install SQL Server Reporting Services to use for TFS 2010 and i'm having issues. I'm going directly from the TFS Install Guide. At first i had issues getting report services working so i decided just to completely uninstall SQL Server and reinstall.
When i try to connect to:
http://MyServer:80/Reports i get the follwing error:
User 'MyServer/Admin' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
When i try to connect to http://MyServer/ReportServer i get the following error:
The permissions granted to user 'MyServer\Admin' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Except for the error message the rest of the page is pretty much blank.
Every time i try to connect to either i get a login dialg and i type in the username/password for the machine admin/sql server sysadmin.
Trying to google you see all kinds of people having the issue and every person seems the have a unique solution that doesn't work. For example. I've tried to run IE in admin privileges and it doesn't help.
I even tried to run the report service process under the adminstrator just to see if that would help and no luck.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise
DB: Sql Server 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise
When you are prompted to login are what credentials are you using? Can you try logging in w/ an account that has administrator privileges on the machine?
Should be:
Username: DOMAIN\USER
Password: Password
