Tridion Web 8.5: Can't copy and paste component - tridion

For some reason, I can't copy and paste component. I am getting an error saying "Unable to paste item, Automaton error".
I am the system admin and this is really strange to me.

Looks like there's been a few issues related to the 'automation error' due to the missing msxml4 library.

Object Reference error on build but... no location?

It's an aspx web site. It's Huuuge. Oftentimes, we won't see errors until building the entire site. But it's always told us where the error is.
This time, I'm getting an Object reference not set to instance of an object. error with file, no line, no location. Double clicking on the error just does... nothing.
Error 3 Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I've tried a few things that I've found here and elsewhere but nothing seems to be helping out or giving me more information. I've tried change the verbosity of compiler/build messages but those goggles don't seem to help.
Edit: Very specifically, the first time I try to build the site after opening the project, it says it builds just fine. Trying to build it again causes the error. Closing VS (2013) and reopening the project allows a first time build success and subsequent builds are failures. It should also be noted that it's not actually building anything because it completes far far too quickly - almost instantly.
Can anyone give me some ideas on how to track this down?
It turns out that the VS installation is completely broken. Banging on the keyboard like a monkey and then trying to build succeeds when it should not.

Rstudio outputs an error into the console while editing script

I am working on a project on Rstudio and something wired has become to happen: each time I write something into a script Rstudio automatically writes the following error into the console:
Error in rep.int(vectorNames[i], length(vector[[i]])) :
unimplemented type 'NULL' in 'rep3'
and a label appears under the cursor: "R code execution error".
Appart form this visual bug, everything is working properly. Does anyone have the same issue ?
I've just experienced this issue. In my case, I guess it must be related to the NAMESPACE file from the package.
I can see a discussion about this subject here on R Studio support site.
Citation from the source mentioned above:
There are two times when we run the code that could be emitting this error:
When attempting to retrieve completions from the package's NAMESPACE file,
When attempting to retrieve completions for native routines (e.g. for within a '.Call()' call).
Can you recall if you had been editing the package's NAMESPACE file before seeing this error? Alternatively, have you been using 'devtools::load_all()' or other similar machinery?
And to clearly answer your question:
Yes! I am having the same issue! (Damn it! :) )
LATER EDIT:
I've got rid of the problem by closing the project and reopening it again.

crystal reports error when hosting on server

I have a web application which I developed which uses crystal reports for VS 2010. The reports work fine on my machine, but when I publish the web application, I get the following error when loading the report:
Error
This group section cannot be printed because its condition field is nonexistent or invalid. Format the section to choose another condition field. Error in File temp_9b46c401-8cdb-45a6-bade-4d3e37dda1fb {572D2B99-425A-4EC5-A758-6497001368A3}.rpt: Invalid group condition.
I've searched for this and from what I can understand it's a connection issue. But I've checked and the database connection string is fine. Other parts of web application work fine with it. Is there anything else I should be checking for?
I've resolved the issue. It was very frustrating and so I thought I should put this here in case anyone runs into this:
Make sure you have the same version of Crystal Reports Runtime installed on your server as on your development machine. I had 13.0.3 on my development machine and 13.0.1. on my server. Of course crystal reports gave an obscure error which makes it very difficult to know where to look.
After I did this, I kept getting a blank page. This linked help me resolve this issue: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/287543/Crystal-Reports-not-rendering-when-webpage-is-serv. Apparently visual studio doesn't copy all the necessary files for it to render the reports.
Thanks.
I'm not so sure that the error is because of a database connection issue. If I were you I would look into a few things first:
Make sure that the database fields haven't changed. Is the application accessing the same database when deployed as it does in the development environment?
What about Null values? Have you checked the "Convert Database Null Values" in the Report Options?
What about the groups? Are there any formulas in them or are any of them based on groups? Browse the data to see if you get any errors.
Just because it runs on your development machine doesn't mean the problem isn't in the datasource. Maybe one of your report's formulas is expecting a field to be non-null, and there is a single null entry. Or a date somehow got entered as #01/01/9999# and a formula in the report is expecting a realistic date.
That should get you started and maybe even solve your issue. Give us some more info about the report and the datasource if you can.

Internal build error in Flash Builder

I am getting Internal build error in Flash Builder.
When I go to the Problems Editor, it says that I can find more details in the error log.
What does Adobe mean by referring me to the error log? Where I can find it?
This error appears at me sometimes, I never found the real reason...
Sometimes, if I save a file during the build process, something goes wrong and I get the error...
go to Project -> Clean Project, and it should disappear....

Visual Studio 2010 giving error "External Component has thrown an exception"

I am running Visual Studio Ultimate on Windows 7. Here is the description of my problem:
My VS 2010 had been running absolutely fine until today when it started giving error "External Component has thrown an exception" when I try to open a new website. Creating a new web application works fine though but I am unable to run any of them.
While trying to run the previously created websites/webapps, its giving error as "Unable to launch ASP.NET development server".
And when I try to debug the website/web app, I am getting error: "Unable to launch ASP.NET development server. An attempt was made to perform an initialization operation when initialization has already been completed".
Similar errors are coming when I try to open Windows Form Applications and other projects.
No errors are getting logged on event viewer and I cannot see any other error information apart from what is mentioned above.
I searched all over internet but no help. I have already trying un-installing VS2010 using the script at this link (provided by MS). But when I re-install VS2010, it still shows me same error. To my surprise, after re-installing VS still shows the previous project list in "Recent Projects". I really doubt if VS is getting uninstalled.
I am totally clueless and any help would be highly appreciated. I am left with no other option but to format my OS if I don't find a solution here :( Please do let me know if any other details are required...
It might be caused by an adding or extension that you've installed, maybe without being aware of.
there are several ways to deal with that - one is to get inside add in manager and remove/ deactivate them.
if VS can't load there is a flag that should do the trick.
check this link for instructions on devenv flags.
you can use: /ResetAddin or /SafeMode
