Disable TortoiseSVN project Monitor - r

I installed TortoiseSVN on my work laptop (win 7 Ent.) and tried to integrate Tortoise with R-Studio. But because of some known issues (see here), I did not take it further and disabled subversioning on R-Studio. Since then, when I start R-Studio client, the Tortoise Project Monitor opens up automatically and takes R-Studio into initialization stage until it crashes and I have to kill R-Studio client.
After playing around for few hours, I learnt that I have to open two instances of R-Studio to be able to run it. So, now, I open R-Studio and let it go into initialization stage and then in the meantime, I open another R-Studio and the 2nd one works fine; then I kill first one. But, it is kind of annoying as the trick does not work sometimes.
I uninstalled R-Studio and reinstalled it again and no change. I am afraid if I uninstall TortoiseSVN and then cannot install it again- as it is an open source and there is no support team to help in case of any trouble.
Wondering if anyone has any idea on how to disable project monitoring at all. I don't really need it at all.

Project Monitor can be disabled in Project Monitor Options.

MAMP icon unresponsive, unable to open

I have just installed MAMP in Windows 10 alongside my class so that we can begin to work with Wordpress. However, the installed icon, and the app itself within my 'start' search function is unresponsive. I always get this popup: "To run this application, you must install .NET Core." The Popup has MAMP.exe in the corner. I did the recommended download at x64, and got confirmation that it was installed, but I got no result. Any time I try to click on the MAMP icon on my desktop, I get that message. I made sure my Skype was off, I checked if I had multiple Apache installations (I saw none except a years-old one in an archived folder) and I restarted my computer but to no avail. I wonder if there is an issue with the path or the browser -- .NET Core was done with Edge, MAMP was done with Chrome. This is mysterious. If anyone has advice on what to try, much appreciated.
I found the answer! Download x86 version of .NET Core and then install it afterward no matter how old your computer is. I did that and it works perfectly now.

R studio not responding

My RStudio is opening multiple processes(opening R Studio in different windows) when I open just one. I am not able to open any project. It becomes unresponsive. I tried using in compatibility mode, running as admin and also uninstalled. But still,(here's the image) the same problem persists. Can someone please help me?
Before you reinstall everything, which may take a lot of time, it is worth removing application data, which is a cache R keeps of last sessions etc. It involves settings such as information from last session, etc which RStudio tries to reopen every time you open it.
For app data, look under your user folder which must be somewhere like
c:\Users\<your_user_here\AppData\Local
c:\Users\<your_user_here\AppData\Local\LocalLow
c:\Users\<your_user_here\AppData\Roaming
Delete every subfolder called R, RStudio-Desktop or RStudio under these folders. Don't worry, you won't lose your source program files and projects. It may help you recover everything without having to start over from scratch.

windeployqt.exe not working ? Application does not start

I have a simple application using
QT += core gui network webkitwidgets
I've used windeployqt.exe to generate the 32 bits release on my win-10 64 bit computer. When I put the folder on a win-7 64 Bit desktop and double-click the app.exe, it never starts.
I can see it in the task manager, but I can't kill it, and if I try I cannot close the explorer folder in which I double clicked anymore.
I've checked the usual platform, ICU, qwindows.dll, and so on.
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html
EDIT Precisions:
I've compiled with default 32 Bit kit: "build-Test-Desktop_Qt_5_5_1_MinGW_32bit-Release" with "mingw492_32"
I have a package "release" generated by windeployqt.exe using the --webkit switch. I start a command prompt:
> set path=
> set mingw=
Then I make sure that no Qt/Mingw things exists anymore in my environment variables.
I also rename "c:\Qt" into "c:\ __Qt".
I move my release folder on my desktop.
I start release\test.exe ( from the clean path shell )
Everything runs fine! So The release/test.exe has everything it needs without the path/mingw variable.
But as soon as I put the folder on another windows machine ( 7 instead of 10 ) it never starts.
I tried dependency walker. It shows a lot of "API-MS-WIN*.dll" missing...
It even shows much more missing dlls on the "good" machine than on the bad one !!!
Every single "missing dll" on the "bad" target machine is actually in system32 on this machine.
Thanks for advice, every advice is welcome, I'm a bit desperate... :)
Edit
It seems to be related to the machine itself. I have successfully deployed this (very small) app to 2 non developer machine on win7 and win8 respectively. But the above "bad machine" still resits running it...
Edit
The problem seems not to be general but related to this one particular machine. Hence, feel free to close or move to the appropriate forum as it is not related to Qt/windeplyqt. If I figure out a solution, and question is closed, I'll simply add a last edit. Safe Boot and malwarebyte are my next actions.
After a long investigation.
Do not believe dependency walker, it used to be a top notch tool but it is now outdated.
If there is a missing dll, the system will prompt you with "cannot load dll xxx.dll" anyway.
Your best shot in case a soft runs on machine X but not on Machine Y is:
start in safe mode ( run: msconfig --> diagnostic startup )
turn off any antivirus or non microsoft/driver software,
"run as administrator".
If you can run with step 3. Then proceed by elimination:
run without admin rights,
Start anti spyware, etc...
Add appropriate exception to your antivirus if it is the root cause.
If the antivirus is not the root cause, run process monitor on both machines. Then compare, what Failed on one machine and not the other ? Read the windows event log and compare any error messages on both machines.
run sfc /scannow to check disk
run a complete anti spyware scan/ pc-repair tool ( malwarebytes, combofix, ... )
Make sure you really have the very same package on both machines, make sure you are not trying to run an exe on mac OS, make sure your computer is on.
Call the oracle, you are in the matrix...
In my case the problem was Avast and it was solved by adding appropriate exception.

Visual Studio 2015 download getting stuck at applying Microsoft ASP.net

I'm currently on my third attempt trying to install Visual Studio 2015 on this computer. I have tried rebooting, hard shut downs, canceling setup and restarting, etc. Each time, it gets stuck at applying Microsoft ASP.net. I have tried leaving it overnight (12 hours). My download speed is 50-60 MBPS according to Ookla Speedtest. I am running Windows 10. I did do a "custom" installation and added C++, Python, and the Git extension. If I am not mistaken it said 7 GB size. Why is it doing this? Please help!
I don't understand why this isn't working because I installed VS 2015 for my laptop (a different computer) just a few days ago on a relatives WIFI and their speed was 3-7 MBPS.
(Note: The installer is not technically frozen since the loading dots on the bottom are moving.) However, bar hasn't filled up at all for like 6 hours.
EDIT:
Do I need ASP.NET (for C#, Python, and maybe C++)? Can I uncheck certain features for installation so that it wont try to install this? Also, when I cancel installation it never cancels and just stays there so I have to kill the installer with the task manager. This is getting incredibly frustrating.
Fixed it...
Easiest way is "threaten" to shut down the computer. Go into Power, restart system. You will be warned that there is a logging program which will not let the system reset. Cancel that program and then do NOT restart.
Installer immediately went on to next part and finished install after having been stuck for 6 hours...
I got it to work, it wasn't perfect, but here is what I did: It was getting stuck at very certain points, most notably ASP.NET. I did a little research and got an idea from something I read (I unfourtunetly can't find the source again). Sometimes windows opens invisible "confirm" type windows or installer windows that get stuck. When the installer got stuck I opened up task manager -> details, than checked On the visual studio process by right clicking then clicking analyzing wait chain. This showed me what process the VS install was waiting for. Then, I'd just kill the process. Messy, I know, but better then nothing. I had to do that 2 or 3 times. Afterward it said it installed correctly with 2 components that had warnings. ASP.NET was included. But everything else worked fine (c#, C++) Later I went back and did a repair. That worked pretty smooth. Finally, I installed the Python Tools successfully. (that part is sort of irrelevant but the point was that everything is now working fine).
edit, found another source: Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Installation Stuck In Windows 10
Yes i had this problem too. To solve this open task manager and go to details tab then search for TiWorker.exe, right click on it and choose analyzing wait chain it will display many instances of the process that are in waiting mode , check all those processes and terminate them after doing this the installer will go to the next step.
To avoid this problem, you have to install IIS first.
Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Select "Internet Information Services" -> OK
I had this problem a couple of hours before writing this answer and what worked for me was:
I opened other programs at least two or three and went to power and clicked on restart as usual it will warn you about open programs that need too be closed before shutdown or programs that are currently active I then clicked on force close and it closed the first program that I recently opened then I quickly clicked on cancel. Two minutes later instalation was back on track
Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then go to Tiworker.exe and terminate all the waiting processes.
I found a solution to this headache of a process to install Visual Studio. If you have tried everything and nothing seams to be working for you even by trying the command line shell then try this.
Go open task manager while running the installer and kill wusa.exe. It will kill the process to search for the update and continue the installation. You may have to kill some other processes as well if they get stuck. Its not great but it seams to be working.
wusa.exe seams to be the task that is the problem that prevents the installer from moving to the next step. This could be because your computer can not reach the update server.
This seams to be the case for both the Community and Enterprise Version of Visual Studio.

Qt program does not run and exits immediately when run on another computer

I want to deploy my QT program and I can't find the reason it doesn't work, maybe you guys can help me ?
I work with visual studio 2010, windows 7, QT 5.0.2.
I have tested my deployment tree on my own computer and it works fine.
When deploying my application I ship every necessary dll that I am aware of. Depends.exe does not complain. I also deployed the plugin I know of, and since it still did not work I moved my entire plugin folder in the exe folder.
When I execute it on any other computer than my development computer, the program exits instantaneously with no message whatsoever.
Any idea where I should look now ?
How can I debug that kind of issue ?
Did you try deploying the debug version of the program and then starting it from the command line. The debug version will output more information to the console which could help you resolve the issue.
You will have to also deploy the debug versions of the MS c-runtime libraries.
Deploying the debug version is not a permanent solution, so you should not adopt that as normal routine for distributing your software. I am just suggesting that you try running the debug version one time on that particular machine until you figure out the issue. Then remove the installed program and install the release version again.
You can run your application using QtCreator:
Debug > Start Debugging > Start and Debug External Application...
This can give you more information about what's going on.
