Web Deploy 3.5 Install Error - #2738 - wordpress

I'm attempting to create a custom WordPress theme using MS WebMatrix and am encountering the following error when trying to install the WP app:
Error 2738: Could not access VBScript runtime for custom action
This occurs when the download attempts to install Web Deploy 3.5. I'm currently running Windows 7 64-bit OS.
The research that I've done indicates this is error stems from "VBScript being not properly configured to run on the PC."
The solutions I've encountered and tried - to no avail - are:
Run MS FixIT
Re-registering the VBScript dll via cmd prompt - c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32 vbscript.dll
Run the System File Checker tool sfc /scannow
[Note: I do not have, nor have I had McAfee installed - I've seen reports that in some instances the McAfee installation can cause the wrong vbscript .dll to be registered]
Outside of doing a factory wipe - which I'd like to reserve as a last resort or completely scrap using WebMatrix entirely - I've run out of potential solutions searching this specific problem.
Has anyone had success with this issue outside of the solutions posted here already? Any help would be appreciated.

So, I discovered a solution to this issue that hasn't been covered well online, so I'm posting it here.
A steadfast solution to resolving this error if running Windows 7 64-bit OS:
Open your registry editor
Start -> Search -> Type "regedit"
In the editor, click on:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Wow6432Node\CLSID{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32
Check the value for (Default)
If it's anything other than C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vbscript.dll that's where your issue is originating
Make sure you have the correct permissions to edit the value for (default)
Right Click on InprocServer32 -> Permissions -> Give yourself "Full Control"
Now edit (Default) and set it to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\vbscript.dll
Reboot
This should fix any issues that might have been encountered during the execution of custom VBScript during Web Deploy download.

Cannot install crystal report on WindowsServer2012 R2

Can any one give a link to download CrystalReport for WindowsServer2012 R2.
i have tried using this link "https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports%2C+Developer+for+Visual+Studio+Downloads" with SP24. But its not working. Can any one give a correct link ?
Lots of links on that page. Did you install the runtime link?
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crnetruntime/clickonce/CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_24.msi
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crnetruntime/clickonce/CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_24.msi
Also, try having the version match your local development version. (e.g. if you are developing using 13.0.23 locally, then install that runtime version on the server).
What error message are you seeing - there may be other reasons things are failing such as hard-coded report connection strings etc?

How can I debug an Web (ExtJS) .Net application

I have inherited an ExtJS project that uses ASP.NET Web Handlers (ashx files) to access a database.
I'm trying to debug the connection to the database which is in the C# portion of the code.
I've tried adding a break point just before the connection to my database is made, but I can't seem to get the application to stop there. They only briefly turn white during debug-execution. Hovering the mouse over the breakpoint when it's in that state shows:
The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.
I've been all over this question, with no better results
In the modules window, the Symbol Status of the DLL does indeed show Symbols Loaded.
The dll/pdb both seem to be copied over to C:\Users\myid\AppData\LocalTempTemporary ASP.Net Files\etc.
(this seems odd, because I would expect it to attach to the .dll in my work folder) Is there a way to tell the debugger to look there instead?
There of course is no exe since this is a web app.
I've:
tried cleaning the solution and rebuilding fresh including a fresh pull from the repository.
verified the build has the "Define Debug Constant" and "Define Trace Constant" are checked
deleted the contents of Temporary ASP.NET
checked the the project was set as Debug
checked that "Just My Code" was disabled in Debug / General
restarted the workstation completely
checked that the Solution has the right project starting (there's only one in it)
checked I'm building in debug (not release)
made small changes to the code to force a recompile
checked that "Automatically determine the type of code to debug " is selected in Attach to Process
run as administrator
checked Optimize Code is not turned on in the project properties
checked that "Use Managed Compatibility Mode" is turned off
There is no aspx involved so the CodeBehind/CodeFile issue is moot.
Beyond that, that answers are very much repetitive or I tried something at random and it worked.
What have I missed? Is there something basic that you are supposed to do with the project so it will let you debug the DLL that perhaps the original developer didn't do (no they aren't available to me)?
Problem resolved...
Ultimately there were two issues.
Originally, the DLL had been compiled as 32bit DLL which didn't play nice with the database (Oracle 64bit). Switching the platform target should have resolved the issue except, IE's cache of the web page hid the fact that I was now getting a classic "Could not load file or assembly xxx or one of its dependencies." error. [incidentally, I've now sett he cache to clear on exit]
This error was caused by IIS Express running in the 32 bit version instead of the 64 bit version. Which means the DLL never really run, and explains the "No symbols have been loaded for this document." warning.
That was then resolved by going to Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Web Projects and turning on Make sure that Use the 64 bit version of IIS Express for web sites and projects.
Clean and rebuild, and everything works tickety-boo

Cannot find or open the ntdll.pdb file

After the last windows Security Update (Oct 17, 2014) my MVC 5 solution (System.Web.Mvc) started misbehaving. I'm using VisualStudio 2013. Thanks to the help I received in here I fixed the problem according to the instructions found on this page and that one.
However another problem has emerged. Everytime I debug my solution I got the following message:
C:\Program Files\IIS Express\ntdll.pdb: Cannot find or open the PDB file.
C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.pdb: Cannot find or open the PDB file.
I searched for the dll but I couldn't find it. In an attempt to solve the problem I emptied the Symbole cache and I reloaded all symbols from the Microsoft Symbol Servers in a new folder that I've created with read and write permissions. The problem remained.
In fact it's not an error because I can still run the solution by clicking on Continue and the website works well eventhough the ntdll.pdb is not found. How can I overcome this problem and how can I recover the ntdll.pdb?
Thanks
I think your solution resides here, which is the "Understanding symbol files and Visual Studio’s symbol settings" page. It describes how to configure VS's settings for using symbol files/where they're stored.
Additionally, you can acquire system PDB's for multiple versions of windows directly from MSDN, this is useful for remote debugging scenarios (production environments, or those with multiple host operating systems which need to be debugged.)
Ideally you would want to set up your own symbol store(s) and configure visual studio accordingly.

Browser can't find www.dnndev.me to install DotNetNuke

I am working with asp.net and I want to install DotNetnuke (I really need to install it). I have installed it on another computer in the company where I am doign my internship there. But I can't install it on my laptop :#.
First of all I have installed IIS (7.5 didn't worked, after that 8.0) and went through the steps in the 4 part video on how to install dotnetnuke (here is the first part: First Part)
After I did all that, I went to start the isntallation by typing www.dnndev.me on the browser... and I got the error http 500.19 error.... I fixed it by checking some options in the Turn Widnows features on or of (at Programs and Features in Control Panel).
After that I got the error http 500.21 .... I also fixed this by executing aspnet_regiis.exe.
And after executing that .exe file, when I typed www.dnndev.me, all errors where gone... but the Browser couldn't find www.dnndev.me !! I tried it on Chrome, Mozilla and IE... but non of them worken :(..
What's the problem? I removed all the errors, I did all the things in the videos.... why not working on my laptop?
Did you add the binding to IIS for DNNDEV.ME as well as WWW.DNNDEV.ME? The video instructs you to use DNNDEV.ME which is different than WWW.DNNDEV.ME, so you will need to add the binding for WWW if you want to access that.
Right click on the website in IIS, choose Edit Bindings and add the new one there.

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
