I just followed the instruction in video and could install windows 8.1

Using USB & copying windows iso on Desktop, creating USB took like 30 minutes. I used 8GB usb 2



To remove windows activation watermark go to regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\
sppsvc and right side select Start the right click and Modify change value to 4.

Open IIS Manager, and then move to the server level.

Double-click Handler Mappings.

In the Actions pane, click Add Module Mapping.

In the Add Module Mapping dialog box, specify the configuration settings as follows:

Request path: *.php

Module: FastCgiModule

Executable: C:\[Path to your PHP installation]\php-cgi.exe

Name: PHPviaFastCGI

Click OK.

In the dialog box that asks you to confirm that you want to create a FastCGI application for the executable, click Yes.

To verify that the handler mapping works correctly, create a Phpinfo.php file in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot folder that contains the following:



Open a Web browser, and then navigate to http://localhost/phpinfo.php. If everything was set up correctly, you will see the standard PHP information page.

PS: if you get "Error Code 0c8007010b" it because of application pool which is different in Plesk

another solution:

Granted Read & execute, List folder contents for Everyone on folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5

and now php is up and running for every Application Pool. The main problem with plesk was, only sites running with Application Pool Identity of a user which is member of psacln.

usually its better to install vault (source gear) after SSMS otherewise installing vault will cause an error in running SSMS.

The server returned the following error:Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IServiceProvider'. This operation failed
because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID
'{6D5140C1-7436-11CE-8034-00AA006009FA}' failed due to the following error: No such
interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).


to fix this error you need to register this dll's again

Urlmon.dll
Mshtml.dll
Actxprxy.dll
Oleaut32.dll
Shell32.dll
Shdocvw.dll

For example, click on Start, and then choose Run, and in the Run dialog type:
dont forget to run cmd as administratore:

regsvr32 Urlmon.dll

try it first in %WinDir%\SysWOW64 and if it doesnt work try %windir%\system32 folder.

after this maybe you have this sideeffect that cause you explorer to open the folders alway in new page.

to solve this :

regsvr32 "%programfiles%\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll"
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieproxy.dll"

to solve the SSMS and vault in Windows x32 do following step:

copy this text in .reg file and run it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
