Same kind of a thing happend to me few days back, & the feature which was not installed correctly was web tools, and in the result made my web application stops working.. Googled it and corrected by opening the Visual Studio ISO and installing the webtools package separately.

So now I'm at the point where nothing will link. I mean, Microsoft said, repair the installation. Now its even worse, so I'm going to try the remove, reboot, re-install route. It's 630pm, I want to go home and relax, but I still need to get my build out the door. It's been "Acquiring" now for 20 minutes. Why can't I just uninstall?
sigh

Ah Microsoft, Microsoft - you provide so much information, you hide the obvious. Googling for the error messages I was seeing revealed all sorts of really bizarre solutions. When MS tells you to edit the registry, you know there has to be a few Charlie Foxtrots going on over there...
Even so, my woes seem to be related to a mixed version development arrangement. Since I'm a small company, I qualify for certain products that developers for large companies aren't allowed to use for free. And my local customer loves the word "free", and "do we have to?" always comes up. So, I work in a VC6, VS2005, VS2008, VS2010, VS2012, and VS2015 development environment. What could go wrong?
It used to be that if you tried to open a solution with a newer version of VS, it would ask to convert it. This was your clue. Using VS 2015, it did not ask. So, when some developer used 2012 to work on this project, that's what got committed to SVN. That's what I picked up. Converting the project to 2015 allows me to build.
Still, no where did I see in all of the google hits a note to check your project versions.
Documented here. Come get it google.

at some friend's places.
The 27" is ... sweet.
The mouse is weird.
The keyboard has no Suppr key.  This makes it pretty useless to me.
Otherwise, nothing special.

(disclaimer, I don't have an iMac, only a macbook air).
Agree about the mouse and keyboard; they need some get used to time.
switch mouse and keyboard with the model you like best and be happy;
As a computer hardware, it is nothing special.
As a complete package, it is quite good and works nicely.
If I have $3000 I'd buy it now.
I'd rather be phishing!

Only ever used one at my Cousins, no freakin' right mouse button, pointer seemed to be on slow mode, no command prompt, keyboard was spongy. Didn't like it, at the time I was dyed in Amiga user, with only a passing knowledge of Windows 3!

Ah, OK - that's the Delete key in English.
I thought it might be a French version of the "Any" key.

I've had my iMac since 2009.
27" display is still awesome.
Took 2-3 days to get used to but now I love the mouse. Way better than any MS or Logitech mouse I've used.
I have the full-size USB keyboard which has 2 Delete keys - one acts as a "standard" delete key (deletes character to the right) and the other as a "standard" backspace key (deletes character to the left).
FYI - Even on the smaller Apple keyboards with only one delete key you can press Fn + Delete to get the opposite effect.
My iMac is 7 years old, still as fast as ever, never hangs - runs like a dream. I find that pretty special.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

I just did a search for "Organizing Your Hard Drive" on this site (using two or three different phrases) and found nothing, so I thought I would ask.
Pre-Question before the main question: Did I miss the obvious ? Is there a topic or group for this already ? If so, please point me.
Main question: How do you arrange your hard drive ?
I just don't like the way mine has evolved into such an obfuscated convolution of DISorganization.
My not-so-perfect inventory of my drive shows me...
- Folders: 116,354
- Files: 620,448
...which is plenty good enough for our purposes here.
That's an average of 5 or 6 files per folder, which is an absolutely inaccurate way of understanding the numbers. The arithmetic average is by no means truly "average" as we humans understand the word.
I want to start a couple of home study courses, and I have this belief that my disorganized hard drive is going to thwart all efforts before I begin the first one.
Conversely, I have a sincere belief that an organized drive would significantly enhance and greatly increase my ability to absorb the knowledge that I'm trying to acquire.
So I'm up for suggestions and ideas on how other people have approached this.

I tell the drive where I want it to put stuff and the drive seems to obey. Even if it really doesn't, it makes it seem like it obeys.
Really, now - you organize a hard drive (or refrigerator, for that matter) based upon your particular needs. You simply put things in places where you'll be able to find them again, preferably conveniently and from wherever you need to access them from later. If you never need to access a file again then you probably don't need it to begin with.
Really!

Since years I organize my PC in a "system drive" on which in only Windows and the installed apps. For my data and even ALL download I use an extra drive.
So I am only one step away "formatting and reinstalling" windows and most of all: I know where all my data is.
Press F1 for help or google it.

I do exactly the same. I have good reasons for using a separate drive for data:
1. It means I can make an image for the systems drive only, in case I ever need to restore it. I don't want such images bloated with a pile of data folders. Image files are large enough as it is.
2. It's easy to backup data only. Just make sure everything important on the data drive is backed up to an external drive. Since I have images of the systems drive, I am not concerned about backups for that drive.
If I am attacked by a virus, like the ransom virus, I simply restore the systems drive from a recent image, and the data drive from the external backup. Images and data backups are kept in separate external drives that are normally disconnected, to avoid infection.
