On a Windows 8.1 machine, I'm seeing many more available cultures than on a Windows Server 2012 machine: 791 vs 378. To give a specific example, the server machine is missing the 'en-HK' culture. Here is the test code I'm using to enumerate them: foreach (var ci in CultureInfo.GetCultures(System.Globalization.CultureTypes.AllCultures).OrderBy(ci => ci.Name)) { Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", ci.Name, ci.EnglishName); } Question: how can I install the more complete culture list on Windows Server 2012 so that it matches what's available on Windows 8.1? Here's some Powershell I've used to add

Something went really wrong here. Allow me to give the background. Today I try to push to our company default bare msysgit windows server and get a dreaded error message duplicated everywhere in SO about pushing to non-bare . I thought the message was weird, since my server was supposed to be bare. And yesterday it was working just fine. Then I noticed the core.bare is, somehow, set to false ! This was a repo inited with --bare and it never had a " .git " folder in it. And then I go check, and there it is, a .git folder, that to me appeared out of nowhere, to my dismay! I ask the only other

I am trying to build a container which would include a custom scheduled task. This is my dockerfile: FROM microsoft/windowsservercore RUN schtasks /create /tn hello /sc daily /st 00:00 /tr "echo hello" I get the following error: ERROR: The task XML contains a value which is incorrectly formatted or out of range. (43,4):Task: I get the same error also when attaching to a running default windows core container and running the command. Needless to say, the command works well on standard windows 2016 server. It seems like a bug in Windows containers, but I didn't find any known issue about it.

I need to create an application which needs to create files/folders in "C:\Program Files","Users[username]" and Sys32. Also the application needs to make some registry entry. This application needs to work on Vista and higher. Also, on Windows Server 2003 and higher. The above Operating Systems have the concept of User Account Control (UAC), where to access Program Files and writing in registry requires admin privileges. I looked into many forums and found that using Microsoft SDK we can check whether the current user have admin privileges or not . But the function "CheckTokenMembership" fails

I'm trying to set up a build server for .NET, but can't figure out where MSBuild.exe is installed. I'm trying to install MSBuild using the Microsoft Build Tools 2013: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40760 MaGnumX MSBuild in the previous versions of .NET Framework was installed with it but, they decided to install it with Visual Studio or with the package BuildTools_Full.exe. The path to MSBuild when installed with the .NET framework: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework[64 or empty][framework_version] The path to MSBuild when installed with Visual Studio is: C:\Program

I find it rather weird that there are no detailed step by step explanations on how to deploy your own Meteor webapp onto your own Windows server. Or maybe I'm just not able to use Google to find one such explanation. On many pages, even on some questions here on SO, I found people simply saying " build it and deploy it like any other node.js app " which is great, except I can't find any explanation on how to deploy a node.js webapp on to a Windows server either. Meteor is so awesome , that I feel if anyone would write up such a step by step on how to deploy a Meteor app on a Windows server, a
