Installing Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012 after getting Compatibility mode error
I went to use the developer tab of InfoPath 2013 and it told me that I needed to download the Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2012. They were even nice enough to include a link!
When I downloaded the file and ran it, I got this error:
Setup Blocked, Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try setup again.
I was not using Compatibility mode, and so this error didnt make sense.
Im running Windows 8.1 with Update 1 and I didnt know if that was related.

When I downloaded the file and ran it, I got this error:
Setup Blocked, Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try setup again.
I was not using Compatibility mode, and so this error didnt make sense.
Im running Windows 8.1 with Update 1 and I didnt know if that was related.
I tried everything.. I installed the full Visual Studio 2012 Suite with Office Tools, I installed the VS2012 SDK, and still nothing worked and this wouldnt install.
Here is some of what I found in the log when it fails.
[15EC:11C4][2014-05-28T19:06:50]: Condition CompatibilityMode = 0 evaluates to true.
[15EC:11C4][2014-05-28T19:06:50]: Condition (VersionNT < v6.1) evaluates to false.
[15EC:11C4][2014-05-28T19:06:50]: Condition (NOT netfxfullredist_43_DetectKeyExists) OR (netfxfullredist_43_DetectKey < v4.5) evaluates to false.
[15EC:11C4][2014-05-28T19:06:50]: MUX: Stop Block: CompatibilityMode : Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again.
The version I was using was published on 4/30/2013 and is here
Turns out that if you rename your download (vsta_setup.exe) to something else, it will not run correctly. You must leave the name alone when you download it. For example, if you download it twice and the second download is called vsta_setup (1).exe, executing that file will not work!
Hope this helps!
Installing Sound Drivers for Windows 8 1 on a HP Pavilion P7 1258
I just upgraded my HP Pavilion P7-1258 Desktop PC to Windows 8.1 and after that I didnt have any sound.
When I tried to install the IDT High Definition Audio Drivers for Windows 8 from the HP website , I got an error about having the wrong operating system because its checking for Window 8.0 and not 8.1.
The trick to getting around this is to let SP59424.exe expand into the Temp folder (and then leave the installer running so that the temp files dont get deleted) and then run the actual install from there.
So go to %temp% and look for the newest folder in there.
Then inside that folder you will find a src folder and inside that should be a setup file, run this and you will be golden.
Here is information about the driver Im using:
