There is an install script that automatically register these DLL for use in other project. Recently there is a bug in the code that cause the program to shutdown inexplicably. Bisect didn't solve the problem (old code that was known to work is now plagued with the same symptom)
I suspect that the uninstall script didn't unregister everything, or something similar problem with the working environment, and I don't have a spare, clean machine to test me theory. Is there any way to see what are the DLL registered within Windows, like their names, version, GUID, etc?
But I am not sure if that section applies into our case. Please look into the screenshot of our server attached and advise me accordingly. How to update from our current version to the fully registered version?
1. If the server is a domain controller, you cannot convert it to a retail version. In this case, install an additional domain controller on a server that runs a retail version and >remove AD DS from the domain controller that runs on the evaluation version. For more information, see Upgrade Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2012 R2 and >Windows Server 2012.
3. From an elevated command prompt, determine the current edition name with the command DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition. Make note of the edition ID, an >abbreviated form of the edition name. Then run DISM /online /Set-Edition: /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula, providing the >edition ID and a retail product key. The server will restart twice.
For the evaluation version of Windows Server 2016 Standard, you can also convert to the retail version of Windows Server 2016 Datacenter in one step using this same >command and the appropriate product key.
2nd,Sales team suggested that, we will need at-least core 2 processor to install it. We are running the evaluation copy on the virtual machine. Looking at the screenshot can you advise that if we have the required configuration to install the update?
Where do I buy a win server 2016 key? Why is this is so insanely complicated? I've been dealing with servers and licenses and computers since the 90s and the process to get a legitimate key on my server these days is nothing short of infuriating. Idiotic.
Python environments are not required to be registered unless they want to beautomatically discoverable by external tools. As this relates to Windows only,these tools are expected to be predominantly GUI applications. However, consoleapplications may also make use of the registered information. This PEP coversthe information that may be made available, but the actual presentation and useof this information is left to the tool designers.
The schema matches the registry values that have been used by the officialinstaller since at least Python 2.5, and the resolution behaviour matches thebehaviour of the official Python releases. Some backwards compatibility rulesare provided to ensure tools can correctly detect versions of CPython that donot register full information.
By describing a layout for registry keys that allows third-party installationsto register themselves uniquely, as well as providing tool developers guidancefor discovering all available Python installations, these collisions should beprevented. We also take the opportunity to add some well-known metadata so thatmore information can be presented to users.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is the root of settings for all users. Generally, anyuser can read these settings but only administrators can modify them. It istypical for values under HKEY_CURRENT_USER to take precedence over those inHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
We consider there to be a single collection of Python environments on a machine,where the collection may be different for each user of the machine. There arethree potential registry locations where the collection may be stored based onthe installation options of each environment:
Official Python releases use PythonCore for Company, and the value ofsys.winver for Tag. The Company PyLauncher is reserved. Other registeredenvironments may use any values for Company and Tag. Recommendations are madelater in this document.
Company-Tag pairs are case-insensitive, and uniquely identify each environment.Depending on the purpose and intended use of a tool, there are two suggestedapproaches for resolving conflicts between Company-Tag pairs.
Tools that list every installed environment may choose to include thoseeven where the Company-Tag pairs match. They should ensure users can easilyidentify whether the registration was per-user or per-machine, and whichregistration has the higher priority.
Tools that aim to select a single installed environment from all registeredenvironments based on the Company-Tag pair, such as the py.exe launcher,should always select the environment registered in HKEY_CURRENT_USER whenthan the matching one in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Conflicts between HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python andHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Python should only occur when both64-bit and 32-bit versions of an interpreter have the same Tag. In this case,the tool should select whichever is more appropriate for its use.
Except as discussed in the section on backwards compatibility, Company and Tagvalues are considered opaque to tools, and no information about the interpretershould be inferred from the text. However, some tools may display the Companyand Tag values to users, so ideally the Tag will be able to help users identifythe associated environment.
Python 3.4 and earlier did not distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit builds insys.winver. As a result, it is not possible to have valid side-by-sideinstallations of both 32-bit and 64-bit interpreters under this scheme since itwould result in duplicate Tags.
Environments listed under HKEY_CURRENT_USER may be treated as distinct fromboth of the above keys, potentially resulting in three environments discoveredusing the same Tag. Alternatively, a tool may determine whether the per-userenvironment is 64-bit or 32-bit and give it priority over the per-machineenvironment, resulting in a maximum of two discovered environments.
It is not possible to detect side-by-side installations of both 64-bit and32-bit versions of Python prior to 3.5 when they have been installed for thecurrent user. Python 3.5 and later always uses different Tags for 64-bit and32-bit versions.
The following section describe user-visible information that may be registered.For Python 3.5 and earlier, none of this information is available, butalternative defaults are specified for the PythonCore key.
The Company part of the key is intended to group related environments and toensure that Tags are namespaced appropriately. The key name should bealphanumeric without spaces and likely to be unique. For example, a trademarkedname (preferred), a hostname, or as a last resort, a UUID would be appropriate:
The Tag part of the key is intended to uniquely identify an environment withinthose provided by a single company. The key name should be alphanumeric withoutspaces and stable across installations. For example, the Python languageversion, a UUID or a partial/complete hash would be appropriate, while a Tagbased on the install directory or some aspect of the current machine may not.For example:
It is expected that some tools will require users to type the Tag into a commandline, and that the Company may be optional provided the Tag is unique across allPython installations. Short, human-readable and easy to type Tags arerecommended, and if possible, select a value likely to be unique across allother Companies.
If a string value named DisplayName exists, it should be used to identifythe environment to users. Otherwise, the name of the key should be used. (ForPythonCore, the default is Python followed by the Tag.)
If a string value named Version exists, it should be used to identify theversion of the environment. This is independent from the version of Pythonimplemented by the environment. (For PythonCore, the default is the firstthree characters of the Tag.)
If a string value named SysVersion exists, it must be in x.y orx.y.z format matching the version returned by sys.version_info in theinterpreter. If omitted, the Python version is unknown. (For PythonCore,the default is the first three characters of the Tag.)
Note that each of these values is recommended, but optional. OmittingSysVersion or SysArchitecture may prevent some tools from correctlysupporting the environment. A complete example may look like this:
If a string value named ExecutablePath exists, it must be the full path tothe python.exe (or equivalent) executable. If omitted, the environment isnot executable. (For PythonCore, the default is the python.exe file inthe directory referenced by the (Default) value.)
If a string value named ExecutableArguments exists, tools should use thevalue as the first arguments when executing ExecutablePath. Tools may addother arguments following these, and will reasonably expect standard Pythoncommand line options to be available.
If a string value named WindowedExecutablePath exists, it must be a path tothe pythonw.exe (or equivalent) executable. If omitted, the default is thevalue of ExecutablePath, and if that is omitted the environment is notexecutable. (For PythonCore, the default is the pythonw.exe file in thedirectory referenced by the (Default) value.)
If a string value named WindowedExecutableArguments exists, tools should usethe value as the first arguments when executing WindowedExecutablePath.Tools may add other arguments following these, and will reasonably expectstandard Python command line options to be available.
Each subkey of Help specifies a documentation file, tool, or URL associatedwith the environment. The subkey may have any name, and the default value is astring appropriate for passing to os.startfile or equivalent.
Official CPython releases have traditionally used certain keys in this space todetermine the location of the Python standard library and other installedmodules. This behaviour is retained primarily for backward compatibility.However, as the code that reads these values is embedded into the interpreter,third-party distributions may be affected by values written into PythonCoreif using an unmodified interpreter.
