Windows installer doesn't finish determining disk space requirements

I tried to install AnkhSvn-2.1.7444.278.msi on my Windows Server 2008 32Bit VPC image and had the following problem:

Before starting the actual installation process, the Windows Installer checks how much disk space is available, but it doesn’t finish this process. It pops up with the message "please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space requirements" and stays there.

After some research in the internet I found the following way to still install my MSI package on that system.

msiexec /package /qr

Yet Another Address Autocomplete PCF Control–powered by Bing

In this blog post I will not go into detail in how to install all the pre-requisites that are required to build and run PCF controls. My goal was to build a new PCF control and get into coding of PCF controls as fast as possible. Here are a few links to articles that will help you installing the pre-requisites (Microsoft PowerApps CLI)  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/get-powerapps-cli Other good references to get into this topic: https://toddbaginski.com/blog/how-to-create-a-powerapps-pcf-control/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/create-custom-controls-using-pcf I looked through the Guido Preite’s https://pcf.gallery/ which will help you find appropriate use cases / examples for your own needs. It did not take very long to find a simple example to start with: Andrew Butenko's https://pcf.gallery/address-autocomplete/ A few moments later I had the idea to create yet another address autocomplete...

Regarding SPFieldMultiLineText (Add HTML/URL content to a field) programmatically

I recently tried so set some HTML content in a SharePoint list column of type SPFieldMultiLineText. My first approach was this piece of code: SPFieldMultiLineText field = item.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName( "Associated Documents" ) as SPFieldMultiLineText; StringBuilder docList = new StringBuilder(); docList.Append( " " ); foreach (DataRow docRow in addDocs) { DataRow[] parent = dr.Table.DataSet.Tables[0].Select( "DOK_ID=" + docRow[ "DOK_MGD_ID" ].ToString()); if (parent != null && parent.Length > 0) { docList.AppendFormat( " {1} " , parent[0][ "FilePath" ].ToString(), parent[0][ "Title" ].ToString()); } } if (docList.Length > 0) { // remove trailing tag docList.Remove(docList.Length-5, 5); } docList.Append( " " ); string newValue = docList.ToString(); item[field.Title] = newValue; What this code does is to get all associated documents to the main document and to add these docu...

XrmToolBox: AutoNumberUpdater - new StateCode filter

Mayank Pujara's AutoNumberUpdater plugin for the XrmToolBox is a great tool to add missing auto number values to an auto number field for an entity/table. In his blog you can find more details about the original version of his plugin: https://mayankp.wordpress.com/2021/12/09/xrmtoolbox-autonumberupdater-new-tool/ For my purposes I had to update accounts with missing account numbers, but in my use case this should only be done for those accounts that have the status value "Active".   As this plugin did not have this feature I quickly implemented it and Mayank merged my changes to his plugin source code. You can download the new version 1.2024.0.1 in the Tool Library of the XrmToolBox.
