I really think most of us will move to Linux over time. A decade, but we'll find it much easier as we move to SQL 2017+ and start to not care about the OS at all.

Spin up containers. Easier, faster. Or, a VM on Azure. Again, easier & faster. Especially just for testing stuff out.

Have to agree that using a Container makes things so trivial for spinning up a new instance to test on. More or less takes as long as downloading the image (is it's not already downloaded).

Given it is RTM, I would at least expect that the installer works or notifies about the requirements

Have a look at the installation logs; they are far more verbose and will very likely tell you what's missing.

Geez, who knew selling a bloody house could be this much trouble...
When the title search (I'm presuming) on the house shows an "inactive" mortgage from a lender that went belly-up 6 years ago and was in the process of being "transferred" to a new corporate owner the same year you refinanced your mortgage away from them. And you've got in your hands the county paperwork that says "this lender says they no longer hold lien on this property and have been paid in full" but it sounds like the bloody title company working on this can't find it / can't get a copy / has found a mysterious 3rd mortgage you didn't know you had maybe so the sale might get held up and you've already put in for a leave early the day of the signing which has already moved once...
Just the sort of thing I want to be stressing over through the Thanksgiving holiday...

What people don't realize is that buying and selling homes are challenging transactions that often have no clear checklist or process being delivered to consumers from lenders and agents.

Sorry to hear about that and hope you smooth things out. We sold a house in Sept, and it was a piece of cake. Sold in a few hours and then closed about 12 days later. Never even met the buyers, just went and signed stuff at the title company.

Not sure I agree here. There is a lot of paperwork, and both your agent and the lender ought to be walking you through these items. There are checklists in all transactions I've done. Granted, I've only done this in VA, FL, CO, and CA, but I have bought and sold a dozen houses.

I have to agree with Steve. While it is an enormous PITA, I've done property deals in MA, NJ and NH, as well as small one in SC that doesn't count. Between MA & NJ, I'm pretty sure every regulation known to man is in effect. However, banks & lenders have very complete checklists. The issue isn't the checklist, it's the scheduling of everything on it since it can involve multiple government agencies, banks, insurance companies, lending companies, etc.. It's not knowing what needs to be done, rather, getting it done in the correct order. This is also clearly specified, but dealing with multiple different bureaucracies that aren't beholden to one another.... blech.

A very complete checklist and a useful one for an intermittent buyer are two different things.
Good checklists are developed over time, and have the right amount of detail for the process being documented.
It sounds like you aren't the only types of buyers.

There are checklist for every transaction I've had. A checklist to be sure everything is signed, and checklists ahead of time to be sure that all items, like title searches, insurance, escrow, etc. are covered.
Real estate is complex, and certainly I'm not a typical buyer/seller. I have been involved in different types of transactions (multiple loans, contingencies, all cash, etc.) and have seen quite a bit. I think all the legal stuff that has come into play is good, and it helps ensure that this complex process gets completed.
However, it is a ton of paperwork. I recognize most of it, and don't get to concerned, but intermittent buyers can be overwhelmed. If you aren't sure what is happening, your agent or loan officer should provide you with a checklist. They are out there. For most of us, we don't care about all the middle process stuff. It doesn't really involve the buyer or seller most of the time, as it's info shuffling among the companies that handle the transaction.
That being said, when things go wrong, or companies have problems transferring something like escrow or title, it's a nightmare because no one expects things to go wrong.

This is I think, the source of the problem. It sounds like (and keep in mind, I've only spoken once with the title company rep,) that our original mortgage on the house was never marked "paid in full" everywhere it needed to be when we re-financed. It *WAS* done in the important place, the county Registrar of Deeds and we've got the paperwork to prove it, but not on the lookup system the title companies use (MERS / Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems) so now the title company is trying to make sure it won't show up as a problem when the buyer sells the property...
I will say, this has been an eye-opening look into what goes on in trying to sell a house / property! It's our first time selling a home (we've bought twice, first time the house we're selling, which went smoothly, second time it was a new-build in a new sub, so there was no previous mortgage!)
