ILife'08 custom installation?

I currently use iLife'06 and am in the middle of installing iLife'08 -- I'm at the Installation Type step, having chosen "custom" installation in the previous step.
As I don't want to install iWeb 2.0 just yet, I've unchecked iWeb. To continue from this point I have to click on either: "Easy Install", "Go Back" or "Upgrade" -- and none are dimmed.
...It's not intuitively obvious to me what the difference is between "Easy Install" and "Upgrade" -- could someone who's familiar with both options tell me what each does and which I should choose to simply install only the iLife apps I've checked?

The Easy Install option means that the Installer chooses which components to install and ignores the customization options you've made. Click the Upgrade button, which will install only the components you selected.

Custom installation using XE

Basic installation of SOA Suite does not seems to work, I don't why.
I have tried Custom installation using XE Database which works but Apcahe
Web Server is throwing exceptions in installation phase (when installation process tries to launch unmanaged Apache module when configurating it) so it terminates too. So boring!
Is it possible to use XE's Http server as SOA Suite's Http Server?
How to configure that?

AFAIK, there is NO compilation of Apache on the win32 platform. If you use Vista please verify that it is certified to install SOA Suite there. Another common pitfall is not reading the installation guide and using computers with DHCP....

Can't create a custom installer ARD 3.6.1 + OSX 10.8.3

Hi guys,
I am new to ARD, and straight out of the gate I've got issues!!
I can't create a custom installer, its giving me the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer."
I've done some searching and the only issues I can find are form older versions back in 2007!
If I choose to not customise an installer is saves fine, but as soon as I customise one I get that error.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben

"An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer."

All;
I—and I've seen several others in older posts—have been reported received the error "An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer" while attampting to build a customer ARD client installer. My guess is that this is do to a issue related to 10.8.X (10.8.4, in my case) based console Mac but I cannot confirm this. I have verified that there are no outstanding OS, client or application updates or hot fixes, as well.
Has anyone built an successful installer from Mountain Lion-installed Mac? Is there any know workarounds?
Thanks in advance, for any help.

Have the exact same problem.
iMac running 10.8.4

If I chose to configure, when I try to save I get:

Custom Installation Advice

Greetings-
This question is directed at you monitor gurus and masters of custom installations, creative multimedia installation guys, and anyone with a darn good idea!
Here is the setup: I have a Sharp Aquos 32" LCD TV that I am using as the monitor for my media center. For now I am feeding the HD input from my current video rig that is rack-mounted on the other side of the room. However, I recently purchased a wireless refurb'd Mini for use as a, well, computer. It drives the LCD display via DVI, and only needs a slight Horizontal positioning tweak via the monitor controls.
The monitor is wall-mounted, and initially I thought that I might be able to mount the Mini out of sight and on the wall behind the display. While it turns out that this is technically possible, it would not allow for any adjustment at all in the viewing angle of the display, and changing the horizontal mounting height on the wall is not an option (well, it actually is, but it took some work to do it initially and I am trying to "work smart" here.
However, after receiving my Mini and having had time to grow accustomed to the look of it, I have decided that I will mount the computer on a small glass or other shelf just under the display but on the wall and in full view. It is a work of art, after all, and looks spiffy to boot.
So now to my dilemma: anybody done this? I need a suggestion on an attractive wall mounted support, mini-sized and weight support capable. I am going to mount the power brick out of view so supporting that weight is not important. I do have the ability to hit one stud within the wall with whatever attachment hardware need be, but it is 16 inches on center to the next stud and that would be wider that the mini. Ideally I mount to one stud and do not have to use any mounts within the wallboard to either side of the stud.
So ideally, in my mind's eye, I need a sturdy, centrally supported attractive shelf on which to support my Mini.
What have you creative people got for me?
Thanks in advance-
peace

C2R was the name given to the new packaging method, introduced in the Office2010 timeframe.
C2R uses Application Virtualisation (App-V) and some other components, to "install" and virtualise the file system and registry components of Office. With Office2010 in this format, Office365 was released.
C2R / App-V, has a number of advantages, especially related to streaming and on-demand scenarios, but it requires periodic internet access, and a decent internet connection.
Later, Office2013 was released in a similar, but "improved" fashion - also known as Office365.
One of the significant differences with Office365, is the subscription-based licensing model, and the subscription management components (which require you to login to a Microsoft account to validate and re-validate) are embedded.
Retail editions of Office2013 (Home & Business, Home & Student, Professional) are also released in C2R format.
(Some Retail, non-subscription editions of Office2010 could be obtained in traditional MSI format.)
Currently, non-subscription editions of Office2013, in MSI format, are only available to Volume Licensing customers.
These are specific editions (e.g. Office2013 Standard, and Office 2013 ProfessionalPlus/ProPlus), and are not available in Retail editions.
So, non-C2R is available, to Volume License customers. Which is fine if you are one, and not so great if you aren't one.

11g R2 Custom Installation

I have been asked to install and test Oracle 11g ODBC driver to connect to 11g DB for a legacy application and I'm trying to have a minimized installed. I am new to Oracle FYI. I am using Windows 7.
If I select Custom Installation Type and select 'Oracle ODBC Driver' only, do I need any other components to test this connection from .Net or Toad?
I have seen an Instant Client with ODBC installer but I am not sure which direction to go.

Hi,
If you do a Custom installation and select ONLY the ODBC driver, it will also install the dependencies (ie, Oracle client) along with that, which will give you all the pieces you need to connect to a remote Oracle database. You'll need to create a tnsnames.ora file manually (or copy one) though if you're going to use tnsnames.
I'd recommend though, if you go that route, to also install sqplus at the same time, as then you'll have a way to confirm client connectivity outside of ODBC.
Instant client would also work, and be much smaller, but it's a little trickier as far as the setup goes.. nothing drastic, but going the OUI route instead it will pretty much "just work" after the OUI finishes. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html
Hope it helps,
correction/comments welcome.

Custom Installation for non European languages

Hi,
While installing JRE (particularly 1.4.2_XX ) in custom mode, second option enables user to support for additional languages.
The disk size requirement is 18 MB but after installation i figured out that it takes ~8 MB.
As per documentation at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/locale.doc.html#jfc-table , it states that JDK on windows has language support installed as a default but for JRE custom installation is required.
I have following question related to this installation
- What files are updated with this installation? I found few files e.g. charset.jar , font files are installed within JRE installation directory.
- Does this installation updates/adds any Windows System files/font/registry?
The question has arrived as our Swing application hangs with JRE and works fine with on JDK on event of inserting thai character into JTextPane.
Any help will be highly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Advait

Hello Advait,
The custom feature you are refering to is related to this RFE:
4508848 "Small" J2RE for Windows should include Western European languages
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4508848
It implies selecting "support for additional languages" would include lib/charset.jar and lib/ext/localedata.jar.
This feature was also described in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/changes.html
Internationalization
The following changes have been made to internationalization functionality in J2SE 1.4.2.
* Installation of the J2RE on Windows has changed, with impact on the supported locales. There now is a single installer, which by default installs a runtime with support for European languages if the Windows host system only supports such languages, or a runtime with support for all languages if the Windows host system supports at least one non-European language. Users can request installation of additional languages in a custom setup. For complete information on which locales and encodings are supported with which installation, see the Supported Locales and Supported Encodings documents. For general information, see internationalization.
Regarding your second question, I received the answer from our install engineer:
Yes, the installer creates many registries, and we copy java.exe/javaw.exe/javaws.exe to the Windows system directory.
I am not sure why your Swing application hangs with JRE. Did you select the "support for additional language" option during installation? (I assume you did, correct?)
thanks,
miko

Force custom installation with Packagemaker/Iceberg

Hi everyone,
I'm building an installer for After Effects plug-ins, and I need the end user to select either the AE 6.5 or AE 7.0 version to install from the Custom Installation menu in the metapackage installer I've created.
The issue is I want the Custom Installer page to pop up as soon as the user selects the installation Volume and the installation directory. Currently, if you choose the Volume and Directory, it goes straight to the Easy Installation page, and I don't want this to happen, since click-happy users are going to try to blaze right through the installer and install to the wrong location.
In 10.4, this is possible by leaving both installer packages in the metapackage set to "Unselected," which makes the user select the install destination, plus choose which version to install. I need this to work in OS 10.3.9, but I just can't get it to work the same way with both packages unselected. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
Thanks,
Marco

Create custom installation media

I would like to create a custom installation media DVD that will install Solaris 10, then install some of my custom applications. As time goes on, I would like to update the install media with security patches and other changes. What would be the best method to approach this? Flash install?

I managed to get this working. I used the Distribution Constructor to add my software to the ISO and it gets installed fine when I build from the new ISO.
I now want to go one step further and make my software optional (or even configurable) at install time, rather than at ISO creation time.
Does anyone know how I can hook into the Solaris 11 (text) Installer and prompt "Do you want to install XYZ package" and have the installer act accordingly on the response given by the user?

BOE XI v3.1 Custom Installation

Running a Custom installation of BOE XI v3.1 is forcing the use of MySQL as our CMS database. One of the first installation screens has us choosing "Custom" or "New" installation.
But there is no possibility of choosing an existing database server with the "Custom" install.
According the installation guide, pg. 73, we should be able to use an existing database server for the CMS with a Custom installation.
We would like to use SQL Server and have set up the database and ODBC. There is no problem configuring this when we try a "New" installation, the problem only occurs with the "Custom" installation.

Yes, I think we did select "Enable servers upon installation". On the "Please select which features you would like to Install" screen, when selecting to install "Central management Server", we expanded the Central Management Server and for MySql selected "Entire feature will be Unavailable". Look at page 69, step 3 of XI3.1 installation guide for Windows.

New Platform in Oracle Lite - Custom Installation

Hi all,
I read from the Oracle Lite documentation that the Oracle Lite setup can be customized. For trial I was able to modify the ppc60.inf and push my custom cab file, create a custom directory, install a cab file.
I would actually want to perform the same steps for my custom setup apart from using the same setup as I donot want to disturb that provided by Oracle Lite. I see from the documentation "5.2.2 Installing Standard SDK WinCE 5.0 CAB Files for Your Mobile Client" this can be achieved. I followed the steps in these.
I created an ini file and registered it with the server repository running the dmloader. I have placed my cab files and the inf file in the appropriate mobile server installation folders. This is my ini file content.
[PLATFORM]]
Oracle MCP;US
[PLATFORM.Oracle MCP;US]
TYPE=WINCE_ARMV4I_US_OLITE_MCP
INF=olite_mcp.inf
BOOTSTRAP=DeviceInfo
ATTRIBUTES=update=true&enabled=true&app_upgrade=true&dmc=auto
I got the new platform in the setup screen as Oracle MCP in the US section. But when I click it in a Win32 machine I get an error as "Access Denied: Oracle MCP;US Resource no found: WINCE_ARMV4I_US_OLITE_MCP" and on a WinCE machine the page navigates to an error page showing all the platforms available. I am not sure of the folders to be created for placing the setup.exe are correct, how do we get the setup.exe for the for the custom installation and if there are any other extra steps to be done.
If anyone has come across this, could you please help me out ? Thanks in advance

Silent install Air Runtime and Air App with custom installer?

I want to use a custom installer that will perform some actions, and then silently install air runtime and an air application. The goal here is to be able to perform a customized install for an Air application (for a user that might not have Air installed) without confusing the user with multiple install screens. Can I use a custom installer to silently install Air (if the user doesn't have it installed) and the Air app? If so, are there any restrictions on the custom installer? If there are any examples of this, please provide the links.

Since you applied for the distribution from Adobe you should
have received a link to a page where you can download what they
call the "side-car" installer. It's basically an installation
system they are making available to developers that can be easily
configured to deliver a bundled runtime and application
installation for Mac and Windows.
Check your email again and see if you can't find a link in
there pointing you to a download page for the AIR runtime as well
as the aforementioned side-car installer. For those who don't know,
here
is where you can apply for a redistribution permit for AIR.
I have a small tutorial posted that might be of help to you

Can't install Apple Remote Desktop 3.5.1 custom installer on Lion 10.7.3

Ever since Lion 10.7.3 was released, I've not been able to install the custom client installer package that I've made with Apple Remote Desktop 3.5.1.
The error I get is "Remote Desktop Client Update can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this package is already installed".
I'm guessing this is to do with Apple releasing the ARD 3.5.2 client, but not releasing a new server.
Is there any way of me tweaking the custom installer, so this can be installed? Or do I have have to wait for ARD server to be upgraded to 3.5.2? :-|

I was able to download the ARD 3.5.2 Client and take the customisations from the generated custom client installer.
To do this you need to expand the Custom Installer to a directory somewhere (in this example I'll expand it to a directory on the desktop)
pkgutil --expand CustomClientInstaller.pkg ~/Desktop/CustomClientInstaller
Inside the expanded package, there are 3 files which are appended with "_entries" which seem to contain the customisations that are specified during the package generation process. So, we need to copy these to a temporary location...
cp ~/Desktop/CustomClientInstaller/RemoteDesktopClient.pkg/Scripts/Tools/*_entries ~/Desktop
Now, what we need to do is expand the ARD Client we just downloaded (3.5.2) and apply the customisations to it...
pkgutil --expand RemoteDesktopClient.pkg ~/Desktop/RemoteDesktopClient
cp ~/Desktop/*_entries ~/Desktop/RemoteDesktopClient/RemoteDesktopClient.pkg/Scripts/Tools
pkgutil --flatten ~/Desktop/RemoteDesktopClient CustomRemoteDesktopClient.pkg
You should now have an up-to-date customised ARD client. Note that I have not fully tested all of the options, such as creating users. It may be necessary to look at this post if the newly customised ARD client has problems creating a new user.
Hope that helps

T410s to 64bit (4GB ram) - Order recovery media or custom installation?

Hello.
I just bought a T410s with 4GB but as it came with 32bit Windows 7 Pro, I can only use 3GB.I need the whole amount of memory so I need to upgrade to 64 bits.
The main question .Is the cost logical to go for a recovery media through Lenovo Support centre or should I go the custom installation path? If anyone knows in european prices the approx. cost I would be thankful.
Thank you.

Since you already have a Windows 7 Pro product key, you can legally download a 64-bit Windows 7 Pro ISO from Microsoft and give it your Windows 7 key found on the machine's underside. However, non-Lenovo installs don't have Enhanced Experience, so that'll be a point of consideration.
Drivers are easy; you simply download the ThinkVantage System Update tool and it can download and install all of the necessary drivers in one simple procedure.
You can find a more comprehensive hardware manual here:
