Add update to program

I have created a small software program that installs on a PC. I am wanting to post updates on a web site for people to download. All of the updates eventually need to be placed in the same folder, where the program is installed.
I am just looking for general ideas on how to do this- I am not that familiar with java. How can I create an update, that when downloaded and executed, will look for the folder that it needs to be installed to and
then put itself there?
Again, I am looking for a way to download a file from the web and put a file in a specific folder when a "setup" program is executed.
Any suggestions on how to go about this is java?
thanks,
Buhler

To add to the previous post - when you launch an application with java webstart, it automatically checks if there is a newer version available from the central server, if a newer version is available, it automatically downloads the newer version and executes it. Thus when you update the central server with your latest version of code, it will automatically be picked up by the client when it runs next.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Jay

I cannot download a working version of Firefox at all. Downloads seem normal but No Program in "Add or Delete programs"and NO ICON

I kept getting a mssg "update did not download. make sure there are no other copys of Firefox on your computer". That was on the user account I use strictly for the internet. I keep 3 user accounts, One is the administrator for security, a sort of 3 card monty for security purposes. The one I use for the internet kept repeating that mssg (I sure do miss the firefox spellcheck. I dont like Internet Explorer at all).
In frustration I deleted firefox from all three user accounts and attempted to download a fresh browser. All things seemed to download as normal but after the restart there was no Firefox Icon or any evidence of the program in the "Add or Delete Programs". It simply seems to disappear.
I tried downloading on the administrator account and the other two to the same effect.
I tried to do over and began to notice on the File Download-Security Warning Dialox Box that there were several different addresses beside "From;" from several different countrys, including halifax which didnt appear in the following examples
For exampl the dialog box I have up now says
File Download-Security Warning
Name: Firefox setup 6.0. exe
Type: Application, 13.3MB
From: mirror.informatik.uni-mannheim.de
Now I am going to delete this one and click the download from Firefox homepage again and it should be another;
It is. Same Dialog Box but
FROM: mirror.team-cymru.org
I delete and do that again...and also a different
FROM: mozilla.mirror.ac.za
try again..and yes it is different too;
FROM: mirror.metrocast.net
try again...the same result
FROM: mirror.Istn.net
try again...
FROM: www.mirrorservice.org
try again...
and for the first time this session I get a repeat of the last result.
My intuition tells me this cant be normal in conjunction with the fact that after going through a normal download process any of these possibilities needs to restart and then after rebooting there is no firefox icon or any evidence the program downloaded at all.
Perhaps I could do a check of the math on remaing MB space, but there has to be something wrong here.

Using "System Restore" can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.<br />
You need to (re)install software that was affected.<br />
Remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded Firefox copy to do a clean install.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Cannot uninstall I tunes. In control panel add and remove programs it will not give me the option to remove any of the I tunes. In program files it tells me access denied to remove any of the related items. I have tried using the removal methods from i tu

My i tunes will not work at all. I have tried all the steps given to remove my I tunes player but in my control panel, add and remove programs it does not give me an option to remove any of the apple/ I tunes. I tried to go to program files and remove all the files but access is denied. This all started about 1 1/2 years ago and with every i tunes update i got more and more errors or problems until it stopped working. At one time i could remove and reinstall i tunes to try to fix it but now i cannot do anything. I believe one of the last was i could not open i tune because it was being used or was on another network, not 100% sure its been so long and frustrating I quit trying 6 months ago. Hopefully someones got some help !!!
Thanks I appreciate your time; Philip

I can't add any GTK programs to "Start" menu

Hi. I have upgrade system but I can't add any GTK programs to my menu. When I tried add it, and save changes...... menu is no update. Other programs add properly. What does this means ?

Can you give us some more info? Is this gnome, fluxbox, kde, etc for example? What GTK apps do you mean?
You often have to restart the wm or reload configs etc to get new menu items showing, have you tried that?

Way to Add/Update XML through browser?

First off, what a fantastic framework you folks have created!
I'm deploying HTML site locally on the intranet and I'd like
to be able to add, delete or modify items in the XML file through
some sort of HTML form. All the examples I've seen on the internet
require asp or php, is there a way to do this without asp or php?
If not, can anyone recommend a "user friendly" way to allow people
do this? Thanks!

1. I consider myself an artist and designer, not a

and have learned enough about Spry and XML to take some of the Spry
demos and customize them to work on a couple of web sites. But I
would love to have something that I could use to fill out an XML
document without having to individually type each entry including
the opening and closing tags, when I have sets of items where there
are anywhere from 20 to 300 entries.
2. Our site is hosted on a shared Linux server.
3. I am very comfortable with Dreamweaver, which I see has
some tools for marking up pages in PHP and ColdFusion.
So what would be easiest to learn to do, learn PHP, go with
the ColdFusion example cited above, or something else?
Thanks,
Helen
dear Helen,
i see your server was Linux platform on Shared Hosting, the
best way to do know is to learn PHP since most (if not all) Linux
server support this programming language, and for ColdFusion you
need special server for that
you can read some basic of PHP and its backend Database
(especially MySQL) here:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/
mostly PHP are more easier than ColdFusion, since ColdFusion
has it own markup (CFML)
the concept was you input data to database and generate
dynamic XML for that (like what V1 Fusion said) and load it using
Spry, but if you want add/update/delete, you may have to do some
trick with spry :D
good luck

Add Updates to Baseline - VMM UI process loop

Hello,
we are currently evaluating SC VMM and ran into a few problems, of them is is this:
When I try to add Updates into a baseline VMM is able to list the updates the first time.
When I close that baseline and try to add updates to another one, at the point where it should list the updates, the VmmAdminUI process goes into a loop collecting up to 2GB of memory, dropping down to 1GB and gathering memory again and finally crashing after
1 or 2 minutes.
This is reproducable in our environment and very annoying.
It's no difference wether I run the UI on the VMM Server or on my Client.
VMM in Programs and Features shows Version 3.2.7510.0, the UI shows 3.2.7634.0.
There is nothing visible in the eventlogs.
What can we do to fix this?
Thanks

I also have the same symptom when adding many updates. So we have to use powershell all the time when dealing with baselines?

Cannot add update 8.1.4 after adding update 8.1.3

Please help me if you can. I had to reinstall acrobat 8 due to a windows reinstall. Am trying to add updates and have gotten as far as 8.1.3. When I try to install 8.1.4, the system seems to tell me that I am missing an interem update. I cannot find one. Can anyone tell me why I am having this problem and if there is a missing update.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for responding, Bill. I did check and it showed version 8.1.3 I couldn't get the updates from the help menu but downloaded all the updates from the adobe support webside. I tried twice to add 8.1.4 and each time got the same answer. I've since looked at the program and it seems to allow me to set passwords and add or delete pages, which is the main reason I am using it.... but I knwo some of the updates were critical so I would like to figure out how to get them. I've been unable to find if there is an update between the 8.1.3 and 8.1.4

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Report ID94 specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs = requested software not listed

Hi All,
Our company uses SCCM 2007 and we don't really have an SCCM officer here. I kind of try to get things done by googling a lot but for this i can't find a a solution so i open a thread.
I'm a newbie to SCCM 2007 so I don't know if i'm about to ask a dumb question but here I go.
I'm trying to pull out a report for the count of computers that run a desktop version of our Ticketing Tool.
I found the perfect standard report for this in SCCM 2007 which is: Count of instances of specific software registered with Add or Remove Programs.
in there i have to set two values: 1) the software that i'm willing to count, 2) the collection in which to search.
for value number 2 I have no problems.
my problem is in value number 1. When I click the value button to list all known software, he lists all software in a alphabetic way. problem is that it stops at letter "I"... the software i'm looking for starts with an O so it's not listed.
also if I type the software and then click Values... it replies that it couldn't find the software.
am I doing something wrong?

it sound like you are using the filter option with in the old and "crappy" ASP reports. first you should stop using then and only use the SSRS reports. secondly the filter option will only show the first 1000 rows, there is a reg key to
allow it to show more.

HOW CAN I ADD/UPDATE/INSERT IN A USER TABLE WITH MATRIX

Hi All,
I have one User table (Defined as No Object) and what i need to do is a form with a matrix to Add/Update/Delete data in my user table.
I already create the form and the matrix that already give me the user table data. But now i have several problems to solve.
First I try to add a new row but this new row get the data of the last row in the matrix. What i needed is a blank row to add new data in the user table.
Second, when i change data in matrix and do update in the form, sap show me the message that the operation is successfully done but the data in the user table in not updated.
I am trying to do one forma like whe can find in Setup-> General -> Freight.
Can anyone help me?
Best Regards,
Luis Duarte

Hi,
If ur dealing with a simple form like that U can as well use the direct table form, and just provide a FMS to auto matically fill the code and name. U can directly use the form by.. Tools-->UserDefined Windows
Or
Comming to ur problem.... when ur adding a new row clear the data sources so that u'll get a blank row.
And for update the best thing to do is delete all the records in the table and again insert all the records directly from the matrix.
Hope it helps,
Vasu Natari.

How do I remove Bing from my toolbar at the top of the page. I have already tried both of the suggestions given in the help section; I could not find Bing in my control panel "add and remove programs," and there was one other suggestion which I also tried

''locking due the age of this thread - asked and answered''
I have tried all of the suggestions given by FF in order to remove Bing from my computer but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate some advise. For instance when I go to add and remove programs I can't even find Bing listed. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks.
