App uninstall and Windows File protection

Hello,
I am having problems uninstalling Apps created with snapshot. The apps
install fine but when uninstalling Windows file protection pops up with
the prompt for the cd. Is there a work around to this? Can I hack the
registry to point to an i386 directory and copy the cd? I have read about
turning it off by using the hexeditor on the dll and the other registry
settings but is this the way to go?
Environment is: ws XP sp2, workstation agent is 4.01 ir7,server side is
Zen4.01 sp1
sp1
Thanks in advance for any help

Windows File Protection and a3d.

When I install the driver CD for a X-fi series card on a fresh install of Windows XP, I get a warning in Event Viewer from "Windows File Protection."
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr>
<EM>File replacement was attempted on the protected system file a3d.dll. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the bad file is 80.0.0.3, the version of the system file is 2.9.0.0.</EM>
[/quote]

Hmm... That is rather strange. Windows doesn't generally include that file on the CD so it is strange that it gets replaced. Do you have a custom Windows XP CD with integrated drivers?
You may avoid the file being replaced by removing your Windows XP CD from the dri've. Windows will try to search for the file, and if it doesn't it will ask you if you would like to keep the "unknown version".
If this is the only file that gets replaced, I wouldn't worry at all. Xou are not likely to play games that only support A3D .0, these were pre-998 games and even then, they do support pure DirectSound3D.

Setting the "SourcePath" should help.
When Creating images, I usually place a copy of I386 on the PC and set the
registry to point here.

Copy CD with Mac and Windows Files

I have a CD, not copy protected that has both Mac files and Windows files on it. Specifically it is a Printer Driver CD.
When I make an image of it with Disk Utility, the only files in it are the Mac files. I wanted to make a safe backup of the CD, including both the Mac files (for my PB G4) and the Windows files for when I install the print drivers on my new MacBook Pro using BootCamp.
Any ideas as to how to make a copy of a CD that has both Mac and Windows files on it?
Thank you

Are you sure the Windows files aren't there? A lot of CDs are hybrids, and do not show the files that belong on another platform such as Windows. Put it in a Windows computer and check.
Otherwise, buy a copy of Toast and dupe it that way.

Windows File Protection error when installing 9i client

While installing the 9i client I am getting a Windows file protection error message on all 5 of the test machines.
If I cancel out of the message the install finishes correctly and everything seems to function properly.
However, it is prety counterintuitive to have to cancel out of the message when we are wanting to do these installs in silent mode.
Anyone else have this problem, or any ideas on fixing?

nm, fixed it myself.
The Oracle install was replacing regsvr32.exe with an old version. When WFP detects a file protection problem, it first looks at the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache dir for a known good copy of the file to restore. If it doesn't find one in there, then it pops the dialog up and asks for a CD. If it does find one then it silently restores it in the background.
So, now at the beginning of my script I have a script checking the dllcache dir for regsvr32.exe, if it is there it moves on to the install, if it is not then it copies the one from their current system32 dir into the system32\dllcache dir. That way when Oracle replaces it WFP will silently restore their previous version.

How to burn a dvd with both Mac and Windows files

I have a DVD that has both Mac and Windows formatted files. When the DVD is mounted only Mac formatted files show. I want to burn a DVD copy containing both formatted files. How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

Correction! It is a CD and there are two partitions with Mac and Windows files.

FileIO and Windows file updating

I am having a file problem with my Director application. I have two Director MX applications which run on different computers. They communicate with each other via a text file which is stored at a networked location. Both applications access the file and write to it. I have several users using the applications at the same time. Potentially, I could have 1 user using AppA and 8 users using AppB at one time.
I am using the FileIO extra. When a user needs to update the file, the applications follow these steps:
     create the Fileio object
     open the file with write access
     read the file
     delete the file
     create the file
     open the file with write access
     write to the file
     close the file
     set the Fileio object to 0
The problem occurs intermittently when users are accessing the file at approximately the same time. There are times when the correct information has apparently not been written to the file. For example, AppA reads the file, AppB reads the file, AppA writes new information to the file, AppB writes different new information to the file. Basically AppB's changes win and AppA's changes are lost.
There also have been instances where the correct information has been written, but a user has accessed the information almost immediately and they receive the old information. If I check the file later, the correct information is there. I have seen similar behavior in the past where I've made changes to a text file but another application accessing that file still receives the old information. I believe this is a Windows issue where the file changes have not been actually stored yet.
I really have two problems. First, there is apparently no way to lock the text file for the entire time it is being updated. I'm not sure this is solvable using Director and the FileIO xtra. Except for the moment between the delete and the open, I should have the file locked to other users. There is apparently no way, with the FileIO capability, of locking the file for the entire time.
The second problem is the Windows issue with file changes taking some time to synch up. Is there a way to force the Windows text file to accept the changes so that I can be sure the next user is getting the absolutely latest file? I'm not sure how to describe the problem exactly to search for solutions. Is there a term for this?
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

If you have multiple instances of the same app using a single file then you should probably be using a database.
If you want a simple, free and portable solution then I suggest checking out Valentin's SQLite Xtra here: http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/sqlite/

I set the prefferance to show tabs and windows from last session but every time i power down my firefox or my Mac all my app tabs and windows disapear. what's wrong with my settings.

I set my preferences to '''show all tabs and windows from last session''' and un-checked the box for '''don't load tabs until selected''' but every time I turn off fire fox and power down my Mac all my app tabs disappear.

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

10.8.4 (server) and windows file sharing problem

Hello
This is a clean install of 10.8.4 and server apps not and upgrade of 10.5.8
(This server had a working 10.5.8 server install.... sigh!)
AFP, SMB and guest access enabled on all shares
Guest sharing enabled in the User accounts in System prefences.
from any Mac station AFP:// and SMB:// works fine using Guest access or typing in any name.
No Windows station ( Win 7, XP, SRV 2008 ) can connect to the shares successfully.
Tried from stations that are part a local domain and others who are just in a WGRP
When attempting to connect to the Mac server shares the log in window appears and
no matter what is typed in ( Even the Mac server admin account) or guest
the connection fails
Error: is not accessible, you might not have permission to use this network resource
the remote procedure call failed

I'm actually having the same issues as Shawn. No non-Mac computers can connect to the new Mac Pro server (10.8.4) using SMB. Mac users can use SMB or AFP without issue.
Here's a screenshot of the message Windows users are seeing:
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get this fixed? This is urgent!

Ipod Photo storage and Windows Files

Slightly technical question: I download photos from my Canon camera (EOS 300D) to my Ipod. Then upload to my computer and a file is created in Windows (My pictures) using the date the photos are taken.
When I want to delete the photos from My Pictures I can delete individual photos but not the whole folder which claims 'cannot delete zb.thumbnail.info:it is being used by another person or program....'
There is no problem with deleting all photos / folders in the ipod.
Is there any camera / computer / ipod techie out there who can suggest a way of deleting these unwanted folders in my computer?

Thanks for the reply. The only problem will be that after a time I will end up with lots of empty folders cluttering up my pictures so it would be nice to get rid of them.
Do you know how to find out what programme it is linked too and if there is a way round it that means I can still delete them?
Best wishes,
Robert

Recording SAPGUI and Windows file dialogs

Has anybody been successful in recording some Windows dialogs that can popup in the flow of a particular SAPGUI scenario, as uploading a local file into SAP or downloading data to the PC. There is a windows file selection dialog which is used to select a file and I just can't record what happens inside. Playing back the recorded scenario makes it block.

Thank you Christian. I'll have a look at these as soon as I can, but I believe that was not the primary request. I think that the solution described in the tech-note 686674 is perfect, but unfortunately, the solution consist in installing a new support package. It consist in SAP_BASIS, release 60, from release 620 to 620. I'm not sure what can happen if the current release of the SAP_BASIS component is 700 - the note is a bit unclear on this. That is my primary question now...
Thanks in advance

Issues with Mac OS X Server 10.4.8 and Windows File sharing

We are having lots of issues with our SMB share on Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. The main issues are the following:
- Group ACLs seem to not work properly, and I have had to add dozens of manual permissions on a per-user basis
- Often, users open a file in read-only mode, without any reason, and can't modify it
- Often, users open a file with full write access, but then cannot save it and have to use a "save as function".
After having looked all over the Internet and on the Apple's discussions forum, it seems like this issue has been around for quite some time now:
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?forumID=702&threadID=&q=smbANDpermissions&objID=f702&dateRange=thisyear&userID=&numResults=15&rankBy=10001
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546867&#1546867
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=647251
And no real answer/solution has been provided by Apple yet.
I also looked on Samba related pages, and it seems like these issues were Samba related (both ACL/OpenLDAP and Microsoft Office file handling issues), and the current version of Samba (3.0.23c) seem to have solved lots of issues in these areas:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.23c.html
Apple ships Samba 3.0.10 (16 Dec 2004) with 10.4.8, which makes the shipping version at list 15 versions (and 18 months) behind the current Samba release (30 Aug 2006).
People within the company are obviously quite unhappy with the situation and beyond me looking like a fool for migrating from Windows Server to OS X, I now need to find a solution to the issues.
I would like to know what is the official and Apple recommended way to solve this issue.
Kind regards,
Pejvan
It seems like Apple is totally ignoring the issues, users are facing with SMB shares, while their emphasize as a selling point how OS X Server is a great "windows file" server.

Hiya
Thanks for the reply.
>Is there a UPS involved?
I wish there had been. I might not be having to deal with it now! :-)
>If you boot from the Install Disc & use System Profiler there, does the Same RAM situation? Did you physically >check those slots? Thinking maybe the OS is kicking them out on bootup?
I've had the following suggested to me on another forum - "My guess on the RAM error is this. You have a processor that wants the RAM to be dual channeled and since it reads both A slot are populated it wants both B slots to be populated. Remove A2 and put it in B1"
But unless it is degrading performance I'll probably just leave it.
> Still can't get it to boot from the Clone holding the Option/alt key at bootup?
I can get it to boot from the Clone using the option key but it's a pretty random event. I can try for ages and then suddenly it'll work. Or it may work first time. It does seems to work more easily after a PRAM zap. The funny thing is that once it is booted up it will re-start in any way I want it to (the boot volume, the clone, a disk, single user mode etc). It is just hard to boot from a full shutdown.
I'm thinking that if I ca get the start-up issue fixed then I can fix the RAID issue at my leisure and even add the hard-drive that the clone is currently on to the RAID array.
Thanks again.

WatchGuard Mobile VPN Uninstall and Windows 10 = Sadness

So like many I took my machine and upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 the other day. At the time I still had the older WatchGuard Mobile VPN (ipsec) software installed. It was still there after the upgrade so foolishly I assumed all was well. I went to connect the other day and clearly it was having issues NCPMON.exe. After playing with some compatibility mode settings I got passed that and it let me know that it was "For Windows Vista and Windows XP 64 Bit the license key must be at least 9.0!" - neat. Whatever, no biggie, I installed the shrew soft client and things went fine there. So time to uninstall the old Mobile VPN software right? Nope, that was bad. It appeared to uninstall just fine, however on reboot both my LAN adapter and wireless adapter ceased to function. They showed in the device manager and in Control Panel\Network and...

Can you partition an external hard drive to run both mac and windows files

I have an external hard drive fomated for windows NTFS. I am unable to Write mac files to this drive. I need to be able to share the files
between both platforms. Any suggestions? Thanks

Format it as MS-DOS from a Mac or exFAT from a PC, or install Mac OS X software which allows it to write to NTFS drives, or hook it up to a PC and make it available as a network share.

What happened to Active Directory and Windows file shares?

Hello all,
i have a few questiona about the integration in active directory. I recently updated to Lion (most certainly without proper risk analysis on the consequences...)
First:
How can one connect to a windows share?
If trying in finder and CMD+k "smb://server/share" a message appears stating i have insufficient rights.
Great, in Snow Leopard one was presented a credentials window, where is it gone? (as most macbook users wont join the domain completely...)
Next try: "smb://DOMAIN;User@server/share" same result...
Second:
Is there any support for DFS (Distributed File System) included in Lion? This would be _very_ much appreciated!
Thanks for your help (hopefully)

Hi JFlynn12,
Are you using fully qualified DNS name for the server?
ie:
if your realm is domain.company.com then your FQD for the server would typically be server.company.com. or server.domain.company.com . this is of corse assuming your DNS is properly set for the DNS / DHCP server. x.x.x.x => server.company.com and server.company.com => x.x.x.x .
With that in mind you would expect smb://server.company.com or smb://server.domain.company.com
give it a try, let me know if it works.
