Appv 4.6 SP3 and the Metro Interface.

Hello forum,
I am about to deploy App-V 4.6 SP3 clients to Windows 8.1 workstations.  I am unable for commercial and logistical reasons to trade up to App-V 5.  
Does anyone have any resources or guidance documentation on how to delivery application to Windows 8.1 workstations and manipulate the Metro interface?  As in creating tiles when the application is delivered and removing them if revoked.
Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.
regards
Graham Clarke

There shouldn't be any problem at all. As Windows uses the user's start menu as a source for icons, it should work.
Remember that win 8.1 does not show new tiles automatically, but they have to be added from the lsit of availabe applications. http://stealthpuppy.com/customize-the-windows-default-profile/ talks
about that

  • Hello! Prompt, if after the arrival in other country to get local SIM a card and to insert it in iPhone, it thus will change the options and the language interface?

    Hello! Prompt, if after the arrival in other country to get local SIM a card and to insert it in iPhone, it thus will change the options and the language interface?

    It should automatically ajust but you may not be able to use it if the country you're going to uses a different network service. The two main services are CDMA and GSM. iPhone 4S can connect to both, but iPhone 4's come in separate CDMA and GSM models. USA, China, Egypt and some other countries use CDMA so if you bought your iPhone from one of these countries, it will not work in most European countries or Australia because they use GSM

  • Are test builds of Firefox with the metro interface avaiiiable anywhere?

    Mercurial and the wiki both show development has continued on the 'win8 app' style interface for Firefox, but I can't seem to access it through either the current aurora or beta releases.
    Is there a way to get a build with 'the interface formerly known as Metro' without having to build from source myself? Or are the features there, and I'm simply derping hardcore?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    hello Axiomatic, development on the ui formerly known as metro has been ceased by mozilla due to low user interest unfortunately:
    https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/
    the code may live on in certain code repositories but there are no current test builds making use of it...

  • How to internationalize BPM Notifications and the User Interfaces ?

    Hi masters.
    Could anyone say me the better way to internationalize, translate the texts of the BPM Notifications and Adobe Forms and WebDynpro user interfaces ?

    Hi Lehcim,
    Have a look at the src\bpmn folder of your process. For example if your process is called demoprocess, you'll find demoprocess.bpmn.xlf file there.
    If you open that file it should be opened with the S2X editor. Have a look at the Resource Text Tab, you'll find all the texts of your process there. That means e.g. Activity names etc. but also the Texts you have used in your Notification activities.
    Internationalisation works now like the aforementioned WebDynpro internationalisation.
    In short terms: you copy the xlf file, add the iso language code (e.b. demoprocess.bpmn_de.xlf), then open the new xlf file and translate the texts.
    Just post again if my explanation wasn't clear enough.
    Cheers, Marcel

  • Installing Logic and the audio interface

    I will finish reading all the manuals one day soon… but meanwhile, and because I haven’t found anything on the subject yet, can anyone please tell me if I should I install Logic first and then install the Audio Interface (MOTU 828 Mk3), or should it be the other way around? Or is it of any difference??
    (I know with Cubase u must install the Audio interface first – but that’s a totally different scenario)
    Thanks

    Install both, in whichever order you prefer, then restart and configure *Audio MIDI Setup*, and/or any dedicated MOTU software (drivers, control panel) and Logic (audio and MIDI preferences/settings).

  • Novell Client 2 SP3 and the inability to log in the Win7

    Novell Client 2 SP 3 for Windows 7 64 bit and the inability to log into the desktop for a "NEW" user
    My issue is that If the username exist already in Windows 7, I can log into Novell and the Window 7 desktop will load
    HOWEVER if the username doesn't exist and I attempt to log in, I'm able to log into Novell Client
    BUT I get prompted with another window titled Log on to this Computer with a check box Change your Windows password to match your Novell Password after success login.
    1) I insert the password and
    2) check the box
    The Result is a line that says The Local computer username or password is not valid
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated

    Sorry, but that is even less clear. I'll make some assumptions.
    * You have a Win7 PC.
    * The user already has an account on the PC, but they have never
    logged into it.
    * When they login for the first time, they get an error that states
    the username or password is not avalid.
    Sounds like the user is using the wrong username or password.
    In your first post you state:
    "BUT I get prompted with another window titled log on to this Computer
    with a check box Change your Windows password to match your Novell
    Password after success login?"
    At that point you must enter the password assigned to the account on
    the PC. Depending upon how you created the account, it may not be the
    same as thier eDirectory password.
    If that doesn't help, try explaining again...or maybe someone else
    will jump in that understands what you are trying to do.

  • Exception Declaration and the Public Interface

    What is the connection between a method , exception declaration ( throw ) and public interface. Does every method has an implicit public interface ?? Is list of thrown exceptions, part of a method&rsquo;s public interface ?

    sagararya wrote:
    So, how do we know that some method throws an exception that we have to catch?Via the throws clause.
    [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/exceptions/index.html]
    Just as a method must specify what type and how many arguments it accepts and
    what is returned, the exceptions that a method can throw must be declared (unless the
    exceptions are subclasses of RuntimeException). Also those that are subclasses of Error need not be declared.
    The list of thrown exceptions
    is part of a method&#8217;s public interface.Ah, now I see what you mean. Where did you read that? I don't recall having ever heard the phrase "public interface" used like that.
    The above paragraph is from the book, Osborne_Java, written by James Kussow.. Ok.
    Can anybody explain me the 4th line in the above paragraph, starting from "The list of thrown exceptions ... "
    The list of thrown exceptions is part of a method&#8217;s public interface.
    The throws keyword is used as follows to list the exceptions that a method can throw:What part do you not understand? Read the tutorial I linked, and if something is still not clear, ask your specific question.
    Personally I think the phrase "public interface" is misleading here. If that's what you're hung up on, don't be. It doesn't mean "public" in the sense of Java's "public" access modifier. It just means the list of exceptions is part of what callers of the method know about it.
    EDIT: Oops. Too late.

  • LRCC/LR6 Touchscreen issues in both the new "touch interface" and the standard interface.

    Currently there is no way to add local adjustments via a touchscreen (Acer R7, Windows 8.1). With the new features added for touch the only things that happens when I touch or swipe on the photo are setting flags, zooming, and advancing to the next photo.This is the same behavior whether I'm in the new touch interface or the standard one. I had no issues adding or editing graduated filters, radial filters, adjustment brushes, etc with the touchscreen in Lightroom 5. Also touch doesn't register within the tone curve.

    Yes, Adobe, please fix this!!!
    I have a 27" touchscreen monitor and previously had no problem applying brush adjustments in LR5 by applying my finger onto the screen, thereby giving me enhanced accuracy.  Suddenly, with LR6/LRCC, the same action yields the virtually useless result of advancing to the next image. 
    This is exceptionally stupid!

  • PowerShell, LDAP, and the IADsLargeInteger Interface.

  • Metro interface generation and new users / long logintimes

    One of the biggest problems with windows 8 and 8.1 on a domain, is the time it takes to create the metro interface for each new user that logs on the machine. In a public school, this makes the login time first time verry long, and since students never use
    the same machine twise it has to generate the metro interface everytime. Will windows 10 have better control over this? why not let metro app redirect just like the startmenu ?
    I have never managed to find a solution to the above problem on windows 8.1, so i were hoping microsoft would do something here, to make windows 10 more usable in schools and other places where users change computers offen.

    Hi, 
    I believe BOTH microsoft and Lenovo have a responsibility to make their computers useful and accessable to AVERAGE USERS.  You should not have to reseach how to use Windows 8 on the internet to figure how to use the it. 
    When there is a problem with either the hardware or understanding the Operating System, Lenovo has a reponsibility to help the user.  A lost customer is a lost customer period and blaming it on Microsoft will not help Lenovo. 
    My specific problems with Lenovo were.
    Their description of how to use the operating system was buried as an  option under "Lenovo /Companion".  They should have come up automatically as part of the initial boot up proceedure. 
    When I found the "How to DO windows 8"  screen, it said click the "Learn More"  button.  There was no "LEARN MORE BUTTON".  Instead I happend to notice a small grey line was a hot spot.  The button did not display for some reason. Don't they test these things.
    The tutorials were to small and to fast to actually see what was being done.
    The tutorials were made for touch screen or mouse interface.  They were not set up for the touch pad that most people would be using.   They touch pad gestures are helpful once you know them but maddenting when strange things happen and you don't know why. 
    When I called Lenovo support, the first level support person did not know much about the operating system, he had to look up the answer to every question.   The supervisor was downright rude.  
    Lenovo and Microsoft must do better if they want to stay competative. 

  • (MacOSX Lion 10.7.4) The problem of connecting the audio interface (USB and FireWire), grained acoustic distortion!?

    When you connect the audio interface to usb or firewire grained acoustic distortion, there is no loud noise in the acoustics! In the old "iMac24 Snow Leopard" was not like this!
    Just bought the iMac21 lion, installed the new drivers and the two interfaces of different firms is presented, this acoustic problem.
    I understand it comes from a usb and firewire!?
    Help Me_____
    Sorry for my english

    Well, it's been a few days and with no response I thought I'd look for another solution. I've been trying this software called iVPN, apparently it's like a front-end to OS X's built-in VPN server. Anyway, I disabled the VPN Server from the Server app, turned on iVPN and was VPN-ing from my iPhone over 3G in notime. It's a great app, though it kinda ***** that the server can't do what it's built to do. Since VPN was the big reason I got Server in the first place, I'll probably uninstall it and stick with OS X's built-in file sharing and iVPN.

  • Metro Interface

    Hello!
    I've installed Microsoft Techical Preview (Windows 10) on my notebook today, and I'm liking it.
    By I can't find where I can enable the Metro Interface on this release.
    It was released? The Metro UI is enabled on this release?
    Thank you!
    My regards.

    Tablets aren't the focus of this release.
    It's supposed to represent a return to serious computing.
    Clearly Microsoft needs to create two different systems.

  • I just installed Photoshop and the menus are tiny, unusable

    I just installed Photoshop and the program interface is tiny, I need a magnifying glass to see the menus. Windows 8. All my other apps installed fine. Why would Photoshop do this?
    It's basically unusable.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for moving this topic...I couldn't find it in the Photoshop General Discussion though, so I'm replying here. I managed to find a workaround (not a solution). After finally finding another text adjustment setting*, and despite warnings from my computer, I was able to find a resolution combination that worked, and made Photoshop look normal. I looked at my other (almost identical) laptop where Photoshop IS working and used that resolution.
    (Why couldn't a single support person from four companies, in hours of chats and calls, think of that?) After changing the resolution, things got huge, but a popup came up saying 250%, which altered me. I changed it to 125%, then all was good.
    (* the "windows 8 display setting screens do not show this adjustment, you have to go to another control panel window to see the text adjustment....Windows 8 is so cryptic.),
    Hopefully this will save some other ******* days of headache. Unfortunately I can't run at my new laptop's resolution but at least I can get back to work.
    Default setting - 3200x1800  250% text size
    New setting - 1600x900  125% text size
    Maybe Adobe could fix this problem. All my other Adobe apps look fine at 3200x1800.
    Thanks.
