Auto Install Plugin
Hi Everyone,
I am really hoping that someone can tell me if there is a way to auto-install the JMF mp3 plugin.
http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/mp3/download.html
Because part of it is native code, I can't 'pack' it into my applet as a library. When my applet runs, could a dialog pop-up so it can be installed easily? How can I expect every user to go to the address above to install it manually?
Cheers,
Crispin
That sounds like a good idea... Unfortunately you have to select an OS from the website and click on 'i agree to the terms and conditions'... It might freak people out to have a Windows installer come up when they visit a website too -
Here's an idea:
Could I copy the 'JMF mp3' jar file directly into lib/ext on the users computer? If so, how do I found out where their Java is installed?
Cheers,
Crispin

Firefox frequently 'not responding' having auto-installed version 10 yesterday. No previous problems. Have disabled all plugins and uninstalled and then re-installed Firefox several times today. Problem persists making continued use of this browser very unlikely unless a quick solution is found! Can anyone help please?
Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

HPLIP auto install: does it work?
I just bought an HP printer. Then I was installing HPLIP during 2.5 days; more than expected. (Needless to say I was cursing HP the last day). Now I am happy to succeed, but I also feel that it was a good luck. I think this story should be shared.
I am a Linux user since 1998, of rather low geekness. Almost always I use precompiled binaries. Thus I hoped to use auto install (and ultimately did). Last years I use Debian.
It seems I understand now the origin of the problem. People of hplipopensource.com take the current release of Debian (among other distros), and adapt auto-installer to this release. After that, Debian people include this new version of auto-installer to the next release of Debian. And so on. As a result, the auto-installer never works! It always complains that this release is not supported yet.
I installed Debian 7.1 from my (somewhat old) DVDs. I instructed the installer not to use any network mirror. Do not laugh, this is essential. (When I did otherwise, I got Debian 7.4 instead of 7.1 - not supported yet...) According to this Debian release, the Installation Wizard gave me auto-installer 'hplip-3.14.1.run'. Running it I got a message: "Disable the CD sources in your apt sources list". Frankly, I use Synaptic rather than apt. Well, I've found this /etc/apt/sources.list and commented out all CD sources. Running hplip again I saw that it fails to install even gcc. Well, no wonder: no network mirror. I added a network mirror. The rest was rather easy.
So, I got the impression that a not-so-geeky Linux user, like me, have some positive, but rather small probability to pass through all timing conditions before selling his/her new HP printer. Indeed, if Linux is quite new, it is not yet supported. If it is a bit older than needed, a new hplip fails for this reason, while an old hplip does not support the brand new printer (I guess so; I did not try). And most importantly: the hplip site tells me that
Debian 7.1 supplies HPLIP 3.12.6 and it does support your printer.
As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP.
That is true; but it forgets to add that my distro contains an outdated version; it just does not work. What a catch!
Or maybe I am naive somehow? Others seem to feel better. What do I miss?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Wow, it does work, the HPLIP auto install!
See my session below.
The following five points appeared to be critical for me.
1. The hplip site says:
"Debian 7.1 supplies HPLIP 3.12.6 and it does support your printer. As the version of HPLIP supplied with your operating system supports your printer, you may continue to use that version of HPLIP". No, do not believe. Download the last version (in my case, hplip-3.14.1.run), later called "XXX.run".
2. Ensure that your repositories contain no CD/DVD (the auto-installer will warn you), and do contain "main" and "contrib" (the auto-installer will not warn you); "non-free" is not needed. I did it via Synaptic Package manager (Settings->Repositories).
3. Run the XXX.run file by a command line "sh XXX.run" issued in the terminal window under GUI (not the console). Do not be root, and do not use "sudo". Rather, you need to know the root password.
4. You'll get an error message like this: "error: debian-7.4 version is not supported, so all dependencies may not be installed. However trying to install using debian-7.2 version packages".
Do not bother too much; in my case this was harmless. Answer "y".
5. The final error message "RuntimeWarning: PyOS_InputHook is not available for interactive use of PyGTK set_interactive(1)" is also harmless.
After the message
"PRINTER SETUP. Please make sure your printer is connected and powered on at this time"
you should get a graphical panel
"HP Device Manager - Setup. Device discovery".
Do the needed choice (in my case, USB), click "Next". You should get another graphical panel
"HP Device Manager - Plug-in Installer. Driver Plug-in Installation".
Choose "Download", click "Next" and be patient; in my case it took 5 minutes, with no visible progress. Next graphical panel:
"Driver Plug-in License agreement". Browse it to the end, click "Agree"; observe message "Plug-in installation successful", click "OK".
The last graphical panel: "HP Device Manager - Setup. Setup Device". Mark "Send test page", click "add printer" and hope for the best.

What triggers WebUtil auto-install?
We are trying out JInitiator 1.3.1.14 with our 9i Forms app as suggested by Pedro Garza to fix 9i Forms on XP: the even more final insult.
Unfortunately this seems to have broken the WebUtil download: neither the webutil.properties file nor the requisite DLL files are downloaded to JInit 1.3.1.14 directory. Not surprisingly this breaks the WebUtil functionality.
It's been a long time since I did it with JInitiator 1.3.1.9, but I recall that being a seamless process. Certainly I cannot find anything in the FamMan or the checklist that specified re-configuration for a new version of JInitiator.
It doesn't matter if the client PC had a previous version of JInitiator or is clean. Both fail to auto-install WebUtil.
By the way, the Java console shows that WebUtil.jar is being downloaded and RegisterWebUtil is called. There are no error messages in the console.
Cheers, APCWell I did try signing the 100 JAR with the 102 tools. Although that seemed to sign the JAR the Jar was rejected at load time (Java console snippet follows). I'm going to try the long way, using the JInit signing tools and see if that works better.
I am open to suggestions.
Cheers, APC

Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
What can I do?Regarding the Flash Player problem, disable Hardware Acceleration to circumvent driver incompatibilities.
Regarding the Flash Pro installation problems, post in the Flash forums or http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup -
Messages.app no longer connects to Jabber after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2
Messages.app no longer connects to my company's Jabber server after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2 (even though I never purchased that app). The Remote Desktop app can not be found anywhere on my machines.
I suspect the Remote Desktop update because Messages stopped connecting on my office MB Air after the update but still worked on my home iMac. Next day the iMac received the update and Messages stopped connecting on that machine too.
Messages attempts to connect for several minutes (it's been trying for 30 mins as I type this) and just hangs. Occasional I get the following error message:
Error: Messages lost the connection to the Jabber account 'account'. A network error occurred.
I've tried:
- Deleting and recreating the Jabber account in Messages.app
- Toggling on/off SSL (SSL required by our server)
- Toggling on/off auto detect server and port (port 5222 on our server)
- Deleting every plist, cache, etc., I could find in the Library for any IM client I've ever used
- Checked that Keychain trusts the Jabber server SSL certificate (it is a self signed cert)
- Tried connecting from three completely different networks including the company VPN
- Multiple PRAM resets
- Setup a Google Talk account in Messages - works fine
I'm at a loss...
KurtI installed and setup Adium. Adium works but Messages.app still does not connect to Jabber.

How to install PSE-12 x64 vs auto install of x32?
I believe I followed all directions for install of PSE-12 from the Adobe PSE-12 DVD, but the auto-install puts the PSE-12 x32 version rather than the x64 version on both of my computers. Computer-1 is an HP Pavillion Elite HPE 180t with 12GB of ram and an NVIDIA GPX 550i graphics card and is running Win-7 x64 with all Win-7 updates loaded. Computer-2 is a new Acer Aspire V5-573P-9600 with 8GB of ram, Intel i7 CPU and Intel HD 4500 graphics adapter and is running x64 Win-8.1. Both of these computers appear to comply with the hardware requirements needed to run the x64 version of PSE-12. I upgraded to PSE-12 for the added features and capability ot run in x64 format as I do with Adobe Premier Elements. Is there a way that I can force an install of PSE-12 x64 on my two computers? Thanks in advance for any insight or assistance with my install issue.
PSE12 is only available in 32 bit on Windows at present although a 64bit version is avaiable for Mac OSX. It will automatically install in Program Files (x86)
PRE12 is available in 64 bit and will install in Program Files. -
How to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
how to install plugin and exta filter in photoshop cs ? and any special filter for special effects ?
kindly recommend me any best one and tel me step by step how i will add more plugins n filtersA Plug_in normally come with an installer or install instructions. Check the documentation for the plug-in you trying to install. It sounds like you don't know what plug-ins you want to install. In that case you don't need to install any. At some point you may read about a plug-in and what it can do and feel you have a need for it. Then you will have a reason to install a plug-in that is not installed by default. There may also be a cost involved most worthwhile plug-ins are not free.
Adobe Optional Plug_ins downloads are Plugins Adobe want to remove from Photoshop and no longer install by default. Also at some point in time these will no longer install into the current Photoshop for Adobe will remove feature or interfaces the use. For example the CS5 optional plugins will install in Windows CS6 perpetual version 13.0.1.3 but not in Subscription version 13.1.2 or perpetual Mac version 13.0.6 fot its 64bit only and the Mac CS5 optional plug-in for Picture package is only a 32bit plug-in.
You will need to keep and maintain old versions of Photoshop if Adobe remove features you use in new versions of Photoshop. -
What is the correct way to determine the install location of Acrobat/Reader to install plugins?
We were previously using the following registry key to determine where we need to install our Acrobat/Reader plugin.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\%d\InstallPath
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\%d\InstallPath
(and append \plugin_ins to that result)
With Acrobat DC, I no longer see that registry key.
I was planning on changing our code to instead look here to determine the install paths:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Acrobat.exe\Path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\AcroRd32.exe\Path
Is this the recommended way of determining where to install plugins? I would rather not have our installation break when they update Acrobat/Reader the next time (for example maybe in the future they decide to change the executable name...)Enterprise Guide can be found at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/index.html (came right up on a web search for me). You want the information about product tracks and installer bit locations.

I'm trying to deploy an application to a user group with the option checked for "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application" but it never auto installs.
- The application is set to install to system whether the user is logged on or off.
- We do have user affinity, therefore the user does have a one or more primary devices setup.
- If I run the install manually, it will superseded and install the new application and uninstall the old applications.
- The estimated installtion time minutes is set to 0
- The maxmimum allowed run time is set to 120 minutes.
We're on version SCCM 2012 SP1.
My assumption of how it should work
If the user is logged in or NOT and it's during the maintenance window, it should auto install the application. Maybe I'm wrong.
Here's the scenario.
User JohnDoe has application Viewer 1.0 installed on his machine. He installed this app via the SCCM application catalog. We now need to deploy Viewer 2.0 of this application. I want to ensure when it's deployed it replaces Viewer 1.0 hence
the reason to check the "auto upgrade.."check box.
Here's what happens. In software center, it will pre-downlaod the software and then set the status to "Waiting for next maintenance schedule". The problem is that the status stays like this forever. We do have maintenance windows set
on the device collection that JohnDoe's primary device is part of. Here are our maintenance windows.
- Daily - 9PM to 5AM = 8 hours
- Weekly - Saturday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
- Weekly - Sunday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
Coordinated UTC is not checked.
The business hours in software center are set to 5am to 10pm.
One would assume that it would auto install during the night since we have a big maintenance windows. I checked the ServiceWindowmanager.log and it does seem to show the various maitnenance windows.
Here's what I've tried
- If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows. However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.
- If JohnDoe clicks install in Software center or application catalog, it works. There's nothing wrong with the packages. The issue seems to be related with the maintenance windows.
- If I disable the maintenance windows, then it seems to work but only when I'm logged in. It still does not work if I'm logged out. It only kicks off the installation when I login if it's not during the business hour set in software center.
We need the maintenance windows since we don't want windows patching to occur during the day.
- I searched and ran the report to ensure there's not another maintenance windows setup that would prevent this from installing.
Our current workaround
To ensure users are using the latest version, we deploy the application required for a couple of days, then delete that deployment once we reach a high 90%. The problem with that is if some computers are turned off, they would be using the older version
and it will never get upgraded unless the user installs it manually.
Has anyone encountered this? Any other log files I should look at? Anything else I should verify ? I know in SCCM 2012 R2, you can set the maintenance window to only apply this schedule to software update (patching) but that option doesn't seem
to be available in SCCM 2012 SP1.
Any help, suggestiong, I will take. Thanks.- If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows. However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.
Re-check your deployment, specially the user experience:
If you've checked the box next to "Software installation", it will install after the deadline has passed and ignores maintenance windows. Change the deployment to required and uncheck that box and the software should be installed according to your
maintenance windows. -
Hi,
I can't seem to install plugins. I know that you have to go to: Movies>Motion Templates>Effects. But the problem is that there isn't anything in my Motion Templates folder. Please help me as I kinda need the plugins to be installed.
Thanks, Meg.You haven't installed Motion (you don't need to) or installed templates before... It's not a big issue.
Whatever you lack, you can create. Inside the Motion Templates folder, create the folders: Effects, Generators, Titles, Transitions (make sure they're spelled correctly and case sensitive.)
For Templates to work, they must be installed inside "Categories" which are just another "layer" of folder. You can invent these as well. Try to name your categories something that will help you find the template you're installing. (Categories go inside the main effects folders listed above.)
After you create a category, move the entire effect folder into the category. These template folders contain a Motion file (.moef, .motn, .moti or .motr), two .pngs ("large.png and small.png) and optional .mov file and a Media folder. If any of the required files are missing, the template is likely not to work.
After you place the template in its destination folder, go into FCPX and try it out. If you cannot find it, there's one more step:
The Motion Templates folder and the Effects, Generators, Titles and Transitions folders require a .localized extention. You ADD the extension from each folder's Get Info dialog in the Name & Extension textbox:
Go back into FCPX and find the template...
The reason I laid the extension addition out as a separate step is that some people report that they do not have this issue. (I'm fairly sure, since 10.0.6, that the extensions are required though.) No other level of folder requires to be .localized. -
How to setup Server 2008-2012 R2 to auto-install 3rd party updates
I've been searching for about a month now on an easy way to install third party software updates for individual workstations using the company's server.
We have two, one is a 2008 server and the other is 2012 R2.
Is there any way I can set it up to where the updates will auto install without prompts or effecting productivity?Hi Rick
there is no way you can set this up using existing built-in tools inside windows server. You would need to setup your existing infrastructure using some 3rd party tools.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
