Automate install...

Hi all,
I am trying to build an Automator workflow to install (actually to copy) an application to the Application folder of a computer, and copy a link to a website onto the desktop folder of the remote computer also. For some reason I can only get the application to copy, but when the workfolw gets to the copy the link it gets an error.
Any ideas? Or example workflows you might have are welcome.
Thanks,
Kurtis

How are you deploying the EXE?
From the command line you can use the following script to
install Flash Player EXE:
\install_flash_player_active_x.exe
For silent installation:
\install_flash_player_active_x.exe /q
In addition check out AppDeploy. It's a good resource for
deployment questions.

After upgrading to Firefox 36.0.4, it automatically installed noscript

After upgrading to Firefox 36.0.4, it removes all my existing add-on extension.
In addition, "noscript" was automatically installed and there is no way to remove it.
The "noscript" add-on does not show up in any of the add-on extension for me to disable/remove it.
I even tried adding noscript from the add-on so that the noscript add-on shows up in the
firefox extension page so that I could remove it but that does not remove the
original noscript that comes with Firefox 36.0.4
Hopefully there is a way for user to remove this and it is not part of Firefox 36.0.4.
At least allow user the options of using it or remove it.

<blockquote>
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

I am using Firefox 3.6.8. Oddly, my problem appeared a few hours PRIOR to Firefox automatically installing the latest updates (the week ending 7/23), not afterwards. The problem is this: the browser continues to display tabs, the reload/home/history/favorites icons, URL field and Google search field while in full-screen mode, so it's not really full-screen anymore. How can I correct this?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?

Can I maually check for updates but prevent them from being automatically installed if it turns out one is available?
Background:
In options I have "check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them" ticked. This works fine, in that I periodically receive a notice of an available update, and it will ask me whether I want to I want to install it.
But there are certain times -- for reasons I won't go into here (unless requested as part of seeking a solution) -- where I want to manually check for new versions, but RETAIN the ability to decide whether or not to install it. But if I click Help/About Firefox/Check for Updates, and it finds an update, it will immediately proceed to install it without asking for permission. While that seems quite inconsistent with my update preferences in Options, it is apparently normal behavior as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version#w_how-do-i-manually-check-for-updates.
So is there any way I can manually check for new-update availability but then refuse the update if I so choose? Once an unwanted install begins, I'm concerned that if I click cancel I could end up with a partial installation or some "messed up," duplicated or corrupted FF files (e.g., multiple versions appended with (1), (2) etc, similar to what sometimes confusingly happens when I do an XP System Restore).
Thanks.

I think what needs to be made very clear here is that when a user clicks on "check for updates" the software should bloody well CHECK for updates and most certainly SHOULD NOT proceed to download and apply any updates. this is misleading and intrusive.
I just wanted to check if there was an updated version but I DID NOT want to actually update at that moment. the software downloaded data, costing me money and tried to apply the update which could have potentially messed up my settings if I had not checked everything was ok first.
I actually discovered how to prevent the update by searching through windows and manually deleting the files but why should anyone have to go to such lengths?
the software should simply do as it is asked, not do things that have most certainly not been asked.

HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.

Today I think firefox automatically installed a new version and after that it said my adobe flash was old so I had to update that. Now I can't open links in a new window.

Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically. 
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85 
If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel:

You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.

Reader will not automatically install updates on Windows 7

I have looked through the forums and have not seen this exact symptom mentioned:
"Automatically install updates" does not seem to work correctly on Windows 7. The updates download and I see the "update is ready to install" bubble in the system tray repeatedly. However, the updates never seem to install. I've seen this on more than one Windows 7 machine (it works ok on XP). I suppose this could be something particular to our environment, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to look next. Leaving the system "idle" does not seem to help and the behavior does persist after a reboot.
(I'm running Process Monitor right now and see AdobeARM.exe occasionally and successfully creating and exiting a thread, but not touching any files or registry entries.)
I enabled this setting via the registry -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM]
"iCheck"=dword:00000003
- and can see in the GUI that it has taken effect.
I do see some files in this directory - does this look correct?

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks - Andy

Some additional information. I'm seeing "GetLastError(): 0x2 - The system cannot find the file specified" in c:\users\(me)\appdata\local\temp\AdobeARM.log. But even using Process Monitor, it's not clear to me which file cannot be found.
Still seems to me that updater is downloading the update but never trying to apply it. The most recent thing I have tried is to quit AdobeARM gracefully and restart it. That does seem to have reduced the number of subdirectories in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Reader\9.3\ARM\ to only one (previously there had been one subdirectory per run).

I wish to use the previous version not the one that has today been automatically installed. My settings were to let me know and I decide to install when I'm ready, how do I go back. This because one of the previous Plugins does not work with this version, and they have no fix for it yet!

HT4589 should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

Installing 10.0.7 negates the need to install previous updates. Just install it (it will upgrade your projects to a newer format as well, from memory).
Thankfully, the days of doing it the way you were thinking are well behind us.

Will Firefox 4 AUTOMATICALLY install over version 3.6.17

23/May/2011 5:57
Will Firefox 4 AUTOMATICALLY install over version 3.6.17? Will **all of** the add-ons and plugins work? How steep is the learning curve?
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

Click Help | Check For Updates. The next menu will display a list of add-ons which won't work with the new version. The update is automatic apart from that.
If you find you don't like the layout of the new version, here are some tips to make it look like the version you're using now. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there. 
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ 
See screenshot. Both top and bottom views are FF4.

Enable "Automatically Install Updates" on Custom Reader XI Install

Hi,
How would one go about enabling "Automatically Install Updates" in Preferences to be the default value for "Check for Updates" in a custom installation for Adobe Reader XI? I've used the customization wizard, but the only setting built in that I see is to disable updates all together. Thank you!

No idea, but I'm shocked this hasn't been an option yet.
Adobe is *so* close to being where I want them to be in regards to automatic updates in many regards.
Flash automatically updates itself flawlessly...*except* that users are spammed with an "upgrade now" box when it's a x or y version level upgrade. ( ex. 11.4 -> 11.5 ) I really just want it to upgrade. Don't even talk to my users. They don't have Admin anyhow.
As for Acrobat and Reader, it seems they have the option to silently upgrade without admin privledges now, BUT, it doesn't seem to be possible to set this with Adobe's own Group Policy, which is weird. It also seems you are unable to automatically select it after a silent install for when the machine is off a domain. The Adobe Customization wizard doesn't even seem to address this.

Application is not automatically installed on iOS device.

Sorry for my English.
When I click Publish in Flash CC my application is not automatically installed on my iOS device.

I'm remove app and tried to publish in Flash CC again.
Now Flash CC automatically install IPA when I click Publish.

Compaq Presario CQ62 DVD not working after Windows 7 automatic install of upgrades

The DVD in my Compaq CQ62 stopped working after Windows 7 automatically installed updates. The driver seems to be corrupted. When I open Device Manager, the DVD comes up as hp DVD RW AD-7701H SATA CdRom Device and the device status displays...A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32).. There are two drivers installed--cdrom.sys from Microsoft, File Version 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255) and PxHlpa64.sys File Version 2.03.32a from Sonic Solutions. If anyone knows the link to download the new driver or how to resolve this problem please let me know.

We are not sure what might have caused this issue. You may try removing the affected filter drivers and check. This has helped few.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs.

"Automatically install new apps" not working

I've got "Automatically install new apps" checked on my ipod touch 4g, but it hardly ever does what it says. For example, I just downloaded three new apps to my computer and then did a Sync operation on ipod none of the new apps showed up. On the App List, they each showed the button as Install. When I pressed the Install button on the App List for each of the affected apps, they then installed on the next Sync.
Just to keep me guessing, new apps WILL occasionally install correctly, but I've never figured out what magic circumstance triggered the proper behavior.
Ideas?

did you upgrade to 1.1.3 BEFORE you purchased the new apps? You must upgrade first b/c the apps are in the free upgrade.. all you are purchasing is an unlock type of file to open the new apps... what u need to do is probably reset your ipod to factory now, and then update it... then sync last.. that should get them working... you don't have to repurchase them again
