B Installing 9 brings up DOS SETUP command window then fails

Installing 9 starts and then a DOS SETUP command box appears, asking to insert Disk 1 DOS Install floppy in drive a: It then fails to do the 9 install, no matter what I do. It simply fails ! I tried installing in SAFE MODE, but still does the same thing. Cannot get any help on this from several XP forums, or from Microsoft. Any ideas ?

Errol, you've asked this question several times without getting a
response - presumably because nobody can fathom your setup.
If the PATH command in your boot sequence points to a directory
containing a 'setup.exe', it looks like the installer picks that one
instead of the right one. Try temporarily renaming the wrong
setup.exe or modifying PATH to force the installer to look in the
right place.

Installing 9 brings up DOS SETUP command window !! Cannot continue

I tried to install Reader 9. Just after the install starts, the command window appears with a title C:\DOS\SETUP and says "To install MS-DOS, Insert Disk 1 in drive A and press CNTRL+ALT+DEL. This will restart your computer and begin the Setup program. Or press ENTER to return to your command prompt."
If I press Enter, the Adobe install simply stops and I am returned to the Windows desktop !!??
My computer is a multiboot setup with XP Vista DOS and Ubuntu, all on seperate partitions. The default system is XP.

This is boot.ini on my C drive.
(The system actually boots via the Ubuntu partition, the picks up the Vista booting file)

I am unable to activate an old windows copy of CS3 that I have. Did previously install it on other computers which I then failed to deactivate before discarding them. What can I do now?

why can't you install it?
if it's because you've used your max of 2 current activations and need to deactivate (and you'll see that message if that's the problem), contact adobe support - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html
otherwise, explain.

Acrobat 9 does not install after Microsoft ODBC Setup on windows server 2003

I recently downloaded Acrobat Reader 9 from Adobe website. The package was consisted of one file AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe with an appx. size of 33.4MB. When i double click this file Microsoft ODBC Setup is started instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 setup. I clicked next and in the end receive ODBC has been successfully installed and after that Acrobat Reader 9 setup is never started. Tried several times but the same thing and unable to install the reader on this windwos server 2003+sp1.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem?

Installing Developer Suite 10g R2 on Windows Vista failed !!

It seems Oracle has a new challenge of producing a new edition of Developer Suite that will install on Windows newest falvour, Vista. I installed Oracle db 11g on my Vista O.S. and everything runs normally. But my Developer Suite 10g R2 failed to launch setup.exe, giving me the following error:
Checking installer requirements...
Checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2. Actual 6.0
Failed <<<<
Exiting Oracle Universal Installer, log for this session can be found at C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007-11-16_06-40-54PM.log
Please press Enter to exit...
Any idea to solve the problem? Or it's all that I have to wait Oracle for an 11g Developer Suite version that is supported by Vista??!
Thanks!

Either your tnsnames.ora file that Forms is using is not set up properly to connect to your database, or else you need to install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
I have set up laptops with a Loopback Adapter, so Forms will connect regardless of the Windows computer name. If the computer name is included in the tnsnames entry for your on-board database, then you probably don't need it.
When you installed the 11g database, the installation set up a tnsnames.ora file with an entry for that database. First, try copying the entry into the corresponding tnsnames.ora file used by Forms.
In my system, I have four distinct tnsnames.ora files, each one is a duplicate of the others. Whenever I need to change an entry, I do it in one of them, then do a Save As three times to replace the other three. I use these comment lines at the top of the file to help me:
#-- For reference, save as: C:\oracle\tnsnames___ref.ora
#-- For Forms6i,   save as: C:\oracle\orant\NET80\admin\tnsnames.ora
#-- For Forms10,   save as: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
#-- For SQL Plus10,save as: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.oraWithin the laptop running withOUT the loopback adapter, this is the entry for the on-board Oracle 10 database:
#-- Laptop           Could use: (HOST = Steve-PC) / 127.0.0.1
ORCL =          (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)
                                  (HOST = 127.0.0.1)
                                  (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)
                          (SERVICE_NAME = orcl) ) )Note the replacement of the HOST entry from the Windows computer name with the generic IP address for the local platform.

Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Access to Previously-saved SQL in SQL Commands Window

Hi all,
If I've saved some SQL in the SQL Commands window, shouldn't that be available to other developers when they click on the Saved SQL tab? I saved a sample query and one of my other developers doesn't see it. I don't see any setting available in the developer account that controls whether or not the account can see others' saved SQL.
If this isn't allowed, then I don't really see the point of the Owner drop-down in the Saved SQL tab.
Any advice?
Thanks!!
John

Hi Sc0tt,
I think you may be referring to the Schema drop-down that appears in the upper-right area in SQL Commands, Object Browser, etc. That isn't the drop-down I'm referring to. I'm referring to the Owner drop-down that appears in the lower-half of the SQL Commands window then you click the Saved SQL link. I understand that to be the ApEx developer who saved the SQL - nothing to do with database schemas.
I saved some SQL using the Save button assuming I could tell my other developers that if they click Saved SQL they'd see it listed. They don't, and the only choices in the Owner drop-down for any of us are "-- All Users --" or our own user. I don't see any setting I can change for our accounts to allow/prevent seeing others' Saved SQL, so either it's a bug, or if it's intentional that a user can only bring back their own saved SQL then there doesn't appear to be any point in having an Owner drop-down.
Thanks,
John

Error while installing Microsoft Identity Extensions Setup during installation of SharePoint Foundation 2013 on Windows Server 2012

Hi All,
When i try to manually (no internet connection on the server) install SharePoint 2013 Prerequisites on Windows Server 2012 I get the below error
I have installed .Net Framework 3.5, 4.0 and Windows Identity Foundation using Add server roles or features from the server manager.
From Software & Hardware requirements for SharePoint 2013 give
Prerequisites for SharePoint 2013 I can see that the identity extensions are available only of Windows Server 2008 R2 and not for windows server 2012. Can you please provide the link for windows server 2012?
I have installed all the prerequisites required except Microsoft Identity Extensions.

I fixed it by installing Microsoft Identity extensions from command line, please find command line below.
C:\Windows\System32>msiexec.exe /i "C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinstallerfiles\MicrosoftIdentityExtensions-64.msi" /quiet /norestart
Note: In the above command C:\SharePoint2013ServerFiles\prerequisiteinsTallerfiles is the path where I had downloaded all the prerequisites for SP2013
This will install Microsoft Identity Extensions and creates registry entries, which will help the SharePoint 2013 Prerequisite installer to complete the setup

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.
I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

How to setup the windows installed pxi to RT target

how to setup the windows installed pxi to RT target?

Ranjith,
I think the answer for your 1st que is NO. In the sense, you can run the code, but it may not work precisely as it is supposed to...
A target can be said to be an RT, if & only if it has an RTOS installed in it, not just Windows, which is not a real-time OS.
Youcan run the existing code in Windows, but as I said earlier, it may not give you the actual results.
Finally, hereafter, pl dont use the term 'box' for a PXI. It is a chassis with a main module that runs on Windows or an embedded RT processor/conrtoller that runs on an RTOS like VxWorks or Phsr Lap.
Hope this helps you to some extent...

Host: suppress DOS command window

hi,
i have programmed the host command statement in a *.pll for running a batch file
my.pll
host('c:\test\my.bat');
my.bat
rwrun60.exe report=c:\test.rdf desname=c:\xyz\01.pdf ...
rwrun60.exe report=c:\test.rdf desname=c:\xyz\02.pdf ...
Windows opens a DOS command window box in which i can see the running commands. it is possible to suppress this window? my.bat should be run in background.
regards,
tom rakete

Use the no_screen parameter in your host command.
Note that you will have to rewrite this stuff differently if you upgrade to a current version of forms.

WIndows won't install after inital DOS install...

So I have looked over these message boards and haven't seen my particular problem:
After I run Boot Camp, I put in my Windows XP SP 3 disk, and everything seems to work fine. The ugly, blue windows install window opens, and ask for the install location and what file system to use (FAT32, right?) and everything goes through. But then, when the computer reboots to do the final install where you enter your CD key and set up everything, I get an error. The computer does this; it reboots, then it displays the "Press any key to boot from CD...." thing, then when it should load the final install, the error: "Disk error" is displayed and below that it says, Press any key to reboot, but my system is frozen and stuck.
At first I thought it was my HDD, but I have installed 2 new ones and nothing. Then I thought it was my install CD, but I have tried 3 different copies, of 2 different XPs (both SP 3) and still nothing.
All this started happening about the time Snow Leopard came out. I don't remember exactly when, but I know I had installed Snow Leopard, then my mac stopped working, so I reformatted and then I was unable to install XP altogether.
Is it Snow Leopard, or is it because it is XP SP 3?

Hi,
sounds like you didn't reformat the Windows partition during the Windows installation like the BootCamp Setup Guide tells: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1722
Hope it helps
