Building offline installation medium?

Folks;
asides my notebook, I also want to have archlinux installed on my home station but as I learnt yesterday it seems my internet connection is somewhat slower there. Unfortunately, the archlinux installation ISO is just around 200 megs at max, just including the base system but no X, XFCE, browser and the like. So I considering the idea of downloading all the files here and just installing them at home, but my archlinux experience yet is to be improved so I am not sure what's the best way following the Arch Way of doing things:
- Would just dumping all the stuff in /var/cache/pacman/pkg to some medium and installing them manually do?
- Is there a way of building a "custom" installation medium containing more than just base, libs, dev, ...?
- What to read to learn how to get this done?
TIA and best regards,
Kristian

For building your own CD, look at larch.
What you can also do is download the packages you need elsewhere and put it onto a CD or USB (and if you do it using pacman then yes, they'll all be located in /var/cache/pacman/pkg in an installable format. pacman -Sw is a useful command for just downloading without installing). Install with the latest iso and then "pacman -A" all the files you've pre-downloaded.

Flash Builder 4.7 Premium offline installer

Hi,
Where can I find offline installer for Flash Builder 4.7 Premium. I have to backup all application installers in my company (regarding web development) and I can't find it anywhere on adobe.com. Is there any chance to get installer after downloading it via Adobe Creative Cloud app or is there direct link?
Medyk

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your reply. we purchased the upgrade license directly from Adobe web site and I can only see the order of the upgrade license from https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html.
The original Flash builder 4.0 Premium was purchased through a reseller our company normally use back in 2010. The Software license certificate shows TLP 5.0 LICENSE PROGRAM - CORPORATE. We do have either 4 or 6 seat license. We only have 1 developer left for this project so only 1 upgrade license was purchased.
Does our Flash builder 4.0 premium license qualify for the upgrade offer? If not how do we upgrade?

Offline Installation of Large Group Packages

Hey. I'm trying to install xorg and fluxbox offline. I followed the wiki article about Offline Installation and everything works fine up until the pacman -S command. First I tried without building a repository, then with, but neither approach worked.
I get past the package list confirmation and then pacman fails looking for the first package from the ftp repositories. Everything is setup correctly and the repository and pacman.conf are all working fine. Is there any way to do this without building a massive pacman -S statement listing all the packages?
Mike

I think you're have something set up wrong, since if you've downloaded the packages to the pacman's cache directory, it automatically picks them up. In other words, it tries to download *only if* it doesn't find them in cache.
So for instance:
- with the default setup, if you download the packages to /var/cache/pacman/pkg, it installs fine
- with your custom repo, make sure that the repo is listed first in pacman.conf (so that pacman associates the packages with your repo, not with [extra])

Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.2.2.0) (Build 6183)Installations

I clicked the Studio Edition:11.1.2.2.0 Windows Install Download File button from the Oracle JDeveloper 11g (11.1.2.2.0) (Build 6183)Installations page. After that I clicked Save and a window displayed with the % complete. It goes to 99% complete and 1 sec left and this seems to hang at that point. I've left it going for several minutes and then eventually cancelled it. I have the correct jdk version. Any suggestions?

You mean the download hangs at 99%?
That its usually the point when your virus checker starts its work. Some such programs are known to have trouble with large archive files containing many files.
Try to download with three virus checker turned off.

Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
Please, any help with be appreciated!

Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?

Error while building application installer and exe

i had tried to build an installer and exe for my appication which application and exe building is successfull. but when we install it over the system it does not read analog input and digital inputs and showing NaN in the indicator,I have treid many a ways and this works after disabling the counter reading section which is used to read the pulses from the quadrature encoder. when i again include that particular section it shows the same error. also this entire code works beautifully without any error from our source code, what might be the possible cause , please help me,

Hi Kodee,
1) Are using error handling in your code? Are you getting any errors?
2) What version of LabVIEW are you using? If you are using 8.0 or newer, then you can build a debuggable executable:

How to Perform a "Clean Install" - Offline installer link not working...

The thread containing - "How to Perform a Clean Install of Flash Player in Mac OS X" - was an answer given by Mike M. several times in this forum. I attempted to access the "offline installer" link that was offered, but it does not seem to be working. Does anyone have an updated link to a functional offline installer that I can use to finally download Flash Player for Mac OS X v. 10.9.5?
I receive an error message stating "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation."
Many of the photography and game websites I use (almost all, actually) FP, and I would really love to get back to my daily routine soon!
Best Regards,
Mel R.

Hi Mel,
The correct link is posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page, in the 'Still having problems section'. The download links recently changed and it appears the FAQ was not updated. I have updated the with the help page URL as it's less likely that this link will change, and if it does, a re-direct to the new location would be implemented.

Build an installer including folders that aren't in project?

My VIs work in my project. I am programmatically deploying two libraries. When I build an application and run that the libraries don't deploy even though they are "Always Included" in the application build. I think this is because they reside on my computer in folders and the application builder doesn't know what to do with them. All that doesn't really matter to me because if I manually move the folders to the location where the built application resides, it works as expected and deploys the libraries. The problem is when I want to build an installer for someone else to run on a remote computer. I can't choose the folders with the libraries in them and where they should install to when I build the installer. What am I expected to do?

I've had similar experiences with getting non-referenced files included in the application builder. The solution I found was to create a new folder in the destinations tab of the app builder and select all the non-referenced files to be placed there in the source file settings tab. I've only used this solution with an application builder, and have never created an installer program, but hopefully it will work for this too.
Hope this helps,
Andy

[SOLVED] Offline Installation Help

I'm new to Arch. It's just 2 days since I've downloaded the iso. I installed it and it worked really nice. However, I messed up the system trying out some experiments.
Now I want to reinstall it. I have my /var/cache/pacman/pkg folder backed up. Is there a way I can skip the humongous download and install these? My ISP gives me really low bandwidth speeds. Thanks in advance.

I always do offline installation. Use repoadd to create your custom repo on your dvd and install it when required. Check Pacman Tips for more details.

Include other directories in build or installer

The engineer I am writing this program for hates to dig around for files so the software specification call for several config files to be found off the root directory.
C:/Program_Name/System_Config
C:/Program_Name/Instrument_Config
C:/Program_Name/Test_Scripts
How can I include these files in a build or installer so they are created on install and default config files placed in the proper directories?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Look in the Destinations Category in the dialog to create a new installer. The build specifications for an installer by default puts the executables into [Program Files]\YourProjectName where [Program Files] is a token that specifies whatever is the Program Files folder for the PC you are installing to. There are numerous other tokens for other paths such as Windows, System, Desktop, ....
I would first try to put in a new folder under the [Windows Volume] branch of the tree. (There is a New Folder Icon at the bottom of the tree.) I'm assuming Windows Volume is going to be the root of whatever drive you have Windows installed on, which should be C:\
You could also add a new directory such as c:\YourProjectName which would put an absolute path for installing the executable to.

Offline installation of Adobe Reader & Flash

We just spent the weekend at work running Windows update, office update and updating Java, Adobe Flash and Adobe Reader on all machines.
In the interest of not going insane and doing it again ever, I would like to create an auto update script for everything.
I am working on WSUS for the windows and office updates and have Java sorted, but I cant find any info on doing offline installs for Reader and Flash?
Can anyone tell me:
1) Where can I download an offline installation of both Flash & Reader
2) Where I can find info for command line installation/uninstallation.
thanks
DJMc

Thank you for reply Pat.
I did see v.10 of Acrobat in Greek but I really need v. 11 to be consistent. I also checked the MUI version of v.11 and it does not have Greek either.
Did Acrobat stop to support Greek Language?
