Changing installation path of the runtime? Install by User?

Hello,
I'm currently facing a situation where I need to deploy an
AIR application to users who do not have admin rights.
I know that AIR does not allow doing that. But I've tested
that one of the main thing preventing from installing AIR on this
definite environment is that writing is not allowed to program
files folder.
I've run tests using other install packaging tools and manage
to make it working perfectly by targeting mydoc folder instead of
program files folder and also by specifying a per user install.
Everything works fine (even more advanced features not possible
with the official installer like environment variables, patches...)
I wonder if there's a way to say AIR to be installed on a per
user base and to change the path of the runtime installation (this
may not break the update mechanism because as far as I tested it,
it just changes app information regarding its path).
I understand clearly why Adobe do not want to make AIR
standalone because it is against the entire focus of this
technology. But I've read that plenty of people are in situation
where they may use AIR to develop rich software application to
produce tools internally of a company, without having to go with
the expensive and time consuming process of going through the
regular IT installation procedure. On the one hand Adobe may loose
the advantage of having an entire company making AIR available on
their computers worldwide, on the other hand they may improve in
term of AIR latest version adoption and making this technology
considered lightweight, flexible and useful technology within big
international companies internal use. (and it may be a step before
the full adoption within the company?)
Thank you in advance for giving me the official approach on
this point.
Best regards.

This is a security feature, preventing scripts from accessing the full path of a file to be uploaded using <input type="file">.
In earlier versions of Firefox, your script might have asked the user's permission to access privileged information, but this feature was removed in the past few versions of Firefox.
Why do you need the full path?

  • Find installation path of the LV application

    I want to find the installation path of the LV application. I have aplication already installed in the system. Lets call it applic.exe file. I want to find in which directory it is installed. I need to obtain this information programatically, probably by reading some registry key, but I do not know which.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards
    Pawel

    Hi pawel
    1. Registry: I don´t think that will be possible, since, at least in my system, there is no registry key for path to an application.exe. Yoy can try to run Regedit ans use its search to look for youa applic.exe and see all references in registry.
    2. My suggestion is to use any list recursive directories and check for path to your file.
    You can find examples if listing directories in this web and OpenG site.
    Hope it helps

  • Find the installation Path of the current running VM on Windows

    Hello,
    I have a java class started by webstart.
    In this class I would like to find the absolute path of the current running vm? This is important to me because I need to start an exe file (using ProcessBuilder) and hand it the path of the java VM,
    For example I could try something like this:
    private static File findJDK() throws Exception {
    String s = System.getProperty("java.home");
    File myJRE = new File(s);
    if (new File(myJRE, "bin/javac.exe").isFile()) {
    return myJRE;
    File parent = myJRE.getParentFile();
    if (new File(parent, "bin/javac.exe").isFile()) {
    return parent;
    for (String pathel : System.getenv("PATH").split(File.pathSeparator)) {
    File bindir = new File(pathel);
    if (new File(bindir, "javac.exe").isFile()) {
    return bindir.getParentFile();
    return myJRE;
    But I would like the above code to be more fool proof!
    For example the "java.home" could be wrongly set.
    Since java is allready running I would have hopped that I could query the Runtime. But there seems to be no method providing the running java VM path?
    I also tried looking at the jnlp services API but no luck.
    I would be also interested find the lastest java VM on the client Windows machine....

  • How does one determine which version of the runtime installed?

    I am trying to distinguish whether or not a particular language version of java 1.4.0 is installed on a certain computer. As you may know, one can download the English language version of the runtime or All languages including English. Is there anyway to easily determine which language version is installed?

  • How to change business rule in the runtime

    I create a business rule and add it in a BPEL process. After deployment, this process works fine.
    How to modify the rule in run time? I mean I do not need to redeploy the process.

    If you are using SOA suite 10g qhen you add a decision serivce to your BPEL process it doens;t use a pointer to the rules repository but actually makes a copy of the rules respository and deploys it locally within the BPEL process. Because of this any changes you make to your initial respository will not be seen because the delopyed process does not use the original version. You need to update the decision.dec file in your BPEL project and change the repository information to point to the original rules repository you want to use.
    Once you have done this redeploy the BPEL process and your changes shoudl be reflected in your process.
    Hopefully this information helps

  • How can I change the installation path  of JWS?

    I have to install the JRE 1.4.0_01 in silent mode on Windows XP. For the JRE I can set the installation path in the corresponding dialog and record it in an *.iss file. When starting the silent installation the JRE is correctly installed into this path but the Java Webstart installation procedure doesn't care about this path and installs JWS in 'D:\Programme\Java Web Start'.

  • [SOLVED]Searching for a way to change default kernel installation path

    Hi,
    ( first of all SRY for my english )
    I've set up a multi boot system onto an USB Stick - something like a personalized Recovery System. Currently I have a 32 and a 64bit version of Arch on it, but may I'll extend it with other distros...
    OK, so far everything is running pretty fine, but every time I do a kernel upgrade I'm running into the following issue:
    Since I'm using a shared boot partition where my GRUB and all of my Kernels (i686, c86_64) lie on. -  I'm using the shared partition for technical reasons (MSDOS part table, max 4 primary partitions ).
    I've organized my kernels in different directorys (e.g. i686, x86_64) and it is no problem to tell GRUB about this, but every time I do a Kernel upgrade the kernel is installed to its default location on /boot/vmlinuz-linux.
    That has two side effects:
       - I have to move the kernel "by hand" to the right directory
       - I've changed the Kernel-Path in mkinitcpio.conf to /boot/xxx/vmlinuz-linux therefore mkinitcpio is not able to create the initramfs because it does not know about the right path
    My current solution is, that I will move the kernel to the appropiate directory and execute mkinitcpio afterwards ... but sometimes it happens that I forget about that and my system is not able to start up again...
    I've thought bout possible solutions via symlinks, mountbinds, shutdown scripts, etc. but I wasn't able to find a proper solution for that problems.
    So far my (long) story. My specific question is, is it possible to change the default installation path of the kernel package? If so that will solve my problem in a elegant way .
    Best regards,
    gnux
    PS.: I was thinking about something like a config e.g. in /etc/kernelpath ... whatever

  • Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine

    Hi,
    i have an issue with using a LabVIEW interop assembly in a .NET application. I get an exception "Unable to determine the install root path for the LabVIEW Runtime Engine" when calling the assembly.
    The little test program is attached below. It's called dotNETHost.exe. If you excecute the programm a dialog with an button appears. Clicking the button shall open another dialog (the LabVIEW Interop component). But the only thing I get is the exception message. The ZIP folder also contains the complete exception meassage (ExceptionMessange.jpg & ExceptionDetails.txt).
    The Interop Assembly was built with LabVIEW 2011. We use Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0.. The dotNETHost.exe.config file is prepared as mentioned in Knowledge base - Loading .NET 4.0 assemblies.
    The Interop assembly contains only one simple dialog (loop is finished by clicking OK) without calling any other VIs or other DLL's.  In case of this there's also no support directory generated by the build process.
    I have no idea why it doesn' work. I hope anyone can help me.
    Thanks in advance

    This may be unrelated, but Labview and .Net4.0 dont work well together. Not yet anyway. I had to compile my assembly in 3.5 to get it to work.

  • What are the ramification of changing the default installation path?

    Some of the users in my agency would like to standardize the installation path so it doesn't change when we upgrade from one version to another. There are other applications that use Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat Pro, and a standard path would be helpful. What are the ramification for security and quarterly updates?
    We are on Win 7 Pro SP1, mostly 32-bit.

    Austin TX

    I tend to agree, and strongly recommended against it. Especially since Adobe products can be finicky. And the path that they have to update is not dynamic, unfortunately.
    Thanks.
