Createing a setup program
Hi,
How to create setup programs for standalone applications?
I want to create a setup program for my standalone application, so that the user can install it in their computer by just clicking an icon.
Is there any tool available to create the steup program or any site which will give me details as how to write the setup program.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Anindita.
There are several options:
ZeroG's InstallAnywhere Now 4.51 is free, but the resulting Setup.exe will be at least 1.5 meg or so, even for HelloWorld.
http://www.zerog.com/
I remember evaluating InnoSetup, but don't remember why I didn't go with it :-( Same for GpInstall.
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.htm
http://www.qsc.co.uk/GPI/GPInstall.htm
You can use the Windows Visual Studio Installer to generate a .msi file that will be very compact, but I believe it will only work with WinMe or Win2000 or WinXp.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsinstal/html/veovrvisualstudioinstalleroverview.asp
For my purposes, a very small download that doesn't require a plug-in or JRE is a priority. Mea culpa, I've been using MS Visual J++'s installation function. The resulting Setup.exe is about 250k, and will work ok with a vanilla Win98 first edition or WinNt. This wasn't too restrictive for me and utilizes jview and/or wjview that come with Windows.
For this to work, you can only use jdk 1.1 features. As soon as you use Collections or Swing, the user needs a 5+ meg JRE download.

Create a Setup Program, someone who have created a setup PGM in C# (VB)?
Hi,
Are there someone who have created a setup program in C# (VB)
Thank you,
Rune
The program look like this...
'EndInstall - Signals SBO that the installation is complete.
Declare Function EndInstall Lib "AddOnInstallAPI.dll" () As Int32
'SetAddOnFolder - Use it if you want to change the installation folder.
Declare Function SetAddOnFolder Lib "AddOnInstallAPI.dll" (ByVal srrPath As String) As Int32
'RestartNeeded - Use it if your installation requires a restart, it will cause B1 application to close itself after the installation is complete.
Declare Function RestartNeeded Lib "AddOnInstallAPI.dll" () As Int32Hi Rune,
i can't send you the code from my company. but its very similar to the frminstall.cs
if you don't want to programm a setup exe you should try this:b1 development environment.
i've never tried it because i develop everything on my own but i heard that it is possible to create very easy setup programms with it.

hi,
i would like to create a setup program, in other words i would like to offer an application to users on cd or through the web, and they should be able to install it on their computer.
i have searched the forums and found this thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=5&thread=207581
i downloaded InstallAnywhere from zerog.com and tried it out. it kinda worked, but some parts of the swing application didn't execute well; also fonts didn't appear as i specified etc.
has anyone ever worked with InstallAnywhere and are you happy with it? do you think my problem would have something to do with wrong classpath specification?
and say it would finally work, does every user need to have InstallAnywhere on his machine, or can i offer it on the internet without the user having it on his machine?
or do you have any other suggestions for building such an install program? maybe installshield?
i am a complete newbie at this, if anyone could help, i would greatly appreciate...i rememeber we used installanywhere at my old job, we had it install off the net, so there were no cds needed, user simply point themselves to the page and install begins from there. there were no swing related issues, so i'm not sure about that but i do recall having font problems, we tried shutting off the system font, check:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=4&thread=323027
this helped, but we only had this issue on a certain machine all others were ok. i've never used installshield, but i've heard it easy and very good, that's why many windows programs use it, but i could be wrong but i believe installshield is only for windows while with installanywhere you can build installs for windows or for macs, i believe linux also. -
How do I put my jar executables into a cab file to create a setup/install?
I want to create a setup program for installing my jar executable. I've seen ones that create cab files with a setup.exe program and would like to do the same. Any suggestions?
Well, JARs generally don't have support files. That's the whole idea. A JAR is designed to be a stand alone application. You don't really need to install it, for that matter. I just thought you might be wanted shortcuts or something.
Actually, there is some way to install Java programs through Java Web Start, if you want to check that out. I don't know anything about it, though. -
How to create Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007
Hi,
When I create my Add-On into SBO I have some issues.
Which program do I use to create an Add-On into SBO?
Is there a URL or Path where I find the program?
I am using a 2003 program which is built by my colleague.
I assume SAP provide the Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007
Thank you,
RuneRune,
At a high level ...
1) VS2005
2) Compile your program
3) Generate and Add-on Identifier
4) Create a registration datafile
5) Create the setup program consisting of your .EXE and the .ARD file
6) Add-On is created and running in SBO
Again ... the details on deploying and packaging your add-on can be found in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation and the SDK eLearning.
Also, you can use B1DE using the Simple Installer or Professional Installer will do most of the work for you after you have coded the add-on.

Team,
I am trying to Install Exchange on my Lab, getting below error
message.
The Schema Role is installed on Root Domain and trying to install
exchange on Child domain.
1 Root Domain - 1 Child domain. both are located on single site.
“Setup encountered a problem while validating
the state of Active Directory: Exchange organization-level objects have not been created, and setup cannot create them because the local computer is not in the same domain and site as the schema master. Run setup with the /prepareAD parameter and wait for
replication to complete.”
Followed below articles:
http://support.risualblogs.com/blog/2012/02/21/exchange-2010-sp2-upgrade-issue-exchange-organization-level-objects-have-not-been-created-and-setup-cannot-create-them-because-the-local-computer-is-not-in-the-same-domain-and-site-as-the-sche/
http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000793.htm
transferred the schema roles to different server on root domain, still no luck.
can someone please help me.
regards
Srinivasa k
Srinivasa KHi Srinivasa,
I guess, you didn't completed the initial setup schemaprep and adprep before starting the installation. You can do it as follows:
1. Open command Prompt as administrator and browse to the root of installation cd and run Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
After finishing this,
2. Setup.exe /PrepareAD /OrganizationName:"<organization name>" /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
3. To prepare all domains within the forest run Setup.exe /PrepareAllDomains /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms. If you want to prepare a specific domain run Setup.exe /PrepareDomain:<FQDN of the domain you want to prepare> /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms
4. Once you complete all of the 3 steps, install the pre-requisities for Exchange 2013
5. Finally, run the setup program
Hope this will help you

Creating an executable program to control a machine
Hello
I've created an executable program under Labview that I want to install
on a computer without Labview to control a machine. On the second
machine I have just installed Labview runtime, driver for measurecard
(ni) and daq.
How can I save this application as an exe file, or as an install or
setup file? How can I put the library, dll-files and vi-files in the
exe-file?
FahriTo create an .exe, you need the application builder. It is included with the Professional versions of LabVIEW or you can purchase it separately as an add-on. I think the current price is U$995. The app builder inlcudes an installer that you can use to package the .exe and any support files that you might need.

During the installation of Messaging Server 5.0, the setup program displays
a message stating that a previous Messaging Server instance has been detected.
The program then prompts me to upgrade the existing server instance or create
a new server instance.
<P>
If I choose the option "Create New," the setup program will create the
following directory:
<P>
msg-<I>server-name</I>-1
<P>
Because I don't want this directory to be created, I choose the other option,
"Upgrade." However, with this option, the setup program eventually displays
the following error message:

A serious problem occurred while installing the iPlanet Messaging Server
Messaging Configuration and Services. It reported the following problem:
The application command /usr/iplanet/server5/msg-alien-1/start-msg
could not be run.
Due to a serious problem the iPlanet Messaging Server installer is unable
to continue. Please examine the log file
/usr/iplanet/server5/setup/msg/iplanet-msg-install.log for more
information.
Checking the log file reveals the following entries:
<P>
NOTICE: Running Init Config.
NOTICE: Creating messaging file attributes.
NOTICE: Running Removing old sessions database.
NOTICE: Starting Messaging Configuration and Services.
ERROR:
TYPE: Application
LOCATION: UApplicationTools::RunApplicationUNIX
DETAILS: The application command
/usr/iplanet/server5/msg-alien-1/start-msg could not be run.
Is there a way to work around this problem with the setup program detecting
a previous installation?
Use the following steps to correct this problem:
<P>
<OL>
<LI>Uninstall previously installed instance(s) of Messaging Server
<P>
<LI>Remove the
/etc/msgregistry.inf
file
<P>
<LI>Run the Messaging Server 5.0 installer again
</OL>I have followed the steps as stated in this article. But still, Messaging cannot be installed.Is there a "CLEAN" way to completely un-install iPlanet Messaging server?

How to download offline setup programs ?
Hi,
At my company, as a sysadmin I'm in charge of setting up Adobe Products. Creative Cloud won't allow me to download offline setup programs for my PC & MAC users.
Please tell me another way to download those setup programs.Thanks for the examples
I responded to another post regarding Team Ready earlier today. It seemed kind of related:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4476648#4476648
In the case of a deployment, Adobe has its own deployment software (AAMEE 3.0) that is often used by volume license customers. As mentioned in the former thread, volume license for Creative Cloud is still being created.
Closed/protected environments are often volume licensed with perpetual products as they have additional options related to activation/licensing for the sysadmin (single activation for all products outside the closed environment or offline activation).
Sounds like volume licensing is the common thread here (at least in my accessment) so more solutions/options are on the way.

Is there any way to create a setup file Like Visual Basic
Hi,
I want to create a setup file of all developed foms and reports to install them to desireable location, is there any way to create a setup file in oracle, Like Vb.
RazaI believe there is something from Oracle but it was frustratingly buggy when I used it a few years back and only worked via the Oracle installer.
Personally, I'd recommend something like Innosetup, which is freeware and a Windows-style installer much like InstallShield etc. so it'll create an executable setup file probably OK if they've already got the Oracle Runtime components installed. -

NithyaYou're doing a lot of unnecessary conversion of dates into character strings and back into dates again.
Keep it simple and just use dates as-is:
SQL> select * from T_REC_PER;
VAL START_PERIOD END_PERIOD
5 15-OCT-2008 00:00:00 30-OCT-2008 00:00:00

8 07-NOV-2008 00:00:00 12-NOV-2008 00:00:00
