Creating setup program

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.

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 Int32

Hi 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.

Messaging Server 5.0 setup program detects a previous server instance and fails, even though earlier versions were uninstalled

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.

If I choose the option "Create New," the setup program will create the
following directory:

msg-server-name-1

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:

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:

<OL>
<LI>Uninstall previously installed instance(s) of Messaging Server

<LI>Remove the
/etc/msgregistry.inf
file

<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.

Create a program, based on a report painter query

Hi!
I would like to create a program, which contains the same data, what I can get from a report, which is made by report painter in transaction GRR2. The given report is for checking the service orders.
This report has a key (order number) and additional columns, like material cost, personal cost, external service cost, money income, etc...
I would like to know, how can I identify the tables, columns and table entries, where these values come from?
How can I retrieve from the SAP, for example the material cost of the service orders?
And of course with the less hard-coding.
Thank you
Tamá

How to find the cost element to filter
- Ask your FI-CO team.
- Analyze the Customizing (IMG): "Materials Management", "Valuation and Account Assignment", "Account Determination" to find the cost element/account used for MM. go to "Account Determination Without Wizard", "Configure Automatic Postings"
- Look at table T030 which links Operation/Transaction key and Account, and filter KTOSL on Operation Group T030A-GRUP = 'RMK' for MM.
Ask also the CO team if they maintain a hierarchy of cost element that you could use in your report.
Also use SE30, when analysing the result you could find the way used by the generated program to spread the cost elements in column.

Create a program, based on a report painter query issue continues

Hi!

This report has a key (order number) and additional columns, like material cost, personal cost, external service cost, money income, etc...
I found the COSP table, which can be very useful. Unfortunately COSP table contains only the costart (KSTAR) and I don't know, which costarts can be attached to the material costs, which costarts to the services, which costarts belong to the money income, etc...
Could you please tell me, where can I find this assignment?

Create a program, based on a report painter query

The FInal Step, i have created a program to all my specifications and i am now ready to connect the hardware

I have created a program to all my specifications and i am now ready to connect the hardware.
My program was created to automate the cleaning process of an atmostpheric chamber. It controls two valves based on the pressure readings and time intervals. When creating this program i figured that if a could make a boolean turn on or off based on the pressure readings then it would be no problem somehow wiring it to send a signal to the hardware. I have reached that point and don't know how to proceed. I was told that the first step is to figure out what kind of Card is being interfaced with the program.
I have read up on this subject and it seems like there is many ways to do it.
All sugestions will be greatly appreciated

I'm not sure how you can create the program without knowing what hardware you're going to be using. But... What have you read up on? You will need to select your data acquisition hardware. What kind of signals do you have? What kind of transducers do you have? What kind of actuators do you have? You may want to start with:
Introduction to Data Acquisition
Digital Voltage Measurement Fundamentals
Complete Data Acquisition Tutorial
EDIT: Re-reading your post and seeing Waldemar's response: Do you actually already have a card installed?

Function Module to create a program in SE38

Hi,
I have to create an ABAP program dynamically. The program name(to be created) will be provided in the selection screen and the logic of the program will be available in an internal table & also in a local PC file. Is there any Function Module available in SAP to create the program dynamically by using the code which is available in the internal table. The program should be saved in the Local Object.
Can someone help me on this issue. Thanks in advance.

C4780 setup program abort to configure wi-fi connection

I am using Maverick - OS 10.9.3 and the C4780 don't connect to my ARRIS TG862 router using WPS. When I try to configurate by setup program it abort.
In other words: C4780 works only using USB option.
Anyone can help me?

Hi Mcezar,
I see you are struggling to get the printer on your wireless network. I can help.
This printer does not have a wireless wizard build into the front panel instead we would typically connect a USB cable from the printer to the computer and run the setup assistant.
Because you have 10.9 on the Mac, there is no full feature software and drivers, thus you will not have the setup assistant we need to configure the printer. You may be wondering now, well how can I set it up then? Good question, we are going to restore the printers network back to default and the printer will have its own IP address designed for whats called an Ad Hoc connection (network without a router). We will put the computer on the printers network, and then print a report to get the printers IP address. At this point we can access the embedded web server (EWS) and run the wireless wizard from there. Once the printer is on the home network with the router we can put the computer back on the network and vuala the printer and computer will both be on your network.
To restore network defaults
Press the Scan button (it also the Wireless menu button)
Select Wireless Settings
Scroll down and select Restore Network Defaults. Press Yes to acknowledge
The radio will turn off (the blue LED will go out). Select Enable Wireless
Put the computer on the printers network (temporary)
1. Click on the Airport symbol on the top left side of the Mac screen
2. Choose the network that look relative to the printer (might say HP setup or some variation)
Print the wireless network test
Press the Scan button (it also the Wireless menu button)
Select Wireless Settings
Navigate to Wireless test and select.
The Wireless Network Test prints, look for and note the IP address.
Open an internet broswer (Safari) and enter the IP address into the URL (address bar).
Click on the newtork tab, on the left click on wireless or 802.11.
At this point we are looking fore "start wizard" should be on the right hand side.
Once we have successful configured the printer for your network you can put your computer back on your own network.
Now you can add the printer to the System Preferences and print
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, thanks.
