Damaged ActiveX

Getting error message "Damaged ActiveX" in IE7. Using XP
SP2.

Hi, ok you ruled all of that out. Can you go to Tools, Internet Options, and click on the General Tab, then find and click on
Settings, then View Objects. Find the ActiveX Control in question and right click. You should be able to Remove/Delete from there.
If not, then go to this Microsoft site and look for "Can I delete add ons or ActiveX Controls" and follow it.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Internet-Explorer-add-ons-frequently-asked-que stions
Finally, if that doesn't work, then assume the program that installed it can't work with a damaged file and ignore it.
Is it causing any issue, or did you just want to remove it?
Thanks,

Hello, could you please tell us how to fix this damaged file, its making my other d/l impossible to run, like blaxxun 3d and VRML. anyways I thought this is something that has been an important part of my system. Isn't there some way of fixing damaged files? please respond!!!! I've uninstalled, and reinstalled and its still damaged. thanks for any information given!!!

Here is an excerpt from the Installation Notes on JDK1.3.1:
Troubleshooting the Installation
Below are some tips for working around problems that are sometimes seen during or following an installation. For more troubleshooting information, see the Java FAQ.
"Damaged" ActiveX Control file
When you install version 1.3.1_<version number> of the Java Runtime Environment, the ActiveX Control file at
C:\Winnt\Downloaded Program Files\Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1_<version number> will have a status of "Damaged." This is merely a cosmetic issue, and the "Damaged" status
should have no adverse affect in any situation.
Nevertheless, there is a workaround if for some reason you cannot have a status of damaged. Go to "Start -> Run" and type in "regedit". From the regedit windows, navigate to the registry key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93\DownloadInformation". Double-click on the INF
string and delete the highlighted string under "Value data". The ActiveX Control file will have a status of "Installed."

I can't install sdk properly

Hi all
I am absolutely new to java and I have been trying to install jdk1.3.1.04. I go through all the steps to install it but when I use javac it gives a message " bad command or file name" what is happening?
It is installed in C:\sdk1.3.1.04 directory. I changed the autoexec.bat file to read: SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JAVA\BIN; as I understand it should be. The prompt starts at C:\Windows> , I changed the directory to C: and then try javac and I get the message above "bad command...."
I hope someone can help me get started with this.
just one extra comment. I seem to have 2 autoexec.bat files the 1st is in C: and the 2nd is in C:\windows\command\ebd. The one I changed is the one in C:
God Bless Java

One point: I went into system information in system

anything. The following code is in there twice
java runtime environment 1.3.1_04 damaged 1,3,1,4There is nothing wrong with the download. It should be there twice. The following information is from http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3.1_01a/faq.html
Q: The file Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1_0x (an ActiveX Control) in the WINNT/Downloaded Program Files directory says it's "Damaged." What does this mean? What can I do about it?
A: This is a cosmetic bug; you won't run into any actual problems with the Java Runtime Environment. It does not mean that anything is damaged or that the installation failed. However, if you would still like to make it read "installed" instead of "damaged", you can edit the windows registry. First double-click on the ActiveX Control that is "damaged" (Java Runtime Environment 1.3.1_0x) and check the ID value. Go to Start->Run, type regedit and hit "Ok". Traverse to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE//Software//Microsoft//Code Store
Database//Distribution Units//{ID}//DownloadInformation, where ID is the value of the ID. Double click on the INF registry string, delete the string contents, and hit "Ok". The status of the previously "damaged" ActiveX control should now say "installed".
================================
When I put in javac at the dos prompt it shows all the
options so that part works.At this point you seem to be ok; watch your capitalization and other programming errors.
Good Luck

Flash settings manager "no plugin" ....

hello,
i hope this makes sence: recently i updated to v10.3.181.34 through the adobe website and all went well except that now i get an internet explorer warning pop-up at *some* websites asking if i want to install the adobe flash player (publisher adobe systems incorporated) with only two choices - install or don't install.... the window is very plain (no corporate logos, colors, etc.) and measures about 6" wide and 3" high.... no traceable address is visable nor does the process show up in task manager.
so, after lurking here for some time i've come to see that there are many inter-related possabilities one of which i found through control panel.... btw, i'm using XP SP2 and IE v7 for backward compatability reasons.
what i found through the Flash control panel icon / the "Player settings manager applet" is that under the *Advanced* tab there are two entries - one for the activeX version (10.3.181.34) and one for the plug-in version that says "not installed."
it appears that (after extensive testing) i am able to play any flash content but certain sites have a "run flash=yes" entry in their source code and that is where and when this popup appears and i kill it by selecting 'dont install' whereupon the rest of the page loads and everything is ok.....?
since i've already updated once successfully, why isn't there an entry for the "plug-in" and how do i verify that it isn't already there given that *IE add-on manager* shows entries for both 32-bit shockwave activeX control and shockwave flash object in the "downloaded controls" section ?
having been bitten once by a false pop-up, i'm very hesitant to blindly trust this one even though it looks authentic *and* does not register any alarms with my protection software (zonealarm internet and spy sweeper).
any suggestions ?
OS3

hello ɹəuəllıʍ,
it pays to keep trying and trying - finally i don't get the popup AND the correct image shows up in your link....
the solution was to remove a "damaged" activeX component from the IE browser helper manager and then UNinstall all of the previous version AND then install the newest version while off-line with the antivirus software OFF.
now i go to the site(s) and there is no popup and the image i see is "version 10-3-183-5 installed."
thanks for your help and good luck with all the rest.
my advise to everyone is *follow the instructions* ! ! !

Damaged .pdf file when exporting / printing

Post Author: darrens
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
I scoured Google, these forums, and Crystal support but haven't found a solution to my issue.
I have a Crystal report (version XIR2) served from an Enterprise server. I also have a ASP.NET C# application that calls and runs this report in a DHTML CrystalReportViewer. The actual report runs just fine.
Clicking the print button in the report viewer's top toolbar causes the viewer to attempt to export the report to a .pdf, from where you can actually print it. This is where my problem lies! When Adobe Reader opens and attempts to open the temporary .pdf file generated from the viewer, I get the message "Adobe Reader could not open 'filename.tmp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." This also happens when trying to export the report directly into PDF format. Everyone who would run this report, including me, is using Adobe Reader 8.1.
Exporting to other file formats seems to work just fine. Excel and Word have no problems.
Also, interestingly enough, exporting to PDF and trying to print in Internet Explorer 7 works just fine! These problems seem to only occur in IE6. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to use IE7 yet, so we are stuck with IE6. Additionally, we are stuck using the DHTML viewer, so other viewers, like the ActiveX or Java viewers, are not options for me.
I had found some articles in Business Object support saying this problem was related to WebSphere, and there were various solutions I found related to that. However, WebSphere isn't used anywhere in our organization, so this problem must be stemming from elsewhere.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read / reply to this thread. If anyone needs more information, feel free to ask!
Thanks,Darren

Hi,
I think your pdf file is probably damaged. There is a tool called Advanced PDF Repair. I have used it to repair many corrupt PDF files successfully. Its homepage is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/ Maybe you can have a try.

Java runtime enviroment 1.3.1_01 properties type activeX control

can any one help please. i have a problem with java runtime enviroment
1.3.1_01, in tools= internet options i have the following problem= in genral tab java runtime enviroment 1.3._01, type activeX control, createad, 29-6-03.8.43.p.m. last accessed 26-7-03. total size.0 bytes

Hi,
is this the only time you got this problem? If no then probably you should try installing the jre again or download the latest version from sun.

1.3.1_01 plugin shown as damaged in IE5

I've installed Java 1.3.1_01 plugin and it works OK on Java's 1.3.1_01 demo applets such as in http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3.1_01a/demos/applets/MoleculeViewer/example1.html
But In IE5.5, I went to tools -> Internet Options -> Settings -> View Objects. In it one of the two JRE active x control is labeled "damage". This object has a class id of {CAFEEFAC-0013-0001-0001-ABCDEFFEDCBA} which is the default class id inserted by the htmlconverter. Almost all previous applets uses this class id. Since it can't find a working ActiveX control of this class id, it will try to download Java 1.3.1 plugin even though 1.3.1_01 is already installed. If you do install it, you'll have two plugins and according to the Release Notes and also in my exprience, you'll have problems.
So basically 1.3.1_01 Plugin will not work with all previous applets; not backward compatible. Does anybody have the same experience?

We had a similar problem when trying to pre-install the JRE, then run a web page with an applet in it. Apparently there is a bug in the JRE installer (1.3.1_01) that puts extraneous values into the registry. As a work-around, you can delete those values out of the registry. I had to do this in our installer with a simple C++ program.
Delete the INF values under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\{8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93}\DownloadInformation
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\{CAFEEFAC-0013-0001-0001-ABCDEFFEDCBA}\DownloadInformation
('0013-0001-0001' <==> JRE 1.3.1_01. Replace with your version)
Hope this helps!

Excel Get ActiveX References.vi and closing references -- grrr

I'm new to ActiveX stuff, but eager to learn!
The "grrr" in my Subject line is a reference to how I feel about LabVIEW's documentation from time to time. I'm a dinosaur who came from text-based programming, and did a fair amount of C coding, so sometimes with LabVIEW I'm left with this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach like, "Good grief! How much memory must LabVIEW be hogging up in the background when I use this vi?" or "What happens to those variables (wires) in that subVI when it completes but doesn't close? What are their statuses when I come back in the next time?" or "What if I put a lot of elements into that array the first time and then started from element zero the second time and just put in a few? What has happened with the memroy that was allocated when there were a lot of elements?"
Today I'm stewing about this "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi," and what happens to the "ActiveX references" it generates each time I call the subVI in which "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" lives. I think that at least one of the "ActiveX references" it generates when I call it is of the type Excel._Application. Then there appears to be an Excel._Workbook, and others. You see, I've used "Excel Easy Report.vi" to put some data into an Excel spreadsheet, and I want to tell Excel to do a "Save" on the open spreadsheet. I think ActiveX is the (a) right way to do that, so I'm wading into the ActiveX fray... But this "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" says in its help file, "Do not close ActiveX references opened with the Excel Get ActiveX References VI. References must remain open until the report is closed. Otherwise the error 3001 will occur." Well, these Excel workbooks that get created by my VI could well stay open until after my LabVIEW VI terminates!
So (finally), here are some of my quesitons:
1) When I go through my subVI once, pointing to one workbook, I'll get one set of references "created" or "opened" or whatever you call it when ActiveX references spring into existance. Now, when I exit the subVI, is it going to automatically try to "close" those ActiveX references? I don't suppose so, since subVI's stay in memory until the calling VI closes.
2) Now, I come back into my subVI a second time. New workbook gets created, so I get new references. Ok, fine. Uh oh! What happened to those old references? I suppose that if I didn't somehow save them off, I've probably lost the ability to get them back (maybe I'm wrong, but I don't need them back), but is LabVIEW going to "close" those old references (from previous times through the subVI) because I can't get to them anymore? Won't that cause the dreaded error 3001? If LabVIEW is not going to "close" them, what in tarnation happens to them (the old C programmer in me creeping back out)?? Now it's some oddball, orphaned reference, floating out there, hogging memory, waiting to make something crash intermittently and be a debugging nightmare?
3) Now, here's the real scary one. I think I might dodge the "error 3001" bullet in questions 1) and 2), but now let's say the user closes my LabVIEW application while Excel is still open. All those workbooks are still open. Presumably, all those ActiveX references I was not supposed to close are still open. I really hope that LabVIEW is decent enough to close/erase/delete/blow-away (whatever the right word is) all those ActiveX references which were opened/created by "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" when my program terminates. But, oh no! Won't the error 3001 come along then? I suppose I can just dump it in the shutdown error handling.
Well, thanks for reading my novel. I don't know what can be done with LabVIEW documentation to make it more satisfying to folks like me, but perhaps someone can weigh in on all my ActiveX questions here.
Thank you in advance,
Steve Brady
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to close EVERY ActiveX reference you open. If you don't you'll end up with some Excel processes running even after LabVIEW exits. You can see them in Task Manager.
I, personally, don't like the LabVIEW Report Generation Tool Kit for working with Excel. I don't think it's flexible enough. I have a growing library of VIs that I've written that open, manipulate, and close Excel. Some references I pass from VI to VI and some I close right after I use them. It all depends on what I'm doing. If I want to enter read or write data from/to a certain range I'll get the range reference, read or write the data, then close it right away because I have no use for it any more. On the other hand, when I open Excel or a Workbook I keep the reference until I'm done, which could be later in the program.
1) When I go through my subVI once, pointing to one workbook, I'll get one set of references "created" or "opened" or whatever you call it when ActiveX references spring into existence. Now, when I exit the subVI, is it going to automatically try to "close" those ActiveX references? I don't suppose so, since subVI's stay in memory until the calling VI closes.
2) Now, I come back into my subVI a second time. New workbook gets created, so I get new references. Ok, fine. Uh oh! What happened to those old references? I suppose that if I didn't somehow save them off, I've probably lost the ability to get them back (maybe I'm wrong, but I don't need them back), but is LabVIEW going to "close" those old references (from previous times through the subVI) because I can't get to them anymore? Won't that cause the dreaded error 3001? If LabVIEW is not going to "close" them, what in tarnation happens to them (the old C programmer in me creeping back out)?? Now it's some oddball, orphaned reference, floating out there, hogging memory, waiting to make something crash intermittently and be a debugging nightmare?
3) Now, here's the real scary one. I think I might dodge the "error 3001" bullet in questions 1) and 2), but now let's say the user closes my LabVIEW application while Excel is still open. All those workbooks are still open. Presumably, all those ActiveX references I was not supposed to close are still open. I really hope that LabVIEW is decent enough to close/erase/delete/blow-away (whatever the right word is) all those ActiveX references which were opened/created by "Excel Get ActiveX References.vi" when my program terminates. But, oh no! Won't the error 3001 come along then? I suppose I can just dump it in the shutdown error handling.
1) No, LabVIEW will NOT close those references. You need to make sure that happens.
2) You can save the references in a functional global or use a class but if you're not going to save them close them as soon as you're done with them.
3) Your user should not be able to close your LabVIEW application without it going through the shutdown routine you've created for your program. The ABORT button should never be exposed to the user and you should capture and discard the panel close event so your program ALWAYS shuts down is an orderly fashion. If you don't you will have fragments of Excel hanging around in your operating system and will have to kill those processes using Task Manager. That should only be a problem during development, not once deployed.
I used to program in C and Assembly many moons ago. You should have seen my first LabVIEW code. I go back and look at it just so I can see how far I've come in the last 12 years. I feel your pain.

How to disable IE Security Warning on opening a "local" visio file with Visio Viewer ActiveX?

Hello all,
Everyone knows that Microsoft released ActiveX based Visio Viewer for free and allow the users to open Visio drawing and view/print via IE browser.
The problem that I am facing is that some users are complaining about IE browser's security warning on "active content to run in files on My Computer".
It means that opening .VSD files from the network, internet, intranet would be all OK but if the user wants to open .VSD files from the local hard drive (or open it as a mail attachment, which will extract it to a temp folder), it prompt the user to select "Allow Blocked Content" EVERYTIME they open them.
I know that I can GLOBALLY disable this warning by going through Tools - Internet Options - Security section and enable "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" but I hope that there is a way (or workaround) to allow them by file type or location, etc.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to disable those warning for all .VSD only while we still UNCHECK the option on Internet Options?
2. Is there any 3rd party Win32 based viewer which wouldn't have those restriction?
3. Is it safe assumption that McAfee VirusScan and Host IPS protection is sufficient enough to remove the IE's security warning feature?
Thanks in advance?
Young-

Are you able to host/launch the VSD file via an HTM page? In that case you can format the HTM page as shown below. This will trick IE into thinking it is loading the file off of a website. Commonly called 'mark of the web'.

Matlab and ActiveX performance

I am playing around with using Labview as an ActiveX server with
Matlab. The anticipated application is to run instrument control
in Labview
and then use ActiveX to transfer data over to Matlab for more processing.
The data transfer speed is surprisingly slow. Over a 100 Mbit
network, two PCs can move a large double-precision 2D array at 6
Mbyte/sec. When both Labview and Matlab are on the same PC (1.4
GHz P4) , the transfer rate is only ~10 Mbyte/sec.
The Matlab code looks something like this:
    LV = actxserver('Labview.Application') ;
    vi = invoke(LV,'GetVIReference','c:\test.vi') ;
    vi.Run ;
    % now transfer the data from Labview to Matlab
    array = vi.GetControlValue('Output Array') ;
I am using tic/toc to time that last line of Matlab code. Am I
doing something wrong or inefficient here, or is this just the way
ActiveX is?

Hello pcyservice
There is NOT a way to downgrade/roll-back/revert to a previous firmware without wiping all data. This is specifically mentioned on the firmware update page:
" CAUTION!
This update is not data destructive, however, ALWAYS back up your data before performing any firmware update!
Once you have updated the firmware, you will NOT be able to revert to an older firmware version."
I recommend you disable any unnecessary features/protocols such as Media Server and Active Folders, then reboot the unit.

When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:

If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How do I backup to my external hd on 10.6.8 if the disk is damaged and can't be repaired?

Hi! So, I'll get straight to the point. I'm running 10.6.8 on my mac, which is about 5 years old. I attempted to install OSX Mavericks last night, so I could update some of my software. Anyways, the computer restarts and opens up the installer for OSX Mavericks, but after about a minute of installing, it shows that the Mavericks install failed. The upgrade couldn't be started because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired.
Could someone tell me (step by step) how to back up all of my data, erase the disk, and install again? I have an external HD by the way.
Help would be much appreciated!

So, essentially you're saying that I need to download one of these programs to my external hd. But, how do I boot it from my mac if I can't get past the installation screen of Mavericks? I'm running on my other mac right now, if that helps. I've tried to use disk utility to repair, but it's greyed out. I honestly just want to retrieve all of my data, wipe the drive, and then install a new one. I just want to know how to do that.

I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.
