Deploying Presenter 8 on 64bit Win7 with 32bit Office

As stated above, my scenario is that we have a site license for Presenter and I need to be able to deploy to hundreds of machines.
I'm no beginner to the AAMEE tool as I've used it to deploy Master Collection and other suites over the years.
So far I've made two variations of the package with AAMEE:
32Bit selected during the wizzard
64bit selected during the wizzard
We currently deploy Office 2010 32bit to all our machines for increased compatibility.
All of our machines are 64bit Windows 7.
Past experience states that the AAMEE wizzard architecture choice must align with the architechture of the destined computer.
However, when deploying the 64bit package, Presenter installs succefully, but the Addon is not available within Office
If I deploy the 32bit version, it does not install succefully. I've traced the Adobe logs and interestingly it first begins to error with prerequisit payloads VC redist 2008, 2010 x64 being missing. I've added them to the payload folder of the generated package and I get a bit further.
Now the VC redistributables fail due to a concurrently running MSI.
Keep in mind that I already have the pre-requisits installed on the destination machine (And I've tested removing them first too)
So I'm at a bit of a stand still. Has anyone encountered this issue and got a fix for me?
Many thanks.

We are also having the same issue installing Presenter 8.
Windows 7 64bit SP1 with the latest security patches
Office 2010 32bit SP1 with the latest security patches.
We are using AAMEE 3.1.108.0
I can create the MSI package using the AAME tool but it won't install. I get very generic errors.
Adobe, what's the solution? why make it so complicated?
Abosolutely absurd!

Safely installing 64bit kernel with 32bit userland

I'm happily running a 64bit kernel with 32bit userland, but I was wondering whether there is any way to let pacman allow me to install the 64bit kernel (manually downloaded) without me needing to edit pacman.conf. I sometimes forget to set the arch to i686 again causing me to install 64bit packages.
If there is no such option, I'll script something for myself, but I wanted to be sure I didn't miss something (maybe an undocumented option?).

I have the Architecture line commented out of my pacman.conf, but that is because I am too lazy to upgrade the kernel using --arch. That and I use "i686" in my mirror url and am fairly sure I will never change it to x86_64 by accident...
Anyway, these are the changes I made to /etc/inittab. Just added linux32 in lots of places.

Do that, and you will never know that you are running an x86_64 kernel and can keep Architecture=auto if you wish.

Lync VDI Plugin on 64bit remote computer with 32Bit Office 2010 installed

Hi,
We have a customer who had a number of users connecting via RDP to a Server 2008r2 based farm. A lot of the users have Win 7 x64 installed on their home computers along with Office
2010 32 Bit. When I try to install the Lync 2013 64 Bit VDI plugin I get an error stating the product can't be installed on the computer as it already has Office 2010 Single Image installed. Is this correct
as the TechNet install guide states only the Bitness of Office 2013 matters??
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2013/09/23/deployment-details-for-lync-vdi-plugin.aspx
Thanks
Lync Tips Blog - [email protected] - If this post has been useful please click the green arrow to the left or click 'Propose as answer'

Hi,
As you have install Office 2010 32 Bit on the computer, you must install the same Bit version of Office software. Make sure all versions of Office are either 32-bit or 64-bit. You can’t have a mix of both.

FMB File 64bits compatible with 32Bits Forms builder

Hello my friends
I was wondering if someone can give me a hand here, actually i have 3 questions.
I installed weblogic and oracle forms & reports 11g on my laptop (windows 7 64 bits).
1)I create a form, with the database i have on my laptop, but when i got to my work i try to open the file but it says that "the file can't be opened" with no error code or other kind of info.
so i was wondering if anyone knows if there's a compatibility problem between the 32bits version and 64 bits version of forms builder and report builder.
2)The other question was when i was trying to create a master detail data block when i compile the form it says
SQL Error Ocurred
Sql stament ignored
I was looking on this forum and it says that it was something about reserved words, however i speak spanish so my table names are in spanish too, i don't think it has to be something with the reserved words.
the error ocurred on the delete detail trigger i think, i'm not in the office right now.
3) I found the solution for this one while i was writing this.
Thanks in advance
I hope someone can give me a hand
PS: Sorry for the bad English.

Not sure if this might help, but try it and please report back (these steps fix problems in some odd situations.)
Open the fmb on a computer where it will open ok.
Do a pl/sql Replace All, replacing all semicolon with semicolon. (That just forces the Forms Builder to remove embedded compiled code.)
Save and close the form (without recompiling anything). You may notice the fmb size is reduced.
Then try opening the fmb on the other computer.

64bit kernel with 32bit userspace + pacman integration

There have been quite some questions about this topic. Sometimes leading even leading to frustration.
Luckily, a nice writeup was made here with a nice addition to integrate this nicely here.
Since there is no 32bit PAE kernel distributed by ArchLinux, using a 64bit kernel to enable NX is the only option. But since it only has 1G of memory, I do not wish to install a 64bit userspace + 32bit multilib.
However, the *exact* steps have been quite a guess (and there is no wiki). That is why I'm writing this down.
Let's start with the main configuration: pacman.conf
We need to comment out the Architecture stanza. It's funky. Why? Because it actually has two unrelated purposes:
As a documented feature, it provides protection against installing incorrect packages from another architecture
The undocumented feature is the fact that it's literal value is used to replace '$arch' variables in repo URL's
#Architecture = auto
Syncing your local repo's just broke as '$arch' is no longer defined (try it now). I ditched /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and did this with my remote repo URL's:
# custom repo for 64bit kernel
[x86_64-kernel]
Server = file:///home/$user/x86_64-kernel/
[core]
Server = http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/core/os/i686
[extra]
Server = http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/extra/os/i686
[community]
Server = http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/community/os/i686
Notice the new custom repo at the top of the file. Adapt your pacman.conf to contain this custom repo as well. Make sure you place it before the [core] repo or whatever other repo is providing your current kernel. The order matters.
Furthermore, I rewrote the configuration file to not depend on variable substitution. One could argue that substituting $repo was unnecessary, but that does not really matter.
Second, we setup the repository as a normal user. This can be done by a regular user in a safe way since the packages are all signed. So tampering with packages will not work. You could even dedicate a cron script with a dedicated user to this purpose (which is overkill).
mkdir /home/$user/x86_64-kernel/
Third, we use a small script to handle this custom repo. We place it at /home/$user/x86_64-kernel.sh . Subsitute the variable R_REPO with your favorite ArchLinux mirror. Make sure this URL points to a 64bit core repository.
#!/bin/bash
set -e
set -o pipefail
L_REPO=/home/$user/x86_64-kernel/
R_REPO=http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/
cd "$L_REPO"
wget -nv "$R_REPO"/core.db -O core.db
DESC=$(tar -tf core.db | grep '^linux-[0-9.-]*/desc$' | tail -n1)
KERNELPKG=$(tar -xf core.db "$DESC" -O | grep -A1 '^%FILENAME%$' | tail -n1)
if ! [[ -f "$KERNELPKG" ]]; then
wget -nv "$R_REPO"/"$KERNELPKG"
wget -nv "$R_REPO"/"$KERNELPKG".sig
repo-add -q x86_64-kernel.db.tar.gz "$KERNELPKG"
fi
Now we are in fact done with the configuration. Substiture $user for your current user in all the sections and do the following:
# create repo, this script also updates it when newer 64bit kernels arrive
user $ bash /home/$user/x86_64-kernel.sh
# update pacman's database
root # pacman -Syy
# install 64bit kernel
root # pacman -S linux
Pacman will be able to update this kernel as long as you run x86_64-kernel.sh every once in a while. I put it in XFCE session startup to run at each session login. You could do this with cron as well.
I tested what hapenned if something went wrong with this repo. Pacman handles this very nicely actually. If you delete the repository, it will complain but not immediatly install the 32bit kernel given you have a 64bit already installed with this repo.
A final note: If you build a lot of packages you could run into trouble. Someone in the forums made a good suggestion about that here -> ("init=linux32 /usr/lib/systemd/..."). This is a nice system-wide way to trick your buildsystem into believing it's a 32bit machine. This is sometimes required. I don't use as I don't have a problem with it. But keep this in mind.
EDIT: Fixed update script to overwrite core.db and not create new ones like core.db.n .

That is nice. Pity I did not know about this earlier. However, my method allows me to stick with the official packages. Thanks though!

BW in 64bits with 32bits

Dear Gurus!!!
I would like to know if I can work my landscapes of BW with:
Data Base Server Production 64bits
Application Server Production 32bits
Development Server 32bits.
Best Regards
Luis

OOOOOOOO, thats a good one.
SAP recommend you use 64bit unicode for all new systems. Yes it will work. for example you can run the DB on 64bit AIX with 32bit windows App Servers sat in from of it.
The only difference is the kernel, ie the SAP exes.
The 32bit DB client will be required on the 32bit App Servers.
Can i ask why you want to mix?

32bit or 64bit on Win7 with G550

Hi,
I have a little problem and need some advice.
I have a G550, with 1.8GHz Intel Celeron CPU, 2GB DDR-RAM, 250GB HDD and 4500Intel Graphics.
Which operating system will the laptop not run?
Win7 32bit or Win7 64bit?
I heard that using 64bit will have performance boosts, but as I dont know which WIN7 is the correct one for me I wanted to ask you guys.
Can I run WIN7 with 64bits on this laptop? If I am correct then this G550 that I am using is a 20023. But I didnt find any info on the net.
THanks for every answer,
Mahdi

.xlsm File use from Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit to Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit - Component Removed (not API related)

Work Environment: Excel 2013 64bit/Win7 64bit
Home Environment: Excel 2013 32bit/Win8.1 64bit (1 desktop and 1 laptop)
I am developing an an .xlsm file at work (with Lists and a single form with controls linked to a worksheet ControlSource). It works and saves all day long just fine in my work environment. I save the file to either a USB drive (or DropBox - makes no difference)
and then open the file on my home computer. I can open the file the first time with no problem and with no error messages. But then when I try to save the file Excel 2013 32bit most often tells me that it has removed a component. But it doesn't tell which
component it has removed. After that, if I close the file and try to reopen it, it won't reopen. I get a series of error message: [1] file path errors (error 75) [2] Excel has stopped working errors. [3] Excel hasn't enough memory to complete the operation,
[4] Excel will close. So I click the close button on the last error message and Excel disappears. I say disappears, because its not really gone. Mind you, its not listed in the Task Manager at this point. But, if I then click the Windows Taskbar icon to start
Excel, Excel will sometimes automatically open up with the file that I was trying to open before, already up and running, i.e. I do not select the file to open it - it just appears. Other time Excel just repeats the series of error messages noted above.
The strange part is, once this file has been corrupted, I can still take it back to my work environment, fire it up on my work computer, and it works just fine. No error messages, no saving problems.
I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2013 (HUP Click to Run) on both my home computers and it makes no difference.
I can say though, this is driving me nuts. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
phillfri

I think I solved the issue.
Step 1: Moved all my code from the Worksheet_Open event to the Auto_Open Macro.
Result: File would open from inside Excel but when opening by clicking on the file in Windows explorer I would get the error msg "There was a problem sending a command to the program."
Step 2: Apply FixIt 20074. Note that to get this FixIt to work in Windows 8.1 you MUST save the FixIt file to your desktop and run it from there. If you follow the instructions on the FixIt page - download and run - you will get the error msg "This Fixit
does not apply because the computer does not have the expected software (Excel.exe)."
Excel 2013 definitely seems to have some bugs when starting a macro enabled file. I have seen other comments on the internet about the Excel workbook_open event actually failing to run all the VBA commands that are put into it.
Environments:
[1] Home: Microsoft HUP Click-n-Run Office Professional 2013; Windows 8.1, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 32 bit.
[2] Work: Enterprise Microsoft Office Professional 2013; Windows 7, 64 bit; Excel 2013, 64 bit.

Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation compatible with Microsoft Office Powerpoint?

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and need to purchase iWork or Microsoft Office. Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation? If so, is it easy to use and compatible with Microsoft Office presentation software? The latter question is extremely important as we use Microsoft Office primarily at the college.

Yes, Keynote is iWork's PowerPoint equivalent. You can save as a PowerPoint file as well. Very easy to use IMO.

4GB OR only 2.2GB for single 32bit application in 64bit windows with 4GT and LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE set?

Hello,
Recently I used a software requiring a large memory. And I have tried to allocate more memory for this application, and I find some interesting phenomena which is different from the case I searched from Internet. Therefore, I am very curious about the mechanism
of memory management of WoW64.
With default setting, my application can only apply for 1.6GB memory (less than 2 GB barrier). And I use increaseuserva command by BCDedit, and it worked. With this setting, it can apply for 144 MB more memory (far less than 3 GB described on MSDN https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366718(v=vs.85).aspx).
And then I modified the PE headers to add a LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE flag, and it worked. The limit was changed to be 2.2GB, and it is far less than 4GB as they said!
What happened? How can I increase the limit to 4 GB?
I have tried two systems 64bit Win7 home premium and 64bit Windows10 TP.
Could anybody tell me what is the problem is?

I'd try them over here.

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.
