DownloadNetThing fails in Director MX ver.10 under Windows-XP

Hi:
DownloadNetThing and getNetText returns netError 4165 when I
execute following lingo command in Director MX authoring
environment.
netID = downLoadNetThing("
http://www.hostname.domain/filename.extension",
"Full path to my local file")
put netDone() ....... This shows 1
put netError() ........ This shows 4165
Now if I paste above http url in Internet Explorer it shows
the content of the text file!
I have installed Director MX ver 10 on Windows-XP (latest
update). There is no antivirus or filewall software installed on my
computer. I tried adding Director MX as application in the
exception list of windows firewall. Still the operation fails.
I would be very much thankful if someone let me know what is
going wrong.
Thanks for your time.
Deepak

y googled for 4165 an found that can be bad url or file
error.
If fails by url change downloadnetthing by getnettext (like
the help example getNetText ("
http://BigServer.com/sample.txt")),
dont use the browser to test the url, that is because netlingo and
a browser works different (the browser has cache, for example)
after netdone = 1 check nettextresult().
That is to isolate the problem, if this fails, is a net
problem, if not is a file access problem,

  • All-in-one driver installation fails under Windows 7

    I am trying to install the all-in-one printer driver for Windows 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1.  I have downloaded the installer from HP (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe), downloaded it using HP Print and Scan Doctor 4.3 and using the HP Printer Install Wizard (hppiw.exe).  All methods fail.  My computer is a new Dell Inspiron (Intel i5-4440 @ 3.1GHz, 8GB RAM, 64-bit OS).  The printer I am installing for is a HP 6310, which is old but which has worked well for years under Windows XP.  I don't think the printer is an issue since the installer never reaches the point of scanning for hardware.
    Symptoms:
    Installing using the downloaded installer, the initial splash screen displays.  Selecting "Install" displays a second screen with several progress indicators beginning with "Checking system...".  After checking for a few seconds, an error box pops up complaining that it can't find a file named "hpzpnp.ice_suffix..exe". 
    There are two files in the Setup directory named "hpzpnp01.exe" and "hpzpnp04.exe".  The Autorun file contains many references to an %ICE_SUFFIX% environment variable. 
    I guessed that the installer executables did not have enough privelege to set environment variables, so I went through the installer directories and set all the executables to run with administrator privelege. 
    After that, running "Setup.exe" from the top of the install tree, the initial splash appears, followed by the second "checking system..." progress display.  Then a new window with advice about keeping firewalls turned on, etc. pops up.  Continuing from that point pops up a new error box saying:
    "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files (sLar dig mer med hjalp av en demo pa skarmenHitta enkelt dina foton med onskad metod-Datum, Markning, Mappar, Sok, Favoriter)\HP\."
    I have done this multiple times, and the parenthesized phrase (Swedish?) is sometimes different, but always wrong.  It looks to me as though the installer is trying to decide whether to install 32- or 64-bit drivers, but can't decide which.  It fails to initialize a string variable and concatenates garbage onto the "C:\Program Files" path string.
    I have also seen an error box with the following error near this point:
    "C:\Users\Sid\AppData\Local\7zS4689\Setup\hpzrein01.exe" "-wStub" "3...
    "The parameter is incorrect."
    Clicking OK on the error box aborts the installation.
    Installing using the HP Printer Installation Wizard produces the same error message as the initial attempt with the downloaded installer about missing files with names containing "ice_suffix".
    Installing using the HP Print and Scan Doctor progresses as far as the "path is too long" message.
    I've done this now many times, trying different things, without success.  After each attempt, I run the Uninstall_L4 utility in utils\ccc under the installer tree, then run the OS Disk Cleanup utility.  Following an earlier post, I installed the latest version of Flash Player, with no change in symptoms.
    Any fresh ideas would be much appreciated.

    Hi ehildum,
    Thank you for the time and effort you put into your post. I can see you have done plenty of troubleshooting on your own, but I do have an idea.
    If the USB cable is plugged in this could be causing issue. Assuming it is connected, let's unplug and take a look at the Device manager. The hpzpnp.ice_suffix indicates a plug and play 'pnp'.
    Follow these steps and let me know what happens.
    Click on Start
    Right click on Computer
    Select Manage
    On the left panel, click on Device Manager
    Click on View at the top and select Show hidden devices
    Look in the list for Other devices
    If you see the printer here, right click and select uninstall
    Look in the list and click on the arrow next to Printers
    If you see the printer here, right click and select uninstall
    Delete all files in the %temp% folder
    Restart the computer
    Open the installer from your download  (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe)
    Do Not plug the USB cable in until the software says so.
    Please let me know the outcome of these efforts. If your USB cable was not connected please complete the above steps anyway to see if there is something stuck in the Device manager that could be causing the conflict.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Flash 8 support in Director MX (ver 9.0)

    At the
    http://www.adobe.com/support/director/downloads.html
    there is new support for Flash 8 SWF files in MX 2004. This is
    great and has been highly anticipated by many users. Unfortunately,
    I'm using Director MX (ver 9.0) and have a need for the support as
    well. My only option at this point is to convince the department to
    upgrade to 2004. This is unfortunate only because there are rumors
    of a new version of Director to be released. Does anyone know if I
    buy 2004 now if the new version will be a free upgrade? Or if there
    is something I can do to get Flash 8 SWFs to play in MX (ver 9.0)
    until the new version comes out which we will purchase.
    John Tumino

    Adobe has not released any information about the pricing for
    the next
    version of Director, upgrade or otherwise, so anything that
    anyone says
    on this board about it is purely speculation. But that said,
    I would
    very seriously doubt that it would be a free upgrade.
    I have not tried this, but you can try to download the 10.1
    update from
    Adobe's site and pull out the Flash Asset xtra. Put that into
    your
    xtras folder, and it may allow you to work with newer Flash
    files. Or
    it may not. But it is worth a try. Be sure to back up any
    files you
    overwrite, since it may very well cause problems.

  • Is Buddy API baSetDisplay working in Director 11.5 under Windows 7?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to update some of my old games.
    The "baSetDisplay" of Buddy API is not working under Windows 7 in Director 11.5
    Did someone had made it working?
    Any solution to change resolution to have a fullscreen game?
    Thanks

    Were you looking for someone to test other platforms such as Vista?... or are you looking for verification... or a solution?
    I'm guessing a solution is not going to be available, but I would recommend constraining the video from going off the monitor if you haven't already added that 'feature' for win7 (you can test the OS easily enough using the platform property).
    Anyways, if you can clarify what assistance you are looking for then that'd help.

  • Sqlplus.exe fails to launch under Windows XP ([...] MSVCR71.dll [...])

    Hi,
    when I try launching sqlplus.exe under Windows XP, I get the error, in French
    "Cette application n'a pas pu démarrer car MSVCR71.dll est introuvable. La réinstallation de cette application peut corriger ce problème."
    which is approximately translated to
    "This application couldn't start since MSVCR71.dll can't be found. Reinstalling this application could fix this problem."
    I don't suppose reinstalling would help since I just unzipped Basic Lite and SQL*Plus, then set PATH.
    I'm getting this after failing to connect to my server on Debian. My Windows administration talents are fading. What could cause and fix this problem?

    from metalink note 338900.1
    1 - Download .NET from the Microsoft Website as this will include this run-time library.
    This should install the file under the Windows\System32 directory automatically.
    OR
    2 - Search for available sites to Download the MSVCR71.DLL file.
    This can be placed within the Windows\System32 directory or any other location but the location
    must be found listed within the PATH environment variable. Keep in mind, downloading this file from a site other than Microsoft's may have some adverse affect to your machine as the actual source of the file may be unknown.

  • Director 12 under Windows OS 64 bit

    Do you know why Director 12 (as Director 11.5) uses only one core of the  processors when running under Windows Seven 64 bits ?

    Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.

  • Using scripting with networking equipment under Windows

    It can be a challenge to use scripting to automate working with Cisco devices. The Cisco IOS does not seem to directly provide a command line interface. You are forced to find a way to automate interaction with a telnet or ssh session.
    The PERL language provides a number of object-oriented methods to help manage an interactive session, most notably Net::SSH::Expect and Net::Appliance::Session. These options can work well in a Unix environment, but not under MS Windows.
    There are PERL for Windows options, the best probably being Strawberry PERL. There is also a Unix under Windows option known as CYGWIN that is freely available. Unfortunately none of these will work well with the way Windows manages low-level terminal I/O. The curious can google "windows pseudo terminal" to see all the technical details.
    One way that does work under Windows is Tcl.  It was initially named Tool Command Language. It is sometimes shown as Tcl/Tk.
    Interestingly enough, Tcl is included within Cisco IOS as tclsh. There is no interaction with the tclsh and this example. It is just a bit of a curious coincidence.
    A Tcl port to Windows can be downloaded from http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/downloads. Select Download ActiveTCL for Windows. A direct link to the download that worked at the time of writing is Download ActiveTcl 8.5.14 for Windows (x86)
    Once base Tcl has been downloaded and installed there is one other component that will need to be installed from the Tcl Extension Archive, the expect package.
    The teacup program that is installed with the base Tcl package makes this easy. The teacup program will work with a proxy.
    You can set these Windows environment variables to specify proxy details:
    set http_proxy=
    set http_proxy_user=
    set http_proxy_pass=
    Then run teacup install expect
    The plink tool from the PuTTY download is also needed. It can be obtained from http://www.putty.org/.
    The sample that follows assumes that the data files, script and plink.exe executable all reside in the same directory.
    A sample Tcl script follows that reads a file of devices and a file of commands. It will run the list of commands against each device in the device file. It has some basic error checking, but should best be considered a ‘beta’ version. You could do more complex interactions in the Tcl script by adding exp_send and expect command statements. In short, if you can type it you could script it!
    Change directory to where your script, plink.exe  and data is stored and run with  tclsh <script_name>
    devices.list
    # Comment lines are allowed if they start with a hash mark
    # <IP_Addr> <userid> <password> <ssh|telnet> <timeout_in_secs>

  • Firefox does not "close" when closed under Windows 7; Task Manager must be used to "End Process." How do I close Firefox and reopen it without getting a "Still Running" error message?

    Even though Firefox has been updated multiple times (currently using Ver. 3.6.13) since I started using Windows 7, I am still unable to totally close it from the toolbar or taskbar. Firefox does closeout on the screen but apparently continues to run in the background. If I open Firefox at a later time, I get an error message stating that Firefox is still running. I then have to go Task Manager to "End Process." Electing to do so allows me to restart Firefox. I never had this problem with Firefox when using Windows XP and I never have this problem with any other software under Windows 7.

  • Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

    Hello,
    Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
    I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
    Their are no apparent viruses detected.
    Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
    System is Windows 7 (64bit).

    well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
    I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
    I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
    I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
    when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
    is all the rest of the disk space)
    what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
    I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

  • New iPod touch does nothing under Windows XP

    I have been bought a new iPod touch to put all my existing CDs onto. We already have iTunes from a previous iPod, and on connecting the touch to the Windows XP machine, all I got was the "install new hardware" screen, asking for a CD, which of course, Apple dont provide.
    I checked the support pages, and it recommended installing the latest iTunes. I attempted to do this, and it wiped my registry, passwords, and killed the wireless link. After spending a day re-setting all this, and finally installing iTunes again (10.5 I think), the same thing happens - connect the touch via the USB cable, and "install new hardware" appears requesting a driver from the Apple CD.
    Again, been on the support site to find help, and the only article I have found is to use MSCONFIG to turn everything off. I did this, but (surprise, surprise) it doesnt work.
    So I am now stuck with a half dead Windows XP machine that works with the old iPod, and an iPod touch that works with nothing.
    Other than returning the iPod touch to the retailer, what options do I have ?

    Hi lllaass,
    Sorry for the gap in replying.
    Funny you should highlight that link, because it states on it that they dont expect a re-install to work under Windows, and ... you guessed it ... it didnt work !
    I have tried re-installing it again and again, and I gave up. I kept getting a message that the previous install of iTunes failed, and that I had to complete THAT before I could un-install it - useful.
    So, like I said, I gave up. I think re-installing for three weeks is enough.
    Thanks anyway.

    filesize is 5,6 GB and im running Quicktime 7.7.5, the file was encoded using avid media composer.
    Other (smaller, around 2GB) files from the same source and using the same codec will play back fine!
    This file is running fine on my macbook (10.8.5), but will fail to play under windows 7 bootcamp or on my PC.
    I've read about filesize-limits around 4 GB, is there some truth to that?
    thanks for your help
    EDIT: i need to be able to play back the file with quicktime-components (not vlc or something like that)  because im working with protools, which is using quicktime for video-playback.

    Thanks for your reply nyc.
    But the code i copied is in fact an extract of the USBDescriptors.c present in this directory.
    If I try to execute this example, the result is the same.
