Error message: "invalid command line argument" while lodaing itunes

I'm trying to load Itunes onto a computer that already has a version of itunes on it. I get a message that says "error: -1639 invalid command line argument" Does anyone know what this means? Does this mean I can't load itunes onto a computer that already has itunes on it?
Also, I was able to load itunes on my laptop, but My ipod Icon is not appearing anywhere, not in itunes, not in explorer, not in my computer. I am, however, able to transfer music automatically when I plug the Ipod into the laptop. I have created several playlists and they have transferred over to the ipod as playlists. Any ideas why I can transfer despite not being recognized anywhere on the computer?
Last thing is, I have plugged the Ipod into three different computers with itunes on them, and the ipod does not show up in the source list.
I'm somewhat perplexed by all of this. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

hiya!
"error: -1639 invalid command line argument"
hmmm. folks typically only get that error if they are installing from removable media (such as a CD), although i have seen it happen if someone tries to install into the "recovery partition" of certain makes of PC.
if you download and save an installer to your C drive and run the install from there, do you still get the 1639?

ERROR: -1639 INVALID COMMAND LINE ARGUMENT

Trying to install software for Shuffle that Santa brought and get this error messsage...
"Error: -1639 invalid command line argument. Consult the windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help."
Install stops at this point.
SOMEONE HELP... My kid is chomping at the bit !
Thanks.

Ok I'll do some more searching but I found something in the community forums.
APPSearch can not return this data into a property, so instead, for some unspeakable reason, returns a value of Null, follwed by another Null. This means that the property is created, and populated with two null characters. Bad news if the property also happens to be a PUBLIC property. All public properties are passed as part of the command line sent in a stream to the background installer process by the Execute Action. Since this stream now contains a double null value in a property, the stream is prematurely terminated. This creates an invalid command line, and thus the 1639 error.
This user solved it by using the MSi Cleanup installer util.
EDIT: A little more info...
This problem is almost impossible to detect through the MSI log files since our friends at Microsoft chose to limit the length of any line in the log. It is impossible to get a dump of the full command line that generates this error.
EDIT2:Note that error 1639 only ocurrs when the install package is run from removable media. When the package is run from local storage, the behavior is far more obtuse. The background install process, failing to receive a complete command line, is forced to run as if there had been no UI session, which in turn causes the APPSearch action to run again as if the install was running in silent mode. This causes re-evaluation of all properties a second time, destroying the feature selections made in the UI session, and also forcing the install to run under user credentials instead of elevated, even though AdminUser, ALLUSERS and Privleged properties are set. This is a very serious error that causes total failure of the installation.

Robot Test fails with error message Invalid command line: process must be

public class test
    public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception
        new java.awt.Robot();
}I'm using SLES Linux.
Is there any problem in my machine ?
How Robot tests generally works ?
Thanks !

try:
public class test{
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        try{
           java.awt.Robot myRobot = new java.awt.Robot();
        }catch(Exception e){
          System.out.println("It didn't work");
}from the API:
Note that some platforms require special privileges or extensions to access low-level input control. If the current platform configuration does not allow input control, an AWTException will be thrown when trying to construct Robot objects. For example, X-Window systems will throw the exception if the XTEST 2.2 standard extension is not supported (or not enabled) by the X server.

Setup error 530 invalid command line!!!!??

hi guys,
i have the following error in my addon installation process
<i>"Setup error 530 invalid command line"</i>
all my files .ard and setup.exe was generated correctly but whene i try to install my addon

Hi Manza,
What are you using to create your setup?
Have you tried the B1DE package? It contains 2 wizards to automatically create the setup of your addon together with the .ard file.
You can try to use it at least to use it as a sample of what is needed for your setup.
Are you setting something in the .ard Command Line arguments for installing/deinstalling your addon? Maybe the error is talking about it...

Error message in Command line (cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode)

Hello Experts
I'm new in Oracle and trying to connect to my database though SQL command line. After I login as SYS I user I get the message that 'connected to idle instance'. Then I use “STARTUP” to connect to database. Now from my understanding it should mount the database and open it as well. But it does'nt happens.Instead I get the message 'cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode' . I'm not sure why it can't mound the database and what should I do to make it working. Please can somebody show me how to make it working again. Here are the details about my problem
Enter user-name: SYS as SYSDBA
Enter password:
Connected to an idle instance.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you so much for both of you. I've checked everything. All looks fine to me and then i tried to connect though SQL and it worked. Now what I've notice that this time I didn't start Enterprise Manager only I started the listner and then start sql it worked. Does this means that I can't use both SQL and EM at a time together?

Error(1013011) Invalid Command 10099 Received in Request Manager

This error message appears both in the server and the app log files. It 'freezes' Essbase ( we can no longer communicate with Essbase and any other cube ). The only thing to do is to 'kill' the ESSSVR process (Unix). We are running the 6.1 patch3a version but I found in the archives such a problem with the 5.02.Hyperion suggested to set the following parameters in the cfg file but it didn't work...NETDELAY 500NETRETRYCOUNT 1000__SM__BUFFERED_IO TRUE__SM__WAITED_IO TRUEPlease somebody help !

We have Hyperion Planning version 3.0.0 installed in the system.
Also while connecting from Excel with the server we get a warning message stating " The version of Essbase(65000) is older than the version of the Essbase API(65200) you are using".
If we proceed further, we are able to connect to the application and retrieve the dimensions and the members. But the "Member Selection" and the "Find" property doesn't work throwing the error message "Invalid Command 11607 Received in Request Manager".
Please help...

do anyone had any idea on this.
Thanks a lot,

try checking relevant environment variables like the CLASSPATH.... a major source of failures in Windows is when in the classpath there is a path containing SPACES.... also enabling some "debug" or "verbose" flag (not sure how to do it) would provide more insight...

Pass dynamic Command line arguments

Hi,
I tried to pass dynamic command line argument to Web start using the method :
"javaws URL -D foo -D bar"
as explained in the "Unofficial JWS/JNLP FAQ" that " You can pass your own system properties to your app using -D switch ....", but I got the following error at the start;
error occurred while launching/running the application.
Category: Invalid Argument error
Too many arguments supplied: {http://...URL/my.jnlp, -Did=123 }
p.s. I already added the"<property name='' value=''/> in the <resourse>, and modified the main class to get the parameter using System. getProperty();
Did anyone try to this method before? What's wrong of this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

and in the main class "GUIFrame", i use System.getProperty("id") t get the parameter, if I hardcode the value of the "id" in this jnlp file and use javaws URL, everything's fine, but not the "javaws URL -Did=value" which will return the error as mentioned.
Thanks again for your help.

Setting Command Line Arguments for my Class

I don't know if this is the best way, but thats what I have done there for passing some arguments, where the order of them isn't pre-given (you can pass the params in the order you want).
The CAPITAL vars are pre-defined final Strings holding the param-names, e.g.
public static final String ONE_PATERN = "-p";
public static final String PATERNLIST = "-plist";
public static final String PATERNFILE = "-pfile";Another trick sometimes used in Linux/Unix, if you have only false/true combinations, are numbers from pow 2 (2,4,8,16). In C they are used because of the binary representation, but it has some benefits. E.g. a value of 2 (0010) and another true set on 4 (0100) results binary in 6 (0110), so you can mix parameters in only one value, and with a byte - array you could check, if the flag for a given param is set. But this way is a little tricky for the end-user.

                                    myBook.close(SaveOptions.yes);

Change the below line:
app.activeBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,File("D:\\AER\\WEBPDF.pdf"),false,myPDFExp ortPreset,bookComps);
to
app.activeBook.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE,File("D:\\AER\\WEBPDF.pdf"),false,myPDFExp ortPreset);

ITunes unable to recognize iPod, error message along the lines if "iTunes has detected an iPod but unable to recognise" I have followed all the trouble shooting tips and am still stuck? I am now being told by a friend I need a link sent to me to fix this

Hi,
I am need of help! I have had this issue for a while now and it's becoming frustrating.
My iTunes installed on my HP Windows 8 Netbook is unable to recognize my iPod, the error message along the lines of "iTunes has detected an iPod but unable to recognise"
I have followed all the trouble shooting tips and am still stuck? I am now being told by a friend I need a link sent to me to fix this??
Someone please help me fix this problem.
Many thanks.
Matt.

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

Problem associated with Command Line arguments

hi ,
I am not able to pass a file path as command line argument in java.
Actually i want to run a java program from the command prompt passing a file path . Something like this i tried to do , but its not working.
D:\VISHAL\src> java CopyFile C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt
where ,
CopyFile is the name of my class which i am going to run
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt is the argument.
Can anyone tell me whether a java program accepts an argument like this, if yes please tell me the exact syntax..
Thanks

is there any other way of solving this?Y don't U try it out with the logic as mentioned
below it wud be the case if U r not going with
java CopyFile "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt" 1
String filepath = new String();
for(int i = 0; i < Arg.length; i++)
filepath.append(Arg);
File f = new File(filepath);
What???? This is a non-solution to a non-problem. First of all, you would be constructing a filename without spaces, when the real path contains spaces. Secondly, even if you did insert spaces it would not matter. What if the String (and it does not have to be a filename) contained tabs rather than spaces. The real (and really only) solution to the problem is to put quotes around the argument, for the exact reason stated in my last post.

Read in file name + path using command line arguments

Hi guys,
I am trying to use command line arguments to read in the name of two files. The code below works as long as the files are on the class path.
public class cmdLineArguments {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          String xmlFile1 = args[0];
                String xmlFile2 = args[1];
          System.out.println ("\nXmlFile1: " + args[0] + "\nXmlFile2: " + args[1]);
}I would like to be able to read files that are not on the class path as well by entering their full path along with their names.
In other words, It works if I type:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs file1.xml file2.xmlbut not if I type:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\workspace\CmdLineArgs\src>java cmdLineArgs c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlWould anyone please explain how I can edit the code to make it work? I guess I could take them both as a String, modify them manually (add a \ to it etc) but is there an easier way to do it? Even a reference to a tutorial, article etc about this would be very much appreciated.
Also, any idea why a code would compile and run fine in Eclipse but would create an error from command line?
Thanks a lot.

You need to learn about cmd.exe which is used to process the command line. The arguments passed to any program is the command line split at white space so your command line arguments of
c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xmlis turned into an array of
"c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml", "c:\Documents", "and", "Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"In other words instead of 2 arguments you actually have 6.
To get round this the file names need to be quoted
java cmdLineArgs "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file1.xml" "c:\Documents and Settings\user\desktop\file2.xml"
