Export Windows native installer from MAC

Hello,
I am developing an desktop app that needs to be compiled into Native installer (because i'm using NativeProcess class).
The fact is that i am working on FB4.7 OSX and i'm only able to compile the Mac version of my app (into .dmg file), and not the windows one...
Is there a way to build that Win version from my mac ?
(it would be a shame not to be able to export both versions, or my conception of AIR is wrong...) ?
Thanks,
Arthy

After you downloaded the Windows Media Player, did you use the Stuffit expander to unpack the file? If not, go here http://www.allume.com/mac/index.html and download the free version of Stuffit. Once you have expanded the file you will see the install file for the Windows Media Player, click on that and it should install properly.
The player is compatible with Tiger.

Adobe AIR HTML/JS application and Windows Native Installer

Hi,
I am building an Adobe AIR application with HTML and Javascript and I would like to know how to make an Windows Native Installer.
I am trying to build it with Flash Pro but it keeps returning the error 'Invalid SWF file'. At the application.xml file the <content> points to my index.html file. I don't use any SWF file. When I change this to point to the SWF it does build tha installer but the application loads the SWF.
Is there any way to build a Windows Native Installer and the initial content be an HTML file?
p.s. I tried to extract the files from the installer file and edit the application.xml there to point to the index.html. But I can't repackage the files to a valid air native installer.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. The internal bug number for the issue is #2740755. The issue is currently under review and will be investigated by one of AIR team members.

Native Installer on Mac - not for App Store

I am trying to get an Air 3.1 native installer application to work for Mac under Mountain Lion's security model. The app is not for distribution from the App store but it is downloaded from the web so it triggers Gatekeepers security on both the Installer and the App.
I am signing the Air app with a standard (Not Apple Developer) certificate. I then copy the contents of the Dmg (the installer) into a new directory and use my Apple Id to codesign the Installer. This allows the installer to run but when it attempts to actually launch the app, Gatekeeper stops it saying that "the App is not from the App Store or an Authroized Developer"
I tried to use the Apple Developer Cert in Flash Builder but I get an error stating to check my cert or system time (see this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4576223#4576223)
I know I can use adt to create the base App (use the bundle option). I can then sign the base app with the Developer Cert. But how can I take that app and produce a native installer from it?
Also, this app DOES NEED webkit resources - ifthat helps.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Barbara I´ve done what you suggested and I´m having the same problem. Its freezed. Is there any way I can download the update? I´m
stuck with a Photoshop that doesnt work. Adobe says that they cant help without a serial number and apple doesnt let me update. This is the most bizarre I have lived in terms of software.

Windows Native Authentication from Windows 7

Has anyone successfully tested SSO with Windows Native authentication from a windows 7 client ?
I have a working setup with SSO on OID 10.1.4.3 but with windows 7 client I get the fallback login prompt instead of automatic login.
I have got a workaround from support but it still does not work:
- on the client Windows7 PC to to PC security policies (Policies -> Network Security -> Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos) and select all of them EXCEPT the “Allow future types” option;
- change the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\SuppressExtendedProtection = REG_DWORD with a value of 3 (please take a backup of the registry settings before any change).
Thanks // Kerstin

Export to LMS fails from Mac

I have a project publishing to ComplianceWire, a Scorm 1.2 compatible Windows-based LMS.
When published as Scorm 1.2 from Windows, it imports to the LMS and works fine. The same project published with the same settings from Mac fails to import, causing server IO errors with "bad characters in path" messages.
Our testing tells us it is not our assets, but Captivate's Mac publishing which is the problem.
We are a Mac shop, so obviously a serious blow to productivity, not to mention that it means I have to maintain a Captivate for Windows installation, which means that I can't have Creative Cloud on my MacBook. This is a bad deal all the way around.

Not sure if my problem was similar.
My problem was pdf report used to display 5 pages on end users comp and 2 pages on mine.
Problem was with Acrobat reders page size setting. I changed it through the reporting application and problem was solved. I dont know how and where to change settings in Acrobat reader.
Hope this directs your efforts

Issue with Native installer in MAC

I packaged my application as a dmg file(native installer). But when I tried to install on a mac (Lion OS) it shows that the application is already installed which is not true. When I searched the location of the installed application, it points to the disk image in /Volumes folder. So I can never install the application as it always points to the application in disk image and says that the application is already installed.

How to Export photos and videos from Mac to iPhone?

Hi everyone,
I was trying to export a video from my Macbook Pro (Mid 2014) running latest version of OS X to my iPhone 5 (running iOS 8). I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far. It's easy to do in a windows computer just copy and paste but I don't know how to do it in a Mac...
Could anyone here help me with that??
Thanks

running latest version of OS X
Is that MacOS X 10.9.5, or have you upgraded to a Beta version?
I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far.
What are your settings on your iPhone for iCloud? Have you enabled iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo Library?
Then you are out of luck. With these settings, syncing of photos with your iPhone is disabled, so you can no longer sync with iTunes.
And the Photo Stream is behaving buggy and will not sync from your Mac to the iPhone.
Try, if disabling these settings and restarting the iPhone will help.
Otherwise, mail the photos or put them into Dropbox, until you can upgrade to Yosemite and iCloud Photo Library on your Mac.

Windows Media Installer for Mac

I tried to install WM for the Mac; when the installer comes up, it says searching my computer, but the ball keeps spinning. When I go to force quit, it says it's not responding. I downloaded the latest version (9) from the internet. Is this not compatible with Tiger? Friends using P'Cs send me some cute clips sometimes, and I'd love to be able to see them. I tried shutting down all running programs and then running the installer-- no luck. Also, ran disk permissions, Disk Warrior-- no problems there.

Print to Windows Shared Printer from Mac on wireless network

My set up is: HP Deskjet 1050 410 USB to a WIndows 7 PC. The PC has 4 users, each password protected for login and public (not protected) folders. The Macbook is running OS X 10/6/8. I have downloaded the latest HP drivers.
I found the printer on the workgroup network and installed it as the only printer on the Macbook. When I send a job to print, I am prompted to either login as a guest or as a user with a password. Either way, I get an eror message "On Hold (Authentication required)" Under Job Info is the following message "NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER"
THis is an improvement over what was happening before when I could not find the printer in the list and had to manually use the IP address. Even then, I could not print, I would get a communication error.
The first time I installed the printer driver (an earlier driver and earlier release of OS X 10.6) I had no problems printing from the Macbook. It found the printer and printed without any password authentication. Nothing has changed on the PC, the printer is shared with all users on the network, but I can't seem to print.
I noticed many postings with similar issues but I did not see any resolution. Help! (Thanks!)

hey just want to say thanks to you guys... I just this week switched to Mac after 14 years of heavy PC use. Mac's been awesome except for that I couldn't print to my PC based printer... now I can... and I couldn't of done it with out this apple discussion thread about HPIJS.

Can't print to windows Vista printer from Mac OS 10.6.7

Hi All,
Proud new owner of iMac 27" and have successfully managed to set up file sharing between my new Mac and current Windows Vista machine. Windows is attached to a Belkin 54g wireless router. A Canon MP960 is attached to the Windows machine via USB. The Mac is working with the network via Airport.
Problem is that I can't see the printer from the Mac. I have tried manually setting up the printer to be shared with the Mac via:
Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Print & Fax from the View menu.
Click the + button to add a printer.
Press the Control key while clicking the "Default" icon (or any other icon on the toolbar), then choose Customize Toolbar from the contextual menu that appears.
Drag the Advanced (gear) icon to the toolbar.
Click Done.
Click the Advanced icon that was added to the toolbar.
Choose Windows from the Type pop-up menu.
In the URL field, type the printer's address in one of the following formats:
smb://workgroup/server/sharename
smb://server/sharename
Note: "workgroup" is the name of the Windows workgroup that the computer sharing the printer belongs to. "server" is the name of the computer sharing the printer (or its IP address). "sharename" is the shared Windows printer's share name. If the share name contains spaces, replace each space with "%20" (without quotation marks).
Tip: You don't need a "workgroup" when specifying the IP address of the computer (such as when the printer is on a different subnet), or if your Mac belongs to the same Windows (SMB) workgroup.
In the Name field, type the name you would like to use for this printer in Mac OS X.
Choose the appropriate PPD or printer driver from the "Print Using" pop-up menu.
Click Add
I have also allowed printer sharing on the windows machine. I still can't print!
Can anyone please help? Are there some settings I could have missed?

I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850. This did not fix my problem.

Windows 7 installation from USB drive issue

I tried installing Windows 7 through a USB Thumb drive. I got an error message saying
"No device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK."
Please help me.

Hi:
See if either of the driver files I have attached work.
If they don't, I won't be able to assist you any further.
You will have to try each of them separately, because they have the same file names in the folders.
Download, unzip and copy just the files in the folders to a usb flash drive.
With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
You should now see the storage driver files listed.
If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

Can't install native installer for Mac OS

I can't install any dmg that compiled with adt native api.
For example at this article
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/interacting_with_native_process.html
Installer says:
"This application requires an update to Adobe AIR that is not available for your system.
Please view the system requirements for Adobe AIR and update your system accordingly."
I have last stable air runtime: 2.0.2
Mac OS 10.5.8

I had the same problem, i find out the following solution, that worked out:
this may happen if you are using a custom keyboard layout. delete the file /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.HIToolbox.* and log out/in. try software update again.

Windows authentication fails from Mac browser when LB is in between

(1)     A new instance of Windows server 2008 R2 is taken and IIS server is installed.
On IIS server, ‘Windows Authentication’ is enabled and all the other authentication (anonymous, basic) is disabled.
(2)     From Safari browser on Mac, a IIS resource (protected by Windows Authentication) is accessed by directly accessing IIS server. The resource access is successful.
(3)     Now a Load Balancer is configured in front of IIS server.
(4)     From Safari browser on Mac, a IIS resource (protected by Windows Authentication) is accessed by accessing load balancer. Here IIS server prompts for username and password.
Seems that authentication negotiation is failing between Mac browser and IIS when LB is in between. Can somebody pls know the reason / resolution for this issue ?
Thanks

I was just helping someone with this same issue, and found this post searching for answers. I think it's a problem with your web hosting provider. It looks like whois is saying you both use readyhosting.net, is that right?
If you go into the developer options and override the User Agent string, you can make the issue start and stop. When the user agent string starts with "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1", then the page with show the error message. If it starts with anything else, then it works fine.
This, and the fact that you did not make any changes to your site makes it sound like your hosting provider changed something. You probably need to have them fix it somehow.

Creating Windows Application Installer from Flash

Hey,

Im trying to find out with there is a possibility to convert or make a flash .exe file into a Windows Application and have it installed on the the computer.
I mean when you click the file it starts to instal on the computer like an application, creates shortcuts and so on. im guessing it has soming to do with AIR but cant seem to get it.
Any help will be much appriciated. Thanks in advance!
pavel

Ya i googled it and came up with many results, I was
just wondering if anyone thought one was better than
othersAh.
Well, it would have been good if you'd stated that in the first place. That might have engendered some discussion.
Better still would be if you tried out two or three of them, formed your own opinion, then posted that here and asked if other had similar experiences, or if there were any major issues that you might have missed in your testing, etc.
