Feedback on XP Pro (guest OS) installation under VMware 5.5 on Linux host.

I successfully installed 10g XE on XP Pro (32 bit - with service pack 2 ) guest OS under Linux host (RedHat 4.0 ES - update 2).
The initial attempt was unsuccessful because of the MS Antivirus program (as some suggested on this forum). I then shutdown the listener service from command line, cleaned the registry for oracle entries (oci.dll was used by some application - I found it was Microsoft Transaction Server), then removed the oracleXE directory , set the oracle listener service to manual start (in services window), and then rebooted the machine. When logged back in, verified that the listener was not up, stopped the antivirus program and then reinstalled 10g XE. This time the installation was successful.
Realized the sys and system password is the same and by using the sql command tool as sys, you can create new tablespaces, new users, etc. (I could not find any other way to create a new tablespace or adding a new datafile to the existing users tablespace , from within the html_db based administration tool. I am a DBA, so I used the command line from the "Run SQL command line" icon (link). It displayed the SQL> prompt and then I connected as sysdba.
Next week, I will try installing 10g XE, on a Linux virtual machine (guest) running on XP 64 bit host. I will update this posting then...
I hope this proves useful.

Understood.
I will just create a simple document for our end users explaining and including related sql scripts - or better yet - I will configure, install XE on Linux to a specific directory and then do a cold backup - make a bzipped tar file to distribute to the customer (I know this type of distribution/installation is not supported but it is working and tested with Forms 6i c/s runtime with proper patchset). This is why I will support the XE Linux version only - you don't have to deal with the "registry".
For our application XE will serve real well - for a simple scenario creation, they can use XE and Forms 6i C/S runtime on Linux. If they want to use our real time game support which will populate the data in close-to-real time and uses iAS EE forms services, then they need the install standard edition.
I will update with Linux VMware virtual machine installation feedback as soon as I finish installing.

Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page.

Microsoft Office Pro plus 2013 installation wizard pops up everytime I open a Word document or a new page. I realize that other people have the same problem. However no answer has been found to stop this problem. I wonder if there is a
way. Hope someone is able to tell me and the others.

Hi,
By the installation wizard, do you mean the First Run screen? If yes, please follow the steps below to disable it:
STEP ONE: If you have not already, download the Office 2013 Administrative Template files. These can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35554
STEP TWO: Copy the ADMX files to %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions and the ADML files to the language specific folder (such as en-us) under %systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions.
STEP THREE: Using the Group Policy Management Editor go to User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Microsoft Office 2013 | First Run |
STEP FOUR: Set the Disable First Run Movie to Enabled and the Disable Office First Run on application boot to Enabled
Please check the result then.

Melon Chen

Acrobat Pro XI fails installation on Mac Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3

I've downloaded the Acrobat Pro XI Trial installation package twice. Each time I run the installer it fails. As the installer proceeds I see the following messages:
Copying Files
Running Scripts
Validating Packages
As soon as the "Validating Packages" message appears it is replaced by a message indicating that the Installation Failed.
In the PDApp.log file I see a number of error messages like the following:
Sun Jul 27 09:29:50 2014

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 will work under windows vista?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 will work under windows vista?

Hi,
Thanks for posting on forum. Windows Vista is not a supported platform for Adobe Premiere pro CS6 but, you can try the installation on Vista and check if it gets installed on it. Also, if it gets installed you might face further issues while using the product.
Thanks,

Quickoffice pro 7.0 installation failed in symbian...

quickoffice pro 7.0 installation failed in symbian anna nokia c7, even before and after uninstallation of previous quickoffice come with symbian anna,before uninstallation of previous quickoffice when i try to install quickoffice pro 7.0 it says "update error".........and after uninstallation of previous quickoffice when i try to install quickoffice pro 7.0 it says "unable to install" ..plz help me nokia

Hey Shajjeel! Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
Did you make any changes to your phone other than uninstalling quick office such as a software update?
There are two solutions on how to resolve this issue:
1.
We have distributed a new version of the Symbian Anna 1/2 installation package, that you can easily download by using the software update application on your phone (visible under Menu > Applications > Tools > SW Update for C7-00).
Note: If you have used the SW Update application in the last 24 hours, please reset the cache by changing the date of your phone to a date 4 weeks from now.
2.
Even if you got the message that the update failed, most of the content did get installed nevertheless. The only applications missing are the Quickoffice and Adobe Reader (pdf).
To finish the installation for those, you can download Quickoffice and the Adobe Reader (pdf) via the following links: http://dl.nokia.com/sdo/Adobe.sis and http://dl.nokia.com/sdo/Quick_Office.sis.
Please let me know if this solves your problem or if it still persists!

Okay - just realised that the last screen was just asking for a "title" for my question!
I have Adobe Acrobat XI standard, but would like to trial the "compare documents" feature on Pro. I tried to download a trial version of Pro, but the installer indicated that "it detected a more fully featured version of the product" - presumably my standard version? - and stopped installation. It is not clear to me what my options are for either upgrading to Pro, or selectively purchasing the "compare documents" plugin (if possible). I am using what is presumably an Enterprise version of acrobat (i.e. my employer owns it, not me) - so not sure what limitations that results in. I think this is a simple question, but would be grateful for advice.

- You can't install Acrobat Pro alongside Acrobat Standard. You will need to remove Standard to be able to install Pro.
- You (probably) can't upgrade your license if it's a part of an enterprise license. The entire license will need to be upgraded.
- It's not possible to install just the "Compare Documents" function as a sort of add-on to Acrobat Standard.

Will a Macbook pro early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15

My collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15 inch keeps getting stuck on the apple load up screen everytime he hits the power button. He doesnt know what version it is and I forgot to write down the model number of it(Ill update May 16 at 10am PST). I tried safe mode, it worked but after the loading bar gets close to 1/2 it freezes up. He can not find his installation disc that came with the computer. I have mine but its for Model # A1278 I think its snow leopard. Will the installation disc and application disc run successfully on my collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro?
I apologize if there's a similar thread out there, I couldnt find one. -

Will a MacBook Pro Early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 MacBook Pro 15?
No it will not.
Machine specific gray/back disks are for one model of Mac only as they only contain hardware drivers for that model, not previous ones.
The 10.6.3 white Snow Leopard retail disk will work and it's available from Apple online for a small charge.

This is indicative of a problem with the boot drive and the file structure retaining data on the drive.
The progress bar progressing and stopping means the fsck drive repair is failing, likley the drive incurred head shock damage at that point.
The boot drive itself is likely fine and the problem can be resolved but the disks are going to be required if it's running Snow Leopard.
First get the disks, then attempt Disk Utility > Repair Disk and check the SMART status if the drive is still good.
If there is no backup of data, get that off the machine using a external boot drive.
To fix that problem of a bad sectors, unfortutly the entire drive will need to be Zero Erased (security option > zero all data) using Disk Uility while c or option/alt key booted from the 10.6 disks (using a wired or built in keyboard), it's the only way.
This means all programs, files (remaining) and OS X will be removed in the process. You could replace the drive also.
