For .exe's and .msis with no silent option install

When packaging and installing executables and msi's with no silent install option, is the only recourse to enable interactive installation, or is there any other way to have it install, perhaps with defaults (next, next, finish etc.).
Thank you

One additional comment here, all MSIs have a silent install option because that's a function of the Windows Installer. It's possible for bad MSIs to circumvent this by either using a custom action that displays some UI or calls something that in-turn displays
UI.
As for exe's, if Installshield was used to build the exe, then you can create an .iss answer file as John pointed out.
I rarely see anything that can't be directly made silent. They do unfortunately exist though and your #1 option should be to contact the vendor and tell them their stupid, seriously (how will they ever know to fix it if someone doesn't tell them and relay
to them how problematic it is). Next you can try using AutoIT or you may have to repackage using AdminStudio or one of the other repackagers on the market.

i had problem with my apps,they open for a while and closes with in seconds i cant acess them and i had this with all apss,expect apple apps

Do you have a lot of apps? Did you use a lot of apps recently? If so, many of them may still be resident in memory even if you aren't currently using them. Double-tap the home key and you should see the app tray with a list of most recently used programs. Press and hold the icons in the tray and remove the ones you don't use often to remove them from memory. Powering off and then back on might also help.
My wife's iPod does that sometimes, and it's usually because we run out of memory due to apps remaining in memory even when not used. The suggestion above is how we normally fix the problems.

Hi! I've been using Goldmine contact management software for many years and syncing with Companion Link successfully, then ITunes to the IPhone. Suddenly, my IPhone is not recognized and won't sync. I see a message telling me to dock the phone? Any ideas?

IPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 (for Solaris 8 and 9) with patch 5.2hf2.13

Hi..
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004)
libimta.so 5.2 Patch 2 (built 19:30:12, Jul 14 2004)
I heard that SUN have released security vulnerability in Sun Java System or iPlanet Messaging Servers that may allow remote unprivileged users to craft specific messages which contain Javascript to be executed in the end user's browser.
The problem can be solved by using iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 (for Solaris 8 and 9) with patch 5.2hf2.13 or later..
where can I download patch 5.2hf2.13 for messaging server 5.2 ?

Hi,
If you have a support contract with SUN you can log a service request to get a copy of the patch via:

Hi,
I would like to ask you a question.
a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
I need your help!!,
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
VK

The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

Can anyone tell me how i get to speak to someone in customer service? they are retiring Forms Cental and i really need to speak to someone about the renewl of my subscription. THe live chat has been unavailable for two weeks and there is no other option to get in touch with these people. Any ideas anyone?

Hi SwarovskiUK,
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble contacting Customer Care. Live Chat is certainly available--are you not seeing the chat option on the Contact Customer Care page? Or are just not able to get through?
In any case, I should be able to help you myself. What can I do for you?

Install instructions for Search Modeler and integrating with Apps 11i

Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
o SES CPU patch apply
o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
o Search Modeler installation and configuration
o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
using aussearchdev initially
rh4 x86, default oracle build

ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
OC4J install
First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
as root on aussearchdev
cd /usr/local

So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
doing this on ausernieapp
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
PEM key is ausernieapp
openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
PEM key is ausernieapp

Organization Name Corporation
Organizational Unit Name Information Technology

No challenge password
No optional company name
Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
Install the private key and certificate

you can modify the logLevel from the default of 4 to 2 to get better debug data. No services need to be restarted, it will become active with the next crawl.
While talking with Oracle, they mentioned the following patches

Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
o SES CPU patch apply
o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
o Search Modeler installation and configuration
o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
using aussearchdev initially
rh4 x86, default oracle build
** htop and collectl are open source free performance monitoring packages we utilize**
--start
install htop and collectl

chkconfig collectl on
service collectl start
**We still need to install the necessary rpms so that collectl logs are compressed
--end
useradd -u 501 oracle
groupadd -g 504 dba
usermod -G 504 oracle

** /mnt/oraclebackup is a network dumpspot we use to hold Software installs, RPMs, etc
** /mnt/rpms is a network dumpspot we use to hold ISOs for OS software such as Redhat Linux
mkdir /mnt/oraclebackup
mkdir /mnt/rpms
add the following to /etc/fstab
XXXXXXX:/patches/oraclebackup /mnt/oraclebackup nfs defaults,hard,nolock 0 0
XXXXXXX:/esxpress/nfs /mnt/rpms nfs rw,addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 0 0
mount /mnt/rpms
Next need to install various oracle needed RPMs.
cd /mnt/rpms/rh40_upd8/RedHat/RPMS/
rpm -ivh perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.el4.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh libaio-devel-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh sysstat-5.0.5-25.el4.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-1.RHEL4.1.i386.rpm
service collectl restart

ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
OC4J install
First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
as root on aussearchdev
cd /usr/local
cp /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin .
chmod 700 jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
yes
install OC4J just by copying over the directory
as oracle on aussearchdev
mkdir -p /d01/oracle/oc4j
cd /d01/oracle/oc4j
cp -r /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/oc4j/* .

So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
doing this on ausernieapp
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
PEM key is ausernieapp
openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
PEM key is ausernieapp
Country US
State Texas
Locality Austin
Organization Name Corporation
Organizational Unit Name Information Technology
Common Name ausernieapp.domainname.com
Email address [email protected]
No challenge password
No optional company name
Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
Install the private key and certificate
cd $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.crt
cp server.crt server.crt.backup.03102010
chown applmgr:applmgr server.crt.backup.03102010

chown applmgr:applmgr server.key.backup.03102010
bounce apache as applmgr
cd /d01/oracle/erniecomn/admin/scripts/ERNIE_ausernieapp
./adapcctl.sh stop
./adapcctl.sh start
In IE

Continue
Click on Certificate Error next to URL bar
Install Certificate -> Next-> Place all certificates in the following store -> trusted root certificate authorities ->finish
close browser, back to https://ausernieapp.domainname.com:8443
no errors,

For troubleshooting, if you go to end of /d01/oracle/10.1.8/sesdev/search/data/config/crawler.dat
you can modify the logLevel from the default of 4 to 2 to get better debug data. No services need to be restarted, it will become active with the next crawl.
While talking with Oracle, they mentioned the following patches

Tips needed for multiple iPods and users with one PC...

We are a family of four, with four iPods and one PC. We have two (Windows) user accounts set up. My husband and son share one, and my daughter and I use the other. My husband's and son's music does not show up in my user library and visa-versa. There are some songs that my husband has purchased that I would like on my iPod, but there are songs that my daughter has that I DON'T want on my iPod. Is there a way to set up 4 separate librarys that can choose to share (or not share) songs?
Windows XP

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
b) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option (which you've already tried) is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

Need common interface across devices for word processing and spreadsheets with shared files

Need software for Mac, PC, iPad & iPhone with common word processing interface across devices (spreadsheet as well).
Need shared access to files through home NAS or cloud.
Trying MS Office 365, Google Docs & Sheets, OpenOffice,
Trying iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, WD MyCloud.
So far each has fatal flaw.
Suggestions?

Office, Office for Mac and the Office Apps for iOS can all read from and write to OneDrive. You can create folder structures however you want them, and read files from them normally though the Apps.
You do need an Office 365 subscription for certain editing features on the iPhone Office Apps though.
As to a backup, from either the PC or the Macbook, you should be able to simply drag and drop your files to the external drive form the OneDrive folder.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onedrive/id823766827?mt=12
You can access your documents from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Updates are applied almost immediately.
Why did One Drive not work?

Can I be billed for my membership and pay with a check?

My employer pays for Adobe Creative Cloud. There will be a change in leadership shortly. As a result our credit card will cancelled. Can we be invoiced and send a check in?

Unfortunately, you can only pay for your Creative Cloud membership with a valid credit card. You can either pay month-to-month without a contract at $74.99 per month, or you can enter an annual contract at $49.99 per month.

High availability for file server and exchange with 2 physical servers

Dear Experts,
I have 2 physical server with local disks only. I want to setup below on same with high availability, please advise best prossible options. We will be using windows 2012 R2 Server..
1. Domain controller
2. Exchange 2013
As of now I am thinking of setting up below:
1. Install Hyper-v on both and create 3 VM on each as
-On Host A- 1 VM for DC, 1 VM for File server with DFS namespace and replication for file server HA and 1 VM for Exchange 2013 with CAS/MBX with DAG and DNS RR for Exchange HA
-On Host B - 1 VM for ADC, 1 VM for File server DFS member for above and 1 VM for Exchange 2013 CAS/MBX with DAG member
I have read on internet about new features called scale out file server (SoFS) in Windows 2012 Server but not sure that will be preferred for file sharing.
Any advise will be highly appreciated..
Thanks for the help in advance..
Best regards,

Best regards,
DFS is by far the best way to implement any sort of file server. Because a) failover is not fully transparent and does not happen always (say not on copy ) b) DFS cannot replicate open files so if you edit a big file and have node rebooted you're going to
lose ALL transactions/updates you've applied c) actually slows down the config. See:
DFS for failover
http://help.globalscape.com/help/wafs3/using_microsoft_dfs_for_failover.htm
DFS FAQ

(check "open files" point here)
DFS Performance
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/08/22/windows-server-dfs-namespaces-performance-and-scalability.aspx
SoFS a) requires shared storage to run and you don't have one b) does not support generic workloads
(only Hyper-V and SQL Server) and c) technically makes sense to expand SAS JBOD or existing FC SAN to numerous Hyper-V clients over 10 GbE w/o need to invest money into SAS switches and HBAs and FC HBAs and new licenses FC ports. Making long story short:
SoFS is NOT YOUR CASE.

http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=12786
For now you need to find some shared storage to be a back end for your hypevisor config (SAS JBOD from supported list, virtual SAN from multiple vendors like for example StarWind see below, make sure you review ALL the vendors) and then you create a failover
SMB 3.0 share for your file server workload. See:
Clustered Storage Spaces over SAS JBOD

http://www.starwindsoftware.com/ns-configuring-ha-file-server-for-smb-nas
For Exchange you use SMB share from above for a file share witness and use DAG. See:
Exchange DAG
Good luck! Hope this helped :)
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

Support for an Upgrade and issues with Hard drive full.

I am on 10.6 Snow leopard and I need to get migrated into something later so I can take on better technology such as the ICLOUD and maybe get more productive. I am out of space on hard drive also and I have an older MAC. What can I do to keep going and maybe get upgraded and also not loose data. ? any suggestions, The Maverick upgrade says my older mac is not compatible.
Thanks
Steven Moore PS

I would be 'careful' and cautious with WD MyBooks anyway, but FW800 can be a great external off line backup.
What I would do is split two 1TB drives:
Drive A: OS and apps, 2nd partition for backup of Drive B which has all your media and data files.
Drive B: most all of your documents, video, music, photo, etc. which gets backed up to the 2nd half of boot drive.
Also, leave room for a backup of Drive A's OS and applications and for repairs and such like Disk Warrior.
It makes a "criss-cross." Great for dual drive setup.
I'd put your 250GB drive in FW case for backup also running Disk Warrior maintenance.

For .exe's and .msis with no silent option install
