Force custom installation with Packagemaker/Iceberg

Hi everyone,
I'm building an installer for After Effects plug-ins, and I need the end user to select either the AE 6.5 or AE 7.0 version to install from the Custom Installation menu in the metapackage installer I've created.
The issue is I want the Custom Installer page to pop up as soon as the user selects the installation Volume and the installation directory. Currently, if you choose the Volume and Directory, it goes straight to the Easy Installation page, and I don't want this to happen, since click-happy users are going to try to blaze right through the installer and install to the wrong location.
In 10.4, this is possible by leaving both installer packages in the metapackage set to "Unselected," which makes the user select the install destination, plus choose which version to install. I need this to work in OS 10.3.9, but I just can't get it to work the same way with both packages unselected. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
Thanks,
Marco

Thanx Jeff!
and sorry for replying so late
like with many other things, reading notes carefully can help a lot
problem was solved by setting
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
for sapinst as described in sap note 722273

Custom Installer with Inno Setup (reduce size of Run-Time and VISA RT)

Hi,
we are using Inno Setup to install our Application. Up to now i include the full LabView 2009 SP1 Run-Time and the full VISA-RT
(that are 302 MB). I have also made an installer using the internal tools of LV and the setup is only 163 MB. The LV removes
some parts of the RunTime libraries.
We are using only these parts:
p0 MetaUninstaller\
p1 VC2005MSMs\
p10 NI-RPC\
p11 XercesDelayLoad27\
p12 NI-ORB\
p13 NI-DIM\
p14 NI_TraceEngine\
p15 NI-PAL\
p16 NI_Logos_XT\
p17 TDMS\
p18 MDFSupport\
p19 MKL_900\
p2 VC2008MSMs\
p20 NI_Logos\
p21 RT\
p3 NI_Certificates\
p4 NI-VISA_Runtime\
p5 LabVIEW_RT_NBFIFO_90\
p6 Service_Locator\
p7 LabVIEW_Web_Server_RTE_90\
p8 LabVIEW_WebServices_RTE_90\
p9 mDNS_Responder\
1. Is it allows to do that also using Inno Setup? I mean, am I allowd to do that? The license from
NI etc. are all included. I want to save disc space...
2. Is that wise? If not, why?
Thanks

Hello sjunge,
basically there should be no problem installing the software with Inno Setup as long as you do not violate the License Agreements.
But keep in mind that there could be dependencies between the installers you install and those you don't and you may run into trouble with the software later on
Kind regards

Can Packagemaker create installer with content files outside the bundle?

I'm trying to create an installer with Packagemaker, but the content files need to be outside the final bundle because they're shared with a Windows installer.
I thought I could create a symbolic link to the external folder, but instead of linking from the installer, it copied the files into the bundle. Any idea how to do this, or if it's even possible? I need to be able to do this on 10.3+, if that's relevant.
(I can give a more specific scenario if this isn't clear enough)
Thanks!

The main issue I'd be worried about is that the external files (which are quite large) won't have the appropriate progress bar. The external files are around 1GB, while the internal files are in the 30MB range.
How about installing a secondary installer with progress bar that copies these files from the correct location. Your postflight script can just kick off the newly installed file copier.
How's this sound for a hack...
Have a launcher script copy the installer to /tmp, then modify the package to point my files. (I'm installing from read-only media.) It would then open the modified installer which would pull my files from the DVD. This would probably work better (read: at all) if the files aren't compressed inside the package. Do you know if that's an option?
No, sorry. The internals of a package are quite specific. You need PackageMaker itself to build them.
Things like the receipts are non-essential at this point, only because if I can't get this to work then we will continue to use our terrible installer which leaves none of those things. Those shouldn't be too much trouble if I can get the rest to work.
There are some 3rd party installers like Installer VISE. The sad part is that they tend to make the MacOS X Installer look good.
If the guy responsible for that is interested I'll show him Inno Setup, but we have a working Windows installer, so he probably won't want to mess with it.
I agree, but tell him about it anyway. The next time you have to build a Windows installer, he could use Inno Setup and get it done in a couple of hours and then have time to help with the mess that is software deployment on MacOS X.

AIR application installer with multiple languages

How can I distribute my AIR desktop app for Windows and OS X, with multiple languages in the installer? My app itself is completely localized, but I want the installer to be localized too. The issue is, though, that I need it to be localized into Hebrew, which isn't one of the built-in AIR languages. How can I create a custom installer with Hebrew included?
Thank you!

Hi,
Would it be possible to get the URL to the page that has your AIR badge installer (or the html if it's not publicly viewable)? We'll probably also need further info on the system that's failing, if possible could you post the installer log and check to see if the following file exists:
Win 7:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\airappinstaller\airappinstaller.exe
Mac
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/airappinstaller/airappinstaller
Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if necessary.
Thanks,
Chris

Silent install Air Runtime and Air App with custom installer?

I want to use a custom installer that will perform some actions, and then silently install air runtime and an air application. The goal here is to be able to perform a customized install for an Air application (for a user that might not have Air installed) without confusing the user with multiple install screens. Can I use a custom installer to silently install Air (if the user doesn't have it installed) and the Air app? If so, are there any restrictions on the custom installer? If there are any examples of this, please provide the links.

Since you applied for the distribution from Adobe you should
have received a link to a page where you can download what they
call the "side-car" installer. It's basically an installation
system they are making available to developers that can be easily
configured to deliver a bundled runtime and application
installation for Mac and Windows.
Check your email again and see if you can't find a link in
there pointing you to a download page for the AIR runtime as well
as the aforementioned side-car installer. For those who don't know,
here
is where you can apply for a redistribution permit for AIR.
I have a small tutorial posted that might be of help to you
on my blog:

BOE XI v3.1 Custom Installation

Running a Custom installation of BOE XI v3.1 is forcing the use of MySQL as our CMS database. One of the first installation screens has us choosing "Custom" or "New" installation.
But there is no possibility of choosing an existing database server with the "Custom" install.
According the installation guide, pg. 73, we should be able to use an existing database server for the CMS with a Custom installation.
We would like to use SQL Server and have set up the database and ODBC. There is no problem configuring this when we try a "New" installation, the problem only occurs with the "Custom" installation.

Yes, I think we did select "Enable servers upon installation". On the "Please select which features you would like to Install" screen, when selecting to install "Central management Server", we expanded the Central Management Server and for MySql selected "Entire feature will be Unavailable". Look at page 69, step 3 of XI3.1 installation guide for Windows.

Custom installation using XE

Basic installation of SOA Suite does not seems to work, I don't why.
I have tried Custom installation using XE Database which works but Apcahe
Web Server is throwing exceptions in installation phase (when installation process tries to launch unmanaged Apache module when configurating it) so it terminates too. So boring!
Is it possible to use XE's Http server as SOA Suite's Http Server?
How to configure that?

AFAIK, there is NO compilation of Apache on the win32 platform. If you use Vista please verify that it is certified to install SOA Suite there. Another common pitfall is not reading the installation guide and using computers with DHCP....

ILife'08 custom installation?

I currently use iLife'06 and am in the middle of installing iLife'08 -- I'm at the Installation Type step, having chosen "custom" installation in the previous step.
As I don't want to install iWeb 2.0 just yet, I've unchecked iWeb. To continue from this point I have to click on either: "Easy Install", "Go Back" or "Upgrade" -- and none are dimmed.
...It's not intuitively obvious to me what the difference is between "Easy Install" and "Upgrade" -- could someone who's familiar with both options tell me what each does and which I should choose to simply install only the iLife apps I've checked?

The Easy Install option means that the Installer chooses which components to install and ignores the customization options you've made. Click the Upgrade button, which will install only the components you selected.

"An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer."

All;
I—and I've seen several others in older posts—have been reported received the error "An unexpected error occurred while creating a custom installer" while attampting to build a customer ARD client installer. My guess is that this is do to a issue related to 10.8.X (10.8.4, in my case) based console Mac but I cannot confirm this. I have verified that there are no outstanding OS, client or application updates or hot fixes, as well.
Has anyone built an successful installer from Mountain Lion-installed Mac? Is there any know workarounds?
Thanks in advance, for any help.

Have the exact same problem.

Extra Stuff That Adobe Installs with Photoshop CS6

Just having gone through a test installation of Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 8 x64 virtual machine, I found it interesting that just after Photoshop CS6 went in Windows itself reported, through the Action Center, that a bunch of ''background'' programs were installed, and would I like to go into msconfig32 and disable them. In short, even Windows thinks the stuff Adobe installs is excessive and potentially troublesome!
As I prefer AutoRuns to msconfig32, I acutally did go and disable the software which I do not need running, to keep the system lean... It turns out that I actually AM able to disable just about every ''background'' program that Adobe installed, and Photoshop still works just fine.
Just to be clear, the only Adobe software packages I've installed on this VM are Adobe Reader and Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Here's a list of various modules I have disabled without apparent downside:
Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
Adobe ARM (Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager)
AdobeCS6ServiceManager (Adobe CS6 Service Manager)
SwitchBoard (SwitchBoard Server (32 bit)
Services started at bootup by entries in the registy key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services:
AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date)
SwitchBoard (Adobe SwitchBoard)
Task Scheduler Entries
\AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0-W8VMRP-NoelC (Adobe Updater Startup Utility)
In the context of a Photoshop-only installation, about the only downside I can see for disabling these things is that since the auto-updaters have been disabled, occasionally I'll need to check for updates manually (e.g., Help - Updates... in the menus, when I hear on the forums that an update has been released).
Many of these things run all the time, from bootup, whether we're using Adobe software or not. It's no wonder people report that their systems "slow down" over time.
Adobe: Please consider offering a ''Lean'' or ''Custom'' installation mode in which these things are optional, and provide clear descriptions of what functionality they provide.
Not everyone prefers to give up their system resources for a little extra convenience.
(and no, I'm not interested in posting this ''feature request'' over on Photoshop.com and hoping for votes)

Thanks.
I've just looked over my Windows 7 AutoRuns settings, and it's pretty much the same stuff I listed above but in slightly different places. On this system over time I have installed multiple versions of Photoshop (Ps 6.0, Ps CS4, Ps CS5, and Ps CS6) and disabled the unneded parts as I've gone along.
Adobe programs I've disabled on Windows 7:
Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0 (Adobe Updater Startup Utility)
Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVers ion\Run:
AdobeCS4ServiceManager (Adobe CS4 Service Manager)
AdobeCS5ServiceManager (Adobe CS5 Service Manager)
Shell extensions in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers:
Adobe Drive CS4 (Adobe Drive Menu)
Shell extensions in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers:
Adobe Drive CS4 (Adobe Drive Menu)
Task Scheduler Entries
\Adobe Flash Player Updater (Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.2r202)
Services/Drivers started at bootup by entries in the registy key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services:
AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date)
AdobeFlashPlayerUpdateSvc (This service keeps your Adobe Flash Player installation up to date with the latest enhancements and security fixes)
SwitchBoard (Adobe Switchboard)
adfs (Adobe Drive File System Driver)
Networking layers started in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order
AdobeDriveCS4_NP (Adobe Drive CS4 Network)
By the way, the AutoRuns tool I mentioned comes from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Keep in mind I don't have the full Creative Suite, just Photoshop, and I am willing to check for updates manually.
Please understand that fooling with parts of the system like this can be touchy, and you might not want to attempt these kinds of operations unless you're familiar with Windows system management. That said, Autoruns makes it pretty easy (just uncheck / check a box) to disable things and re-enable them.

Custom Installation Advice

Greetings-
This question is directed at you monitor gurus and masters of custom installations, creative multimedia installation guys, and anyone with a darn good idea!
Here is the setup: I have a Sharp Aquos 32" LCD TV that I am using as the monitor for my media center. For now I am feeding the HD input from my current video rig that is rack-mounted on the other side of the room. However, I recently purchased a wireless refurb'd Mini for use as a, well, computer. It drives the LCD display via DVI, and only needs a slight Horizontal positioning tweak via the monitor controls.
The monitor is wall-mounted, and initially I thought that I might be able to mount the Mini out of sight and on the wall behind the display. While it turns out that this is technically possible, it would not allow for any adjustment at all in the viewing angle of the display, and changing the horizontal mounting height on the wall is not an option (well, it actually is, but it took some work to do it initially and I am trying to "work smart" here.
However, after receiving my Mini and having had time to grow accustomed to the look of it, I have decided that I will mount the computer on a small glass or other shelf just under the display but on the wall and in full view. It is a work of art, after all, and looks spiffy to boot.
So now to my dilemma: anybody done this? I need a suggestion on an attractive wall mounted support, mini-sized and weight support capable. I am going to mount the power brick out of view so supporting that weight is not important. I do have the ability to hit one stud within the wall with whatever attachment hardware need be, but it is 16 inches on center to the next stud and that would be wider that the mini. Ideally I mount to one stud and do not have to use any mounts within the wallboard to either side of the stud.
So ideally, in my mind's eye, I need a sturdy, centrally supported attractive shelf on which to support my Mini.
What have you creative people got for me?
Thanks in advance-
peace

C2R was the name given to the new packaging method, introduced in the Office2010 timeframe.
C2R uses Application Virtualisation (App-V) and some other components, to "install" and virtualise the file system and registry components of Office. With Office2010 in this format, Office365 was released.
C2R / App-V, has a number of advantages, especially related to streaming and on-demand scenarios, but it requires periodic internet access, and a decent internet connection.
Later, Office2013 was released in a similar, but "improved" fashion - also known as Office365.
One of the significant differences with Office365, is the subscription-based licensing model, and the subscription management components (which require you to login to a Microsoft account to validate and re-validate) are embedded.
Retail editions of Office2013 (Home & Business, Home & Student, Professional) are also released in C2R format.
(Some Retail, non-subscription editions of Office2010 could be obtained in traditional MSI format.)
Currently, non-subscription editions of Office2013, in MSI format, are only available to Volume Licensing customers.
These are specific editions (e.g. Office2013 Standard, and Office 2013 ProfessionalPlus/ProPlus), and are not available in Retail editions.
So, non-C2R is available, to Volume License customers. Which is fine if you are one, and not so great if you aren't one.

What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?

What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?
Thanks for any help

Hi Donavan,
There are two options for zeroing with the NI-9237. You can perform offset nulling and shunt calibration with a strain task, or if you use custom excitation you can use software compensation.
See the Bridge Balancing, Offset Nulling section in the Load, Force, and Torque Measurements tutorial. Take a measurement before the strain is applied and subtract this from all subsequent measurements. See the above tutorial to consider the tradeoff in accuracy between these two options.
Hope this helps,

How to Use Custom Linker with Xcode 4.x?

I am using a customer compiler with Xcode and would like to know how to force Xcode to use my own linker line with custom arguments.
I created a new compiler spec file under:
/Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns/Xcode3Core.ideplugin/Contents/SharedSupp ort/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins
The default linker is defined in Ld.spec located in:
/Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns/Xcode3Core.ideplugin/Contents/SharedSupp ort/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/Contents/Resources
The following link seems to indicate that what I want to do is possible:
http://maxao.free.fr/xcode-plugin-interface/compilers-linkers.html
It seems like you have to create a custom Linker spec, give it an identifier, and then have the compiler spec reference your linker spec id by including it in the "RequiredLinker" key.
My compiler spec looks like:
{   Type = Compiler;
   Identifier = com.apple.compilers.armx;
   BasedOn = com.apple.compilers.gcc.4_2;
   Name = "ARMx";
   Version = "4.2";
   Description = "ARMx GCC Cross Compiler";
   ExecPath = "/Volumes/arm-x/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc";
   RequiredLinker = com.apple.pbx.linkers.armx;
The problem is that Xcode 4.1 still is insisting on using the default Apple linker. I want it to use my ARM based toolchain, which does not support some of the options that Xcode ends up passing on the linker line.

You would be better off using a makefile-based project with custom compilers and linkers.
