HHActiveX.dll is being overwritten by a different, earlier version...

Here's an interesting problem:
On some systems on which my .chm file for a local help system is installed, HHActiveX.dll (the 32-bit one supplied with RH9 for redistribution) is being overwritten using a different, earlier version. It is not yet clear when the overwrite occurs, but it is being looked into.
Has anyone seen this before? I don't see how it's possible that it's a problem with the .dll or the .chm, so I suspect something is awry in Windows (XP, SP3 in this case).
Thanks in advance!

Hi Burtin
I might imagine that could occur if someone installed another application that uses RoboHelp created CHM files and requires the dll.
Has that by chance been the case here?
Another possibility would be if for some reason a system restore point has been set and reverted back to.
Just some thoguhts from the edge... Rick

SmartView 11.1.2 install being overwritten by previous uninstalled version

I am not sure how to explain this but my SmartView 11.1.2 install is being overwritten by the previous uninstalled version (11.1.1.3).
On our Windows 2008 server 32bit with all SPs installed, we had 11.1.1.3 installed and we uninstalled it. We then removed the c:\hyperion directory. We rebooted and then installed smartview 11.1.2.0 which appears to go to the c:\oracle\product\smartiew directory.
When the first new user logs in and opens Excel, a small program starts to run and SmartView 11.1.2.0 gets configured and Excel shows an "Smart View" tab.
Everything is fine until a user who previously was using Smartview 11.1.1.3 launches Excel... When they launch Excel it starts an installer which recreates the c:\hyperion directory and installs 11.1.1.3 and then Excel opens with a "Hyperion" tab.
The new users that previously had never used 11.1.1.3 are are still in 11.1.2.0 until they close Excel. The next time they open it they no longer have the 11.1.2.0 SmartView Tab but instead have the 11.1.1.3 Hyperion Tab.
Has anyone ever seen this before and/or have any ideas on how to stop it?

Note: I redid my steps one more time. The 11.1.2.0 version installs by default to c:\oracle\smartview not c:\oracle\product\smartview.
Also, I searched the entire server for .msi & .exe files and may have found the culprit. After running the following & selecting uninstall it appears I may have 11.1.2.0 working for all users:
c:\Windows\Installer\ab630db.msi dated 7/30/2010 3:59pm author: Oracle Size: 7.223KB.
Edited by: Mike W on Sep 7, 2010 4:42 AM to denote status...
Edited by: Mike W on Sep 8, 2010 8:48 AM This may be resolved as finding the ab630db.msi may have cleared it up.

HHActiveX.dll - Windows Explorer open folders in separate window (Win7/ Vista)

Windows Explorer will open folders in a separate window when you double click them.
Adobe RoboHelp HTML 8 with update 1 and 2 installed sequentially on Windows XP.
HHActiveX.dll 8.0.0.203 registered by installer
Problem:
What we're seeing is, after installing HHActiveX.dll with our product suite on a 32-bit Windows 7 system (and probably Vista also), after rebooting the computer, Windows Explorer will open folders in a separate window when you double click them. This occurs even when Windows Explorer is set to open them in the same window.
Solution:
This seems to have something to do with the registration of actxprxy.dll and/or ieproxy.dll. Reregistering these DLLs and rebooting usually fixes this problem.
This web article mentions side effects in Internet Explorer and a couple of other programs that also come from this.
Here's a web page that outlines what we're seeing and how to fix it manually:
http://www.davidmoore.info/2009/08/19/solution-explorer-open-each-folder-in-same-window-er ror-and-sql-management-studio-ie-and-team-explorer-errors/
In Windows 7 (and probably Vista also), the GUID of this library has changed from {B8DA6310-E19B-11D0-933C-00A0C90DCAA9} to {C90250F3-4D7D-4991-9B69-A5C5BC1C2AE6}. Also, the registry entries that are concerned with actxprxy.dll are under HKCR\CLSID\{B8DA6310-E19B-11D0-933C-00A0C90DCAA9}; the last component in that registry path is the old GUID, and that's probably what is causing the problem.
Questions:
The previous approach provides a way to fix the problem by adding some code to reregister the two DLLs at the end of the install. The developer would prefer not to have to add install code to fix this problem in the first place.
1) Is this a known issue with Adobe HHActiveX.dll and Windows 7 / Vista? (I didn't find much with a web search or in Adobe Forums.)
2) Is a newer HHActiveX.dll available to fix this issue?
3) Does Adobe have a fix for the Windows Explorer problem that this DLL is causing in Windows 7 (and probably Vista also).
4) Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Here is what the developer did to fix the issue.
MSI Install: The installer is unregistering actxprxy.dll and ieproxy.dll on Windows 7 32-bit PCs
Problem: The problem was being caused by Adobe's HHActiveX.dll, a DLL that we have to install because of the browse sequences/ glossary in the new application help. This DLL was registering itself against actxprxy.dll using the GUID that was in use prior to Vista; and that in turn caused the Windows Explorer problem, among others.
Fix: Added a custom action that is called after the application is installed (or reinstalled or upgraded) that reregisters the 32-bit actxprxy.dll and ieproxy.dll. (Since the problem doesn't manifest itself on 64-bit systems, the custom action leaves the 64-bit actxprxy.dll and ieproxy.dll as they are.) Rolled back the registry deletions that were done in the Shared - help third party merge module in the previous attempt to fix this bug, as those changes were found to be unnecessary.
Cheers

Redistributable rights for HHActiveX.dll

Greetings.
We've added a glossary to our online help project in RH7 and
have discovered that we need to include HHActiveX.dll so customers
can access the glossary tab in the compiled HTML Help CHM file.
I've been asked to provide information showing that it's okay to
redistribute the DLL file. I"ve found plenty of places that call
the file a redistributable, but I have not found any statements in
the license agreement.
The Redistr.txt file in the Redist folder mentions a
"Redistributables" section in the license agreement but searching
the license.htm file doesn't return any matches.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Kim Nylander

The best I can come up with is the RoboHelp help file. Look
for the HHACTIVEX.DLL index keyword which highlights the
"Distributing Microsoft HTML Help" topic. In there is a dropdown
link for "support files" which explicitedly mentions having to
distribute the file.
Personally I do not think it a worthwhile use of your time
persuing this. If distributing this file was against the RH licence
agreement there would be thousands of firms being taken through the
court by Adobe. It is just not an issue. It is tacit agreement that
if you accept the licence terms that you can freely distribute the
file.
This may not be what your company lawyers (or whoever is
persuing this) want. If it isn't, maybe they should contact Adobe
directly to get a definitive approval and stop wasting your time. I
suggest you put things a little more delicately than that though

Uninstalling HHActiveX.dll from the Registry?

I am using RoboHelp 7.03.001. I have ActiveX features, such as a Glossary, in my projects. I am providing the CHM file and the HHActiveX.dll file to the developer. Everything help-wise works great. The problem is that the developer wants the HHActiveX.dll file to be removed from the registry when the user uninstalls our product, but it does not uninstall.
Is the version of HHActiveX.dll that we are using (7.01.001) the current version? (Would that matter?)
If there is a more current version, where can I download it. (I recently updated RH to v7.03, but the DLL is still 7.01, if that matters.)
Is there a process that I can pass on to our developer so that he can remove the file from the registry as part of his uninstall process?
Thanks!
Karla Marsh

Hi there
Leaving HHActiveX.dll behind shouldn't be an issue. Sure, I understand that your developer wants to do a good job in cleaning up after him/her self, but how can you be absolutely certain you aren't clobbering the help for a different product that uses RoboHelp?
There is nothing special about this file that your developer should need to know to remove it. It is registered like you register other DLLs. So whatever has to happen with those happens with this one.

UISegmentControl TintColor is being overwritten under iOS 7.1

Hi, I am using a custom global tint color, which i set by calling [self.window setTintColor:[UIColor M42GlobalTintColor]]; in my App Delegate
In my Controller I've created a UISegmentedControl in the code by calling [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:segmentItems];
and [_segControl setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]]; This works fine for the first time. Later, however, it is being overwritten with the global tint color.
Does anybody have a hint for me?
Thanks

For posterity, my issue turned out to be specific to the following conditions (all of them):
I have a custom tintColor applied to my application's window.
I have a different custom tintColor applied to a view controller's view.
I wrap that view controller in a UINavigationController.
I set the navigation controller's modalPresentationStyle to form sheet or page sheet.
I present the navigation controller using presentViewController:animated:completion:.
I run this code on iOS 7.1 (does not reproduce in 7.0).
When all of those conditions are met the tintColor I apply in my view controller is ignored in favor of the window's tintColor. My workaround is to set the tintColor in my view controller's viewWillLayoutSubviews method. It did not work when I tried setting it in viewWillAppear:animated: (too early) or viewDidAppear:animated: (too late, the wrong color had already been shown).
I filed a radar for this issue (17023071, if that helps).

HHActiveX.DLL on Vista

Does HHActiveX.DLL work on Vista for browse sequences in the
CHM file ?

You'd have to include it with the CHM file being installed. Your developers can include it as one of the file to install (e.g. the CHM and the HHACTIVEX.DLL files) in their installation file.

How to prevent an encrypted backup from being restored to a different device?

If I force an employee to do an encrypted backup (which I can do with a configuration profile), and that employee is fired. We take back the company iphone, but they go and buy a personal one. They connect the new, personal iphone to itunes and do a restore of the encrypted backup (they know the password) and now they have all the work related stuff on their personal phones. Is there a way to prevent an encrypted back from being restored to a different device id.

We require encryption of our employee backups as well...and the problem you mention is a real one.....
If you use Exchange, you could disable Exchange Active Sync to prevent them from subsequently connecting to Exchange Server and getting new data with the new personal device....but you would still have the old data as part of the backup...the other issue is that we've found that the profile is part of the backup and if an employee leaves, even on good terms, if he wants to restore say, his music from the backup without the profile, it becomes quite awkward...the profile would have to be removed, ( which removes everything added with the profile, possible email and wi-fi), then the user could backup music etc with iTunes, then return the corporate phone to be salvaged or re-deployed...and later put his personal data back on another device without the profile...if there is a way around the issue you bring up I'd like to know of it as well. . Perhaps there is an MDM with functionality that would help here....that is one great strength of the Blackberry platform..all corporate data can be controlled from the BES server.

Is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten when importing data via xdp-file?

In an pdf-form designed with LCD everytime the form gets merged with an xdp-datafile content of all fields get overwritten, regardless which data-binding (normal, global, none) is assigned to the fields and regardless if the fields are exluded in the xdp-datafile. Is this normal behavior and is there any way to prevent fields from being overwritten?

The xdp-file is first exported from Acrobat Professional 8 (export data as *.xdp) to get the complete structure. Then in the xdp-file some fields are removed manually and other fields are filled with data. When the modified xdp-file is opened again with Acrobat Professional 8 it grabs the original pdf-form and merges the manually filled fields into the form. With the merge all other fields in the form are overwritten, even if they are not defined in the xdp-file. And that is what I want to avoid. I want to merge the xdp-file into the form and keep the data in fields not defined in the xdp-file.

Why are active menus and dialog boxes disappearing/being overwritten by the active tab/page content?

Frequently when selecting a download directory/filename in the "save to" dialog the entire dialog is overwritten with the active page content. It appears the dialog has closed, but if you tab through the dialog the active field/control is written but the rest of the dialog remains hidden/overwritten. This has also happened with the "open file" dialog. The the drop down menus on the menu bar are occasionally being overwritten after being activated/pulled down. I have not been able to determine a common/specific event causing this problem.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Session Cookies Being Overwritten Browsing From SSL to Non SSL

I have created a bug report for this issue as well.
Please note I am using J2EE session variables so keep that in mind.
I am seeing session cookies being overwritten when browsing from an SSL connection to a non SSL connection.
For example:
Visiting https://www.domain.com/ results in a JSESSIONID cookie being set with details being send for "Encrypted connections only".
Visiting http://www.domain.com/ results in a JSESSIONID cookie being set with details being send for "Any type of connection".
Here's the problem:
Say for example, you're logging into an admin module located at https://www.domain.com/admin/. Once authenticated and some session variables are set, you browse to http://www.domain.com/. When that happens your session cookie (JSESSIONID) is overwritten with a new value and you instantly lose your authentication in the admin module.
Obviously this is causing massive problems for my clients that bounce back and forth from SSL to non SSL connections which is common for e-commerce websites.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clear your cookies.
2. Visit a web page such as https://www.domain.com/. Note the JSESSIONID cookie value.
3. Visit a web page such as http://www.domain.com/. Note the JSESSIONID cookie value and how it was overwritten.
This behavior changed in ColdFusion 10. ColdFusion 9 did not overwrite the session cookie.
Has anyone else experience this?

Deleting and re-adding my account seems to have fixed it. I think when I initially added my Google Talk account, it was by using the "Add Jabber Account" under 10.6 or something. Now, when I re-added my account, I notice both "Google Talk" and "Jabber" are options, so my thought here is that Jabber and Google Talk options are no longer quite the same thing.

Files being overwritten

I just upgraded to Dreamweaver CS3 from MX 2004. I have the
following enabled for my site definition: Maintain synchronization
information; Enable file check in and check out; and Check out
files when opening. The problem is, every time I open a file
locally, it automatically and instantaneously gets overwritten by
the remote file. This did not happen with MX 2004, and this has
caused many problems for me. Is this supposed to be happening, or
do I have a problem here? I've tried disabling Maintain
synchronization information, but this doesn't change anything. Any
and all help is greatly appreciated.

If you are using checkin/checkout, the remote site is the
gold standard for
all checked-in files. Thus, overwriting your local copy is of
no
consequence, since you cannot have made changes to the file
after it has
been checked in. It would be unnecessary for DW to ask if you
want to
overwrite it, because DW assumes that you know it will be
overwritten by
virtue of the fact that you have just initiated a checkout
operation. Get
it?

Your understanding as expressed in the first two sentences is
absolutely
correct.
If your co-worker checks out a file, you cannot check it out
until it's
properly checked in by your co-worker. Once the file is
checked in, you can
then check it out.
