How do I create an installation package

Apologies, but I am a newbie^2 when it comes to Apple installations. I have a product I use to bundle my software on windoz (it creates a .exe file). I now have a Mac version of my software so I want to make it easy for Joe User to install it on a Macbook.  I don't want to go through a massive SDK experience. I just want brain dead software that will gather up a shallow hierarchy of files, one of which is an OS executable. It needs to make the executable available to the user as well as create an application folder in a well known place where it can dump data when the user requests this
Is there very simple bundling software someone can point me to? If the SDK is the way to go, a few pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I don't see how you're going to pivot that using SSIS.  I happen to know VBA pretty well, and I'll give you this Macro, which should do what you want.
Sub CombineRows()
lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'set rowcount to row where you want 1st entry
RowCount = 1
NewRow = RowCount
Start = False
Do While RowCount <= lastRow
If Start = False Then
If Range("A" & RowCount) <> "" Then
Start = True
StartRow = RowCount
End If
Else
If Range("A" & (RowCount + 1)) = "" Then
ColCount = 1
For MoveRow = StartRow To RowCount
Cells(NewRow, ColCount) = Cells(MoveRow, "A")
ColCount = ColCount + 1
Next MoveRow
NewRow = NewRow + 1
Start = False
End If
End If
RowCount = RowCount + 1
Loop
Rows(NewRow & ":" & lastRow).Delete
End Sub
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

  • How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

    Hi
    As my topic says
    How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
    Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

    I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly.  In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location. 
    But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line.  No one is looking at the page.  A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice.  It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
    So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word. 
    I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want.  I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have. 
    I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
    You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way. 
    Give it a try and best of luck.

  • Where or how do I find the installation package containing "iTunes.msi"?

    I have iTunes 10.5.3.3 installed on my computer with a Windows XP operating system.  I have tried to download the new itunes 10.6 but continually get a pop up which states "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is currently unavailable.  Enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi".  I have tried  and failed to find this package. 
    I have also tried the support page suggestion by uninstalling the old itunes and then install the new one.  This did not work.  Another pop up also tells me that I cannot remove the old (10.5.3.3) itunes...because..." the feature I am trying to use is on a network resource that is currently unavailable". I am caught in a loop.  It appears that I need to locate the "iTunes.msi" installation package in order to be able to uninstall the old and replace with the new iTunes upgrade.
    Where or how do I find the installation package containing "iTunes.msi"?  Secondly, when I find it is there anything special I need to do or be aware of?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How to create an installable package

    Hi all
    we have developed some ABAP objects on R/3 4.6c.Is there a way by which i can convert my developments in to a installable package(copy it on a CD) much similar to the support packages supplied by SAP to its customers.Since the target system will be any R/3 system, how is it possible to convert it in to a patch like package.
    please enlight me how i should proceed..
    Thanks,
    Bala

    Put them into a transport, release the transport - but don't import it anywhere.
    The cofiles that the transport creates will be on your SAP box in the SAPTRANS directory.  Copy these to your CD and you can install them as a transport from another system by importing through STMS.
    Hope this helps.
    (Alternatively you can use a download utility - like the ones from Dalestech - to download all of your objects and load them into the target system).

  • How can I create an installer?

    Hi!
    I am working with LabVIEW Version 8.6.1.
    After I have built an Application (exe) I would like to create an installer. Therfore I open the window "my installer properties" in my Project.
    After I got the "product information" I go ahead to "source files". First question: Which files must be include in the "destination view" on the right site of the window???
    The "builds" file???
    If I do this and go ahead with "additional installers" I select "NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.6.1". After that I click the bottom "build".
    The build status open. Than I get a default:
    build errors:
    the build was unsuccessful
    The following file(s) are not found on the system:
     I think it has to do with the source files which I have to include. But I do not now which one!!!
    Can somebody help me???
    Marc

    You will indeed need to create an executable from your project first and then add this to your installer build.
    Here are a few links on how to create an installer, could be very useful for your issue:

  • How can I create an installer for my project that can work on 32-bit Windows if I have 64-bit Windows Vista?

    Hi, 
    I made a LabVIEW project that works perfectly and made an installer for it. I tested the installer on my own computer and everything worked well. The goal for my installer was to put it on multiple computers. So I tried to do this on another computer that has Vista 32-bit and it told me that the installer can only run on 64-bit computers. I tried to choose to install run-time 32bit and it did not change anything, there was still a message to tell me that this installer only can be ran on 64-bit computers. How can I make an installer that works on 32-bit computers? 
    Thank you. 
    Solved!

    The code will have to recompile, but yes it should work.  I recommend making a backup before proceeding just in case.

  • How do I create an installer for older versions of LV?

    I have applications, for different customers, in different versions of LabVIEW. After installing the latest update to 8.2 it seems it is no longer possible to create an installer with an identical suite of additional installers. I think it should be possible to rebuild an installer with additional installers of your choice, i.e. older versions!
    I would like to change only the LV-app and not the rest in order to avoid potential new problems. To be able to create an installer based on a LV-app in 8.0.1. I now need several CD:s from different LV releases. How could that be solved?

    Hi Elinas,
    I don't totally get what you want but I think I see your problem.
    You want to create an installer with LV7.1 (or something), right?
    Then when you build it and say add NI-DAQ drivers the installer asks for the LV 8.2 driver disk?
    This is expected, because it is not looking at the LabVIEW version but at the NI-DAQ current version and it's origin (LV 8.2 driver disk).
    There is no harm here  as long as the up-to-date driver on your computer is backwards compatible (check this, the mentioned NI-DAQ and DAQmx removes older cards at every release!)
    So it is not asking for the LV-disk but for the driver disk. If you want to install older drivers, you have to seperately download them from the NI-site and install them seperate (or remove the new one and install the old one, but I think you'll get errors)

  • How would I create kernel devel package for OVM3.2.1 ?

    I am new to OVM SDK ..Please help me to understand how to create kernel devel package for OVM3.2.1 ?
    I tried below command "rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-uek...src.rpm" on my OEL5.9 machine. It throw few errors w.r.t KaBI checks fails.
    Is there hard rule to run above command only on OVM 3.2.1 SDK template ? I am going to try that now, but it will be good to know limitation/assumption on OVM 3.2.1.
    Is there any simplest method to get kernel devels/headers for OVM3.2.1 ?

    Thanks JB. It works like a charm. I earlier doubt the same, but real pain was to get gcc,rpm utils without ULN access. I used oel5_latest repo to get gcc and other supported utils. Everything works as expected.

  • How do I create system installation (bootable) DVD?

    I got a broken Macbook A1342 - cracked screen/liquid damage - fixed it to a working condition.
    I have now a system booting nice to Snow Leaopard 10.6.8 with some previous user logged in...
    Do not have a password for it, so even updating the current time is impossible now.
    I want to swap a HDD to a bigger one and install a fresh copy of Mac OS X on it (possibly newer version?).
    How do I create a set of installation/bootable DVDs so I can put new/empty HDD and install system on it?
    Can a Macbook "clone" itself to a set of installation DVDs? What app should I use for this?
    The other option would be to nuke the laptop to a factory default state, erasing everything which on there now.
    I admint, I am a newbie. This is a first contact with a Macbook computer for me... Thanks for understanding :-)

    How did you delete the file? It lives inside a directory owned by the OS. It isn't possible to delete it in normal circumstances without the admin password.
    I deleted it by booting my laptop to a single user mode and issuing "rm" command line instruction.
    No administrator password was required to delete this file! In fact, no password at all was required.
    After deleting and rebooting, Max OS X asked me to create a new administrator account, which allowed me to access to EVERY file on this drive.
    Sorry this has been common knowledge for a long time (ever since OS X existed about 15 years ago), it may seem shocking to you but the reality is the same on Windows & Linux. All consumer machines have tiny little cracks that can allow an experienced user a way in.
    Single user mode means you are root. When someone has root on your machine - all bets are off - they own the system. No if's, ands or buts - they have won full stop.
    I keep saying this in an attempt to make it 100% clear - when someone has physical access to a computer is is practically impossible to mitigate attacks like this…
    The OS is stored UNENCRYPTED by default so any way to access the disk leaves it wide open to reading and modification. In addition, removing the disk from the machine can allow you access to EVERY file - defeating all permissions that the OS uses as a basic protection (when the OS is running).
    The firmware is open to all startup keyboard combinations that can boot the machine from other OS's or make it mount on other machines (Target disk mode).
    Hardware has features that allow direct RAM access (Google for 'firewire direct memory access attacks' - these also exist in Thunderbolt too). Passwords be stored in memory so the RAM modules could be pulled from a running machine (PC or Mac). Encrypted memory can mitigate this little hole to an extent.
    The case has screws & can be opened so RAM can be ripped out & transferred to another machine for reading (Google for 'cold boot attack').
    This list is likely to go on and on if you keep thinking about it.
    To stop attacks like this…
    Add an EFI password - it stops all keyboard combinations & booting into single user mode.
    Add full disk encryption - it stops the ability to read the disk even if removed.
    The final items to overcome are the direct memory access attacks (glue up your Firewire & Thunderbolt ports). You can also set the machine to shut down & disable sleep/ hibernation.
    If you are interested subject in this I'd recommend reading how the NSA goes about making a Mac 'secure' for it's agents… (basically crippling every feature that makes it convenient).
    http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/factsheets/macosx_10_6_hardeningtips.pdf They stopped releasing this info after 10.6, but a lot of it is still relevant, also see the iOS version if you use that.
    http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/applemac/Apple_iOS_5_Guide.pdf
    TLDR: Secure your Mac before you allow any chance of physical access.

  • How do I create an installer for my project that allows for variable data entry like a server unc path?

    Hello All,
    I have a questions and a few hours of scouring the internet hasn't brought me much closer to an answer.
    Here's what I want to do. I have created a visual c# wpf application. I want to have an installer that during install time will have a text box or something where I can enter a server path as a string. Basically my application needs to know where to look
    for a server unc path \\server\somesharedfolder that it will be accessing primarily for its work. Secondly, how do I reference said information from within my code.
    I have come across application/user scoped settings, which appears to be what I'm looking for. However I can't find a way to have the installer prompt for a value "Server Path:" __________ that I could type into during installation. So far it appears
    the only way would be to edit the config.deploy file before running the installer, which isn't a big deal but you'd think there'd be an easy way to take in variables during install.
    EDIT: Apparently I can't edit the config.deploy file as I get an error message about the hash not matching.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello,
    The forums I found confusing, didn't know the best place to put this question so I put it here.
    I have found the answer over at stackoverflow and will detail here for anyone who may stumble across the same problem.
    The problem is ClickOnce seemingly doesn't support this feature. Installshield LE either doesn't or does but its incredibly too complicated if all you need is one variable passed to the registry during installation. And it seems the words used for googling
    this particular problem will never lead you to the solution.
    So here's how to do it (we will be first adding the Visual Studio Installer Add-on to restore original installer project functionality):
    1) Inside of visual studio 2013 go to Tools -> Extensions and Updates
    2) On the left-hand side click on Online -> Visual Studio Gallery
    3) In the upper-right search box search for "Visual Studio Installer"
    4) Download the extension labeled "Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects"
    5) Install, then open a new project under Templates -> Other Project Templates -> Visual Studio Installer -> Setup Project
    6) Now for the gold. In the solution explorer there are icons in a bar just below its title bar, highlight till you see "User Interface Setup" and open it.
    7) Now you can right click on Start, Progress, End etc any Category heading and hit Add Dialog.
    8) From here for my purposes, I used TextBoxes A
    9) Once you add it, click on it and observe its properties window. You will see Label, Property, and Value. Make a note of the property name as it will be used to store the data directly into the registry. *Note: there appears to be no way to perform data
    validation using the built in textbox dialogs, users can enter whatever they want and move on.
    10) Go to the registry editor on the same icon bar under solution explorer.
    11) Specify your registry folder, make a new value (I used string) and name it whatever you like. In the value section enter the property label formatted as such   [EDITA1]   depending on your value. 
    12) Now when you run the installer for your project, it will take data into that field and place it into the registry provided it has access to that key with the permissions you run the program under.
