How to fresh install Xcelsius 2008 SP4 on Win7/Office2010

How do I do a fresh install of Xcelsius 2008 and get up to SP4 if I am unable to do an install of Xcelsius 2008 on Win7/Office2010 in the first place?

Hi Chris
You can install Xcelsius 2008 Service Pack 4 without having a previous version of Xcelsius 2008 installed because each Service Pack is a full install (or it can be used to upgrade from a previous Service Pack).
So download and install SP4 which supports Office 2010 (32-bit) and Windows 7.

Error while installing Xcelsius 2008

Hi,
We are getting error while installing Xcelsius 2008 version 5.3.....
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch"
Kindly suggest how to install the Xcelsius latest verion.
With Regards,

Hi Pearl,
Sorry if you've already done this, but have you installed Xcelsius 2008 SP3 first? It sounds like you are trying to install a fix pack without first installing Xcelsius 2008.
The downloads are all available from the [downloads service market place|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/] (as per the stickied thread)
If you choose Service Pack as the software type it will allow for download of the SP3 full install.
OR
Could it be this issue [Xcelsius FP3.5 error installing Excel2010; with solution from F. Kooij if you are referring to the latest fix pack 3.5 with Office 2010?

Black background for transparent PNG images - Xcelsius 2008 SP4

Hi Experts,
I am using Xcelsius 2008 SP4. I have used Image component to show a PNG image with transparent background. When I export the flash, the image is being shown with a black background.
In Xcelsius 2008 SP3, this problem was not there. I am facing this issue after installing SP4.
Did anyone else face similar issue ? Is there any workaround ?
regards,
pasg

Hi all,
I was facing the very same issue. I succeeded in finding a solution to it. This is happening coz of the dimension and pixels of the .png image. I imported the image in the image component, which had the dimensions, 175 x 70, and was of 9.26 kb and the black background was visible. I then changed the dimension of the image to 428 x 140, and 19.2 kb (double the size), and VOILA!! to my surprise IT WORKED !
Don’t forget to “check” the “embed file” and “Hide SWF Background Color” check boxes in the image component's, general tab.
Try the same, I hope this helps.

Sara

Error to install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista. Error 1935.

I have a big problem, I need install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista, but when I install the software apper the nex message:
Error 1935 Error al instalar el ensamblado.
"Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type ="Win32",version= "8.0.50727.762",pubicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"". Consulte Ayude y soporte tecnico para obtener mas informacion.

From a brief Google search, I determined this error message is from Vista. It is not being produced by Xcelsius. You will need to do your own search and determine what is causing Vista to report this error. You can also try installing using instructions for Xcelsius installation on Vista posted elsewhere in these forums.

SAP Authentication issue in Xcelsius 2008 SP4

Ingo Can you help me?
Xcelsius 2008 SP4 Failed to Open/Save from BusinessObjects Enterprise and throws an error Failed While Trying to Logon User "0000" RFC error: "LOGON_DATA_INCOMPLETE" when using SAP Authentication.
It works perfect with Enterprise.
Recently we have upgraded from Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP 3.5 to Xcelsius 2008 SP4. It also displays the password without encrypting.
BOE 3.1 Sp3
Integration Kit SP3Fix Pack 3.2
SAP GUI 720
Xcelsius 2008 SP4
It was working good with SAP Authentication when using Xcelsius 2008 SP3 FP3.5
Thanks
Dais

Hi,
As a starting point, i would strongly recommend you standardise all your component versions.
from what i can see, you've just asserted that Server, Integration Kit, and Client are all on different Fix levels..
that's not a nice baseline on which to investigate!
Also, patching would also include importing the correct SAP Transports into your BW. (they change almost every FP)

'Error applying transforms' when trying to install Xcelsius 2008 fp3.2

Hello
I've just tried to install Xcelsius 2008 fp3.2 (I am currently on Xcelsius 2008 sp3). I did read the installation notes, and I wonder if the problem I had is related to the fact that I am not logged in as administrator (I'm on XP).
The package extracted and as the installer ran I got the message:
'Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform oaths are valid'.
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
Can be...
To resolve this error, copy all files from the disc to a local computer location (for example, the desktop). Install Crystal Xcelsius from the setup.exe file at that location.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Marcio

Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with xcelsius and using the keyboard. I have now tried the Enterprise Edition Xcelsius 2008 SP4 on 3 x Windows 7 machines (and the Xcelsius SP3 with hot fix 3.3 on 2 windows 7 machines) and if I open a new project drag a pie chart onto the canvas (or anything) and try to replace the heading pie chart with "MyChart" as soon as I hit the M the software locks up and I get the following message.

The strange thing is that if I write MyChart in a cell in the excel sheet and copy and paste it over Pie Chart it works fine as soon as I hit a key (even the backspace) I lock up the program. We tried on a clean image Windows 7 machine that IT hadnu2019t given out yet and same thing happened then we loaded it on an old XP machine and it worked!
I Tried changing the compatibility to Run on XP SP3 but that didnu2019t help and turning on run as Administrator made no differance
. Any ideas?
This is the same for changing the timing for the xml maps thatu2019s where I first noticed the keyboard locking up the software, you can change the time with the 2 arrows via the mouse but if you highlight 5 and then hit the 6 key its the same error as above
Extra weird just opened it up and went to the help thought Iu2019d type in u201Ckeyboard locks upu201D and guess what as soon as I hit the K, same error
All our images have Office 2007, Dasault Draft site and a few other bits of software I was running 4.5 Xcelsius and that was OK
Any ideas would be most helpful.
Darren

Hello David
Thanks for replying this is really bugging me. Sorry I've been a while replying I've been overseas on a course last week and didn't have work email access.
Firstly the machines that I have tried it on are HP desktops about 1-2 years old with USB keyboards
I tried the on screen keyboard and it locked up as soon as I clicked on a character whilst trying to rename a pie chart, this was the same for a remote net support session, and a remote RDP login to my machine by our IT department.
Our IT guy said the keyboard drivers were current but I may just try and do an upgrade and reply a bit later on that as well.
Does not happen on any other software on this machine.
I'm checking for Flash upgrades but we currently have 11.1.102.55 and the newest is 11.1.102.62 so will load that and reply later also.
Do you think it possible to download a corrupted version of Xcelsius the stupid thing about that idea is that I downloaded SP4 but if I load SP3 hotfix 3.3 that also locks up and I have that on an official DVD from Rockwell Automation as Xcelsius comes with their Factory Talk Vantage Point software as a dashboard builder.
Thanks again Darren

Can't Install Xcelsius 2008 with Office/Excel 2010 Beta on XP

I am running the latest beta version of Office 2010 and when I try to install Xcelsius 2008 i get an error and it aborts the install. Error says:

Am I missing something on why this wouldnt work?
Thanks,

Toshiba Satelite A215 s4807 How-To Fresh Install Windows

I am trying to fix a Toshiba Laptop for a friend of mine.
How do I go about reinstalling windows from a fresh install. Reading the Manuel I can either hit 0 while the computer is booting, or Under Start Menu there is a Create Recovery CD option. Neither is working for me. How do I go about reinstalling windows if the two methods seem to not be available?

If one doesn't take the time to create the Recovery Disks they have no one to blame but themselves when this happens. On those rare occasions that the recovery system doesn't work right out of the box Toshiba has always sent out the disks free of charge. It's only when someone waits months to make them and finds out it doesn't work that they don't provide them for free. It isn't Toshiba that does this either. This is an industry wide policy with some being worse than others. A neighbor purchased a brand new Gateway recently. They tried to make the recovery disks the day they took it home and were unsuccessful. Gateway wanted to charge them $49.95 for them so they took the computer back and exchanged it for a Dell and had no problems creating the disks.
And the reason they don't make the disks available for download is partly due to Microsoft and the rest being bandwidth. If people knew they could just download the disks (most laptops have 3 or 4 dvd's worth of recovery disks) they would never take care of the ones they have and Toshiba would go broke paying for the excessive bandwidth of people downloading 12 to 16gigs worth of recovery images because they were too lazy to create them from the images that came on their hard drive.
Sorry, but you will NEVER win this arguement.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

How to fresh-install W8.1 on a VM (on Linux) without OEM disks and having product key programmed in UEFI?

I have an ASUS A55 that came with W8 preinstalled (OEM without disks), now upgraded to W8.1. My laptop was a present for me and came from Germany, so I do not have access to the original ASUS retailer (nor any other else, BTW, due to my present location).
Due to my job I am now obliged to have Linux as my base OS, but I am allowed to keep one W8.1 running within VirtualBox (for instance, for when my daughter comes to visit me).
How do I do a fresh install of W8 and keep my purchased license, given that I do not have the disks?
Also, is there a way to access the product key programmed in the UEFI?
Thanks

Hello,
I'd ask in the
Windows 8.1 forum on Microsoft Community.

Unable to Instal Xcelsius 2008 Engage on Windows 7 with Office 2010

Hi,
I having a problem installing Dashboard with the filename "14-20018-085.exe", I using a Windows7 64-bits and with Office Pro 2010 installed. Any suggestion?
best regards,
Le Kern

Excel 2010 is not supported with the current release of Xcelsius.
If you google Excel 2010 and Xcelsius you will see a few workarounds. The most common being to install Office 2007, then install Xcelsius, then go back to Office 2010. However you may then not be able to install future fix packs, and you will be using an unsupported setup.
Unfortunately your only robust option is to use Office 2007 if you want to use Xcelsius.
The new Xcelsius (with BI4.0) works with 2010, but as far as I know Office 2010 is still not 'officially' supported.

How to fresh install iOS on 1st gen iPad?

I'm being "gifted" a couple dead 1st gen iPads. Both have dead batteries and supposedly no OS. Included will be new batteries. I'm sure I can swap batteries (YouTube has a video for everything). I just d/l'ed iOS 5.0. I've never dealt with Apple before (I'm a Linux guy...shrug) so I don't know jack about this.
How can I install iOS 5.0 on my "new" iPads? I'm planning on using one for myself and giving one to a local, home schooling family that can't afford a "toy" like this (even if this "toy" would make a good learning base).
Do I just plug the iPad into the computer and hit a few keys on the iPad screen? Or is there more to it?
Thanks for all your help. I've installed Windows and Linux OSs via both USB (thumb) drive and CD to a computer and Android OSs via both BT and USB cable (to/from my computer). I'm not a complete computer noob but know enough to break things pretty well.
Thanks in advance!!
Sammy

Just this much of your post indicates you are starting down a path that is going to be loaded with problems. I suggest you throw this download away, and start down a brand new path.
Apple software goes through checks and balances to make sure the latest software for that version of hardware is what gets installed. Your best approach, if you somehow successfully installed new batteries, is to install the current iTunes version on your computer (11.1.5), and then plug your iPad into iTunes using the USB cable that was supplied with the iPad when it first was shipped by Apple. iTunes on your computer should detect the iPad, and hopefully proceed with the approprate setup.

How can I install Office 2008 on my new MacBook Pro Retina?

I have a license key and a cd to install from, but no slot in my MacBook to insert the CD into. I heard I can download Office 2008 from the Microsoft website, can anyone supply me with a link to the download? Not the30-day trial, the full version. Can anyone tell me if Office 2008 will work on the Retina display because I've read reviews about how it didn't in the past and should now (thanks to updates).

Office 2008 will work with Mountain Lion, but it isn't retina compatible and would probably be too much strain on the eyes to work with. Purchase Office 2011 or Pages. LibreOffice is free and may be retina compatible, but I personally have never used it.
If you are willing to install 2008 and give it a try then just download the trial and then you can upgrade the trial to the full version using the license key you have.

How to (freshly) install Lion on a headless Xserve

Dear all,
I'm writing here as I'd need some help on how to install Lion on a headless Xserve.
The Xserve has a static IP address, a DNS name and it is able to connect to the Internet. In order to install the OS on it I booted the machine from a self-made Lion DVD (connecting a keyboard and keeping the 'c' key pressed during the boot) and took remote control over it through another computer - on the same subnetwork - running ARD. So far, so good. The server can be pinged, ssh-ed, and the remote control via ARD works fine (blank username and the server serial number as password). I managed to erase the HD (which, of course, was previously backed up) and to launch the Lion installation. The installation seemed to go alright, until, at the end of it, ARD disconnected (I guess that happened because the installer forces a reboot at that stage). From that point onwards I'm not able to do anything else on the server. The machine can still be pinged, but no ports appear to be open. I can't therefore SSH the server and I can't access it through ARD or any alternative VNC client.
I've repeated the entire procedure twice, ending up with the very same results. My feeling is that the installation is waiting for some input by me (maybe it is stuck at the "select language/keyboard layout" stage?), but I don't know how to provide it. Of course I may be wrong and the problem being something completely different.
Please consider that the target machine doesn't have any graphics card installed at all, thus the option of connecting a monitor to it has to be excluded.
Would be absolutely lovely if someone could give me a hint!
PS: apologies for the cross-posting. I originally posted this message in the general Mac OS X 10.7 section, before realising it would have been more appropriate here.
Cheers,
Fabio

Thanks for your reply, Strontium. Unfortunately I'm quite confident about that Xserve not having any graphics facility. I manage 4 Xserve machine for my lab and, when we ordered them, I remember that we specifically asked for having graphics cards installed on only two of them. The other 2 servers (those, supposedly, headless) came with their DisplayPort closed by a plastic cap. To be fair I've never tried to plug anything on them but I would be EXTREMELY surprised (and feel amazingly stupid) in case something appears on a monitor (despite Wikipedia which seems to back your thought)!
