How to get the Most RECENTLY installed JRE path and version ?

Hello Experts,
I am working on Installshield, and for some purpose, I need to get the MOST RECENTLY installed JRE version and Path. Now I have two choices :
1. Go into the directory " C:\Program Files\Java\" and get the most recently changed directory, ( that will be the installation directory of the most recently installed JRE ). And then search in the registry under : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Runtime Environment/ and look for the version which is having
the value of the key INSTALLDIR as the above found Installation Directory.
But in this approach, I'll never find the Installation dir or version, if the JRE is installed somewhere else than the default location.
2. Now this is the reverse. I first search in the registry, and get the Installation Directories of all the versions installed in the system, and then look at the file attributes ( may be by using some batch file ) and see which one is most recently installed.
My question is, is there any other way, by which I can get the most recently installed JRE's installation Path and version? Or can we trace it during the installation itself ? I mean when we install the JRE, it creates some log files in %TEMP% directory. Is it possible to trace the version and installation directory of the most recently installed JRE from the log file ?
Thanks
Gagan

Rendering times are pretty much based on processor speed if I have that right. Not much you can do about that other than buy a new computer. Your day to day work in the finder and accessing of files would be faster with your boot drive internal. One thing you can do is ensure your FCP System Settings are on the fastest disk you have. If you put a pair of drives internal and made a RAID volume for them you would improve your write speed when capturing and for any other read/write operations. You would have to be sure you kept that backed up properly because you double the odds of a failure when two drives spread the data between them. There are many RAID options.
You could also bump up the RAM but you'd have to look at your processes to see if you are being limited by RAM. I'm guessing not but it's not impossible. If you are accessing scratch disks due to RAM limitations that would be one thing you could do.
I would never bother connecting an external via USB if there was an esata or firewire option. I use an esata card internally to give me access to estata storage. I also keep an external FW800 drive for a mirror backup of my boot drive. All my data and booting is internal with all my backups external. Each internal has an external and I have additional externals that I keep off site to protect against fire and theft.

    You mention it is a DV/HDV Film - how did you edit it? Did you edit both formats on the same timeline in Final Cut? (What were the settings in Final Cut for the timeline?)
    If you are using HDV in a timeline due to the length of time to conform the output, you may be better off exporting the entire thing for testing (small enough for HDV, though I often use AIC or 422 nowadays).
    What settings are you using in Compressor? I know you mentioned many combinations, but did you use any frame controls? What was the rate? Did you use CBR/VBR?
    One thing to try to get things started. Use 8 CBR and in the frame controls set them to to "Better" for all of them. Will take a bit longer using the filters but should give you an idea where you are at. (Also take a look at the self contained movie to see if there are any artifacts/picels there).

    Hello, Anita.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are wanting to restore your new iPhone 6 from an iPhone 5 backup.  This sounds like the iOS version of your old iPhone 5 may be newer than what was installed on your iPhone 6.  Try going through the steps in the article below.  
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    I would also check to see the backup dates in iTunes and if the  backup is located on iCloud instead of iTunes.  
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
    Cheers, 
    Jason H.

    HI,
    A Note.
    Technically the most recent Conversation (or Chat) that has a new message (be it iMessage or IM) will move to the top in the list on the left if it is set in the View  Menu to do so.
    Obviously this does need more than one Conversation or Chat to be listed to work.
    It does not change the focus of the Chat/Conversation you are viewing.
    iChat - the forerunner naver had an option to invert the chats.
    The iChat Feedback page is where I use.
    You will also see it does not list iChat 6 depsite listing Lion.
    In this sense it has always beeen out of step on the iChat/Messages version front  (it took me a long time via the Lounge and Host help to get it on the list of pages to be updated on New OS versions)

    You restore from the backup that contained them.
    Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.

  • How to get the most of PowerBook G3 233Mhz

    its been a while since I dint post on Apple discussions, about one year ago, I was thinking I would get a PowerBook G3 Pismo, one year later evry thing was diffrent, I ordered a 233Mhz PowerBook G3 Wallstreet (It was the only choice with the money I had) and now I really want to know how to get the most out of it.
    I want to do the following
    -Browse the web
    -Listen to music
    -do keynote presentations
    -word proccesing
    -storage
    The powerBook that I am going to get comes with a nice 233Mhz G3 chip, 64MB of RAM a 12 inch screen and running Mac OS 9.2.2 (my favorite).
    I have alot of knowledge on old Macintosh, and I know almost anything if some asks me things about acient macintosh, but you know, some times you need a little help from other mac fans and share your thoughts...
    So what apps should I get? I do know that if you use the commom low requirements apps, It will run smoothly.

    iBook,
    Yes, you can add a USB 1.1 or 2.0 PC card to the PCMCIA/CardBus slot. A few suggestions:
    -Combo FireWire/USB CardBus PC cards do not work well with OS 9.x; either the USB or FireWire port does not work. This is a software problem in 9.x since these combos work fine under 10.x. My suggestion would be to buy a separate USB PC card and/or FireWire PC card for your connectivity.
    -USB 2.0 PC cards will only run at the slower USB 1.1 speeds under 9.x but this is fine for printers, etc. If you wanted to connect an HD, I would use the FireWire interface.
    -FireWire and USB PC cards supply insufficient bus power to power a FireWire or USB HD; any device like a printer or HD will have or should have its own power supply.
    -Since FireWire and USB are not native to the Wallstreet, the necessary USB and FireWire extensions have not been installed. Open your Extensions Mananger and see if you have these extensions:
    USB Mass Storage Extension
    USB Support
    USB Mass Storage Support
    USB Software Locator
    USB Device Extension
    If the above are not present, I recommend you download this USB extension package from OWC; they assembled various version numbers of the Apple USB extensions to correct a problem OS 9.2.2 has with USB PC cards but they can be used with any version of OS 8.6 > 9.2.2.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/tech/ftp/usb/usbextensions.sit
    A file titled 'usbextensions.sit' will appear on your desktop assuming you have set the browser to download files to your desktop. Double-click the file to decompress it and you will have a folder on the desktop with these extensions:
    USB Support v1.4.1
    USB Software Locator v1.5.6
    USB Device Extension v1.5.6
    USB Mass Storage Support v2.0.4
    USB Mass Storage Extension v2.0.4
    Highlight all five extensions, then drag them on top of the closed System Folder icon; they will be automatically installed in the Extensions folder. Before restarting, go to Apple menu > Control Panels > Energy Saver > Advanced Settings and uncheck 'Allow Processor Cycling' for •BOTH• the power adapter and battery. If not unchecked (disabled), the powerbook will freeze with a USB PC card.
    Now restart to make the USB extensions active. Insert the USB PC card; you should see a USB PC card icon on the desktop. Connect a USB mouse (there is sufficient power for it) and test the USB PC card.
    If no desktop USB PC card icon appears, make sure the PC card is fully inserted. You may have to place a hand on the side of the powerbook opposite the PC card slot so you can push hard. If the card fails to seat, the card slot may be in the locked position. Push an opened paperclip into the small hole next to the slot to unlock, then try the card again.

    I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

    I am about to buy my first Macbook Pro, should I wait for the possibility for a 2015 macbook, or just get the most recent model currently? (9-22-14)

    No one knows if there will be a new model and if so, when that would be. However, there always will be something bigger, better, and newer around the corner, so you'd be waiting forever.
    Buy it when you want or need it.
    FWIW, here are the specs of the latest models (which happen to be mid 2014):

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck

    Marian,
    Let's be clear on one thing here. The manual setting is an iPod setting, not an iTunes one. So, once you've set it to manual (and you appear to have done that correctly), then you can connect it to any number of computers without changing that setting.
    "The grey thing occurs on one pc only"
    This is the thing that I don't understand, if your iPod is set to manual, then it shouldn't happen on any computer. If you connect the iPod that is set to manual to this pc, and then click on it in the source listing, then you would be looking at the songs on the iPod, and they should not be greyed out. When you connect to the "other pc" under these same circumstances, they are not greyed out?
