How to use Windows SIM to create answer files for 32-bit (x86) Windows 7 from a 64-bit (x86_64) Windows 7 PC?

So I'm having the old 32-bit/64-bit compatibility issues with Windows SIM. I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC (actually a virtual machine) that I intend to use to run Windows SIM and make answer files for 32-bit Windows 7 unattended installations.
I've installed the latest Windows ADK (the Win 8.1 one). When doing this there was no choice of download or prompt during installation regarding 32-bit or 64-bit architectures. Once installed the Windows Kits folder is under Program Files (x86), but imgmgr.exe
is a 64-bit executable. When I try and generate the catalog for a 32 bit install.wim, I get an error that 64-bit SIM cannot catalog 32-bit images.
Is there any way to install a version of Windows SIM on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC that can catalog 32-bit Windows 7 images?

Hi,
I think the biggest problem is the architecture specific in answer file:
<settings pass="specialize">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<OEMInformation>
<Manufacturer>[ REPLACE WITH COMPANY NAME ]</Manufacturer>
<SupportURL>[ REPLACE WITH SUPPORT WEBSITE ]</SupportURL>
</OEMInformation>
        </component>
    </settings>
The answer file must include processor-specific components. The answer-file settings in the windowsPE configuration pass must match the architecture type of the preinstallation environment. The settings that apply to the Windows image must match the architecture
type of the image. For example, if you create an answer file that deploys 64-bit images from a 32-bit preinstallation environment, all components in the answer file for the windowsPE configuration pass must include the processor attribute type of x86. Settings
to be applied in the specialize, oobeSystem, or other configuration passes must include the processor attribute type of amd64.

User,
If you are using ADF Business Components, you can right-click each application module, select "configurations" and edit the configuration you are using. On the initial page of the configuration dialog, you can specify to use either a JDBC URL or a Datasource - you just need to choose Datasource and then provide the name by which to access it.

How to use the DLLs which created from c++ in Java?

And How to use the DLLs which created from JNI in C++?

Huh?
Are you asking how to do JNI - you should read the tutorial.
Are you asking how to load it - then use System.loadLibrary()
Are you asking what to do with the output from javah - put it in a C file and write some code, compile it into a dll.

How to open orapwd tool to create password file?

Hi Guys,
I got information as
orapwd
orapwd file=password_file_name password=the_secret_password
orapwd file=password_file_name password=the_secret_password entries=n
There is a default location and name for password files. When a password file is created, it should be created in that location.
n specifies the maximum number of distinct DBAs and OPERs that can be stored in the password file.
orapwd is a command line tool to create password files.

How to use the selection profile and status profile for production order?

Hi expert,
I want to know how to use the selection profile and status profile for production order. what's the usage for these two selection profile and status profile ?
Please help me.
thanks in advance.
george.shi

Hi George,
There are are two types of statuses.One is system status and second one is user status.These statuses will tell us current situation of an order.
We can't change system statuses.But we can create our own statuses through status profile.With this profile we can control user statuses.
In this status profile,
1.We define the sequence in which user statuses can be activated,
2.We define initial statuses
3. Allow or prohibit certain business transactions.
Selection profiles are used to select the objects (say production orders) with different status combinations.We assign status profiles to selection profiles in BS42 T-Code.
Regards,
Raja.

How to create index file for pdf.

Hello,
I need to create a plugin which will read a list of pdf files and then create a full text index with catalog. I searched on net and came to know about the catalog plugin which does this work.In AV layer there is a catalog object but I am unable to find any example on net which uses the catalog object to create the pdx file and a support folder(contains idx files).
I also read the java script documentation but there was no example for creating index.We can build index but for that we need to retrieve the index object first.
Can somebody please giude me.
Thanks!

Hi Irosenth,
Is it possible to use DOM/IAC to create index files. The example given in SDK(SearchPdfVB) allows us to add,remove,enable and disable index files. But there is no method given in example to create an index file.
I want to create index file and the supporting folder which contains .idx files automatically ie through code. Is it possible to do so??
I also looked into the AVCommands but couldn't understand how to create the index files using AVCommands.
Can you please guide me.
Thanks!!

So how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?

hello
in WDS snap-in, in properties on server name, on client tab, we can define an answer file for unattended windows installation on WDS clients.
my question is, maybe we have added multiple images in WDS snap-in (win xp image, win 7 , win 2008,...)
now this one answer file applies to all of them ?
so how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?
thanks in advanced

Under the "Client" tab of WDS, you should only use an answer-file with settings relevant for the installation. This would be credentials for the WDS deployment share, international settings used during the setup and possibly also destination drive
details (if you want the installation to take care of partitioning the disk etc). The settings relevant for unattend-files used under "Client" would only be of those in phase 1 (WinPE).
However, if you would like to have specific unattend file for every installation, e.g. Win7, Server 2008, Win 8 etc, you can browse to the image under "Install Images" under the image Groups. There you can select properties for every image and
have a personal unattend-file.
hi Joel

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things. By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files. I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule. The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac. That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.

HT1343 how to use the options with F10, F11, F11 for turning the sound up or down or mute?

Hi, I'm Hannah. I'm using a Mac. Can you show me how to use the options with F10, F11, F12 for turning the sound up, or down or mute? Thank you very much

Normally simply pressing them should do what you want, F10 to mute; F11 to decrease volume; F12 to increase volume. However, it's possible that you have a box ticked in Keyboard preferences which modifies the behaviour of the keys, requiring you to also hold down the Fn key (bottom left key on the keyboard) to enable the function.
Check System Preferences>Keyboard to makes sure the box indicated in the image isn't ticked.
