Indesign CS5 Windows Start Menu

I've made an Indesign Package (MSI) with the Enterprise Deployment tool.
Installation goes well but there's one problem. It puts the shortcuts in the root of the All Programs in Start Menu. But I want it in a group like Indesign CS5 or something like that.
Does anyone know where you can change this?
I tried setup.xml but it has no effect with <property name="StartmenuSubfolders">......\startmenu\etc\etc\</property>>

I doubt anyone who hangs out on the SDK forum would have this answer. It's an IT question -- not really a developer question.
Like Peter says, your best bet would probably be on the CS forums, but there's not an awfully lot of IT proffesionals who hang out here.
You can try looking on the OOBE blog to see if the answer you are looking for is there, and maybe post your question in the comments in a related post if not...

How do I correct this to download iTunes so it will run?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu

Itunes update 10.5.2.11 for windows 7 (64 bit) keeps crashing at this point...
"an error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\microsoft\windows\start Menu"
I have read all of the forums to no avail. Seems like a common problem.
Has anyone had the same issue and actually solved it?

I'm getting this problem too. I have been running iTunes for a few years with no problems until recently. WHenever I try and open it I get an error message saying "An error occured while attmpting to create the directory: I:\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EQWindow.nib" with the options to retry or cancel. Retry just results in the same error message occuring again.
I've tried other programs on the I: drive and they work fine, I've also followed the 'Removing iTunes Configuration Files' and some of the other apple support guides with no success. My windows updates are fine.
Any suggestions?

Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?

Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?
I have successfully installed working deployments to target machines. However, I was expecting to see the installation listed as "My TestStand System A" in my start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?
Also, if I peform a different second deployment to the target station like "My TestStand System B", all of the LabVIEW files from my previous installation for "My TestStand System A" disappear from the target directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand System A).
I am using TestStand 4.2.1 Professional on the development station with Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Paul,
That solved my second problem and inspired me to search deeper for the answer to my first problem. The answer is in the "Distributed Files" tab, "installer properties", "Create a Program Item" checkbox:
Wouldn't it be nice if this was automatically checked by default for the main sequence files? Wouldn't it also be nice if "Upgrade Code" was automatically regenerated by default whenever we saved the *.tsd file under a different name?
Thanks again,
Eugene

Display issue with vertical windows start menu and dual screen

Hello everyone
I never reported it and I didn't find any information on google or mozilla support about this so here it is :
I am on windows 7 and I set up my windows start menu vertically. I also have 2 screens. These both points are important. If I put the start menu horizontally I do not have the issue anymore, and If I turn off one screen to have the display only on one screen, I do not have the issue anymore, which is a rare setup I guess so it could explain why this bug has never been detected.
HERE IS THE ISSUE
I have display issues on website with a big width, even the default add-ons Manager firefox page doesn't display correctly. Here is a screen shot:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/368172bugFirefoxDisplay.png
So as you can see the disable and remove button on the right are not displayed, and at the bottom there isn't any scroll bar to scroll ! So I have no way to display the information on the right of the page, and it happens on a lot of other website (gmail, etc)
It is not such a big issue because my start menu is on my left screen and I can move firefox on the right screen to have a correct display.
I still think this is worth reporting this bug. I hope it is clear, feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Air application uninstall links in Windows start menu?

Hi,
Can anyone help how can be implemented Air application uninstall links in Windows start menu.
Thanks,
Premkant

Thanks, In Windows 2000 it is "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs".
One more doubt, How can I create Shortcuts using Java? I have tried to create desktop icons using following script.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/wsconcreatingshortcut.asp
Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
DesktopPath = Shell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
link = Shell.CreateShortcut(DesktopPath + "\\test.lnk");
link.Arguments = "1 2 3";
link.Description = "test shortcut";
link.HotKey = "CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+X";
link.IconLocation = "app.exe,1";
link.TargetPath = "c:\\blah\\app.exe";
link.WindowStyle = 3;
link.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\blah";
link.Save();
But my Antivirus tool is not allowing this script to run using Java.
Is there any way to create DeskTop icons for Java application and add entry to Start Menu -- programs..?
thanks

Windows Start Menu key

Is it possible to capture the Windows Start Menu key in Java, or should I give up all hope?

The "Windows"-Key fires VK_UNDEFINED / CHAR_UNDEFINED:
* KEY_PRESSED and KEY_RELEASED events which do not map to a
* valid Unicode character use this for the keyChar value.
So: Give up all hope. Especially on a Mac.

Is it possible uninstall link in Windows start menu?

Hi
I need the my Air application uninstall link and others doc links in Windows start menu?
Is it possible in Flex air?
Thanks,

PHP includes should look like this:
<?php require_once('folder/filename.php'); ?>
<?php require('folder/filename.php'); ?>
Some people use the Insert Panel. Others find it more convenient to create Custom Snippets.

Scrollable menu like Windows Start menu

Hi Forum,
I want to create scrollable menu like windows start menu. The menu should scroll on demand. It has to be shown in the same way as windows is showing like If we place the mouse over the scroll menu. The arrow should be shown if the menu has more children. The arrow menu item should be shown if the children cannot be shown in the screen limit.
Please help me out in this. If anyone have the implementation, please pass it to me
Thanks and Regards
V.S.Saravanan

Hi,
Thanks. But I want windows start menu like solution. In windows, by default only recently accessed menus will be shown, if user put the mouse over the down arrow button then the other children will be shown. If all the children cannot be shown in the screen, then you will get arrow as first menu item and down arrow as last menu item. User can scroll to the next children.
Thanks and Regards

How can I add short cuts to the windows task bar and windows start menu??

Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out how to add stuff to the windows start menu and windows task bar. I have no clue on how to do this. Can anyone help me pliz?? one other question is that if I manage to do it some how, it will limit my program to windows right?? is there a way out of it??

Can anyone help me pliz?? one
other question is that if I manage to do it somehow,
it will limit my program to windows right?? isthere
a way out of it??Yes. Writing it in VB.I'm sorry, I'm too tired to actually read. I thought you want to limit it to Windows. No, you won't be limiting it to Windows, as your application will hopefully not crash in case there is no start menu entry or system tray icon.

Indesign CS5 Lion Start-up Crash

I just got a new MacBook Air with OSX Lion preinstalled, and have transferred files over from a snow leopard mac using migration assistant. After that, Indesign CS5 will not start on the air. I have tried updating the software several times, and nothing seems to work. Photoshop works fine, as does indesign on my other computer, but it crashes on startup, after the splash screen mentions something about installing plugins which never work. What should I do?

I've migrated from a Snow Leopard using the migration tool to a new Lion preinstalled machine. And I have the same problem. Both my CS5 and CS5.5 crashes on startup. Other Adobe CS-product work fine as far as I've testes - positivly photoshop and illustrator.
It crashes at the same time weather I open the program through a file or open the application directly from my HD (see screenshot)
My startup status-line init with "Initialising .."
Then "Loading the application .."
Then "Registering 233 plugins .."
Then "Saving object model .." (a fraction of a second)
Then the status line "Initializing plug-ins .."
and it crashes shortly theirafter (2 sec after) on my specific machine.
My CS5 crashes same way and same exact point in the startup procedure.
My hardware is 2.3ghz core i7 macBookPro with 8Gb 1333 Mhz DDR3 ram and a primary solid state HD with room the spare.
Any help is appreciated

InDesign CS5 crashes on menu events

If I install a menu event with applescript, indesign CS5 crashes if the last event handler contains commands from the UI Suite (make dialog...). The dialog appears, but after selecting something indesign crashes. I tried everthing that I know. Event handlers without dialogs and with standard apple script dialogs (display dialog) are running fine. Does anybody made similar experience?

Excellent information - but it didn't seem to help.
I renamed the two files, opened the application again and saw the same behavior. The system did add new InDesign Defualts and InDesign SavedData files - that were much smaller than the renamed ones.
Just note, this is a new computer - I did not have InDesign CS4 loaded on this laptop.
Also, we have two licenses. The person using the second license has exactly the same problem.
Any other ideas?? Thanks again.

Norwegian charcters Unicode problem, InDesign CS5, Windows 7 64 bit

Hello
I have a problem with moving files from within an indesign plugin. I try to move an image file to the same folder as the inDesign document.
The problem is that the document folder contains norweigian characters. The folder name is: Boligdrøm_FW. If the folder is renamed to: Boligdrom_FW, it works without a problem.
The customer is using InD CS5, Windows 7, 64 bit. Im using Windows 7, 32 bit system, I can not reproduce the problem.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Does anyone have a quick solutions?
Best regards
/ Pontus
Im using the folowing code to copy the file:
res = MoveFile((LPCWSTR)newFilepath.GrabWString(), (LPCWSTR)documentPath.GrabWString());
Im using this code to get the path to the document:
IDataBase* db = ::GetDataBase(doc);
if (db) {
     const IDFile    *dbSysFile = db->GetSysFile();
      if (dbSysFile) {
          PMString    documentPath("");
          SDKUtilities::GetPathName(*dbSysFile,documentPath);
          IDFile        f(documentPath);
          documentPath.Truncate(f.GetFileName().NumUTF16TextChars());

Not sure if this will help. Look at the PMString translation stuff. ( SetTranslated ).

Adobe eLearning Suite 2 Workflows link in Windows START Menu fails

I just recently purchased the Adobe eLearning Suite 2 and I get an error message when I click on the following link:
Start - All Programs - Adobe eLearning Suite 2 - Adobe eLearning Suite 2 Workflows
Error message is within an Adobe Air dialog box - This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance.
The link points to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe eLearning Suite 2 Workflows\en_US\Main.exe"
My first question is: What happens when you click on this link? Is there any utility behind it that will help me in my workflows? Am I wasting my time to try and find out what this link does?
I reached out to technical support and after several calls and being tossed around to several departments, they ultimately said my version of Windows was not supported by eLearning Suite 2. One guy (Application Specific queue) said he tried it on his machine and got the same error but he couldn't help me because it was an installation issue and that I would have to open a sevice contract ($40.00) to get help with this problem and dumped me back to the installation folks who told me my machine was not supported. What the??
I found the support page for the suite and it just says "Windows 7." I opened up a CHAT dialog box on the same page and that person "Scott" told me that all versions of Windows 7 are supported for the suite.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit on my PC. The eLearing Suite 2 website says the system requirements support "Windows 7." My assumption is that the suite is supported on my machine.
My next question now is: Is my Windows 7 version supported (Yes or No)? If so, then why doesn't the above mention link work?
If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate your help.

I have tried the above solution to no avail. It seems the root cause of the problem is incompatibility with the new version of AIR
Here's a link to another thread with the same problem
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/677258
Surely a multimillion dollar company like Adobe which is trying to be very customer orientated can afford to get the original creator of Workflows to provide an updated version of the program which will work with the latest version of AIR
