Install flash with a batch file

good morning every one! i need some help.here's the hole
thing.i made an unattended XP installation and i wtote this little
batch file "start /wait flash9.exe /q" . i want to install the
flash active-x after the finish of xp installation,when it starts
for the first time the desktop. i tried many ways but no
luck...does anyone knows how to do it? the process stops and i
think that the desktop is not fully loaded when the batch
runs....thanks for your attention!

I don't know about formating around bad blocks, but I do know a thing or two about SS drives.  In my day job I design rugged computer systems that must withstand ridiculous vibration levels, as such we use SSDs.
They are not trivial devices and do a substantial amount of internal house keeping.
In general, they map logical blocks (the ones that are specified via the IDE interface) to physical locations in the drive.  They dynamically keep track of bad or worn out physical blocks and remove them from the logical to physical map. 
Even more clever, they keep track of the write history to the physical blocks and perform automatic write leveling.  If a given portion of the drive is seeing excessive write cycles, while other areas never change, the controller will move the static data to the more worn area of the drive and the dynamic data to the areas that have less wear.  The map of logical to physical allocation is silently updated internally, and the external driver never knows it happened.
Because of the write leveling, when a drive starts to fail due to wear out, you will find the whole whole drive quickly fails.
Other considerations:  SSDs are VERY sensitive to loosing power during a write cycle.  The best way to corrupt a SSD is to power it down when it is performing a write or internal house keeping.
When selecting a SSD, or any solid state storage (SD, USB Drive, CF, etc...) pick one that uses single level encoding.  This means it stores one bit of data per EE cell.  Multi level encoding uses analog techniques to put more than one bit per cell.  Good for storage density, BAD for data integrity and storage life.

  • Installing CuciMOC with a Batch File

    I'm trying to get this thing to install with a batch file and Altiris.  What switches did you guys use on the msi?  What switches did you use on the exe?  Which would you use the msi or the exe? Why?
    Thanks in advance!  I'm a batch file n00b. 

    We lost our steam on this project because some other things came up.  I'll post what
    we had before we stopped working on it:
    echo Install Dot Net 3.5 SP1
    "Z:\Software\Microsoft\Dot NET\3.5\dotnetfx35_SP1_Full.exe" /q /c: "install /l /qb"
    echo Killing MS Outlook and OCS Communicator
    taskkill /IM "iexplore.exe" /F
    taskkill /IM "outlook.exe" /F
    taskkill /IM "communicator.exe" /F
    echo Copying CuciMoc
    xcopy "Z:\Software\Cisco\CuciMoc\cucimoc-Install-ffr.7-1-3a\CiscoUCIntegrationTMforMicrosoftOfficeCommunicatorK9.msi" "C:\IT\CuciMOC\" /I
    echo Installing CuciMoc
    "C:\IT\CuciMOC\CiscoUCIntegrationTMforMicrosoftOfficeCommunicatorK9.msi" /qn
    echo CuciMOC is installed
    ****From what the other guy said it doesn't install correct in our environment.  The install goes through then when you log in as admin it says that ocs must be closed, then you close it and it says it needs to be running and fails.  Haven't looked into it any further yet. Maybe the above will help for you.

  • Sqlplus commands from withing the batch files

    Hi,
    Oracle9.2
    need to execute the sqlplus commands from withing the batch files without calling the .sql file separately . How it can be done ?
    With Regards

    Hi,
    I agree with you...but as per your solution, after all you are calling the .sql file while connecting the sqlplus which I know already and I don't want to execute the sql commands like that as shown below.
    For example:
    for shut down the database and starting it again .sql files will be called as shown below
    Note: shutdown.sql file will contain simple database shutdown command.
    sqlplus -s "sys/%password%@%tnsname% as sysdba" @D:\shutdown_db.sql
    and again for restarting the db i will perform as below
    sqlplus -s "sys/%password%@%tnsname% as sysdba" @D:\start_db.sql
    But I want to get it executed directly from the DOS batch file.
    The thing is I want to execute this both the above database commands from the batch file itself without calling the .sql files separately as shown above.
    is it possible, so how it can be done ?
    Regards

  • Upgrading but not installing Flash with MSI

    I have an environment of some 600 PCs running XP. A few have Flash installed, most do not. Those that have Flash installed are a variety of versions.
    It's my intent to perform a Flash install using MSI and GPO, and that's (mostly) tested and working.
    However, I don't want to install Flash anywhere it isn't already. The systems that do have Flash installed are effectively random across the organization, not matching up in any way to GPO.Doing that I want to use the MSI, so I can have it automatically install to the machine.
    Is there a way to install/upgrade Flash only on those systems that already have Flash installed, and not install it elsewhere?
    Thanks

    I don't know how to do that, although it sounds like a very good idea.
    Have you seen the new 10.1 Admin Guide if it contains any suggestions: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html ?
    You will probably need to write some sort of script to test for a current FP installation before you proceed with the update.

  • RUNAS another user: assistance with my batch file for control panel and explorer

    Hello, for desktop support on end user or multi/generic user pcs it is nice to access common commands quickly from a batch file to run under your account. In xp both explorer and control panel apps launched without issues. The primary issue for explorer
    is it appears to ignore the runas command (but the user has permissions to explorer so no error) while the control panel apps ignores run as well but does not have permissions so generates an error. The other commands all execute as the attempting admin's
    account.
    who it is for: the user with the admin account to execute on the user's desktop whom is a nonadmin
    **please note, the commands appear to work if you do have admin rights**, the logged in user does not  have admin rights to these utilities like in a common corporate environment.
    "windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    Issue#1:
    With win7 if you do a run as for explorer.exe via batch it will open, but will still be running under the signed in user. I have searched many threads on various sites and have not found a working solution for batch, this may be something I need to retire.

    You guys I appreciate the feedback but please read my entire post and help if related, this is getting a bit frustrating.
    a. I am not developing a powershell solution or "how do I launch them via command prompt" that is well known. The goal is to create an easy to use "run as helper" script for those that are not as savvy or do not have the commands memorized.
    Even so many of your suggestions do not work because the user logged in does not have admin rights and the commands are blocked because of this restriction.
    b. This is for the batch file in question, NOT "how do I launch command prompt as an admin"
    c. Again, several options work, several do not (network connections and programs and features do not) must likely due to same limitations as explorer.exe or UAC
    d. this is not "how do I launch the utilities by command line" it is "how do I launch them as the admin WHEN the current user does not have admin rights". The entire script works on a pc if you have admin rights because its launching
    it instead AS the current user, in that case the current user has admin rights therefore it doesnt reproduce the issue.
    e. running by control.exe using the app name or with cpl does not resolve the issue.
    f. I did not post that command prompt is having issues launching, I wrote a couple times that the options in my script do work such as command prompt. Even if you launch command prompt you cannot launch programs and features or network connections with your
    admin account with or without an additional runas command.

  • Alternate Shell with specified batch file

    Hi there,
    I've created a set of scripts for my computer lab which, per a scheduled task, reboots the computer into safeboot with the alternate shell enabled (via bcdedit). It also sets the machine to auto-login (via registry keys).
    Then it runs a couple of malware scans, and whatever other clean-up tasks I want.
    Now, I'm wanting to pass a script to be executed by the cmd.exe shell (i.e. the 'alternate' shell), but it seems no matter what syntax I use, it doesn't want to parse anything after the cmd.exe in the registry.
    e.g.
    batch file syntax, with executable in QMs and parameters un-quoted:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\AlternateShell : "cmd.exe" /C C:\labUtilities\***.bat
    Fully-quoted:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\AlternateShell : "cmd.exe /C C:\labUtilities\***.bat"
    Fully un-quoted:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\AlternateShell : cmd.exe /C C:\labUtilities\***.bat
    Does anyone have experience with passing parameters to via the AlternateShell key?
    I know for a fact this is possible, as I've seen it done by malware; I just can't remember the syntax it used.
    Thank you!

    i think it should be:
    CMD /c "C:\labUtilities\***.bat" under normal circumstances, not sure if this will work out of the registry.

  • Can I close Firefox and Plugin-container with a batch file? ANSWER: Yes. SOLUTION below.

    Steps to create batch file to End process tree: "Firefox.EXE"
    1. create new .txt file
    2. copy/paste the following: taskkill /IM firefox.exe
    3. Save
    4. Rename the txt file - EndFirefoxTree.bat
    5. Run from desktop at any time, give it a cute icon if you'd like!.

    This works well although user will need to put the .bat file in Documents and create a shortcut to desktop in order to change the icon (of the shortcut).

  • Error installing Flash with windows 2k sp4

    I just re-installed Win 2000 Pro (desktop) and I'm trying to

  • How to create directories with a "batch" file

    Hi,
    This may be a no brainer for you wizards out there.
    I have a text file with several hundred lines in it. Each line contains the name of a directory I'd like to create.
    I'm hoping there's a way to prepend something like "mkdir" to each line and then "execute" the file from a terminal window to create all these directories for me.
    Anybody got any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Install ArchLinux with a badblocks file?

    I have an SSD that seems to be degrading quite gracefully, the whole drive isn't dead I'm just getting a lot of bad blocks, the rest are still readable.
    What would I need to do, to get the Arch Installer to avoid bad blocks, and also possibly format partitions around bad blocks?  I know it's not "recommended" - unfortunately I bought this EEE 900a used, and it seems whoever, did whatever on it - and they didn't turn off logging, or something, and it got majorly burnt on the writes (how in the hell someone uses up that many writes on an SSD in the course of a year or less is beyond me)
    Do I just need to create my /boot partition in a known good area, and my / as the rest of the drive? - How do I get the installer to avoid the bad blocks?...or even get the installer to make the file system around the bad blocks?
    Pardon me if 1/2 of the terminology I'm using is incorrect or w/e - correct me, and if possible, help me
    I understand my options of installing to an SD card, etc but I'm broke as a joke and don't own anything of the sort.

  • Problem with .cmd/batch file, while scheduling RMAN backup

    I am running Oracle 10g on Windows. I Have written RMAN Backup script & saved it as .cmd file. Now i will schedule this via AT utility on windows. While i try to run this .cmd file then after starting RMAN it does nothing, neither RMAN gets connected to target database nor backup gets started. What may be the problem??
    Contents of .cmd file are like this:-
    RMAN target 'sys/manager@test'
    backup database include current controlfile;
    backup archive log;

    RMAN target 'sys/manager@test'
    backup database include current controlfile;
    backup archive log;will not work. You are passing 3 different commands to the Windows command interpreter. CMD executes the first command 'RMAN target ...@test" and waits for it to complete before it will proceed to attempt to execute the "backup database".
    That is, the "backup database" command isn't being passed to RMAN at all.
    You should put the two "backup" commands in a script file (as you would do for an SQLPlus script file) -- eg backup.rmn and execute it with rman
    eg
    rman target 'sys/manager@test'  @backup.rmn
