Installation directory of Operating System

Hi all,
I am trying to know installation directory of operating system. I tried to get it with System.getProperty(key). But no key returns installation directory of OS. Currently i am working with windows XP. I need to save one dll dynamically in its /Windos/System32 directory. Plz help me how to do this.

I want to know in which directory operating system is installed dynamically. i have to download my library in windows/System32. Just repeating the same question doesn't offer any clarification.
Why do you want to find this directory? Why do you think you have to put your DLL there? What are you trying to accomplish by doing that? That's not your actual requirement; it's a solution you've come up with to whatever your actual requirement is. If you want that question answered, I suggest you define what you mean by "the directory where the OS is installed," because in general, there isn't really such a thing. Or you could answer my question about what you're actually trying to accomplish.

How to resync third generation iPod Touch after backup and restore and re installation of the operating system?

Hello. I have a third generation iPod Touch that I have been having problems with the cover art not displaying by the correct artists and the volume automatically adjusting after spell check has corrected a word. I backed up and restored the device and reinstalled the operating system, which fixed the bug I experienced with the album art not displaying next to the correct artists. Since that has happened, my computer no longer recognizes my iPod. How can I get it to recognize the iPod Touch again?

If I installa the new operative system do I loose programs I installed before?

Just a question: I installed Photoshop Elements on Snow Leopard and I wanted to upgrade my MacBookPro to Mountain Lion. If I install this upgrade, do I have to rebuy Photoshop or does it remain on my Pc?

Basically, you won't lose them, but you may lose other important files and folders that they need to function (preferences files, mostly), so I were you, I'd back up my Home directory (the one bearing your username), and the Applications folder, on a backup support of some sort, and copy their content (not the similarly named folders you've backed up) back on your startup volume after installing ML.
You should also note that some important preferences files are stored at the root of the system, and not in your Home directory. Those are the files related to startup items and launch daemons for system-wide (as opposed to per-user) applications. I'm pretty sure that most Adobe applications store some files and kexts there, probably under /Library/Adobe or /Library/Application Support.
Those preferences files will be recreated by their parent application upon first use, but you'll lose the settings you had saved prior to the ML install if you don't back them up too.

TS130 ERROR CODE 1962 - NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND

Lenovo TS130 Ubuntu Server 14.04 Error 1962: This error occurred during the installation of Ubuntu Server on a hard drive that was completely deleted and then re-partioned using "use entire disk" option in the installation menu: No operating system would start regardless of the BIOS settings such as UEFI, legacy, auto; quickboot; etc.
The solution was to update the BIOS to the latest version from the Lenovo website and then enable the new securboot feature in the BIOS menu.
For the TS130, this was accomplished by burning the BIOS update on a CD after downloading for the system from the Lenovo website and then updating the server via the CD and on-screen prompts.
The optimize BIOS defaults was selected from the Exit menu in the BIOS settings to set everything back to original before the update was run.
Then the CD drive was moved upwards above the hard drive under primary in the boot menu to run the BIOS Update CD at boot.
Afterwards, there will be additional options in the BIOS menu which is where the solution lies. There is a new option below the "load optimal defaults" which is new from the BIOS update and named optimize operating system defaults. Selecting this will bring up prompts asking about enabling securboot and such but if everything is enabled, the system started Ubuntu Server 14.04 without issues.

OUI-18001:operating system AIX is not supported.

Hi All,
I am installing my NW 7.0 SR2 system on AIX and oracle 10.2.0.2.
During database installation, when RUNINSTALLER is doing the prerequisite check it is showing me error:
OUI-18001: operating system AIX is not supported.
My AIX system is of version 5300-10-01.
Its very strange that it is giving error for AIX 5.3 ML 10. And in log it is showing that tool is expecting result 5200.004 or 5300.002.
Is it true that for AIX 5.3 ML 10 is not supported for oracle ?
Thanks
Sunny

Dear Sunny,
As an alternative, you can adjust oraparam.ini file with your operating system version detail.
Please refer the following SAP Notes carefully :

Operating System Package Section Window is blank for Task Sequence

Trying to create a capture and build sequence. I have added Win7 x64 to the 'Operating System Installers' section. But when going into 'Create Task Sequence' I dont have any operating systems to select. (see screenshot).
Only info I found on the web references to beta versions of SCCM 2012. I added server is SCCM 2012 R2 Update 1. (version 5.00.7958.1000).
Any Suggestions?

During the Create Task Sequence Wizard, this step requires to use a
Operating System Image (a WIM file) and not a Operating System Installer.
An Operating System Installer can only be used by editing the task sequence after the wizard.

Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines
with Pentium 4
Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 8.1.5
============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.6.0.9.0
Oracle 8.1.6
=============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.0.19.0
Oracle 8.1.7
==============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000
and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal
Installer (8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the
installer hangs.
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version
of the Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK
1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knowni ssue.htm
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are:
"Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for
JDK 1.2 Copyright (C)
1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".
DLLs older than this will also not work. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be
affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these
tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify
"-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating
system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard
disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications
(Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD
instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles
\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataF
iles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the
first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard
drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since
the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database
during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will
not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and
there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration
Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8
Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for
the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually.
NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one
with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for
Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through
the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the
Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in
the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit
-classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from
the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal
with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.
===============================================================
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.

SCCM 2012 - Adding Operating System Installer (The specified path does not contain a valid operating system ..)

I have encountered the dreaded "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it. Specify a valid path" message that seems to be popular in many forums .... BUT, so far none of the "solutions"
have fixed the problem (of I don't understand the fix)
Configuration
SCCM 2012 SP1 5.0.7804.1000
WADK 8.100.26629.0 < Suggested Fix
Server 2008 R2
SCCM Administrator with UserID = SCCMAdmin
Steps / Fixes I have followed
I have configured a administrative share
\\caleb\sources$ to hold directories (such as Apps, Drivers, and OS) with the following NTFS Permissions
EVERYONE has Read and Execute, List folder, Read permissions<o:p></o:p>
SYSTEM has Full Control
<Suggested Fix
SCCMManagers (our group that has all SCCMManagers) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
SCCMAdmin (the SCCM Admin account that we are using to import image) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
Local Administrators (the local machine administrator) has Full Control
<Suggested Fix
<o:p></o:p>
Another Fix is to explicitly grant all permissions to the SCCM Administrator
<Suggested Fix
>Administrative Users ...
Properties of the SCCM Administrator (for us that is SCCMAdmin) has all the boxes checked<o:p></o:p>
Another suggestion I was able to glean was to Specify the Network Access Account
so I configured SCCMAdmin as the Network Access Account.
Another potential fix is that the image ISO file that has been downloaded is corrupt.   So, I downloaded the Win 7 (and Win 8.1) ISO's from MSDN and did a Checksum check.
I then mounted the ISO (on 2008R2 I use VirtualClone Drive) and copied the contents of the image to
E:\Sources\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896 for Windows 7 with SP1
To double check,
I computed the Hash on the Install.WIM located in the Sources directory and compared with
the computed Has Tag for the Install.WIM on the ISO Image ... and the Hash tag of the WIM's matched (extracted vs what is contained within the ISO)<o:p></o:p>
I tried to load the images into SCCM 2012 using the "Operating System Installers" option
UNC to installer
\\caleb\sources$\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896
Then I receive the lovely message <o:p></o:p>
"The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it. Specify a valid path"<o:p></o:p>

sure that install.wim file is present in sources folder. What other folders/files does it need while importing OS?
Note: it is an customized OS. It has MS hotfixes and dotnet 4.5 installation package in it.

"Add Operating System Installer Wizard" Throws Error When Adding OS's

Good Afternoon All -
Okay - I just installed SCCM 2012 in our production environment - whoo hoo!
Going through the initial setup and configuration, I had a few errors that I had to take care of, but was able to figure out what caused them OR just uninstall / reinstall them fixed it. I've got a new issue I can't figure out, though.
On my SCCM 2012 Primary Site Server, I created a folder named Images and shared it to my SCCMAdmin account (full) and SCCM Admin group (full). Inside of it, I created sub folders for each of the OS's that I want to have installers for. For now,
I am working with Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64.
In the console (signed in as SCCMAdmin), I go to Software library, then Add Operating System Installer Wizard. I type in the UNC path going to shared folder, then sub folder holding the ISO file and click Next. I then get an error saying
"The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it. Specify a valid path."
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but here's what I've tried to fix it so far...
- Tried pointing it to a folder with the ISO's contents extracted as well as to the Sources folder
- Downloaded the ISO from TechNet so that I know it was fresh - nogo
- Tried adding a Windows 8 ISO I had laying around - nogo
- Checked folder share permissions as well as security ones. I even gave Everyone full access - nogo
- Checked SCCM component and site status - green across the board.
Any ideas? - Thanks!
Ben K.

Sorry to bring up a relatively old post, but wanted to relay my experience with this same problem. In my case, I knew all permissions were correct, but I received the same error message. Turns out the problem was that I had only copied the
install.wim file to my Images directory. I then directed SCCM to the Images directory and got the error message. The reason for the error was that SCCM is looking for the folder structure that is on the DVD, namely, the "sources" directory.
By the time I figured this out, I had already copied the entire "sources" directory to the root of my Images directory. I moved all of these files under the Images\Sources directory and went ahead and copied the rest of the DVD to the Images directory.
After doing that, I was able to complete the wizard as expected. Hope that helps someone to not have to waste the same 2 hours that I just did. :)

Ok. I could finde out the Problem.
I uninstalled VMware witht RevoUninstaller and deleted all Vmware sysfolders and all regKeys.
Important note:
The first Installtion was on the 2nd Hard disk on my PC. These Harddisk was Connected via USB3 Port. VMware was successfully installed, and via the standart installation procedure the ISO files could be installed in Vmware, but the problem persist with
WIN2012RT server.
After a new installation of VMware into the Local C: Drive. The Win2012RT.Iso could be installed. With this procedure

What is my operating system in regards to my printer installation?

When trying to install the drivers and software for your printer from the HP website, it is required to know both your operating system and your system type.
To determine if you have Windows or Mac, below is the icon you will find that is often referred to as the Start Button.
Windows 8 Windows 7 Windows Vista Windows XP Mac OS X
If you do not see either of these icons, then please review the owner's manual of your computer or find a section dedicated to product information or in the help section of the software/device you are using.
Click here if you do not see your operating system listed under the driver section of your printer's support website.
In earlier Windows versions: Select the Start button icon and right-click on Computer (Win7 or Vista) or My Computer (XP) and left-click on "Properties" at the bottom of the gray pop-window. Properties will display the Windows edition which contains information on which version of Windows you are using, the service pack, and further down you will find the system type which will indicate whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If you do not see a version type, it is likely a 32-bit Windows XP.
*Note: Windows Starter Editions can cause problems and errors and thus limiting you to strictly a USB connection during the installation and continued use of the printer's software.
In Windows 8: Right-click or tap and hold the lower left corner of the screen and then click or tap System in the menu. Find System Type in the System Window, and then note whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Click here to access the HP Support website regarding operating system types for more information.
Mac OS X: For information regarding your OS version click on the Apple () to access the menu and choose "About This Mac" and you will be able to tell which version you are running which is essential for installing the proper printer software.
Common Mac OS X have different names for their versions:
10.5 - Leopard
10.6 - Snow Leopard
10.7 - Lion
10.8 - Mountain Lion
Each version before and after the ones listed above also have additional names. Click here to access the Mac Support website for more information.
Linux print drivers: HP has designed what is noted as HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) software to include the driver, the toolbox, and the driver installer into one package. This software is designed to work for nearly every Linux distribution available. Click here to download the latest HPLIP software for your printer.
Be cautious about third-party websites offering downloads to certain HP software, especially if you are required to pay for it or pay for a tool to diagnose any issues you are having. Most HP download packages include the scanning software such as HP Solution Center or HP Image Zone. Specific software installed is not downloaded separately and therefor, if you cannot find it for free through the HP website, then be careful of what other companies are offering. You are putting your system at risk by downloading any software from an unknown manufacturer such as viruses, malware, or other security factors. Take precautions to protect yourself before you install any software from a third-party site.
If you have any questions regarding any of the information above, feel free to post about it. The HP Consumer Forum is a great place to look for expert advice regarding small to medium-sized printers (Officejet, Photosmart, Deskjet), along with how to install, update, or resolve other installation errors.
If you have questions regarding a large commercial-sized printer, seek additional expert advice at the HP Enterprise Business Community regarding large LaserJets, ScanJets, and DesignJets.
Lastly, if you just need a quick reference to a question regarding your printer or computer, click here for immediate access to your device's support website.
Thank you for being a part of the HP family and community.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
