Installer directory case

Hi,
I use the LabWindows CVI 9.0 installer to add a hierarchy of files and directories needed by my application to the installation path.
Everything work fine unless the installer does not keep the case of the directory.
This is a problem since my application interface with linux and the directory case makes the difference.
Is there a way to force the installer to keep the same directory name (and case) of that in the source directories tree?
Thank you very much in advance for your help

There was a bug (#165285) that caused subdirectories of the application directory to always have the names transformed to lowercase when installed. This bug was introduced in version 8.1 and was fixed in version 2009.
Because the bug only affected subdirectories of the application directory, you can avoid this bug by setting the application directory to another arbitrary, dummy directory in your distribution. The downside of this workaround is that when the installer is run, the user will be able to change that the path to that dummy directory, instead of the root directory of your application. To avoid confusion, you might want to disable that directory selection page of the installer. To do so, you must manually change the value of "SingleDirectory" in the distribution's setup.ini file (right next to the setup.exe file) from 1 to 0.
Let me know if you have any trouble.

Why do we need write access to Java installation Directory

We are Upgrading from Siebel Analytics 7.8 to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
As OBIEE needs Java 1.5 or higher as a pre-requisite we are planning to uninstall Java 1.4 and install latest version of Java 1.5.
According to OBI Installation and Configuration Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf -> Page 39 "If you are installing using the Basic installation type, make the user or user group permissions
writable for the user installing Oracle Business Intelligence, for all JDK 1.5.0 installation directories,
subdirectories, and files". Can anybody let me know why we need write access to Java Installation Directory??
Thanks,
Chandra

I had this same question and asked Oracle. Here's what I was told:
Per Dev:
"For OBI Presentation Services and OBI Publisher, jdk fonts files are copied into the JDK location because we do not bundle our own JDK. To ensure the install can do this you need to ensure that the Oracle BI installer has permissions to copy files to the specified JDK location.
This means that if the same user who installer/untarred JDK is also installing Oracle BI, the install should work. In this case the the permissions of the JDK is probably 755.
It will not work if a root user installs JDK and a normal user installs Oracle BI because the normal user does not have access to write to the JDK location or will not work if the JDK location is read-only, i.e. 444. In this case running chmod -R 777 will work."

Sequence app with modify rights to installation directory

Hey there
I've got an application, where the user must have Change / Modify Rights to the Installation Directory. By Default, the Installation is installed in C:\Vendor\App1. If i just install the application locally the application can be launched without any
problem.
I tried to sequence the App with App-V 5.0 SP2 HF4 with PVAD "C:\Vendor1" and i selected the Option "Allow virtual application full write permissions to the virtual file System" on the Advanced Tab of the Sequencer. If i start the application
i get an error that the database (Application is an Access addin) is only in read mode, and that the application can't get startet.
Also i'm not able to manually add or modify rights in the Installation Directory.
Have i missed something? Isn't the Option "Allow virtual application full write permissions..." for this case?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards, Simon

In the first post I read it as you captured to PVAD, and in the post above you set it to VFS. Did you do a second capture? If not which are the files in?
You can always run procmons, etc, to try to figure out what is going on. The application can always be doing something 'weird', unfortunately its hard to give you a really solid solution with all the potential variables.
You could upgrade to SP3, and resequence. Beyond that, you could try going into the VE, and writing a dummy file to that DIR, to see if you get any permissions error. Does the program put itself into PATH or anything like that? If there
are references to the C:\ProgramData location, its possible the program is trying to write to that folder, which is the outside folder you can't write to.

SCCM 2012 Installation Directory Registry Key chaning automatically to Old Installation Path

Hi Guys,
I have recently recovered SCCM 2012 SP1 CAS Site from Primary Site by reinstalling CAS site and database was replicating with Primary sites properly after CAS recovery. But we noticed that after approx. 2 hours of CAS site recovery database replication stopped.
After long digging into SCCM log files we found that SCCM installation directory was pointing to old CAS Site Installation Directory (Which was before recovery) instead of NEW Installation Directory so we changed SCCM CAS Site Installation Directory manually
to new installation path in below registry key and everything was running fine again on CAS Site.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Identification
But again when we restarted SMS_EXEUTIVE Service, SCCM Installation Directory again changed to old installation patch under above registry location and all is bad again. We are unable to figure out what is causing this and even we formatted our HDD before
installation CAS Site.
Can anyone please help to get rid of this issue. Our while CAS site is down due to this issue.
Thanks.

I think that you have to use the same installation directory in a site recovery scenario.

Windows installation directory

I am unable to reinstall Photoshop CS6 (I do have the serial number) on my Macbook Pro 10.9.5 (Mavericks os). and am getting the message "Installation on case-sensitive volumes is not supported. Please choose a different volume for installation." I am further told that "Adobe apps cannot be installed on case-sensitive drives, you need to Install the product onto an HFS+ or HFSJ non-case-sensitive drive."
What I don't understand is this: I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine. Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop. 1) Why did it work before and it's not working now? 2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

Hey iraravitz,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are working on.
You might receive this error when you attempt to install on a drive with the HFS+ Case Sensitive file system, which is not supported for installation of Adobe Creative Suite 6.
So, please try installing on a drive that has been formatted with a supported file system.
You might refer the KB doc link mentioned below for the same:

Creative Cloud - BUG Changing Installation Directory for Apps

I searched and could only find this similar post here
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5498967#5498967
Which stated the issue I am experiencing. In the preferences of the creative cloud desktop program I changed the installation directory to D drive because I have my main hard drive partitioned and the programs would take up too much space on C. Regardless of the change in preferences the applications were still installing to my C drive. I tried restarting and reinstalling and nothing seemed to work.
Finally I decided to reallocate my D partition back to C, I have yet to complete this because I am waiting for all the data on D to be transferred to an external drive so I can recombine it to C without losing data ( I don't know if this is necessary, I haven't recombined partitions in the operating system before, but just to be safe)
ANYWAY
As I am waiting for the transfer (Over 120gbs takes a while) I changed the installation directory in the Creative Cloud preferences back to C and went ahead and installed the program I was trying to prior to all this. Guess What? It installed to my D drive!!!
This isn't a serious bug for me, just incredibly annoying and causing a lot of extra work on my part just to install the program I wanted. However for someone who requires a different directory to install to and cannot rearrange their computer to accommodate this bug I could see it being more serious. Has anyone else had this issue and did you find a solution? Thanks.
P.S. Adobe you rock, I hope your other CC programs don't feel rushed for release like your installer does

ADOBE WILL TRY TO DELETE YOUR LEGACY APPS!!!! Do NOT let them! They could put you out of business! Here is a tech support transcript, see for yourselves:
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: I need to know that NONE of my legacy adobe apps will be affected. CS5 suite and CS6 products will NOT be affected is that right??????????????
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to dixxx.net at the end of your chat.

ADOBE CUSTOMER: WHOA! you are saying that my CS% and CS 6 apps will be hurt and not run correctly is that right?
Vipin: We need to remove all the Adobe apps installed on your computer.
Vipin: Is that okay.
Vipin: May I have your permission to connect to your computer remotely and try to solve the problem while you watch?
ADOBE CUSTOMER: There is no way I give permission to delete CS5 creative suite, CS6 video production suite or hurt them in any way what so ever. I have THOUSANDS of dollars of plugins and other workfow products that depend on them. Sorry but my only recourse is to
ADOBE CUSTOMER: see if you have ANY loyalty to an OVER 30 years adobe customer (me) when you demand payout for the remaining 5 months of the subscription. I'm betting you will just send the bill to collections for non payment. If so, you WILL be sued for non service and non delivery of product. And yes, I am ready to spend over xxxx on a suit vs adobe because of how you have treated me. The point is I know that I am not alone, and that's sad.
Then after TECH NO SUPPORT, CSRs try to 'handle' me:
If you do decide to cancel, we can refund your subscription.
If you stay with the service, we can provide 2 free months as an apology for the technical difficulties. We cannot provide a free year.
Please let me know which you would like to do.
Thanks,

And now the word is out that you are raising subscription prices after the first year? Who do you think you are? You HURT peoples ability to earn a living! You cost us hours and days and months trying trying to fix your problems so we can move forward with your products? Who in the hell do you think you are? Tell you what, dont cancel a thing.

Tell your customers that after FOUR months of unusability of your product, DAYS of the customer trying to fix the company problem, that your solution is give them TWO months FREE then JACK the price up for them!

Installation Directory BO/InstallData/InstallCache/ needs a lot of space

HI together,
maybe someone of you know a solution?
We have installed a BO4.0 Enterprise Server, and we installed a lot of patches since now.
The installation directory (BO/InstallData/InstallCache/) needs now a lot of space.
Is it possible to reorganise this directory or is it possible to delete some files?
Thanks in advance
David

Hi David Bartuli,
Run Disk Cleanup you will get some space.
Right click the drive Select Properties. Click Disk Cleanup....
If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use Disk Cleanup. It removes temporary files, empties the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of system files and other items that you no longer need.

Installation Directory Path Permissions

Hi,
I have a SCCM 2012 Virtual Lab as follows:
Host - 2012 R2, Hyper V Role installed. Nothing else.
VM: 2012 R2 DC Edition. SQL 2012 installed on D Drive. SCCM 2012 Installed on D Drive.
Issue:
All folders within D:\Program Files\Config Mgr are "Access Denied" to the account I created for SCCM Installation. This account is a member of domain admins, enterprise admins, Schema Admins. (It's only a lab......)
I could not even find log files until I gave myself access to the LOGS folder. This happens to every folder within the parent installation directory. I am assuming this is not normal. Could someone please confirm that I can just say "Yes" when
the OS asks me if i want access? I'm having issues with PXE which I cant help but feel could be caused by the lack of access across all these folders.......
Interestingly, I have had this numerous times on other Server 2012 deployments and on Windows 8! Maybe this is an underlying inherent behvaiour??? Much appreciate any responses regarding this.
Cheers everybody

Change the Standard Installation Directory of SMD Agent

Hi Everyone,
Standard Installation Directory of SMD Agnet is /usr/sap/SMD which I want to change & Install the SMD Agent
under /usr/sap/<SID>/SMD directory
I dont want maintain soft link way
Is it possible , If yes then How ??
Thanks in advance
Regards
Deepak Gosain

Dear Deepak Gosain
Keep in mind that Diagnostics Agent 7.11 is the new version for SAP Solution Manager EHP1 > SP20. Depending on your current version of Solution Manager you might want to start installating the new version.
The new version has it's own unique SID and acts like a SAP system: for example for stop/start it uses stopsap and startsap commands, instance profiles and SAP JVM instead of OS JVM.
Structure in new version is /usr/sap/<SID>/SDMA<instance no> where SID needs to be unique (so not your existing SAP system SID).
Kind regards
Tom

Need detailed instructions on how to enable " Check for Updates" option on the Firefox installation directory for Windows XP.

I have Firefox 2.0 (running Windows XP) and want to update it to 3.6, but the "Check for updates" option on the Help menu is grayed out and need to enable this option by changing permissions on the Firefox installation directory. I need detailed instructions on how to access the Firefox installation directory and change the permissions.
Can someone please assist?
Thank you.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
Install the new version that you have downloaded.
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

OT: Permissions for FrameMaker installation directory

I have never run into this before. I jumped into my FrameMaker installation directory, because some things in maker.ini are not available in the copy in my profile path (such as paste preferences), and I was blocked from saving changes because I lacked permissions.
Why do IT departments lock that down?
I mean, clearly programs can install there, so a virus or malicious code could still do harm, but why do they lock me, the local admin, out? Any thoughts.
Also, let's pass along to Adobe the need to move all those ini settings somewhere else.
Cheers,
Sean

Psst – if you’re getting locked out of your own c:\ drive, you’re not a local admin – you may have to “promote” yourself to give yourself rights to those folders – since Vista, Mr. Bill’s been trying to protect us from ourselves (LOL)

Installation Directory in Xcode 4

I'm writing Mac app for my own use only.
I keep in certain folder all my AppleScript Editor apps and run them from there.
"Xcode also has an Installation Directory build setting that lets you install a build product in a specific location. The Installation Directory is in the Deployment collection."
How i tell Xcode 4 to put working copy of app to this custom folder without moving any stuff in DerivedData folder?
I can't have any DerivedData stuff in this folder, because it would mess my workflows.
Thanks

1st. create a new viewController in your storyboard.
2nd. create new file that's called objective-C Class, choose a name for your class (example SecondViewController) and make sure that you have selected UIViewController.
If you have created that file go to you SecondViewController.m, and scroll down to
return (interfaceOrientation != UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
Delete: return (interfaceOrientation != UIIinterfaceOrientation PortraitUpsideDown);, and put in state of that: return YES;
Dont forget to link up that SecondViewController to your new viewController in storyboard.
I hope that this will solve your problem.
