Installing extensions in a user folder (not in a system folder) - possible?

Hello,
I suppose this is an old question, but I have not been able to find any answer in the forums (probably I used the wrong search terms).
If this is the wrong forum to post this topic to, please suggest me a better one.
Question: in the context of using the Java Plug-In, is it possible to install Java extensions in a user folder, rather than in the default location <javahome>/lib/ext ?
The background of the question should be clear: installing extensions to the usual location requires running the browser "As Administrator" under Windows Vista and beyond.
TIA to all volunteers,

I mentioned the Java Plug-In, as the application I am referring to is in fact an applet.The Java Plug-In more recently applies to both JWS apps. and applets. In fact, JWS services can even be used in an embedded applet (they could be used in free-floating applets since Java 1.2).

You may have to log in as the Administrator user rather than
"run as adminstrator".
Beyond that, are there really enough users on a system that
they can't install the extension(s) they need themselves?

How does installing programs work when user folder moved to separate drive?

Hi everyone
I have my user folder on a separate drive from my boot drive.
I have set up a new installation of OS X on a third drive and pointed the main account's user folder on that third drive to the user folder drive.
This means that the dock that shows up when I boot off that third drive contains aliases linking to programs on the ordinary boot drive.
If I install programs on the third drive and make aliases in the dock, will that cause a conflict when I boot off the ordinary boot drive?
And if I remove from the dock aliases linking to the ordinary boot drive, will they then disappear when booted off the ordinary boot drive?
Thanks for any insight.
/p

I tried that.
1) I created a standard user account called "Test."
2) While logged in as Test I edited the sidebar. Then I logged out and back in again to confirm that the settings were retained. They were.
3) While logged in as Test I copied the user folder from SystemDisk/Users/Test to DataDisk/Users/Test.
4) I logged out of Test and logged in as Admin.
5) I changed the home directory for the Test account to /Volumes/DataDisk/Users/Test.
6) I deleted the directory at SystemDisk/Users/Test.
7) I logged out of Admin and logged in as Test.
8) I edited the sidebar. Then I logged out and back in again to see if the settings were retained. They were not.
9) I repeated steps 3-7, this time moving the home directory back to its original location at SystemDisk/Users/Test.
10) Again I edited the sidebar, logged out and logged back in again. This time the settings were retained, just as they had been before I moved the directory in the first place.
Since the functionality returns when I move the home directory back to the system disk, I've concluded that it is not due to any corruption of library files or such. It seems to be a problem with the location of home directory.
V.K., in your configuration, is the account with the moved home directory an Admin account or a Standard account? I have not tested this with an admin account and I suppose that might make a difference.

Installed OSX 10.7Lion. Quicken not compatable. Is uninstall possible?

Just upgraded to OSx Lion 10.7 and find that Quicken 2007 won't open as Lion does not support it. Quicken advises that it does not yet have Quicken for Lion but is working on it. Meantime I am stuck as I use Quicken all the time. I am wondering if it is possible to uninstall Lion using the Snow Leopard install CD. At present, Lion is a disaster and I'd like to get rid of it and go back to Snow Leopard. Apple really screwed up with this one.

Well I guess it is all in the beholder. I did a free trial of iBank and found it to be incompatible with most financial institutions. The only why you can obtain your banking/investment account information is to export it from those companies web base site. I'm not the most sophisticated financial person, but I have found Essentials to handle my needs well. One click on the update icon and all 8 of my accounts are update.

AX Dynamics 2012 Reporting Service Extension Error - The user or gorup name is not recognized

Hi,
I am currently installing AX Dynamics 2012 Reporting Service Extension on one of our machine. But this always fails during the installation with this error:
DynamicsSetupLog
Our current domain is MWSerp
An error occurred while adding users AxERP\qaproxy, AxERP\qaaos, MWSerp\qaproxy to the SQL Server Reporting Services DynamicsAXBrowser role in the folder dynamicsAX. The error is: The user or group name AxERP\qaproxy is not recognized.
The database was restored from our old Ax Deployment on a different domain - AxERP if you noticed on the error, 2 domains are present: AxERP (old domain) and MWSerp (our existing).
I find it peculiar that it is still adding old accounts from the old domain which is not existent. Tried looking for it on the registry or on the AX Dynamics User account but there are no entries on AxERP\qaaos and AxERP\qaproxy on it.
Do you have any clue on where AX Installer is picking up those information which needs to be added on the DynamicsAXBrowser? Tried stopping /starting the AOS Service and generating WCF. Also tried looking on registry but couldnt find it. How can I bypass
it so the Extension will be installed successfully. I also tried not deploying the reports, just the Extension only.
Regards,

I'd ask them here.

Error -603 (could not install extension) notification keeps popping up when I sign into CC even though I've installed the extension trough Extension Manager

Hi like my question says above, purchased an extension and installed it manually because it would not install automatically (error -603) but now I keep getting the same message/notification every time that I log into CC when starting the computer or if I log in manually after having logged out
Any help would be highly appreciated
Richard

Hi,
Would you let us know which add-on show 603 error. Can you find this add-on from https://creative.adobe.com/addons/my_addons (even it is a free add-on)?
And we need following informations:
* Your device (windows or Mac)
* How did you use Extension Manager to install that add-on? Where do you get the zxp file? Did you install that add-on from Adobe Exchange Panel?
1. Create a file called exmancoreliblog.yes and copy it to
Mac: /Users/<name>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log/
Windows: C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Log
2. Restart Extension Manager and reproduce your issue
3. Send us ExManCoreLibrary.log file in that log folder to [email protected]

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.

How can I force Time Machine to make a complete backup of my Hard Drive. I just installed a new external drive for Backup since my previous one failed. Now when I back up, Time Machine only backs up my data folder and the Users folder.
When I start a backup. Time Machine says "Oldest Backup: None; Latest Backup: None", so it seems like it should do a complete backup, but it only does a partial.

Hi I'd like to jump in here. Your app showed me this:

          Time Machine details may not be accurate.
          All volumes being backed up may not be listed.

          /private excluded from backup!
          /Library excluded from backup!
          /Applications excluded from backup!
Aside from the size of my backup drive, which I will increase at some point, I'd really like to have time machine backing up all system folders, especially Applications. How to I reset this hidden exclusions?
Thanks,

Installed extensions not showing windows extensions pull down?

I have the latest photoshop CC installed, & extensions manager for CC. I cannot for the life of me understand why after installing Russell Brown's paper textures, & watercolor assistant extensions, they show installed in the exchange panel as installed, but not in the drop down window>extentions !
I have ran the extensions manager program & it says they are enabled! but no where to be seen with the PS CC window>extensions !
Help!
....Alan

Hi Alan,
Thanks for this information. Can you also tell me whether or not such folders exist here?:
/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC/Plug-ins/Panels
I've just tried installing those particular products with that version of Photoshop, and this is where they end up.
If the folders aren't there, could you please enable logging as follows and send me the log files at fgregor at adobe dot com?
Create a file called 'ExManCoreLibLog.YES' and place it in the following location:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log/ExManCoreLibLog.YES
Then create a file named 'ExManLog.YES' and place it at:
/Applications/Adobe Extension Manager CC/Adobe Extension Manager CC.app/Contents/MacOS/ExManLog.YES
Both log files are generated and saved in the following location:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Extension Manager CC/Log
Many thanks,
Fraser

Transfer User Folder from Archive and Install

I installed Leopard today and did an Archive and Install. It preserved my old user folder, but I can't seem to make it a user. I tried copying it into the user folder and it is now in two places, but does not show up on my login page. All the information is there, I just don't know how to tell Leopard to make that folder a user. Any suggestions? Is this possible? or do I have to transfer all the data manually to a new user I create?
All of the data is on the same drive, so Migration Assistant does not appear to be helpful. Any support is appreciated

Create an account with that short name in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

How to install an extension for "all users"

I want to install a quantity of extensions for ALL users of FF on a PC running XP. There used to be a way of doing this but I have forgotten the method.
I know to save the .xpi file for each extension, and that there is some folder in a common area where these files are placed so that each User gets them installed the next time they run FF

See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Installing_extensions
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry

Really? Again? "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player"

My browser is firefox.
"The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player" is the incessant problem I've had many times updating Flash.
Come on guys, this is getting beyond ridiculous. The install always stops at 55% exactly, and never completes, leaving me to abandon Firefox for Chrome. I mucked about the last half a dozen times this happened during the update and just by sheer accident it managed to install, but it's been 2 hours of similar mucking about and I'm now getting nowhere.
This has been a persistent problem and affected many firefox users for years now, as I've seen both by my own experience and by searching google. Isn't there a way you all can provide a single SIMPLIFIED solution to this issue, either by coordinating with firefox or by providing a Firefox "unique" installer? Really it's too infuriating.
Anyway, before anyone asks, yes I'm logged on as the admin, and yes I've run the installer "as the admin" by right clicking. I've also gone ahead and completely uninstalled flash (and emptied the folders as requested in other threads here) and reinstalled, only to watch the progress bar halt at 55% as per usual and leave me clicking that stupid Chrome icon to have a working flash program.
Honestly folks, why, after years, does this continue to be a persistent issue? Fix it for the love of God! Are you lot the guys doing the ObamaCare website or what? We firefox folks are loyal to our browser, and installing new versions of flash on this browser is an unnecessary bloody pain in the you know what.
Sorry for the visible frustration, but if someone could please provide a universal working solution I wouldn't need to be on here whinging and moaning.

I have had the same problem, but found that doing it this way, eradicated the issue for me-
I am no computer expert and have experimented over time until i found what has worked for myself.
I hope this helps others to resolve this problem.
                                            If you are unsure, then please get somebody that has an idea what they are doing to prevent any accidental deletion of system files!!!!!!!
This is a Microsoft windows 7 PC, not Apple Mac.
slightly lengthy, but has stopped me pulling hairs out and stopped swearing at the computer.
Allowed for me to open e learning that needed adobe to continue with learning.
Firstly:
Download the current uninstallerUninstaller for Windows
Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
Restart Windows.
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (these directories are probably hidden away from sight)
    (tip: copy and paste ONE of these paths into the path/search bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (if you are using a 64-bit system)
which should then display a white page with a top line in bold letters saying something like:-
"Index of C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\" as shown below:
This INFORMATION is only needed for the location as to where these files are hidden so DO NOT !!!!! click on any of the folders within this browser, as they will download into the download folder and cause more problems.
THIS WILL SHOW WHERE THE FOLDERS ARE HIDING WITHIN THE COMPUTER ITSELF, BUT THEY ARE PROBABLY HIDDEN, UNTIL YOU UNHIDE THE FOLDER(S) THAT YOU NEED.
MINIMIZE THIS SCREEN TO ONE HALF OF THE SCREEN, AND HAVE THE FOLDER OF THE COMPUTER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN, SO THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW WITHOUT HAVING TO REMEMBER WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE DONE NEXT
Secondly:
Go onto DESKTOP
double click on computer
then double click on "C"
go to organize on top left corner under backwards arrow,
click on "folder and search options"
click on "view" tab,
look for heading "Hidden files and folders"
click on "show hidden files, folders, and drives"
click "Apply"
CLICK "OK"
Most folders will be a bright yellow folder, whereas the hidden folders that you have now made reappear will be a shaded yellow.
You should still have the operating system IDE (C) folder open.
Thirdly:
Look for:
Open folder "Windows"
Open Folder "System32"
Find Folder "Macromed"
Right Click on folder and look down for "Delete" left click which will then put the folder into the waste basket on the computer.
Empty the wastebin if it is on desktop by right clicking and choosing "Empty Recycle Bin"
close all explorer/Google pages.
then repeat the process as near top of page from Computer --> C Drive --> all the way to
Hidden files and folders
Forthly:
THEN !!!!!
click on "DON'T show hidden files, folders, or drives"
click "apply"
click "OK"
                                   THAT WILL HIDE THE SYSTEM FOLDERS
Fifthly:
CLOSE ANY FOLDER OR BROWSER ON THE COMPUTER SO THAT YOU ARE BACK TO THE DESKTOP.
FINALLY:
OPEN BROWSER
YOU SHOULD THEN BE ALLOWED TO INSTALL ADOBE WHEN OPENING A FRESH BROWSER

Backing up Users folder for Erase Install

Hi,
I need to do an Erase Install because of a disk error that Disk Utility cannot fix. I've backed up my iTunes Library and some other files, including Mac OS X combo update, to DVDs. My question is about the advice at this site:
[http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941] concerning backing up and restoring the Users folder manually. It recommends enabling and using root user for this and Step 5 says: "+Copy the User folder to your backup storage location."+ Does that mean I can drag the User folder to the backup DVD in root user mode? Or could I drag and drop the User folder without going into root user, and then after reinstallation restore the User folder the same way? I am the owner/administrator and there is one other user. I don't have an outside drive or cloning software and anyway, cloning a faulty hard drive might not help much.
Regards

Or could I drag and drop the User folder without going into root user, and then after reinstallation restore the User folder the same way?
Ahem, that +may work+ as I've done it, but then I've always had Root User enabled first thing after disabling Spotlight & Widgits!
So, I wouldn't count on it.
I'd get an external drive and DiskWarrior, which handles most of these problems with a breeze... asap!
