Installing JavaHelp and SDK

I installed JavaHelp and the Java 2 SDK Enterprise Edition. I have rebooted my PC. Everytime I try to run JavaHelp I get a message that I must install the lastest version of the Java 2 SDK.
Anyone have any ideas on what I did wrong?

You should install Java 2 SDK Standard Edition. Even Enterprise Edition need it!

Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Windows 8 doesn't install

Trying to install the package and well into the process I get an error message saying that my processor isn't supported and to contact my vendor.. I have a Lenovo U 410 LT with Win 8 Pro. It has an Intel Core i7 processor. I also tried the AMD version thinking they may have been swapped but it also does not install. How to get it installed? I really need the NFS in it.

Hi stewartmcadoo,
Welcome back to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that there is an error message displayed in your U410 Laptop while installing “Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Windows 8”, make sure you are installing this application as an Administrator User, if the issue is same even in this user account, I suggest you to download the package again and right click in the downloaded file select “Run as administrator” to get it installed in administrator mode, below is the link to download the SDK package:
Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Windows 8
Hope this helps!!!
Do post us back if the issue still persists.

How to install JavaHelp??

Dear all,
After compiling JavaHelp with RoboHelp for Word I get the
following message:
'Please install the latest version of JavaHelp'
I tried a lot of things but I didn't succeeded.
-copying the JH2.0 folder to many related dir's.
-copying the content of JH.2.0 (BIN/LIB) to related dir's.
-installing/reinstalling JDK, SDK, JRE...
-reÔnstalling robohelp
-attempt to define the necessary variables (PATH, JHHOME,...)
Can someone tell me how to install JavaHelp properly?
(PS I use word 2003)

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your quick response.
Your website is not new for me. I tried to solve the problem
by executing the 9 steps you describe:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/javahelp/javahelp.htm...
But unfortunately, without any luck.
I don't know what the problem is, I guess maybe something
with:
-The location of the JavaHelp BIN and LIB folder. There is no
executable, no installer? Where do I need to save these folders? Do
I need to add them to another folder?
-The environment variables: I created two new variables
(JHHOME and JAVA_HOME). I added both of them to the PATH variable
by adding something like: "%JHHOME%C:\SUN;" Is that correct?
-Installation of the SDK folder?
-Versions of the Java software? I installed: JDK1.6.0_03,
JH2.0, JRE1.6.0_03

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

New HD, HD cable, and re-installed OS, and several applications not cooperating: what to do?

MacBook Pro mid/late 2009, 13", 10.6.8
Hi, all.
Thanks in advance to all who can point me in the right direction!
Although this (may) sounds like a software issue at the outset, I have been directed to this (OSX 10.6) forum. [My original post is under the iLife/iPhoto forum and the thread is titled "iPhoto 8.1.2 doesn't work after reinstalled the OS 10.6.8?". If you are interested to see a couple brief comments of what others have had to say, check it out.]
In short, I have two applications (Mail and my precious iPhoto) that give a lengthy "Problem Report" when I attempt to open them, and two applications (Launchpad and Notes) that tell me I can't run the application with this version of mac OS. I have attempted to re-install Mail and iPhoto with no success and I have re-installed the OS (10.6 disc, 10.6.3 disc, and Software Update's 10.6.8) with no progress towards fixing Mail and iPhoto.
Here is the story:
iPhoto will not open and gives the error message ("Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X.......")--as does Mail. (On another note, Launchpad and Notes, when attempting to open, give a me a, "You can't use this version of the application Launchpad with this version of Mac OSX. You have 10.6.8. The app requires 10.7 or later." Although, I do not use Launchpad or Notes, it would be nice to have all applications working again.)
I have tried reinstalling iPhoto (carefully, i.e., removing the old app and pkg files) with no luck. Note that in this case, I am using an iLife disc.
Hardware story: My computer had a plethora or issues several months ago--eventually not booting--I left it alone for a couple months while using a friend's computer in the interim. Eventually I had my laptop diagnosed as a having a bad HD. I replaced it myself (upgrading to a Western Digital, 7200 rpm and 750 GB). I had to troubleshoot when it came time to erase the new HD and ended up replacing the HD cable--then my computer was up and running (thus, although I have not checked experimentally, my old HD may actually have been OK all along).
Software story: I reinstalled my OS (10.6 from disc, 10.6.3 from disc, 10.6.8 using Software Update). Then restored using the most recent Time Machine backup prior to my computer initially having "a plethora of problems"--TM backup from external HD. If you've read all this, you are now caught up. My computer boots like a charm, Firefox works, Microsoft Office applications work, even iTunes works. But my precious iPhoto, Mail, and a couple other applications will not cooperate.
Here is the "Problem Report for iPhoto" minus all of the lines below "Binary images" (Note that the Problem Report when attempting to open Mail is more or less the same, e.g., the Dyld Error Message is the same):

System running ridiculously slow after installing Yosemite and Adobe CC

SInce installing Yosemite and upgrading to Adobe CC for all my design apps, my computer runs soooooo slow. Since then, I've run all the disk utility stuff and upgraded from 8gb to 12gb of RAM. That about ends my knowledge. I ran EntreCheck with report below. Any insight on what to do would be HUGELY appreciated.

Thanks so much for the detailed instructions...but they didn't seem to work.
At this point I've erased the drive and reinstalled Yosemite. I haven't brought any files or applications back in yet, but things are still moving really slow. Here's my latest EntreCheck report. Any insight would be very helpful.

How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

What are you naming the folder?
Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
Do not get this:
You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

6/10/14 - Release - AIR 14 Runtime and SDK

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of AIR is available for immediate download.
This update includes the following fixes and security updates:
Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-14)
New Features:
Anisotropic Filtering
This new texture sampling filter can enhance the image quality of textures on surfaces that are at oblique viewing angles. There are two ways to enable this feature:
In AGAL, set one of the values – "anisotropic2x", "anisotropic4x", "anisotropic8x", or "anisotropic16x" to the filter option in the sampling instructions.
Call Context3D::setSamplerStateAt with the 3rd parameter "filter" being one of the values defined in Context3DTextureFilter - "ANISOTROPIC2X", "ANISOTROPIC4X", "ANISOTROPIC8X", or "ANISOTROPIC16X"
New Stage3D "Standard" Profile
Developers can now request this high level profile when creating Context3D. Three new features are available in this profile:
Multiple render target allows to you to draw geometry to multiple outputs (up to 4) during one drawing
Floating point texture allows you to create Texture, RectangleTexture and CubeTuxture with the RGBA16F folder.
AGAL v2 contains these improvements:
Increased register size
Partial derivative instructions
Fragment depth output
Conditional forward jump
Intel x86 Android Support
As announced in our Flash Runtime blog, we're adding support for Intel x86 Android to AIR. An ADT command line option (-arch) has been added to allow packaging apps with Android x86 support. Please note that currently only captive runtime packaging is allowed for x86 architecture. This means all APK targets (apk, apk-debug and apk-captive-runtime) will forcibly be packaged with captive runtime. Feedback on this approach is encouraged.
Sample APK packaging command for x86 devices:
adt -package -target ( apk | apk-captive-runtime ) -arch x86 -storetype pkcs12 -keystore abc.p12 HelloWorld.apk HelloWorld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf
adt -package -target apk-debug -arch x86 -storetype pkcs12 -keystore abc.p12 HelloWorld.apk HelloWorld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf
Note that -arch is optional. If not specified, armv7 is assumed.
Packaging for x86 architecture in Flash Builder:
Open the debug/run configurations of the project in Flash Builder and click on "Customize launch.." button. Add a new parameter "-arch" with value "x86" and place it before "-storetype". Click "OK" to apply changes.
Except for RTMPE and DRM, all other features and capabilities are completely functional and supported. Native extensions written for x86 platforms can also be packaged and used by an app for x86 devices. To support this, a new ANE platform 'Android-x86' is now available.
The following example highlights the usage of the same -
<extension xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/14.0>
<id>com.adobe.sample.ane</id>
<versionNumber>1.0</versionNumber>
<platforms>
<platform name="Android-ARM">
<applicationDeployment>
<nativeLibrary>sample.jar</nativeLibrary>
<initializer>com.example.ane.Extension</initializer>
<finalizer>com.example.ane.Extension</finalizer>
</applicationDeployment>
</platform>
<platform name="Android-x86">
<applicationDeployment>
<nativeLibrary>sample.jar</nativeLibrary>
<initializer>com.example.ane.Extension</initializer>
<finalizer>com.example.ane.Extension</finalizer>
</applicationDeployment>
</platform>
</platforms>
</extension>
New packaging command for ANE:
adt -package -target ane Sample.ane extension.xml -swc Sample.swc -platform Android-ARM -C Android-ARM/ . -platform Android-x86 -C Android-x86/ .
Improved Packaging Engine - iOS
Based on the feedback received from the developer community, tons of improvements and bug fixes have been made in the new packaging engine for iOS. We encourage developers to report issues to http://bugbase.adobe.com, to ensure that we are able to continue to improve the packager in future releases.
To enable this feature, please use "-useLegacyAOT no" in the ADT command, before the signing options. As of now, this feature is not available within Flash Pro but it can still be used with Flash builder by adding the parameter -useLegacyAOT under the "Customize launch" option.
Here is an example ADT command for compiling an applications using “-useLegacyAOT no":
adt -package -target ( ipa-test | ipa-debug | ipa-app-store | ipa-ad-hoc) -useLegacyAOT no -provisioning-profile -keystore -storetype pkcs12 -storepass xxxx HelloWorld.ipa Helloworld-app.xml HelloWorld.swf

AIR Gamepad
AIR Gamepad feature enables the app developers to provide a second screen on Android mobile devices for the Flash based browser games. AIR Gamepad API enables Flash based browser apps to connect to a paired Android device running the AIR Runtime app and therefore allowing the Android devices to be used as game controllers or second-screen interfaces.
Key functionality of this feature:
Gesture eventsTouch events
Accelerometer events
Vibration
Customize the AIR gamepad screen by applying your own skins
To learn more about the AIR Gamepad APIs, please refer to the documentation found here.

Instal Adobe Portfolio SDK

Hello,
I would like to create some portfolios for Acrobat XI, however I don't understand the following:
'Installing the Portfolio SDK
Before you can begin developing your Navigator, install the Acrobat Portfolios SDK, install the acroFlashDebug.api plugin into Acrobat, and install the Navigator plug-ins for Flash Builder. The Acrobat Portfolio SDK was developed based on Flash Builder 4.01 and the Flex 4.1 SDK. All instructions in the Acrobat Portfolio SDK are based on Flash Builder 4.01. I am using Flash Builder 4.5 and other than a few very minor issues, everything works as expected but because the directory structure of Flash Builder 4.5 is slightly different from Flash Builder 4.01, installation is slightly different.'
A more detailed installation guide would be appreciated. I've already downloaded the sdk zip file. As to the other components I have no idea. Anyway, I don't know how to instal anything. Shame on me. Much obliged if you can help.
Best regards,
Rodrigo.

PDF Portfolios have an essential failing. In order to display the fancy preview that makes them appealing, the require Flash Player. If you have Acrobat 9 or X, or Reader 9 or X for Macintosh or Windows, the Flash Player is embedded, and they usually view the way expected.
However, there are many situations where the PDF Portfolio will not display correctly: (1) You have an older version of Acrobat or Reader; (2) You have Acrobat X or Reader X installed and Flash Player is not installed on your computer (no longer is there an built-in Flash player); or (3) you're viewing the PDF Portfolio on an iPad or iPhone because iOS devices have never supported Flash Player.
In some of these situations, you may see a message that you saw: "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." But that is a very misleading message.
In Adobe Reader for iOS just displays the PDFs that included in the PDF Portfolio.
I believe that in the future PDF Portfolios will probably fade away for those reasons.

11/11/2014 - Release - AIR 15 Runtime and SDK

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of AIR is available for immediate download. This release includes bug and security fixes. In addition, the AIR SDK has been updated with important iOS 8 compatibility updates.
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 15. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
Stage3D “Standard” profile support for iOS and Android
In the Flash Runtime 14 release we introduced the Stage3D “Standard” profile which provided many advanced 3D features. At that time, the “Standard” profile was only available on desktop platforms. In the AIR 15 release we are extending this coverage to mobile platforms. If a device supports OpenGL ES3, it can successfully request the “Standard” profile and use the same advanced features as the desktop platform.
For additional information, please see our Stage3D Standard Profile article.
Relaxing Stage3D Render Target Clear
In previous versions of Stage3D, after switching the render texture through Context3D::setRenderToTexture, you were required to clear it before drawing. In this release, we're removing this limitation and optimizing the use of render textures. This change will allow you to further optimize and reuse depth and stencil buffers between different render textures.
For additional information, please see Relaxing Render Target Clear Operation in Stage 3D.
StageText.drawViewPortToBitmapData now supports Retina displays
Currently, AIR will allow a bitmap with the same width/height of the StageText object to be passed into drawViewPortToBitmapData. While fine for standard resolution displays, this is not sufficient for Apple's Retina HiDPI displays. Based on customer feedback, we've altered the drawViewPortToBitmapData method to accept a doubled size BitmapData with StageText's view port on a Mac Retina display, and then draw a HiDPI image from the view port.
Improved Packaging Engine is now default - iOS
Starting AIR 15, new improved IPA packaging engine is now the default packaging mode when packaging for AOT targets ipa-app-store, ipa-test, ipa-ad-hoc and ipa-debug. If you encounter any packaging or runtime issues, please report at http://bugbase.adobe.com. To use older packaging mode, use "-useLegacyAOT yes" in the ADT command, before the signing options. To learn more about the feature, please read Faster Compiling with AIR for iOS
AIR Gamepad Enhancements
AIR Gamepad feature enables the app developers to provide a second screen on Android mobile devices for the Flash based browser games. AIR Gamepad API enables Flash based browser apps to connect to a paired Android device running the AIR Runtime app and therefore allowing the Android devices to be used as game controllers or second-screen interfaces. Following enhancements are available starting AIR 15.
Multiplayer Support
Gyroscope Events
Magnetometer Events
Applying skin as AIR gamepad screen
To learn more about the feature and usage guidelines, please see Android Devices with AIR as Gamepads
AIR Cross Promotion
Adobe AIR 15 now supports cross promotion of AIR games for mobile devices. Cross promotions can be effective in saving some amount of advertising cost. With the right partnership, you gain access to a wider customer base with a demographic similar to that of your application. This cross promotion is free and works on a credit system. All you need is to earn enough credit points by promoting other AIR games to begin your own promotion campaign. The AIR SDK offers the new AdViewer API for promotion campaigns as a SWC, it provides functions to load and show in-game advertisements. You earn credit points for promoting AIR games by other developers based on ad impressions and clicks.
To learn more about the feature and usage guidelines, please see Cross Promotion of AIR Games for Mobile.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the response!
I started pointing to SDKs back when ANE support first came out and it was required to point to the OS5.1 sdk in order to get ANEs to work.
I had been specifying the sdk ever since, since it had been working for me, even though it was no longer needed.
I just tried removing that and letting AIR take care of using the right SDK and it seems to have solved my screen rotation issue!
Thank you so much for that!
I do have a lot of splash screens. Again I think this was left over from when I started using AIR back in 2011. At that point in order to get the splash screens working correctly I ended up having to add all the different versions. However, I'd love to get rid of most of them as they bloat my app size. I'll try removing most of them and do some testing to ensure everything works fine now without them. Although I suspect I should still also need the Default@2x~ipad.png
Thanks again for your help!
Craig.

1/13/2015 - Release - AIR 16 Runtime and SDK

Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of AIR is available for immediate download. In addition to important bug and security fixes AIR 16 now contains support for iOS 64-bit applications along with significant Stage3D improvements!
Below are some of the key features and benefits of AIR 16. Please see our release notes for full details.
New Features:
iOS 64-bit Support
As many of you are aware, Apple has recently changed their iOS requirements to enforce 64-bit compatibility. We’re pleased to announce that the AIR 16 SDK can now be used to generate universal IPA binaries, which will run on both 32bit and 64bit iOS devices. Going forward, every IPA generated using AIR SDK 16 and above will be a universal binary and there is no change required in the packaging commands for this support.
Please note that support for creating universal IPA binaries will only be available in the new compiler. The legacy compiler is not (and will not be) compatible with iOS 64-bit. Because of this, it will be removed with version 16 of the AIR SDK. To ensure that Adobe as well as third party tools are able to work with this AIR SDK, the -useLegacyAOT option will continue to exist, but will be internally mapped to the new compiler.
With this change, any ANE that gets packaged in the application should contain the universal native libraries. Failing to do so will result in “Apple App Store allows only universal applications. <binary name> is not a universal binary. Please change build settings in Xcode project to "Standard Architecture" to create universal library/framework” error while packaging the ipa.
To learn more about the improved packaging engine, please read Faster Compiling with AIR for iOS.
If you encounter packaging or runtime issues, please report them to us over at http://bugbase.adobe.com. Please provide detailed steps to reproduce along with sample projects. If you'd like to keep your code private, please feel free to email attachments along with your bug number to [email protected].
Stage3D Wireframe Mode Support
To help designers and developers create robust and efficient 3D content, we've added Wireframe support into AIR desktop. This option can be changed by setting Context3D's setFillMode() to "wireframe" or "solid".
Stage3D - Standard Constrained Profile
In version 14 of the Runtime we added the new Standard profile to desktop systems. In Version 15 we expanded that to mobile devices in AIR. In Flash Player 16 we've added a new Standard Constrained profile. Like Baseline Constrained, Standard Constrained targets older and lower powered GPUs on both desktop and mobile devices. While Standard profile reached ~21% of iOS devices, Standard Constrained can now reach more than 85%. Developers can access this by using the new STANDARD_CONSTRAINED constant in Context3DProfile. The chart below breaks down the differences between the different profiles that are available.
Fixed Issues:
[iPhone 6 Plus] Wrong screen size and dpi is returned through the runtime APIs. (3829474)
[iOS] [New fast packager] Some applications compiled with older ActionScript compiler won’t work with new fast packaging engine but when rebuild again with latest ActionScript compiler apps work fine. (3837665)

Sometimes the release version has a later build number than the last beta we received, which in a way can be even worse than if the build is the same. The thing that has caused some confusion is that a few posts here have been answered with "we've fixed that and it will be in the next build", and the next build turned out to be the same as the previous build.
So, I think the truth is that those things are fixed in the next build that appears on labs, and the release one doesn't count as a new beta build. I don't know when the next labs build will be.

HELP Installing the Flex SDK?????Step #4

I am using windows vista (32) and I just downloaded and
installed the newest jdk to program files.
Now, I have no clue how to define java_home/bin directory in
the system path. *Install the Flex SDK - Step #4
Can someone give me step by step details how to this? I've
never used Java or Flex.

Right now (automatically, without tampering with anything),
the system variable I have is:
Variable: Path
Value:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\
The instructions I am using are at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/3/releasenotes_flex3_sdk.html#installat ion
I need to get this right, fast, without screwing up my
system. I am nervous about that.
Please continue to support me on Step #4
