Installing multiple applications through one application (or package)

I am trying to make an application (or package) that will install multiple programs through the one application.  Right now the only way I can see to do this, is to force an application to install another one as a requirement.  The easiest example
I can give is iTunes.  We customize the iTunes install to lock down features and not install every application that isn't needed in our environment.  So technically iTunes actually installs 5 different programs.  I need to be able to select
iTunes during an OSD deployment using the MDT UDI Wizard, and it will install iTunes and anything needed for it to work correctly.  
I am just using iTunes as an easy example to explain.  We have other programs that work in a similar way, or require other applications to be install.  My main reason for this request is we have standard engineering applications, but I don't want
them installed on all computers, I want just one option that will in turn install all the standard applications.  
I am guessing what I will have to do, is make one install that requires the previous application and installs it, and do that for each application, but this doesn't seam like a good solution as it means I will have to have a separate application only for
this OSD problem.
Is there an easier/correct way of doing this, mainly for OSD?
Thank you,

Dependencies only forces the box to be checked, it doesn't install it in the correct order.  We are having another problem in that area.  We have an Office add-on that in SC requires a version of office to be installed.  We can't set the dependency
for that add-on since we have multiple versions of office, but even if a version of office is selected, it doesn't try to install it before it tries to install the add-on.  So the add-on install ends up failing since office isn't installed when it tries
to install, even though it installs afterwards.  
This is why I am not considering using dependencies since I can't get it to install in the correct order.  If there is a way to enforce the when something gets installed, then yes, this would work for me.

  • Using multiple agents through one webgate

    How can we use multiple agents through one webgate.when i copy a file OBACESSCLIENT.XML its gets overwritten what should i do.

    This is trivial to do - just don't use Finder aliases.
    Aliases are Mac OS X-specific and UNIX-based applications like apache don't know how to deal with them.
    The solution is to use symbolic links, the original UNIX equivalent of the Mac's aliases.:
    <pre class=command>$ cd /Library/WebServer/Documents
    $ ln -s /Volumes/User1Drive user1
    $ ln -s /Volumes/User2Drive user2
    ...</pre>
    etc.
    This will create a symbolic link from user1 to /Volumes/User1Drive. Now when anyone hits /user1 on your server they'll given the content on /Volume/User1Drive.
    There is an alternative solution which doesn't use directory paths, but hostnames. It's possible to configure Apache's virtual hosts so that 'http://user1.server.com/' is based on /Volumes/User1Drive while 'http://user2.server.com/' is based on /Volumes/User2Drive, and so on.
    This takes some configuration in DNS to point all the hostnames to the same IP address, but it's another option that can scale without the need of more IP addresses.

  • Why is my through put better with two applications than one application?

    I have two functions, acquire data and write date to database.  If I divide these two functions into two applications run under one project, my through put is 100 Hz; but if put both function into one application my through put 10 Hz.

  • Same Windows Update installed multiple times through SCCM 2012

    Hello There,
    I am using SCCM 2012 to deploy critical and important updates through Automatic Deployment Rule it works fine but i have noticed recently on the client machines i see the same KB / update is installed multiple times.
    Why would this happen? Please suggest.

    Hi,
    My computer also have duplicated updates installed. I uninstalled one of them that needed a restart. Then uninstall another one after restart, it hadn't asked for restart and the uninstall process was very fast. So I think the update only installed one time,
    the others are duplicated records.

  • How to process multiple messages through one url over https

    Hi,
    My scenario is HTTP to IDOC, and the vendor will send different messages through one url to SAP system.
    is there any way to achieve this?
    Thanks
    Jessica

    can the Vendor at least pass URL parameters ? Normally, when you have several messages interfaces, the HTTP sender system should distinguish them with the URL parameters (party, namespace, interface). By that, XI then knows how to handle those messages, and can start its receiver determination pipeline. See SAP Help for HTTP sender channel:
    Queries entering the plain HTTP adapter must have the following syntax:
    http://<hostname:port>/<path>?<query-string>
    The query string contains the following data:
    ●      Sender namespace ?namespace=<namespace>
    ●      Sender interface &interface=<interface>
    These details define the sender interface.
    ●      Sender service &service=<service>
    Specifies the sender service.
    ●      Sender party (optional) &party=<party>

  • Multiple instances of one application in a single vm

    Hi
    At work we use a database client called SAP, for timesheet, maintenance logs etc.
    To access this application (SAP) we need to use computers on a domain, which we are charged $6000 yearly per. computer.
    To reduce this cost, we want to set up a server running windows server 2012 (for centralized storage, web applications etc), with a virtual machine running windows 7, that is part of the domain, and having access to SAP.
    What we then would need is the ability to remotely log on to the virtual machine and run SAP, easy enough..
    But the problem is that we are 15 people who need to do this at the same time.
    Is this possible? And is Hyper-V the right way to go?
    The server will be running with two network adapters, one for the office network, and one for the virtual machine which connects it with the domain.

    Hyper-V won't allow you to get out of paying your per use licensing.
    You will need 15 licenses of Windows installed in Hyper-V as well as SAP.

  • Using Multiple Schemas in one Application

    Is it possible to have multiple schemas from the same database in one applicaiton. In APEX we have added multiple schemas to our workspace but when we create a form or report only one schema seems to be available.

    Miroslav wrote:
    Your application has a parsing schema. All other schemas have to give appropriate grants to it to be available to your application.Miroslay is right, if you use the INTERNAL workspace to add additional schemas to a workspace, APEX does not take care of any grants between the schemas. APEX can not know how or if you might want the schemas to interact with one another. All this does is gives the workspace the ability to utilise that schema, such as adding it as parsing schema to any applications in the workspace.
    You can switch to the secondary schema in SQL Workshop and add grants from there, e.g.
    grant select on SECONDARY_SCHEMA.MY_TABLE to PARSING_SCHEMA;

  • Multiple copies of one Application on different hard drives?

    Hi guys --
    Ok - I have 2x Hard drives in my G5 (2 physical HD's, not 2 partitions of the same HD). On one HD I have 10.5 Leopard and on the other I have 10.4 Tiger.
    My question is this: I have Adobe CS3 installed on my Tiger HD. But when I'm in Leopard, the applications won't start when I try to open them on the Tiger HD. So it looks like I need to install new copies on the Leopard drive right? Would this be ok? To have the CS3 suite twice on the same computer (albeit 2 seperate HDs)?. WOuld you recommend I uninstall them on the Tiger drive first? I'm hoping I wouldnt have to cos it's always a little bit of a pain to uninstall Adobe stuff with all the components etc.
    Anybody else have a similar set up? Thanks for any advice!

    It's probably all those components that are causing problems. Some applications have everything in one spot and you're fine. Others (like Adobe) put things everywhere and if they aren't exactly where Adobe expects them to be then the application doesn't work. You should, however, be fine with making a second installation of the application.

  • Multiple themes in one application

    Hello,
    When the application was first created, it used the theme "Blue" (2 level of tabs).
    The application has 4 parent tabs. I have a requirement now to have a sidebar ONLY for one of those 4 parent tabs. I figured that I need to copy the current theme I have (Blue) and edit the new one so it allows 2 level of tabs with a sidebar. I was able to create the new theme, but I am not sure how I can edit certain pages to use the new theme while the rest uses the original theme. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Every theme has 2 two level tab templates. One with a sidebar and one without you should just be able to switch your templates at the page level to get what you are looking for.

  • Multiple databases in one application with locations unknown

    Hello everyone,
    I am developing an application that uses several databases, one database for each user. The users, and the parameters for their database connections, are read from a configuration-file at runtime.
    I would like to use JPA to access the databases. This is where the problem arises, because if I try to get an EntityManagerFactory, I have to specify a name; I just use <username>-pu. This causes a PersistenceException because "No Persistence provider for EntityManager named maarten-pu". Which is correct, because my persistence.xml contains no persistence units.
    I cannot define all persistence units beforehand, because at that time the configuration-file is not yet read.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Kind regards, and thanks in advance,

  • Oracle XE: Multiple Developers for one Application

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have more than one developer work on a single application? Couldn't find a way to do it in XE but I know I've done it in HTML DB 1.6 in the past.
    Cheers,
    Peter
    P.S. Sorry, I know this should go in the XE forum but it's just too well hidden.

    Peter - No, in XE, the workspace concept is not visible and you login to the database as a particular schema in which you can develop applications on that schema and there are no separate developer accounts from that schema.

  • Installing multiple copies of one printer (HP1102W) on the same computer

    OK here is the setup, we have an activity that needs, useing multiple computers, to support 2 different locations with the same physical printer, in this case the HP1102w.
    Our computers are running Window 7.
    We will move the printer between the locations for use on different days of the week and want to avoid reinstalling the print driver each time we change sites.
    Each site has its own wireless network with the same basic wireless network setup (ip address etc , open network). Fortunately the same IP subnet 192.168.1.0 but with different SSIDs.
    We have setup the printer at both locations but we have to make configuration changes to the setup to support the different SSIDs which is a pain that is subject to errors.
    What I am thinking of doing is to install the printer at each location using the smart install. This will create two different instances of the printer on each machine.  Is this possible or will they get in each others way?
    Can I do this and then just change which printer is the default machine at that site? 
    Will this work???
    If not what alternatives do I  have.
    Thanks
    Marty K

    I think theoretically that will work.  You will just have to reconnect the printer to the router each time.

  • Trying to install multiple All in One Printers on new laptop

    Got a new HP Envy laptop running Windows 8.1.   Replacing old HP running XP.  Trying to install two HP All in One printers on my home wireless network  HP 6500 E709n and a HP 7410.  I am stuck in an infinte loop using the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  I load up one printer Driver using the downloads on the website.  When I go to load the other printer, the system won't let me continue until I uninstall the previous printer driver and accessy software.
    Anyone know how to get around it?

    Hello again,
    Thanks for getting back to me!
    Next, I would suggest uninstalling all of the printer software on your computer, performing a clean boot and then reinstalling the OJ 7410 first and then the OJ 6500. Here are the steps and links in order for you.

  • Transmitting multiple strings through one UDP port

    I'm using UDP protocal to read information transmitted by another program through OSC. The only problem is, the information being transmitted by the program using OSC all comes through the same port, So the UDP in labview gets it all at the same time, and can only display one of the sets of information it is receiving. OSC does use a different address for each set of information, but I can't enter the address in Labview. It's not an IP address, an example would be "OSC.test.string.1". But I have no way of entering that into the UDP open.vi . When I enter a port, it selects the OSC address for me. If I was using "OSC.test.string.1" and "OSC.test.string.2" to send information over the same port, the UDP Read.vi in labview would only pick up whatever data is coming through the first one. Does anyone know a way to either seperate these addresses, or enter the address myself?

    As Ravens already pointed out, your post is too cryptic to make any sense.
    If you use acronyms with many meanings, define them!
    Are you talking about UDP ports?
    When you say "address" do you mean "IP address" or something else? Could it just be a message tag?
    What is "it" in "... it selects the OSC address for me..."
    How do you display the UDP strings received? If you use only a simple string indicator, you would only see the latest. If you want to display several received strings in rapid succession, you need to keep parsing and appending the new data to the old data and keep it in a shift register. Or you could use e.g. three indicators and update each according to the characteristics of the incoming string.
