Invoking Desktop Apps from a Browser

          I know it has been asked before, but can you invoke a known app on a desktop from
          within a web app? Can you change the security policy to enable the invocation
          of a specific desktop app?
          This would be an intranet app used to support the user's business needs.
          Thanks.
          

First, we'll assume that you're writing an LOB app, not an app intended for Store distribution, as you are trying to use a brokered component.
The use of a brokered component is the correct thing for you to do in this case, as neither WMI nor Process.Start are available to regular Windows Store apps.  It's just a matter of proper creation of the brokered windows component for you to get going.
My buddy Prashant wrote a cheatsheet for Brokered Components. I know it works as I've followed it myself:

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined
objects and unknown namespaces.

  • Invoking desktop app from Windows store App

    Hi,
    I have a Windows form desktop application developed using c#. I want to make use of the live tile feature available in WinRT apps (especially for Windows 10). The data in the live tile is to be fetched using WMI queries (Win32_LogicalDisk).
    How do I accomplish this? I don't want to rewrite the entire app. Live tiles should update on the background and on clicking the tile, my desktop app exe needs to be invoked. Is it possible to fetch WMI data and invoke exe from Windows Store apps?
    I tried using Brokered Windows Runtime components as given in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dmx/archive/2014/04/30/how-to-trigger-a-desktop-process-from-windows-store-apps-the-easy-way-using-the-brand-new-visual-studio-templates.aspx . But could not get it to
    work as I get a 'TypeLoadException'.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to launch an Air desktop app from a second Air desktop app?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to launch an Air desktop app from a second Air desktop app?
    I'm using Air 4 with Flash CS 6 on Windows.
    Thanks

    According to Adobe documentation, AIR doesn't allow you to launch one application using another on desktop. The best bet that I could find at the moment would be to use the File.openWithDefaultAppilcation() function and open a file(like a .doc or .txt file) that has an AIR app set as the default application to use for X filetype. Unfortunately, launching app(.exe, .app, etc) files directly is not allowed. Probably for safety/security reasons. You might be able to get around that with a Native Extension though. Below is a link to the File.openWithDefaultApplication() method which includes a table of all the filetypes not allowed. Tried messing around with some ways around it, but the best I could do was open a new Finder window(testing on a Mac) and highlight the file. The code below assumes that both AIR apps are installed in the same app directory. Not sure how it would work on Windows but the result might be the same. For Mac, no special characters or anything was needed even though the app I was trying to open had spaces in the filename.
    var filePath:String = "file://" + File.applicationDirectory.nativePath + "/App to highlight.app";
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(filePath));

  • App Store displays "too many HTTP redirects" after I click a link of the app from a browser. Help.

    when i click a link to the app on the app store the browser closes and opens up the app store. after 3-5 seconds, a message pops up saying "too many HTTP redirects"
    i tried to reset all settings, still the same error
    i tried changing DNS servers, still the same error
    i tried changing security encryption on the wifi router, still the same error
    i tried to free up available space to 3GB, still the same error
    i restarted, still the same error
    This error occured 2 days after i updated the device to 6.1
    the app store alone works fine, but when i clicked a link of the app from a browser, the app store displays this.
    I'm using iPad Mini 16GB wifi
    can someone help us eliminate this annoyance (or bug, i might call it)

    It may be some apps on your iphone that is causing that.
    Nope. The security on iOS means that no app can interfere with the OS or any other app. An app may crash, but it cannot cause any other app to crash or misbehave, and no app can affect system functionality, like networking.
    you could download a virus protecter from the app store if you can acseess the app store.
    Nope. The same security in iOS means that not only are there no viruses (or malware of any other kind) for iOS, but also that anti-virus apps are not possible. They would not be able to scan anything except themselves, which would be singularly unuseful. Thus, there are not actually any true anti-virus apps in the App Store. There are a couple that can scan your e-mail for you, but that is achieved through connecting to the IMAP server where your e-mail is stored. They cannot scan the phone.

  • Does Apple still use a checksum hash (or take other steps) to prevent Songbird media player desktop app from opening?

    Hello. I've downloaded and installed Songbird for Mac desktop three times. When I try to open the application its icon briefly appears in the dock, but after several seconds it crashes without opening. My MacPro meets and exceeds the listed software requirements. Any ideas why the app won't open? According to http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/what-might-end-apples-open-source-pass/313 0, "For those unfamiliar with the story, Apple began "protecting" its iTunesDB file (necessary for syncing) with a checksum hash in September 2007. This kept people from using other music programs like Winamp and Songbird, alongside iPod files." That's ancient history now, and Apple does even allow the Songbird mobile app for iPhone. There is no Songbird app in the App Store though, and attempts to open the desktop app file downloaded from Songbird's site result in the problem described.
    Possibility: I have a large iTunes music library - 16K+ songs - would Songbird refuse to open due to potential stability issues with importing a library that size?
    Found a similar issue on the Songbird support boards here: https://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/...
    Based on that info I opened Terminal and entered
    /Applications/Songbird.app/Contents/MacOS/songbird -ProfileManager &
    This opened a small dialog box that allowed me to specify a default user (but would not allow the default user name to be re-named). I was then able to go through several windows and opt to have my iTunes library imported, to have several Songbird apps imported, and to not provide user details. The window then closed, and the Songbird icon again disappeared from the dock. Crash.
    Meanwhile, the Terminal app now displayed
    this.addToLibrary is null in SBPlaylistCommand_AddToLibrary ?!!
    I then entered the original command again, opened the default user box again, but then the default user dialog box closed and again the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
    Attempted to open Songbird from the Applications folder with the same result: the default user box appeared briefly, then closed and the Songbird icon disappeared from the dock. Crash.
    Any other ideas that might help this to open, or does Apple feel threatened and is therefore preventing users from accessing the app?

    In Theory wrote:

    Songbird working exactly how it should here under Mountain Lion 10.8.2  Maybe try uninstalling as per manufacturer's instructions and reinstalling most recent version. I would be hesitant to muck around with a non responsive program as such with Terminal before exploring other Troubleshooting Paths such as other Third Party conflicts. Have you installed any anti-virus software? MacKeeper, Little Snitch or similar? Can you post a crash report. That may help further.But definately working as it should here.

  • Installing Desktop Apps from Creative Cloud | Learn Creative Cloud | Adobe TV

    See how easy it is to download and install the Adobe Application Manager and all of the desktop applications that come with Creative Cloud membership.
    http://adobe.ly/LAfHVh

    I think there's a way to change the default directory. I'm not a admin or anything, just a normal user who works with motion graphics.
        In the AAM window, your full name (that appears to be grayed out) of your account will appear at the upper-left corner. Click on that and then click Preferences.
         I think from there, you can change the default location to wherever you want it to go, but it might be like you said - it isn't made exactly the way to use for a specific program like making a folder for each different software on each seperate partition. That procedure would be having to go change the default directory every time installing a new program...
         I don't mind too many safety notification pop-ups just as long its communicating with me. I worry that if I ended up with a virus and had to resort to using Safe-Mode and then System Restore on a PC, then all of my apps will be synced prior to the restore date file it must load will be removed without clearing the initial installation data which means that the AAM will still appear that my apps are "up to date" when they're not even installed on my PC!!

  • Downloading and installing desktop apps from Creative Cloud

    This movie gives you a quick overview of how to download and install the Adobe Application Manager and all of the desktop applications that come with Creative Cloud membership.
    Watch the movie (02:17 min.)

    Completely agreed TristanSF.
    Also, this page, https://creative.adobe.com/#apps, has a Download link for Gaming Tools that only gives an error and no download. I asked the support team via chat and I was told that he would recommend the phone service to me.
    Wich I called and I was told they dont know at this time.
    The download link takes you to this page: http://www.adobe.com/go/GamingTools
    That link forrwards you to: https://www.adobe.com/products/gaming/tools.html
    That link opens up a blank page and my web browser just tells me "Error on page" and leaves an Exclamation point inside of a triangle at the bottom left.
    No download starts or stops, no activex prompt, nothing.

  • Run multiple apps from one browser windows with 9ias r2

    We are running 9ias r1 with forms 6i as our production server. Users are able to access one html page with multiple links to their applications. They can run one application, keep it running, navigate back to the html page and run a second application.
    We are testing 9ias r2 with forms 9i, but when users try to navigate back to the html page to run the second application the first application closes.
    Is there a way to have 9ias r2 work the same as r1 and allow users to run multiple application from one html page?

  • Invoke Java app from Oracle DB?

    Hi
    I wrote simple Java app I would like to deploy this class to Oracle DB server and to schedule execution, for example, every hour. I wonder how to do that.
    Nenad

    Nenad,
    Although I have not done something like this myself, allow me to suggest the following resources that may help you (assuming you haven't already looked at them).
    Excuse me, but I saw no mention of which Oracle database version you are using, so I have assumed it is 9i.
    For loading java classes into the database, please refer to chapter 2 (Loading Java Classes) of the Java Stored Procedures Developer's Guide.
    For scheduling periodic execution, use the DBMS_JOB (PL/SQL) package.
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • Invoking ALBPM Process from ALSB

    Hi,
    I am presently trying to invoke ALBPM(Oracle BPM) process by registering my process as webservice to ALSB (OSB). I am however not able to trigger my processes from ALSB. I have posted the steps followed. Please help me in figuring out the missing piece
    a) Registered the ALBPM Process WSDL in ALSB by importing manually
    b) Created a Business Service based on the WSDL
    c) Created a Proxy Service based on the WSDL.
    Invoked the "startSession" operation to generate the sessionID using ALSB test browser. ALSB receives an error response.
    I was however able to generate my sessionID and also invoke my processes successfully by using any generic Soap client.
    Please do help me in figuring out my missing steps.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Rudraksh

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. I am getting an echo of the request as the response. I am just trying to invoke my "startSession" from test browser . I am presently using the default proxy services to trigger the ALBPM webservices. I haven't configured any message flows.I have posted the invocation trace response below.
    Invocation trace ::
    Routed Service
    No Service has been invoked, the request is echoed.
    I also happened to try out the option of registering the endpoint to connect to OSB from with OBPM. I am presently getting this stack trace everytime I try to register.

  • Cc desktop app crashs after language switch, cant be removed, cant be installed again

    2nd big trouble after beeing in the c.cloud for some weeks now.. I haven't seen the Adobe.forums in all the years as a customer so often before as I did in the last weeks..
    What did happen? I have swichted the language in the cc desktop app from German to English, because I need to download Photoshop in english.
    During the download the app crashed. Now it is crashing immediately after launch. I can not uninstall it, the uninstaller crashs, I can not download/install a new version, this is crashing too.
    System: OSX 10.9.4
    This hint here:
    CC Applications crash immediately after launch
    ..must be a bad joke, how should you access the settings if it crashs immediately..?
    I have also tried these hints (exept no4), last time it helped, this time no success:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html
    Comment to No4): removing all Adobe software, using the cleaning tool and start again is no option at all, this is too time consuming and cant be the solution just to get this little app running again. This is Windows95ish.. format your harddrive and start again.. ...come on Adobe you could do better...

    **UPDATE**
    Called up Adobe Tech support for a 3rd time, and this time got someone who was willing to work with me on this. Since the past two times we've used the "Install Now" option in Creative Cloud Desktop to update the application, which usually leads to failure, we tried to dump the current install and start fresh with the desktop app. Uninstalling the CC Desktop doesn't remove any of the installed programs.
    Do try this alternate method we:
    Uninstalled Creative Cloud Desktop application
    Restarted
    Downloaded and installed the latest version of Creative Cloud Desktop at Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial
    Once it launched it took about 20 seconds to sync up with the applications I currently have installed, but recognized they were there, and indicated there were updates!
    Ran all the updates
    This is why I seldom take the first "no" as an answer...
    I hope that this helps someone else out.
