Invoking Desktop Apps from 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?
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.

          This would be an intranet app used to support the user's business needs.

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));

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?

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.

Return to app from browser

My app loads an rss feed and returns links to news items, when a news item is clicked its description appears with 2 buttons: visit the full page on the website, share news item via email.
In the Android version the application stays open so user can return from email client or browser and app is still running. With iPhone version the email client or browser loads but then the app is closed and the user needs to re-launch app, wait for it to load etc. I know I can use shared object to save application state and return user to that state on re-launch though its not user-friendly to have to close the browser and re-lauch the app again and again.
Is there anyway to not exit application and return from browser to the app?
Any thoughts?
(The share via email I can build into the app calling a php script on my server so no worries there but the view via browser functionality is key to the app.)

Ok i thought this post was close to me situation. I see the issue trying to go to browser and back as an issue me for as well. This
question piggybacks of this,
Why does the app terminate when the Home button is clicked? I use the Event.DEACTIVATE to do pause the game, this works fine in andriod. But
the app when you double click shows up as running, but when you click back on the app in the task manager it starts the app all over. It appears
the app is not resuming.. but starting over.
any thoughts?
Thanks
Rob

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

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.

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.

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:

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.

Creative Cloud Desktop App will not install on Mac

Downloaded latest version on CC Desktop App from download center. Opened the .dmg file, double clicked on icon to install, said ok when Mac warned that this was an app downloaded from internet, entered my computer password when prompted, installer started and then stopped 3 seconds later. Actually have to restart computer to remove that stalled dialog box from screen (can't "cancel" or force quit or simply hit the red, close button). Now, when I open an app like inDesign, I get a "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application." I would be happy to reinstall but I can't because the desktop app itself won't install. Any clues out there?

I am Windows, but have a few saved Mac links... your problem looks to ME like one of permissions

Creative Cloud desktop app won't launch

I have downloaded the CC desktop app from the Adobe website and everything seems to install without a problem. However, when I double-click to launch the app or try to load it from the start menu the egg-timer appears for a little while but nothing loads.
Any suggestions?
I am using Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 installed
