Photoshop Elements 10 Installation Question

How can I tell if my software installed properly? The software came with three discs, and it only installed the first disc. I am new to Photoshop, and do not know if my software installed properly? Can anyone help?

Gautham K,
Thank you for your quick replies. I have checked,and my OS is indeed 64 bit. I have been using the 32 bit version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, since I installed it last evening. I have a few quick questions;
Will I loose any functionality if I stay with the 32 bit version versus un-installing and installing the 64 bit version from disc 2?
If I decide to un-install, and re-install from disc 2, will there be any software registration issues (as I have already registered the software)?
Thanks again for all of your help.
Jim

Installation Questions Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition

We are looking to install Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition and have the following installation questions:
When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?

When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
The typical installation scenario is to have 3 tiers - application (WAS), application (Documaker), and data. WAS tiers host web applications (Dashboard, Administrator, Interactive) as well as providing database connection pools and JMS queues for messaging - it is expected that the WAS environment is a clustered environment and that the applications are deployed to the cluster members, which can be physical or virtual. For the Documaker application server, these can be physical or virtual as well. It's recommended to install Documaker on single-purposes environments, however there's nothing to prevent you from doing otherwise. The Documaker applications are self-contained JVMs and can be tuned accordingly.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
The installation process (currently) writes the scripts according to responses provided during the installation process. The scripts can be reviewed/modified prior to execution.
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?
The official supported version of WAS is 7.0.0.27, however WAS 8.5 may be suitable (I believe there might be a fix pack requirement there - would recommend you submit a question to Oracle Support for verification).

SAP J2EE installation and MySQL tool

Hi folks,
I successfully installed the SAP WEB AS J2EE preview ( full version ) and allready managed to create some tables using a java dictionary project.
I also downloaded SAP MaxDB SQL studio ( from www.mysql.org ) but this tool is driving me crazy ...
It simply refuses me to log on ... I used the user and password as described in the installation manual ... didn't work ... I created my own user and gave the user a password in upper case ( yeah I found the remark in the manual about defaulting upper case ) ... doesn't work ...
I downloaded both versions of the studio ( 7.5 and 7.6 )... nothing ... dead ... frustrated ....
I just want to enter some data in my table .... boohooobooe ...
Anybody knows a better tool for data entry ? ( without having to write my own EJB CMP beans and web application ) or a solution for my problem ?
Steven

Hi,
One question? Are you able to log on to the MAXDB Database
administrator?
If yes, it should also possible to log on to SQL Studio with this user.
Also try to use User CONTROL (PW: CONTROL).

Urgent! Changing hostname for J2EE installation

Hello,
I'm getting confused! I'm trying to change the hostname for a j2ee engine installation (WebAS 6.40)!
WebAS and DB are on the same server. I did everthing from the note 757692!!!
But when I change in the registry the key SAPLOCALHOST to the new servername and then start the j2ee engine the key is changed back to the old hostname!! and the engine is not starting!
I'm using windows 2003 with WebAS 6.40 SP14 and MS Sql as database.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards
Olaf

Has this question ever been answered? I tried everything in the note as well, still can't get it to work.
As a workaround i'm now installing the J2EE Engine on another server, then gonna do a java system copy via export/import. but i'd like to get the note to work as well.
Regards,
Bob Villangca

J2EE server0 question.....

Hello everybody,
In every J2EE instance there is a dispatcher and server0. This server0 could be up to server<n>, depending upon the load on the instance. When you add this server to J2EE then it basically adds more resources to instance.
My question is how and where I can monitor the need to add another server<n> to a J2EE instance.
Like I can monitor the SM50 to monitor the load in ABAP system.
What is the optimized way to analyze and monitor the need to another another server<n> to a existing J2Ee instance.
Your help will be greately appreciated.
Thank you very much for the help.
Thank you.
Sume

hi Sume
> I really wanted a quick starting tip about how to
> monitor that server is busy because of J2EE
> application.
You can monitor the J2ee Server using <b>Visual Administrator.</b>
You should have <b>SLD</b> (System Landscape Directory) support to your Server to add Dialog instances (ie. create server<n>)
This SLD can be made available to you during your installation of WebAS. It can be added later also to your system.
You log in into the Visual Administrator. you will find all the instances of all the servers available in your SLD.
The dispatcher will take care of load balancing ( i guess you gotta configure the dispatcher for this purpose)
hope this was useful

ak.

X79-gd45 (8d) - Windows 7 Pro x64 installation questions

Hi,
I have a MSI X79-GD45(8D) board with i7-3930k processor that I am trying to install Win 7 x64 Pro on. I have a Sandisk Xtreme 240 SSD that I will be using as a system disk and 2X WD 1TB Black SATA 6GB/s (faex) drives that I will be using in a RAID 1 configuration for storing quickbooks and other data. This machine will run a quickbooks enterprise server serving 10 people
I want to get the installation right from the get go so that I can start testing it asap. Here are the steps that I will be taking to get this going. Could you folks comment on it so that I can modify it as needed. Thanks.
I have already installed the main board, 32GB RAM, Processor, fans etc and have setup the case. It does post without issues so far. Now for the installation, I have not partitioned the SSD (intend to make use of the full 240 GB) and leave the WD disks in a Raid 1 taking up the whole disk space (no partitions).
I am installing Win 7 x64 Pro on the SSD. Here I have several questions:
1. Do I set the SATA mode to RAID or should I just leave it at AHCI? I am assuming that this board recognizes drives in AHCI mode and installs Win 7. I ask this question because I will be using two WD SATA drives in Raid 1 for storing data later. Will the SATA mode be AHCI irrespective of that fact or should I change it to RAID after installing Win 7?
2. Should I install Intel RSTe iaAHCI or iaStorA (ver RSTe_Win7_8_64bit_3.5.0.1101_F6) with the F6 option for the setup I mentioned. I know the F6 installation in Win XP, but a little confused with Win 7. I ask this because, I have read some discussions of Intel drivers vs Microsoft's version for AHCI. Raid is confusing though. Please explain in detail if you can. Appreciated.
3 If I do F6 installation, do I install the AHCI/RAID drivers again after Win 7 is installed or does Windows properly load the F6 installation?
SSD, AHCI are all new to me with this build. I have tried to educate myself, but have some of the confusions that I listed above. Please explain how I can properly install it to the spec that I outlined above.
Your time, patience and help are all appreciated. Thanks

1.) IF you are going to be using the mainboads raid controller for the data drive. You need to set the mode to raid for the os install as well. Unless you are going to use the extra chipset for the SSD. (Ports 7 &8) You won't be able to enable raid later w/o re-installing the os.
2.) I put the os(Install) on a usb flash drive, I also include all of the drivers on this flash drive and load the newest versions even if it detects the drive right out of the gate.
3.)Once inside the OS, you would install the irst drivers there as well. (They are combined the raid bios / drivers and os drivers)
If this isn't going to be a very high I/o server, I probably wouln't bother with the SSD but since you have it you would just use it as a non-member drive of the raid. Have a fast drive for the os, isn't going to help the server all that much as most of the I/O will be on the data drive.
If this is going to be a heavily used server(high i/o) you may want to look at a raid 5 configuration for the os and data drives. As SSD's degrade over time and aren't really optimal for contant use like in a server. Raid 5 requires 3 drives minimum and is striping and mirroring so you get the best of both worlds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels
However, the board based raid controller isn't really the best for this set up. I am fairly loyal to Adaptec Raid controllers although you need to contact Adaptec (or whoever) in regards to compatiblity as MSI doesn't test server compoents on thier desktop products.
This is the one I last used:

Although it is probably overkill in your situation.
Also, look into the SAS drives as opposed to the sata drives. (if you use a raid card)

Adobe AIR installation questions

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of distributing an application with Adobe AIR and I've a few questions about the Adobe AIR installation process. Just to give you some background on the situation I'm in - if a user wants to use the service I'm working on, they need to install a binary application on their computer. We've a web site which communicates with this binary application. As the user as to install the binary application to begin with, we're beginning to look at AIR as a possible alternative to distributing the web content through a browser.
1. Adobe AIR installation requests that the user enters their computer password. Is there any way to retrieve this password from a separate installer? The binary application that we ask our users to install asks the user for their password and it would be nice to not ask the user to enter their password twice. Are there any possibilities for sharing this password between our binary application and the Adobe AIR installer?
2. If I sign up as a re-distributer of AIR, is the Adobe EULA which is displayed at the start of installation still necessary? I'm already displaying one EULA (with the binary application) and I'd prefer not to have to display two.
3. I'm assuming that there is no way to specify the directory into which I'd like the Adobe AIR runtime to be placed - can you confirm that Adobe AIR is always installed in the /Applications folder on mac and c:/Program Files on Windows?
This question goes out to Adobe AIR developers - If you have distributed your application with Adobe AIR, have you ever stumbled across the situation where a user has uninstalled the Adobe AIR runtime (either intentionally or unintentionally) and you are now left in a situation where a user cannot access your services because Adobe AIR is not installed on their computer. If so, are you aware of any usable fallbacks other than to tell customers that they have to have Adobe AIR installed to run the application?
Thanks
Sean

1: We are working on a method to use a local socket to communicate with an installed c# application on the users machine. The situation is very similar, however we store credentials encrypted and accessible to the installed binary. If those credentials do not exist the AIR app requests the user to input them and they are sent to the binary. These credentials are stored either per session, daily or forever per the user's preferences. We use this method to let AIR be the front end it was designed to be and leave all the heavy lifting OS / processor wise to the binary. Unsure if this would help but you can read a bit more on using local sockets here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/devappshtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7caf. html
2: The EULA is still required as the End User has to accept it. If there's a way around that, I'm not aware.
3: The installation directory can be changed by the user unless you are performing silent installs (available when you sign a redistribution agreement). I don't recommend relying on the installation directory never changing.
Try using nativePath to determine where your program location is: (javascript)
//application directory
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
//application storage directory
var file = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("testfile.html");
air.trace(file.nativePath);
4: I've faced the problem where the AIR runtime is not available, but we always fall back on the badge there. For what it's worth it's pretty handy at detecting requirements and getting them to the user.
hope that helps

New Tiger 10.4.6 installation Questions

Just installed a new retail version of Tiger 10.4.6 today. I bought it from Apple. It's up and running and I'm using it now, but I have some questions and things I'm not sure about. When I bought the DVD the Apple rep told me it was not compatible with classic the way my old version of OS 10.1 was. He said the only way I could use OS 9 with it was to reboot to it ( I've already tried that and it works).
Today I installed Tiger using the custom option as I did not want to erase the harddrive. It would appear that Tiger, during the installation, went through what was on the harddrive, picked what would run on Tiger, and left the rest in OS 9.2.2. Yet, when you click on System Preferences there it is: "Classic". Now I wonder if I can use it?
It did not load any microsoft applications at all. I did find a folder named "previous system" on the harddrive which I assume is the archived 10.1 : It's a 750.4MB file.
I have not yet udated to 10.4.11 and I wonder if I need to?

When I bought the DVD the Apple rep told me it was not compatible with classic the way my old version of OS 10.1 was. He said the only way I could use OS 9 with it was to reboot to it ( I've already tried that and it works).
That applies to Mac OS X 10.5, not 10.4.
Yet, when you click on System Preferences there it is: "Classic". Now I wonder if I can use it?
You can. Some components may need to be updated.
I have not yet udated to 10.4.11 and I wonder if I need to?
If the new update contains features or fixes useful to you, you should install it.

Some installation questions concerning AS and 8i

I will be installing 8i Enterprise Edition so that I can work with 9i AS. I have read through most of the Installation Guide for Oracle 8i - Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) for Windows NT. I have some questions that didnt seem to be addressed in the documentation.
How to access Web Site component?
Appendix A, 'Individual Components Available for Installation,' indicates that the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web Site component is not included in either the Typical or Minimal installations of Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition. Is it available through a custom installation, or how do I access this component?
Advanced Security questions:
That same appendix also makes it clear that one of the primary differences between the Typical and Minimal installations is all of the Advanced Security features (encryption and integrity support; authentication support; and so on). It seems that I will need the Advanced Security component, because I will be configuring a database that stores usernames and passwords. However, I will be working with Oracle Portal. Can security features be configured just through Portal and 9i Application Server, or do I need to use Advanced Security instead, or in addition to, Portal and AS?
From what I understand, Advanced Security works with SSL (Secure Socket Layers). Does this affect visitors' ability to access a Web application anonymously before login (doesnt interaction with an application in SSL require online exchange between computers of authenticated, encrypted digital certificates? I hope this question makes sense; I'm new to the topic.) Is there a short answer to this question?
Application Server instead of Oracle HTTP server:
I also saw in Appendix A that the Oracle HTTP server powered by Apache is included with both the Typical and Minimal installations. It's also bundled as a "Web listener" with the Oracle Enterprise Manager Web Site.
However, I will be installing 9i Application Server instead to work with the 8i database. Will this cause any conflicts? I'm just wondering if the Oracle HTTP server component can be excluded from the beginning, without doing a custom install. I did see on pg. 3-6 of the Installation Guide (under 'Oracle Enterprise Manager Web Browser Requirements') that Oracle Enterprise Web Site does support the Oracle Internet Application Server.
Also, I understand from the section on 'Mandatory Individual Component Requirements' that Advanced Security "requires preinstallation of an LDAP directory such as Oracle Internet Directory (provided on the component CD-ROM)." It refers me to the Oracle Advanced Security Administrator's Guide for further information.
Oracle Internet Directory:
However, I haven't been able to access the Security Administrator documentation yet for installation procedures since I haven't been able to successfully download 8i Enterprise Edition (with all of the supporting documentation) yet.
I looked at the online 8i documentation at http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_index.htm but did not see any reference to the Advanced Security Administrators Guide.
As for Oracle Internet Directory itself, I did just find the Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide on the oracle8i/doc_index.htm page mentioned above - so that should help.
I also looked at the Oracle Internet Directory download page to see if links to documentation might be provided there, but saw that "Oracle Internet Directory Release 2.1.1.0 is delivered as part of Oracle8i Release 3" which leads me back to the 8i Enterprise Edition page where Ive been experiencing download difficulties. So far as I know, theres no evaluation-version CDs available for this software, though there are evaluation CDs available for 9i AS.

Oracle 9iAS installation question-oci.dll error

Hi all
I have a question about 9iAS installation. Can we install 9iAS in NT??. I downloaded from the site, installation for NT. While installing I get error like "could not write oci.dll error"..I'm installing the portal and wireless type and I have my Oracle9i database installed on the same machine. Can anybody suggest how to rectify this error.
Thanks a lot

Are you trying to install in the same Oracle Home directory as the database? You should install in a different OH. Furthermore, 9iAS itself also installs in 2 OH's. You will end up with 3 OH's.
It is not a good idea to install the database and 9iAS on the same server, unless you have a really big one.

Installation questions

I have been reading http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
I already have OAS installed with some OC4J applications. It has a BI farm that includes Discoverer, HTTP_Server, Forms, Reports_Server, OC4J_BI_Forms, OC4J_Portal, OC4J_Wireless, Portal, Web_Cache and Management all running. Is the BI Publisher described in the document above different that the BI farm installed with OAS? And the biggest question is can/should I install the BI Publisher on the same physical machine? Or does it need to be installed as an additional component in the existing OAS farm?
I guess I am do not understand the connection. Perhaps the BI Publisher and the BI farm in OAS are completely seperate and only share a common name?
Any help would be appreciated.

Scott,
I think I'm in the same environment as you. I'm running Windows Server 2003 on two machines. One machine has my Oracle 10gR2 database and the other machine has my OAS installation.
After countless hours going around in circles primarily on Sun's site, I finally found the correct JDK and JRE combination. I already had an older version of the JRE, but it didn't seem to mind that I now have two versions available in different locations.
Anyway, after getting these installed, the BI Publisher install finally allowed me to continue.
Next, I had to do the "Start OC4J" (under Start, Programs, Oracle BI Publisher). Then I went into "Welcome to Oracle BI" and clicked the BI Publisher link on the right side. I then logged in with the id and (initial default) password of Administrator. Next of course, I changed the default password. After that, I went into JDBC Connections and created one for my database on the other machine, in the format:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@//my_server:1521/sid_name
Finally after all this I eliminated the Adobe message about the corrupt or damaged PDF. I still have issues with how the output looks, almost everything is piled into the same column on the left side, but at least the connectivity is finally there.
Of course figuring this out wasn't a simple process. I spent around 20 hours of experimenting, researching, getting frustrated, etc. before it all came together.
Hope this helps you out some.

Oops, I forgot another step that I saw in one of the documents somewhere. Once you get into the BI Publisher app, where you can create the JDBC Connection, look at your URL bar. It will have your server_name:port in it. Whatever that port is (mine turned out to be 9704 instead of the default 8888), use that on the Apex side, where you define the Instance Settings.
