you can't call MSI files. EXEC can only call executable type
of files, exe, bat, com....

  • Want to Create a Skin Button that runs JavaScript

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm using RoboHelp 9.
    I found a script (see below) that creates an email and automatically inserts the URL from where the user is sending the email.
    I pasted the script directly into the HTML of a page to test it worked – and it does.
    However, I now want to add a button to a skin that runs this javascript for each page, and have no idea where to begin to get the button to run correctly. I have been able to create a button on a skin, and can see that there are javascript options but that’s as far as it goes…
    <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/document.write("<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]?subject=ACME%20Application%20("+document.title+")&body="+location.href+"%0A%0A"+"\">Send Feedback</a>")/*]]>*/</script>
    Thanks everyone in advance.

    Hi Peter,
    Thanks so much for your information - it has worked perfectly!
    The only thing that wasn't obvious in the snippet information was where to actually put the script text on the Action tab. At first I pasted the script into the Inline Javascript option in the bottom section. This did nothing so I pasted the script into the OnClick action option. This worked perfectly.
    Is it okay to leave the script text in the OnClick option?
    Thanks again.

  • Making a button that onclick opens email program

    What is the code to make a button that onclick opens the
    user's email
    program?
    Thanks.

    I think you can simply treat it as a URL -- prefaced with
    "mailto:". As in "mailto:[email protected]". Then, make a URL
    Request with it.

  • Help making a "button" that appears mid-track

    So... I have a client who's making a French version of a program that has already been made once in English. The English version was not made by me so i'm starting from scratch with some brand new assets.
    The English version has a feature I've not seen before so I'm unsure how to recreate it exactly. Basically, the main program of the disc comes in 2 flavors. the first is just your basic video program with chapter markers for each segment and an end jump to the main menu. the second is whats puzzling me. the program itself is the same video however at certain points during the program a "button" pops up which allows for a jump to another menu. i say "button" in quotes because i'm not sure its the right word.
    what happens is a translucent gray box pops up in the lower left hand corner of the screen that has some text in it with instructions to press the enter button on your remote if you'd like to see a related video. when one presses enter on the remote the DVD then jumps to a sub menu which corresponds to the appropriate supplemental program. the button comes up during the end of one chapter and visually is gone within a few second but the functionality of that button is still available for the first 20 or so seconds of the following chapter and then is disabled until the next instance.
    my question is: what is that gray box button thing? is it scripting or something? i've never seen this before. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Msi-installation: no distribution-script window

    Hello together
    When installing a simple application a window is showed "running pre-/post-distribution script" with a progress bar. When installing a msi-application it seems that this window isn't being showed at all - only the progress-window during the msi-installation.
    I'm running a long task in the pre-distribution script (uninstallation of the previous version). During the runtime of the pre-distribution script nothing is showed, so the user could think that nothing is going on and getting nervous... ;-)
    I don't expect to have an output of my distribution script, just the usual distribution-script-window.
    Am I doing something wrong, is it a bug or is the only way to prevent this behaviour to create a simple application that is run before the msi-installation?
    Using Zenworks 7.0.1.4
    kind regards,
    Stefan

    dtMsgBox is a good idea, but has a strange gui. I would rather place it in the center of the screen in this case than at the top and would like to change its outfit (text, color, ...).
    I'd prefer if zenworks would behave in installing msi-packages as it does with simple applications.

    I am new at Captivate 8 and I have created a learning project using an existing power point presentation.  I have added a button that will allow my students to view a video on the subject.  When I run the project in Preview the button works but when I publish it, it stops working.

    I added an Interactions button and in the Actions on Success I open an URL or file. I have placed the video on our web server.   In the URL I point to our web server "http://www.wmabhs.org/Media/Add Client 3rd Party Coverage.mp4".  If I run this from any browser it works.  So what do you think I have done wrong?

  • Create a validation that runs when a button is pressed

    Hi good people from this forum, I was wondering if it's possible to create a validation that runs when a button is pressed.
    I'm using Oracle Apex 4.2.2 with Oracle Apex Listener 2.0 and Oracle Database XE 11g
    Thank you so much for your time
    P.S. On another note, How can I change my display picture =P?

    You can create a validation and give it's condition like 'When Button Pressed' and select a button name or select the Condition Type as 'Request=Expression1' and give request(button name) in Expression1.
    Thanks

  • How can I creat a control button that will allow the vi to run?

    Instead of pressing the run button, I want to creat my own run button that will allow my vi to run.
    Any idea?
    Thank you

    First you need to set the VI to Run When Opened (VI Properties>Execution). Then you create a front panel Boolean. On the diagram what you need to do is have some sort of idle state where nothing is done until the Boolean is pressed. It could be a separate while loop that doesn't exit until the Boolean is pressed, an Event Structure, or as part of a state machine. Look at the shippings examples Queued Message Handler, New Event Handler, Using Buttons for Options to name just a few.

  • Automaticly run Program\Script After and MSI Installation

    Hi All,
    Today I started looking into the use of Application Model in SCCM 2012.
    It was easy to create an application by using the import MSI function, which automatically created the application, deployment type and detection rule. But I'm struggling with how to run a script afterwards, when the MSI installation was successful.
    I've looked into creating 2nd deployment type making the first deployment type as it's dependency, but it's mandatory that I also need to make an detection rule. And this is where I'm stuck ass the detection rule I want to have the same as
    for the first deployment type which will make it impossible to run because the condition will be evaluated ass already installed.
    Is there a way to avoid the detection rule? If not is if possible trigger something after the first deployment type based on the errorlevel after the MSI installation.
    My goal is to write a regkey  somewhere in HKLM\Software\<company name> after an successful installation of an application. This location we've included in our hardware inventory for reporting purposes.
    Any suggestions to achieve this goal are welcome .
    Regards,
    Daniel

    I've resolved it with using the AddDploymentTypebyMISInstallerAuto function from the Add-CMDeployment command and provided an InstallationProgram parameter to override the default InstallationProgram.
    The comman-line looks like
    Add-CMDeploymentType
    -ApplicationName <Name>
    -AutoIdentifyFromInstallationFile
    -ForceForUnknownPublisher $True `
    -InstallationFileLocation
    <MSI
    File> -MsiInstaller
    -DeploymentTypeName
    Test1 –InstallationBehaviorType InstallForSystem
    -InstallationProgram
    < Custom
    Script>
    In this way I have the detection based on the MSI GUID and the ability to use a wrapper script.

  • Buttons that expand/reveal on hover?

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering if there is any way to create buttons that expand to their full size when the user rolls over their minimum size?
    For example:
    Demo 4 here: Animated Buttons with CSS3
    or
    the 'Friends' or 'Cheap Mobile Website' tabs to the right of this page: DesignEasy: Creating rollover buttons in Photoshop for Adobe Captivate project
    My aim is to have ribbon-like tab 'nubbins' at the top of the screen that expand downwards to reveal an icon (like '?') that the user can click to navigate somewhere (i.e. '?' would take them to a help page or open a help popup). I'd like to be able to do this with just native Captivate (using 8), or if not combining it with javascript etc.
    Any advice?
    Thanks!

    Hey guys, just to update this:
    I am at the moment playing around with the following technique.
    1. Create an image of the button in its 'unused' state, i.e. the minimum size it will ever be, and position it where you like the expanding button to be. We'll call this the 'button background image'.
    2. Create a rollover image where a) the rollover area is completely transparent, b) the rollover area is positioned over the button background image, c) the image triggered by the rollover area is exactly the same, and positioned exactly the same, as the button background image.
    3. Add an effect to the image triggered by the rollover area. It should be a motion path to move the image down slightly (or left/right slightly if your button is on the side rather than at the top of the slide).
    4. Add an invisible button roughly the size of the rollover image (at its most extended size).
    My reservations are:
    - The technique seems a bit buggy, as not every time I preview in browser does it display correctly, but that might be to do with previewing it - perhaps a fully published version would work fine.
    - I have a sneaking suspicion that it won't work on all browsers but I don't know what I'm founding that suspicion on!
    - You can't have the nice 'motion out' effect that you can achieve when making this kind of button in html/javascript/etc. it just 'jumps' back to the original position rather than sliding back out. I have added an exit motion path to this button so that if the object times out it will do this, but it's a shame not to be able to have it when the user moves the mouse away from the button in general.
    Any thoughts?

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

    I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
    Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
    Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
    I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
    After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
    If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
    I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
    I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
    I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
    I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi!
    I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
    I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
    I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

    How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

    First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
    Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
    You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
    You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

  • How to create a dropdown menu with sub buttons that link back to the labels on click.

    im trying to create a dropdown menu buttons that when you rollover to the top central button the button it opens up like a drop down menu would containg two other subsectional buttons.

    Hi!
    I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
    Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
    I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
    Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language.  Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
    I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
    Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
    Thank you very much!!!
    pdp1
    They must be in the same project.

  • I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Problem is that there are rest of installations. I uninstalled all iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apples components, but problem goes on. I run WIN XP SP 3 32 BITS. I accept ideas to solve, thanks.

    A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
    When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
