MSI files in Local Settings directory after JDK install

The JDK and JRE installers are leaving these giant .msi files (40+ MB for JDKs, 8-9MB for JREs) in c:\Documents and Settings\shankar\Local Settings\Application Data\{Long-Hex-Number-version}\
But they don't get removed when the JDK and JRE are removed. What's with them? Are they safe to delete? (The old ones - corresponding to JDKs I've removed (via Add/Remove Programs!) - should certainly be safe to delete - how about the ones for the currently installed JDK and JRE(s)?)

To answer myself in part, I just saw this bug: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4760174.html. So clearly the old files can be deleted.
The question now is - how about the files corresponding to the versions currently installed - are they needed?

Files on our server disappeared after CC install

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to retrieve two folders that were deleted from our server after I installed full Creative Could suite on the iMac I use (designer) and InCopy on four editor computers (two PCs, two iMacs). The Macs are running Yosemite and the PCs Windows 7.
I now see from the discussion boards that this has happened in the past, but I hope to find out...
1. Is there a way to recover the files via Adobe?
2. How can I make sure this doesn't happen again?
The folders in question were named "Admin" and "Archives," so I suspect the problem was that Adobe had a conflict with the directory names. But since Admin stored our contracts and Archives had the past 5 years of our publication draft files, this is a big deal. (And wouldn't you know we discovered this morning that our backup had been failing for the past 2 weeks but no one told us. Grrr!)
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

So embarrassed. Talked to Adobe support on the phone and then to our staff. It seems someone here DID get several pop-ups asking if it was okay to delete those folders and she assumed she should say Yes. At least the missing files affect her more than the rest of us... Needless to say, I have now turned off the file sync preference on everyone's computer!

Mysterious File's on Macintosh HD after Clean Install

Hi there,
Is it normal to have the following files in the Macintosh HD after a clean install: "bin", "cores", "etc", "private", "sbin", "tmp", "usr", "var" and "Volumes"? Here is a photo if that helps. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27650618@N03/2643669358/
Thanks,

Script to remove local home directory after sync

Does anyone have a good script to clear (periodically) the local home folders created by mobile accounts for sync ?
There is one mentioned in John DeTroye's overview of Tiger server v12.1, by Steve Hayman, but I'm having trouble running it via ARD.
Thanks

I'm doing this for 2 reasons:
- as a scripting exercise
- because the local repo is a shared wordpress mess and people forget to make commits so I'd like a local backup that includes all changes that may not be in github (sadly).
Anyhow, thanks for the input about trap, I'm definitely confused by it's use at this point but have reworked the script without it.
#!/bin/sh
set -e #Exit on any error.
TIME=`date +"%m.%d.%Y@%H:%M:%S"` # Define the TIME variable as today's date and time.
MONTH=`date +"%b"` # Define MONTH as today's month.
FILENAME="backup-$TIME.tar.gz" # Define the filename structure.
SRCDIR="/stuff" # Define folder to backup.
DESDIR="/Backup/$MONTH/" # Define the backup folder location.
LOGFILE="$DESDIR/backup-$TIME.log" # Store the output in a log.
REMOTE=$(git ls-remote -h origin master | awk '{print $1}') # Get commit hash from head of remote master repo (github)
LOCAL=$(git rev-parse HEAD) # Get commit hash from head of server repo (dev/test)
if [[ $LOCAL == $REMOTE ]]; then # If the hashes match
echo "No update required." >> $LOGFILE # Then no pull is needed
else # If the hashes don't match then prepare to run our backup
mkdir -p $DESDIR # Create our directory if it doesn't exist.
echo "Backup started for "$TIME >> $LOGFILE # Make it log what it's doing.

echo "Backup Finished for "$TIME >> $LOGFILE # Log that it's finished.

You can open the contents packages of said DVDs and find the settings by hand.
Also, they might be installed somewhere else. Did you look in both your main Library and your User Library Suuport folders?

Power settings missing after clean install of Windows 8.1 on Helix

After a smooth clean installation of Windows 8.1 and loading all the Lenovo drivers, software, and apps, the system runs extremely well except in the Lenovo Settings Metro App, I no longer see the option of battery life protection (to charge only up to 50%). In addition, in the Windows power settings, there are only four power profiles: high performance, balances, power saver, and fly mode. I do have Lenovo Power Management Driver and Settings Dependency Packages installed. Lenovo's System Update does not show any missing installations. I wonder if anyone can give me some clues. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The battery health mode setting was removed. We don't support this setting anymore.
The preload comes with a couple additional power profiles that we don't make available except in the preload. However they are not anything special. You can create your own power profile(s) in the Power control panel to do whatever you want them to do - idle timers, CPU speed, etc.
I accepted the answer as a solution, but I frankly think the battery health mode is very important to have.
My T400s, with both the main and ultra-bay batteries, started with about 6:30 hours of battery life (of course, under my typical work load). 4 years later as today, it still has about 4:30 hours. If I kill some processes and use IE instead of Chrome, I can get 5 hours. I think the long battery lifes have been a consequence of the setting of no start of charging until below 85%.
To replace either battery in Helix, a lot of effort is needed. I think it makes a lot of sense to keep them health.

Where is "javac" after JDK install?

I am having a problem just getting the first HelloWorldApp to compile the Java\jre1.6.0_06 JDK
I get the "'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" and followed SUN's troubleshooting directions so I'm sure and I am sure it is not a path issue.
Should there be a "javac" file in Java\jre1.6.0_06\bin where the JDK is installed?
I can't find one and I have reinstalled the jdk 2x and made sure I checked all options to install everything. This was from the latest Java SE JDK from SUN (jdk-6u6-windows-i586-p.exe)
Thanks

You're mistaken. It's a path issue.

No. The JRE is not the JDK. You've got the wrong path.

Restore iBooks files from time machine backup after clean install

I just did a clean install of Yosemite. I still have a Time Machine backup of my Mavericks install. iBooks in my new Yosemite install does not have all of my books and pdfs in it - just the ones I can download from the iBookstore.
Is there an easy way to access my Mavericks Time Machine backup to retrieve my old iBooks files?

When I go back to the backup it does not let me go back to the previous backupprobably because the last backup was Lion and I am on Mt. Lion now. don't what to do another backup if that is going to mess up the old one. I can access it though by just going to it. So i am putting that one on my desktop and I am going to rename it and see if I can open in Iphoto.

Changing file associations doesn't work after CS4 install

I am running into an issue on any machine I install CS4 on in which I would like (for the time being) to keep CS2 or CS3 on whereby the Open with in get info always defaults to the particular CS4 app, no matter if I set it to CS2/CS3 and hit change all. You can do an individual file and set the .indd file to open in ID CS2, but if you try to force a change all to default any .indd file to open with ID CS2, it reverts automatically back to ID CS4.
I have tried this on various workstations with differing OS's, Tiger, Leopard, and all yield the same result. It is like no matter what you do all the CS4 apps have precedence for whatever reason and cannot be universally overridden. Any ideas or others that have run into this?
I have use Onyx to clean up the Launchservice databases and to clean up associations, have thrown out some plists, etc. and nothing is working.
Any help would be appreciated.
Brian

Thanks, Bob. I will take a look at, but it might not be exactly what I was hoping for as I was hoping to avoid the user from having to drag files onto something just to open them up.
Any ideas why CS4 overrides the ability to globally set the Open with to CS2 or CS3 but you still can on just one document?
Odd behavior.

Files not visible in Finder after Yosemite install

I have installed Yosemite. I now cannot see any of my files including applications, in Finder. I also cannot get Dropbox to start.
I run a macbook pro 15" late 2011. Used for work so need to get this fixed pretty quick.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Hi Paul...You probably have to reinstall Flip4Mac. It is the Quicktime plugin that handles wmv content.

Error updating QuickTime7. can't find the quicktime.msi file?

I get an error message when I try to update my version of Quicktime7. It apparently can't find the quicktime.msi file in the temp directory?

First try this fixit:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
If that doesn't work you may need the the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google msicuu2.exe download
mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
After installing, To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install
If you get permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
Try uninstalling Quicktime, this will probably fail, don't worry
delete the following folder/files (I am assuming 32 bit XP, if you have something else it may be different, post back with info)
C:\Program Files\QuickTime\
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
Download QuickTime onto your PC
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any instance you find of Quicktime
Restart your PC
Install Quicktime

Msi file for 11.0.02 version

Hi, I could not find an .msi file of the adobe reader ver. 11.0.02 (latest version I could find with only .exe file) on the ftp site; is this version same as 11.0.2?. I am trying to deploy this version to all the devices in our environment. I have installed Adobe customization wizard version 11 and want to use it to customize our install. I there a way to check if a newer version of Adobe is installed so it will not install this version?.
Will a silent installation of this 11.0.02 version automatically removes older versions on the system?.

able to figure out how to extract .msi file from the .exe
AdbeRdr11002_en_US.exe -nos_oC:\AdobeReaderFiles -nos_ne
above extract to multiple files including .msi and msp (update) files to the adobereaderfiles folder on the root directory.
I need to use customization wizard to create a custom install .msi file; I tried loading the extracted "AcroRead.msi" file into the wizard and after making changes saved the file. I did not get far; is there any step-by-step instructions on how to save and utilize this utility; it has help, but does not give any examples how to create your own customize .msi from the one provided.

How to uinstall device software when .msi file is missing and I no longer have device.

I'm running Windows 7 and I am trying to uninstall "Blackberry Device Software v4.7.0 for the Blackberry 9530 Smartphone" and the .msi file is missing from it's temporary install directory.
How can I uninstall this without the .msi file that was the source? I can't obtain it without the device from the BB website. I have not been able to find a universal uninstaller.
Ideas?

Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article.

I want to install Logos on an NT4 workstation. When I click on the "Logos.msi" file the "Open with" popup box appear. NT4 does not recognise the "Logoshe Logos software on a .msi" file.

I want to upgrade the Citadel database with the Logos software. I have download the Logos.zip file from NI, unzipped it and install it on a WIN2000 system with no problem. When I tried to install it on a NT4 workstation by clicking on the "Logos.msi" file the "Open with" popup box appear. Thus NT4 does not recognise the ".msi" file.

Karolus,
most likely you did not install any newer software packages on this Windows NT machine. NT does not have the MSI installer engine preinstalled thus the first MSI based software would install this engine. E.g. if you install Lookout 4.5.1 or 5.0 before you try to upgrade Logos this should not be a problem anymore. Or if you install DSC that means LabVIEW 6.1 before this shouldn't be a problem either.
If you really want to install just Logos alone than you would need to install the MSI engine manually before by executing the InstMsiw.exe from your CD. You might get this MSI engine as well from Microsoft.
Hope this helps
Roland
