Multi string

Dears,
Actually am using a dll which will give a output string like this.
string1 followed by a null character
string2 followed by a null character
string4 followed by a double null character which indicates end of the string.
How can i extract it and display in a string indicator one by one?
Thanks,
Mathan

Hi mathan,
use the "spreadsheet string to array" function and delete the last two elements.

How can I get all the values of a String array profile property using javascript?

I am trying to build functionality into our site that records all products added to the basket against a user's profile.
I have so far been able to store the product codes against the profile as a property using Ajax:
       var dataString = ":formid=addProduct&:formstart=/apps/thread/templates/page_product/jcr:content/par/produc t/formstart&:redirect=/content/thread/en/user/cart.html&productId=151515:profile="+profile ;
                     $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/content/women/evening/dresses/l-k-bennett-davinadress.html",
            data: dataString,
            success: function(data) {
In this example I have hardcoded a product ID of 151515.
In order to save the property as a multi string field you simply replace &productId=151515 with &productId=151515&productId=131313&productId=141414 or as many extra values as you want to build into that string. This stores a productId property against a user profile.
The issue comes from calling that data back. Using var value = CQ_Analytics.ProfileDataMgr.getProperty("productId") I can get the first value of this array (or the single value if only one is stored).
However there does not seem to be a way to get any of the other stored values in the array using getProperty. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

Hi,
Don't think that's possible. Even if it were, you wouldn't be able to use/display BOOLEAN type in SQL.
If you just aim to see what they are, you could do something like this
select text
from all_source
where owner = 'SYS'
   and name = 'DBMS_DB_VERSION'
   and type = 'PACKAGE';Or even
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('PACKAGE', 'DBMS_DB_VERSION', 'SYS') from dual;My version is:
SQL> select * from v$version where rownum = 1;

An add on or feature which could do a multi word search ?

On firefox, if there was an addon or a feature which could do multi word / multi string search.
Lets say we could add one more find bar or better, add multiple find bars.

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software Please reinstall

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
get the same message.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?

I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

I can't save *new* documents back to SharePoint

I can’t save *new* documents back to SharePoint. We have a SharePoint 2013 development environment, running on Windows Server 2012 and a Windows 7 Client Computer with Office 2010.
Every time I click „new document“, SharePoint opens the corresponding template file in the client application (Word, Excel,…) So far, so good. When i select „Save“, the client application brings up a local save path on the client computer, not the SharePoint
document library.
I did some research and tried many approaches, but none of them worked.
I installed the Desktop Experience Feature on the Windows Server 2012, added the server address to trusted sites, gave the user farm-administrator rights (to make sure it is no security problem) and switched the authentication mode for the web application.
Does anyone know this problem and found a solution?

Hi,
For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to add a registry value to your local registry (on a machine with Office Applications installed through which you are accessing SharePoint sites):
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click OK.
Note You can also type a list of URLs in the Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
Exit Registry Editor.

Remote control and windows XP SP2

I have been creating new images and noticed that when I install windows XP
service pack 2 that the remote control client fails to load up and I cannot
control the workstations. Before placing the service pack on,the remote
control agent on the system tray loads up, but disapears after service pack 2.
I have seen this on a vairety of different workstations and different
clients. We are currently using the Novell client 4.83.3.1 SP1 and a 4.9
client.
Has anyone come across this problem?

thanx to Shawn Dakin for this solutions
1) Change the Windows Firewall/ICS service to manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\SharedAccess
String Value Start = 3
2) Force Windows Firewall/ICS service to start before Remote Management
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Novell User Agent
Multi String Value DependOnService = SharedAccess
NOTE: DependOnService must also contain WM
3)Set Firewall Exceptions for wuser.exe
netsh firewall add portopening UDP 1761 ZENRC Enable
netsh firewall add portopening UDP 1762 ZENRC Enable
netsh firewall add allowedprogram c:\novell\zenrc\wuser32.exe ZenRC enable
NOTE We placed the netsh commands in the autoexec.bat of every WinXpSp2
machine.
This fixed the problems for us, and allows us to remote control even if
the user is not connected.
THIS WORKS WITH ZenWorks 3.2 ONLY

Error message from itunes setup assistant

When I open iTunes to sync my iPod-Touch, I get an error message regarding the registry and suggest that I re-install iTunes.
Message: Warning. The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
OK
I have reinstalled iTunes but the message continues.
I do not burn CD's but I would like to have this message quit showing up. What do I need to do.
Thanks in advance.
GaryAZ

Thank you for your response. I followed the regedit procedures. There were no lowerFilters Key or UpperFilters Key. There also was not a Value data field. When right clicking in the field, I have an option menu that allows for "new" entries. My options are as follows: Value - Key, String Value, Binary Value, Dword (32-bit) value, Qword (64-bit) Value, Multi-string Value and Expandable String Value. Do any of these Values meet the criteria of the Value you are suggesting, and if so, which one could I use if I chose a "new" value for the GEARAspiWEM?
When the ITunes was first installed I was not able to access the DVD drive, and found a solution on a web page, so at that time I deleted the LowerFilters and UpperFilters, but do not remember any changes to a value entry, if there even was one at that time.
Gary

A solution for Itunes error: Disc burner or software not found

This solution, which I found on another forum, worked for me.
IT APPEARS THAT WHEN GEARAspiWDM GETS INSTALLED IT DOES NOT CREATE A "MULTI-STRING VALUE", IT CREATES A "STRING VALUE", WHICH DOES NO GOOD. THE UPPERFILTERS VALUE MUST BE A MULTI STRING VALUE, NOT A "STRING VALUE".
1. Download the latest gear driver at:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
2. Once that is installed you have to DELETE the UPPERFILTERS entry in your system registry, AND CREATE A NEW UPPERFILTERS VALUE at:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 (of course you knew once you get there just click on "favorites" in your system registry and add it your favorites).
YOU WILL BE DELETING THE UPPER VALUE: DONT WORRY YOU WILL BE CREATING A NEW ONE. ________________________________________________________
To Start the Registry Editor
Click on Start > Run, type Regedit and press OK
! WARNING! !
Be very careful while you are running the registry editor.
You can easily render your machine unable to boot if you play with settings you aren't familiar with!
You may want to immediately back up your Registry before doing any editing.
GO HERE IN THE SYSTEM REGISTRY:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318
FIND THE UPPER FILTER VALUE AND DELETE IT!
1. WHILE IN HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318 using the system registry editor: EDIT > NEW > MULTI STRING VALUE. IT MUST BE A "Multi String Value".
2. NAME IT UpperFilters.
3. Once it's created and named, right click on it and select "Modify".
4. Enter this into the box that will pop up: GEARAspiWDM AS SOON AS YOU TYPE THE GEARAspiWDM PRESS ENTER. This "carriage return" is required.
THE VALUE FOR THE UpperFilters should be: REGMULTISZ (Which means it is a multi string value).
5. REBOOT

Try looking on the manufacturer of your Disc Drive's website for any drivers that you might need.

Crystal XI R2 exporting issues with double-byte character sets

NOTE: I have also posted this in the Business Objects General section with no resolution, so I figured I would try this forum as well.
We are using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (version 11.5.0.313).
We have an application that can be run using multiple cultures/languages, chosen at login time. We have discovered an issue when exporting a Crystal report from our application while using a double-byte character set (Korean, Japanese).
The original text when viewed through our application in the Crystal preview window looks correct:
性能著概要
When exported to Microsoft Word, it also looks correct. However, when we export to PDF or even RPT, the characters are not being converted. The double-byte characters are rendered as boxes instead. It seems that the PDF and RPT exports are somehow not making use of the linked fonts Windows provides for double-byte character sets. This same behavior is exhibited when exporting a PDF from the Crystal report designer environment. We are using Tahoma, a TrueType font, in our report.
I did discover some new behavior that may or may not have any bearing on this issue. When a text field containing double-byte characters is just sitting on the report in the report designer, the box characters are displayed where the Korean characters should be. However, when I double click on the text field to edit the text, the Korean characters suddenly appear, replacing the boxes. And when I exit edit mode of the text field, the boxes are back. And they remain this way when exported, whether from inside the design environment or outside it.
Has anyone seen this behavior? Is SAP/Business Objects/Crystal aware of this? Is there a fix available? Any insights would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jef
I searched on the forums and got the following information:
1) If font linking is enabled on your device, you can examine the registry by enumerating the subkeys of the registry key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEu2013\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink to determine the mappings of linked fonts to base fonts. You can add links by using Regedit to create additional subkeys. Once you have located the registry key that has just been mentioned, from the Edit menu, Highlight the font face name of the font you want to link to and then from the Edit menu, click Modify. On a new line in the dialog field "Value data" of the Edit Multi-String dialog box, enter "path and file to link to," "face name of the font to link".u201D
2) "Fonts in general, especially TrueType and OpenType, are u201CUnicodeu201D.
Since you are using a 'true type' font, it may be an Unicode type already.However,if Bud's suggestion works then nothing better than that.
Also, could you please check the output from crystal designer with different version of pdf than the current one?
Meanwhile, I will look out for any additional/suitable information on this issue.

Toshiba L500 Blue Screen crashes - Windows 7

I have a Toshiba L500-1XJ, part no. PSLS0E-07D01DEN which crashes almost immediately on loading Windows 7.
As it belonged to my son, who is now using another machine, I have restored the machine to its original state and still the machine crashes.
The blue screen of death appears with the following message:
PROCESS HAS LOCKED PAGES
STOP: 0x00000076 (0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFA8004F4D060, 0x0000000000000033, 0x0000000000000000)
I am only able to access Windows in Safe mode, otherwise the machine crashes.
Microsoft Knowledge Base indicate the problem to be with a driver not cleaning up completely after an I/O operation and talks about editing the registry to find out. I am hesitant about editing the registry as I have not done this before and am not not clear about adding parameters to the registry.
Microsoft Knowledge Base states -
=====> Windows includes a registry value that you can use to save stack traces that enable you to identify the problem driver.
Note Using DriverVerifier to enable the Pool Tracking option will result in the same behavior in Vista, 2008, Win7 and 2008 R2 as setting the registry value TrackLockedPages to 1.
Use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to view the following registry key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Add the following registry value, and then restart your computer:
Value Name: TrackLockedPages
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data&colon; 1
Radix: hexadecimal
After you make this change, Windows saves stack traces so that you can identify the problem driver. There is no other way to determine which driver is neglecting to clean up the I/O operations. After you enable this flag, if the driver commits the error again, you see the following error message:
STOP: 0x000000CB (0xY,0xY,0xY,0xY) DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS
Parameter 1 - The calling address in the driver that locked the pages
Parameter 2 - The caller of the calling address in the driver that locked the pages
Parameter 3 - A pointer to the MDL containing the locked pages
Parameter 4 - The problem driver's name (Unicode string)
The problem driver's name is listed on the blue "Stop" screen and is available for dumping again as the fourth parameter in the "Stop" data.
After you identify and update or remove the problem driver, you should remove the TrackLockedPages value from the registry.
=====>
I have run regedit, but am not confident in what to do next. Two folders are shown under Memory Management as well as a number of other files contained within the folder itself. If I highlight Memory Management and click EDIT, NEW a number of options are presented - Key; String Value; Binary Value; DWORD (32-bit) Value; QWORD (64-bit) Value; Multi-String Value; Expandable String Value
How should I proceed? Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks
Solved!

Sorry, none of that helps me identify the hardware at fault.

Failed to Connect "Group Policy Client Service" Windows 7 x64

This error pops up everytime boot / start-up. I've tried everything, for the last month. including
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2421599 In the "Resolution Section" did step by step, But did not work for me...
Also
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mempson/archive/2010/01/10/userenvlog-for-windows-vista-2008-win7.aspx Didn't work either. :(
Is this a Winlogin problem? Or does have to do with other computers in my homegroup?
But in Safe Mode & Safe Mode with Networking, this issue does Not appear / pop-up at start up. "Group Policy Client Service"
""HP Premium Remote Services"" tells me that in order to fix, I have to Re-Install Windows. And have been in contact today with Hp Premium Remote Services for over 7 hours with NO Resolution!!
Hate to make a Recovery Partition on a New PC, in order to Re-Install Windows...
This is a Brand New HP Pavilion HPE H8-1234 AMD Processor that I installed on 7/23/2012. Running windows 7 64-bit home premium, OS: Internet Explorer 9.
Have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate using Anytime Upgrade, My question is would that rectify the "Group Policy Client Service" error?
Always run MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and Hitman Pro, in addition with Norton, on a regular basis. So that I know my system is clean...
Any MS Engineers or Tech's have any ideas, suggestions OR help, How to Fix this issue,With-Out having to use: System Recovery/Restore. To factory condition...
Would be Very Greatly Appreciated! HELP Me Pleeeze !!!!
***Because this issue Baogles my Mind! After all I'am only dealing with half a Brain, LOL- Due to Brain Tumor Surgery...

I FOUND SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!
I had this issue on my laptop since November, and it really bugged me. I sifted through the event log and found the pattern of events that preceded the issue, and, probably, caused it.
In short, the pattern is as follows: Windows updates run automatically as scheduled, and when reboot is initiated after the updates are finished, the computer crashes (probably during reboot sequence). When it boots up, it reports that the last shutdown
was unexpected, and the issue begins to occur.
I spent 2 days trying to dig out a solution from the Internet, to no avail, until I came across
this page. It doesn't say anything about this particular problem, but it gives more information about SVCHOST process that starts many services, including Group Policy Client. It looks like during reboot a vital registry settings were lost during
crash and Group Policy Client "doesn't know" how to start. Let me explain:
There are two places to look in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path should contain
gpsvc key (a folder), which is responsible for service parameters and configuration. I found that the key was intact, so, you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SVCHOST This is the most important path you should look into, as it must contain the keys and values referred in the key #1. Below are descriptions what must be present
there.
There must be Multi-String value called GPSvcGroup. My laptop was missing it. So, you should create multi-string value named
GPSvcGroup and assign it value GPSvc.
Next, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key normally should be there, but, again, it was missin on my laptop.
Then open newly-created GPSvcGroup folder and create 2 DWORD values:
First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0x00003020 (or 12320 in decimal)
Second is called CoInitializeSecurityParam and it must have value of 1.
Once you complete all steps above, reboot the computer and the problem will be fixed.
I am so relieved I was able to fix it, and hope this will help others with the similar issue.
Here is the link to the video walkthrough if you have any troubles understanding what has to be done: http://youtu.be/4m5KEmckWK4
I did try the above, but it did not fix my issue with the ""group policy client service failed the logon".
This problem was happening on 5 different RDS Nodes. All I did was rename the Roaming Profile, then delete the locally stored profile on each RDS Server: right click COMPUTER > PROPERTIES > ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS > USER PROFILES > delete the
offending User(s).
Hope that helps.

Group Policy Client service does not start

Hi,
As soon as I (administrator on my PC) logon to Windows 7, I get a message saying that the Group Policy Client service failed to start. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error even though the dependencies are very much up and running..
Below is the error message I get in the notification area as soon as I logon
Failed to connect to a windows service
Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents stndard users from logging on to the system.
As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond.

I FOUND SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!
The crash of your computer caused that - you are absolutely right!

I don't even know why I continue to use adobe products. Adobe software development is a joke. So are their UIs.
First, this forum crashed my FireFox 3.0.10 browser, twice. The second time, I figured out it was Adobe's fault. Why doesn't Adobe learn to script AJAX properly so it doesn't crash browsers? So here I am in IE8 typing a reply.
All of you guys were beating around the bush in regards to the "solution" to this problem. I have found a way to apply the patch and use an MST generated by the Adobe Customization Wizard. Granted, it would be much better if Adobe would just generate their patches correctly to begin with.
As you all have found out, you cannot create an MST using the ACW (Adobe Customization Wizard) and then use the following command
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd912_all_incr.msp /t
This will cause the aforementioned problem. Below is the proper sequence of events:
Make a backup copy of the 9.1.0 AcroRead.msi (just in case).
Run the following command: msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd912_all_incr.msp This command will create an Administrative Install Point (AIP) in the directory you choose. I will place it in a directory called Patched The AcroRead.msi file will be rewritten and will be version 9.1.2 (check the Property table with ORCA and look at the value ProductVersion). In addition, the files that were in Data1.cab will be expanded and patched and are in the Patched folder I specified above. At this point, we no longer need the Data1.cab file. If you know how, you could compress all the files back into a cab and insert them back into the media table, but that is overly complicated and I forget how to do it successfully. In any event, the major benefit would be some space savings. If you had a lot of apps like this, it would be beneficial; but for one, not so much so.
Open AcroRead.msi with ACW. Make any changes you want for your installation. However, the following changes must be made or browser integration will be broken (per an earlier post in this thread):
Go to the Registry item in the left-hand menu.
Under the Destination Computer section, navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\acrobat\DefaultIcon.
Modify the (Default) value to the following: [READER]AcroRd32.exe. NOTE: This only applies if you are installing Adobe Reader. If you are installing Acrobat, this may not apply, but I am not sure. YMMV.
This step was updated 10 July 2009 11:30:00 EST (GMT-05:00). If your are performing application virtualization, you will want to make te following changes to the MSI (via ORCA or ACW). I'm making these changes from ACW. The installer will fail during application sequencing during the installation of the Adobe Updater Manager (AUM). For virtualized applications, this component is unnecessary and should not be installed. Other sites lead you through a lengthy, risky process to eliminate the installation of the AUM. This step will eliminate the installation of AUM with two simple changes to the MSI.
In ACW, select the Direct Editor node from the left hand side.
Select the Feature table.
On the right side, locate the features named AUM and Updater. Note that the Level field for both features are 1. Change the Level field for both fields to be 200. Actually, any number greater than 100 will do, but 200 is a nice round number. Since the installer defaults to INSTALLLEVEL=100 (see the Property table), any feature with a Level value of 100 or less will be installed. Since we have now given these features an install level of 200, these features will not be installed. Generally, this tactic can be used on any component you wish not to have installed (for Adobe Reader and some other applcations with simple installers), such as AIR and Acrobat.com. Those are the only two changes that need to be made to not have AUM installed.
To make sure your users don't encounter an error while running Adobe Reader, make sure, in ACW, to uncheck the box Disable all updates under the Online and Acrobat.com Features section.
Save the package (in ACW, File->Save Package). This modifies the setup.ini file so that it will use the changes you just made (saved by default in AcroRead.mst).
I left my original instructions below, but marked as deleted. Please see step 5 below these deleted instructions. This is a new step. If you are performing application virtualization, you want to make the following changes to the MSI (via ORCA or ACW). I'm making these changes via ACW. The installer will fail during application squencing due to not being able to create to two certain registry keys. This is the easiest way that I can think of to get this to work.
Start your sequencing machine (in my case, a VM).
Install Adobe Reader 9.1.x (do not sequence, simply install).
Once installation completes, open the Registry Editor (assuming Windows Vista; if using WinXP or below, try RegEdt32.exe).
Browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Win32Assemblies\Global
Double click the following entry (make sure you get the right one, there are two similar entries!): Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762", processorArchitecture="x86".
Copy the value of the entry (on Vista, the value is already highlighted,simply right-click and choose Copy. Otherwise, right-click and choose Select All and then right-click again and choose Copy.).
Paste this value into Notepad. Save the file, making sure to select the Unicode encoding type from the Encoding drop-down list. Save it with the name Microsoft.VC80.CRT.txt
Back in the registry editor, double-click the following entry: policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32-policy",versio n="8.0.50727.762",processorArchitecture="x86".
Copy the value of the entry (on Vista, the value is already highlighted,simply right-click and choose Copy. Otherwise, right-click and choose Select All and then right-click again and choose Copy.).
Paste this value into Notepad. Save the file, making sure to select the Unicode encoding type from the Encoding drop-down list. Save it with the name policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT.txt
Close the registry editor.
Reset your VM so it is clean for the sequencing (i.e. revert to a snapshot).
Back in the ACW, at the Registry portion, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
Right-click HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and selet New->Key. Name the new key Installer.
Right-click the Installer key and select New->Key again. Name the key Win32Assemblies.
Create a new key in Win32Assemblies called Global.
Select the Global key you just created.
On the right-side of the editor, right-click and choose New->Multi-String Value. Name the new value: Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762", processorArchitecture="x86".
Right-click the new value and select Modify
Open the text file Microsoft.VC80.CRT.txt you created aboe.
Press CTRL+A or Edit->Select All (in Notepad) and then press CTRL+C (or Edit->Copy).
Back in ACW, paste the value from the clipboard and click OK.
Now right-click the editor and choose New->Multi-String Value again. Name it policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32-policy",versio n="8.0.50727.762",processorArchitecture="x86".
Open the policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT.txt file created above.
Copy the file contents as the value of the new entry in the ACW.
Save the package. You should now be ready to install Adobe Reader via Setup.exe for sequencing.
Updated 10 July 2009 12:00:00 EST (GMT-05:00). We have one more step to perform just to clean things up bit. I'm going to create another AIP using the patched MSI and our newly created MST. However, this does not work quite as one would expect.
Run the following command: msiexec /a AcroRead.msi /t <Your_transform.mst>. I created this AIP in a folder called PatchedTransformed.
The above step created another AIP in the PatchedTransformed folder. What's different about this AIP compared to the one made at the beginning of this procedure is that the MSI file was copied to the PatchedTransformed folder as well. However, the MSI is not merged with the changes from the MST as I expected. There are two things you can do:
Modify the setup.ini file and add the following line to the [Product] section: CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="<Your_Transform.mst>", or
Use ORCA. Open your patched MSI in ORCA. Choose Transform->Apply Transform... and select the transform generated by the ACW. Then choose File->Save Transformed As... and give the transformed MSI a new name, e.g. Custom-AdobeReader-9.1.2.msi.
That's it. You now have a fully patched and modified Adobe Reader installer ready for installation or application virtualization.
At this point, you should have an MSI and MST. If you want, you can use ORCA to merge the MST into the MSI. If you're using Setup.exe, you're going to have to change th Setup.ini file.
To test that everything works, you can copy the files to a test directory and perform the following command: msiexec /a <AdobeReader.msi> [/t <Your_transform.mst>] Replace with the name of your MSI file and optionally, pass in your transform (definitely do this if you made a separate MST!). If all goes well, the installation should go well, too. During sequencing, you will still get an MSI installer error (actually, 2), number 1406, about not being able to write to two registry keys. These were the registry keys we added in the steps above. This does not happen on normal installatons.
Please also note that I don't know whether the roaming user profile problem menioned in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404597.html is fixed in version 9.1.2. It was not fixed as of 9.1.0.163. This is all posted AS-IS. YMMV.
UPDATE:
In case you don't know, I will share a bit of enlightenment I had with my procedure above. This specifically relates to application virtualization and sequencing Adobe Reader for MS App-V.
In step 4, I had you install Adobe Reader on a clean machine and obtain some registry information because otherwise, the installation may not be successful for virtualization. These steps are unneccessary. Here's why: you cannot "patch/upgrade" vitualized applications within the application itself. To patch/upgrade a virtual application, you have to use (in the case of MS App-V) the Application Virtualization Sequencing MMC to load the virtualized app, then run the upgrade/patch so that MS App-V can detect the changes and properly update the package. So what does this mean? Two things. First, whenever I use the ACW, under the Online and Acrobat.com Features section I always uncheck <b>Disable all updates</b>. However, checking this does not necessarily mean Adobe Reader does not install the Adobe Update Manager (AUM); in fact, it does install AUM, which is the feature that contains the component that attempts to write those registry entries and therefore, which is causing the error.
Therefore, the solution (and what should be step 4) is to disable the installation of AUM. Now some have posted at various sites how to disable the installation of AUM by deleting a whole bunch of stuff in the MSI. This is not necessary. The steps are outlined in the new step 4 above. This should resolve sequencing issues.
UPDATE 10 July 2009 12:00:00 EST (GMT-05:00) - Pertains to virtualizing Adobe Reader only.
This doesn't work for virtualizing the application. When importing the application into MS App-V Server Management Console, the application version is still 9.1.0.163 even though the splash screen says 9.1.2. I think that my assessment is correct because of two reasons: 1) I still got the MS VC++ Runtime error when using a normal user with a roaming profile which Adobe said the latest 9.1.1 release fixed (and hence 9.1.2) (the AppData folder included) and for which Adobe's solution is a joke; 2) When I installed my "patched" Reader (as a normal install) with AUM and proceeded to go to Help->Check for Updates, the 9.1.2 update appeared in the list of updates (again, even though the splash screen said it was version 9.1.2). Adobe has got to get their patchng correct!!!
For application virtualization, I'm going to recommend that you sequence the 9.1.0 version through to completion. Then, save the sequence and close it. Then re-open the sequence project for upgrade and applythe 9.1.2 patch. Whether you can use an ACW transform on the 9.1.0 installation and then patch, that's debatable. I sure hope so. If not, perhaps there's a way I can fudge it, namely, create an MST via ACW. Then, manually create an MST with the pertinent settings via ORCA and see if that works, instead.
Having said all that, I seriously doubt this works at all even for GPSI deployment. Sorry all. Will post again when I finally get this application to sequence. Hopefully, the same principles will apply to GPSI deployment.

Uninstalling Roxio Sonic caused loss of cd burning capability in Itunes 9

I unfortunately removed all Roxio Sonic software from my Win Xp Sp3
computer
which caused an error 39 loss of cd/dvd in device manager. I applied the
microsoft registry fix involving deleting UpperFilters and LowerFilters
values for a specific regisry key mentioned
here:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314060
All my burning applications work normally such as Nero 9, Imageburn and
Deepburner except Itunes 9. When I open Itunes I get this error:"Warning
The
registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and
DVDs is missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD
burning
software. Please reinstall Itunes"
I uninstalled and reinstalled several times and also tried a repair of the
program to no avail. I also installed the latest Gearsoft drivers with the
same result.
Any suggestions that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I fixed the problem by following a fix I read elsewhere in this forum. I recreated a new UpperFilters multi string value in registry utilizing [inputing] "GEARAspiWDM" carriage return, closed the registry editor After a reboot everything is back to normal again.

Impossible to access File server shares using a DNS alias

I am currently testing migration scenarios to replace 2 standalone W2K3 File Servers into 1 W2K8R2 Failover Cluster.
Everything went very well, shares are well accessible as long as I use the new File Server names, but...
... when I try to use DNS aliases (of the old servers), It is getting a nightmare!
First, each time I tried to to connect to the shares using the alias name \\tempsf\ I got an error message prompting for Duplicate name on the network.
I solved this first issue by applying the DisableStrictNameChecking
reg key (see below). The Duplicate name error message disappeared and I was able to access to the \\tempsf\ folder but it was empty however I have 2 shares well displayed when accessing it through the real file server name. Moreover, I confirm that :
ping tempsf resolves correctly the real file server name and IP
nslookup tempsf do the same
net view \\realfileserver displays my 2 shares
net view \\tempsf doesn't display anything :-(
Then, I almost tried everything currently documented :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new DWORD value called DisableStrictNameChecking and set to 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new Multi-String value called OptionalNames. Enter one or more aliases, one per line.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters Add a new DWORD value called DisableLoopBackCheck and set to 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0 Add a new Multi-String Value BackConnectionHostNames. Enter one or more aliases, one per line.
And also the SETSPN:
setspn -A host/<your_ALIAS_name> <ServerrName>
setspn -A host/<your_ALIAS_name.domain.com> <ServerNname>
But still nothing... Launch date is approaching, I am feeling so desperate...
Any idea? please... Thanks in advance,
Max
PS : Ahh yes, one more thing, we are using a third-party DNS here (Infoblox) but I don't think it could be the issue.

Hello,
Configure my new File Server (new name, new IP)
Shutdown the old File Server
Map the mirrored SAN disk to the new File Server
Mount Storage and create shares (previously exported from old FS)
Update Alias to point to point to new FS (in Infoblox)
Update Reg keys, setspn and netdom as explained above
Try access. Shares well displayed when using new FS name but nothing when using updated alias despite dns resolution is ok.
I also found the following doc :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2009/01/09/file-share-scoping-in-windows-server-2008-failover-clusters.aspx?PageIndex=2#comments which explain precisely the way the W2K8R2 File Servers are working but without giving any solution to my issue.
Your doc was interesting but didn't help :-(
Anyone else ? Thanks
