Need to install an application that is dependent on variable input

Hi
So I am working on a deployment that installs an application. The environment that this application is installed in varies. So the user must be able to enter variable values in the first splash screen that appears. And the installation should pick up these
variables and use them as parameters for the installation. I handle this as follows:
1. Prompt the user for the variable value at the beginning of the winPE phase(The screen where you select TS, enter admin password etc)
2. Create an Run command line step in the TS and run the following command line:
.\applications\Setup.exe /Variable1=%VariableFromWinPEHere%
Is this possible in MDT? As I am used to work with SCCM.
If this is not the way to approach it, how should i approach it?
Also bonus question: How do I get MDT 2013 to prompt for a variable that is available through the whole OS installation?
Thanks!

Thank you for you reply :)
As you say "Once you create an MDT variable it will be available throughout the entire MDT build."
How exactly do I create an MDT variable? And how do I get it to prompt for it during the winPE phase?
Can I just put in an empty put in an empty "Set TS variable" step in the TS and MDT will prompt the user for the value?
I am looking for something like collection variables in SCCM 2007. When you left the variable without any value it would prompt you for it before executing the TS. Also I need these prompts to appear based on what TS you choose.

  • Need to install oracle application server

    i need to install oracle application server. so plz tell me how can i do this ,and i dont know about the oracle application server achitechture.
    plz provide some links ..so that i can understand
    developers are asking me to install oc4j container

    There are installations guides for the various Oracle Application Server offerings. So my first suggestion would be to have a look around relevant documentation section of OTN and see what you can learn.
    As you've mentioned OC4J, that does indicate you are looking at Oracle Application Server 10g:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver10132.html
    If you are looking for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, then this is the main page to start from:

  • After installing an application that was created using the Application Builder

    After installing an application that I created using the Application Builder I get this error if I try to run " ANY " LabVIEW App's that I have built. "Executable Version 7.1.1 doesn't match Resource File 7.1. Check your configuration."
    The way that I tried to fix this is to reload LabVIEW 7.1 and DAQmx 8.0. I am using two NI-6528 switch cards.
    After I reload LabVIEW and DAQmx I can run my applications but as soon as I install one on this development machine the error begins again.
    The executable that I built works fine on the development machine and any other machine that I try it on but it appears that the Run-Time engine 7.1 becomes corrupt after I run setup.exe for the newly created application.
    I have built numerous Installers, setup.exe's in the past without this error. Just this latest one caused this problem to start.
    I can NOT upgrade to 7.1.1. I am doing work for many different sections of this factory and I can not force them to upgrade. I've asked. Others supply code for the same machines using LabVIEW 7.1.
    I am stuck creating executables and manualing moving the correct files to the target machines.
    What can be done?

    No. The KB article was talking about a machine with 7.1.1 installed. I have LabVIEW 7.1 installed.
    The machine that I am having trouble with is my development machine. LabVIEW 7.1, DAQmx 8.0.
    If I build the executable all is fine. I can still run old executables including the one I just built.
    If I create the installer all is fine. I can still run old executables including the one I just built.
    When I install the app on my development machine the corruption occurs. I can " NOT " run old executables including the one I just built. The subject error pops up.
    I have not moved any executables to the other machines yet. I don't want to corrupt others.

  • Hello.  I just upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.3.  I was previously running 10.5.7 which included the ENTOURAGE application.  how do I retrieve needed information from this application that no longer runs on this new system?

    Hello.  I just upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.3.  I was previously running 10.5.7 which included the ENTOURAGE application.  how do I retrieve needed information from this application that no longer runs on this new system?

    The file you'll be looking for that has most of what you're looking for - messages, address book, etc. is the Entourage Database.  The verison of Microsoft Office I run (on Lion) is Office 2008.  By default the Entourage Database for this verison is at user/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/Main Identity/Database.  That folder (Main Identitty) also has your rules, signatures, and such.  You'll have to recover this file from whatever backup you have.  If you have a different version of Entourage, the file location will be a little diffferent.
    Good luck

  • HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS.  Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

    My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas.  I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one.  However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13.  Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely.  I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw). 
    Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod.   I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer.  I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not.  I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour.  He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck! 
    Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8.  I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums.  So...my question is:  Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what?  I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved.  Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

  • Need advice for an application that restricts access to other applications using a smart card

    Hello everybody,
    I am developing a system that uses a smart card reader attached to a USB port of a PC.
    What the system should provide is:
    When computer boots up and shows the users login screen, a user, previously registered, can use his smart card to access the system, instead of entering his password
    Once the user is logged in, when he tries to launch an application, which has previously marked as "secured", a dialog box is shown indicating that the user has to present his smart card. If the smart card has access to the application, the application
    is launched, otherwise an error message is shown to the user and the application is not executed.
    I develop in C++ and C#. I have already created a library (in Visual C++) that manages the smart card reader and provides the card presented to it.
    Now I am developing the applicastion (in C#) that will configure the security (assigning cards to users and applications).
    Concerning this, I have 2 questions regarding each point above:
    Is it possible to create the centralized application that lists all users and allows to assign cards to them? Then, when the users login screen is shown, the system must access that data before logging in, so that it can check which card was presented and
    what user it corresponds to. I have seen in laptops, that have embedded fingerprint readers, a user must login to his account first and then he can register his fingerprints. In fact, what I need to do is something similar but with smart card reader instead
    of fingerprint reader. So, perhaps, user must login into his account first and then he will be able to add his card and store that information somewhere (in windows registry maybe).
    How can I launch my application when other application is executed but before its interface is actually shown? this is similar to what antivirus programs do, because they check the executable before it is actually ran. What is the best method to address
    the application? by executable file name? process name? or other? if the best is by process name, how can I know the process name without actually running the application?
    Well, that is all what I need to do. Please advice regarding this subject.
    I look forward to hearing from you,
    Best regards,
    Jaime

    > what was the guidance?
    1. Research other software that does similar things (not just exactly the same) as you need. If you like something in their solutions, copy it :)
    The only software I know that does that is an antivirus, but I am unlucky to find some code in c++ that allows to intercept the program execution before actually executing it.
    2. If a kernel driver would fit in your solution, go for it (google for what is available for free, or find a consultant to write it for you).
    There are a lot of information about kernel drivers, but the question is, is that really the solution?
    Otherwise, you can just hide the application from user's reach and substitute the executable in shortcuts, etc. to run your program instead.
    Definetly this is not the way to go
    What is the best method to address the application? by executable file name? process name? or other?
    By executable file name, like in the Windows Applocker, I think. Processes do not have names (they are artifact of Task manager and debugging tools, to represent the processes for user somehow). Or, only by the filename part of the full path.
    I agree with that
    if the best is by process name, how can I know the process name without actually running the application?
    When the user runs the application, the driver will detect this and do its magic.
    I have found this page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3556048/how-to-detect-win32-process-creation-termination-in-c. They mention WMI, but I will study it tommorow... it is so late for today :-)

  • Help needed in installing orale application 11.5.10 on Linux

    Hi
    i am getting some problems.
    I have dump of entire oracle applications software in my hard disk. I doesn't have DVD's. And i think i doesn't need to run perl script before installing appliations. When i install oracle applications from hard disk .. it gives me a successful installation . But later i am unable to connect to database or and linux is unable to recognize the sql command or envionment variables are not working. I am trying to install on stand alone machine. Please help me out/???
    thanks in advance.

    I create soft links via ln -s to the environment scripts:
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 43 2005-02-10 20:29 vis9.env -> /lv03/oracle/vis9db/9.2.0/vis9_socrates.env
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 applmgr appl 33 2005-02-10 20:27 vis9.env -> /lv03/oracle/vis9appl/APPSORA.env
    So in oracle user home directory, I type ln -s /lv03/oracle/vis9db/9.2.0/vis9_socrates.env vis9.env
    Then just type . vis9.env to take on the database environment as the oracle user.
    In the applmgr home directory, I type ln -s /lv03/oracle/vis9appl/APPSORA.env vis9.env
    Then just type . vis9.env as applmgr, to assume the applications environment. You will need to be in this environment to start/stop the applications.
    cd to $OAD_TOP/admin/scripts/*
    to stop:
    ./adstpall.sh apps/apps
    to start:
    ./adstrtal.sh apps/apps

  • I need to install an App that will work with my iOS. How do I get an earlier App that is not now in the App Store?

    I have an iPod Touch that can only run iOS 3.1.3. I have had Zinio & PressReader (both free Apps) installed on it for many years, and subscribe to a number of Magazines and Newspapers. I had backed up the iPod in September 2012. Today, I had to restore the iOS from the backup, but saw that Zinio and PressReader had not been installed. I am aware that the iTunes store explains that the latest versions are for iOS 4.3, but I need the latest version that will work with my iPod on iOS 3.1.3.
    Does anyone know how I can get hold of the earlier versions of the "ipa" files, short of asking the publishers themselves?
    And, should I expect the Publishers to release the appropriate ipa to me?

    You aren't being left in any lurch. Your hardware is obsolete, and the software world has moved on. If you have a qualm about the matter then discuss it with the software's developers. Apple is not responsible for software they do not develop. This is technology, and you will just need to get used to it.

  • Need Help With An Application That Produces Live Images Within Tilelists

    At the moment I have an application which is meant to produce live thumbnail images of websites. Currently how it does this is a html component (myhtml) loads websites via it's location property changing from website to website and upon fully loading of each site a "snapshot" is taken of the html component and saved as a bitmap and applied as the source of an image corresponding to that particular site (abcnewsimage and bbcnewsimage). However I now need to insert these snapshots within the 'icon' properties of 2 array collections (myTilelistAArrayCollection and myTilelistBArrayCollection) which act as dataproviders to populate 2 tilelists (mtTilelistA and myTilelistB).
    Basically I need the same images to appear automatically within the tilelists the way they do in the 2 images as the snapshots are taken by applying the same bitmaps into the currently empty 'icon' properties of the 2 tilelists i.e. the icon of the ABC News Item of both array collections must be the same as the abcnewsimage and appear as it appears and the same for the BBC News Item icon being the same as the bbcnewsimage picture as that appears.
    It should look like the images are appearing in the tilelist at the same time as they are appearing in the regular images. What will I need to put into the icon properties to do this?
    I hope this makes sense and if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated. :-)

    Cheers Flex harUI. From what I can see superimage is mainly used to keep images at better quality. What I'm concerned with is having the images set within the 'icon' properties of the 2 tilelists AS they are set within their specific images. I've tried databinding by doing this for example:-
    {id:
    "ABC New Item", label:"ABCNews", icon:"{abcnewsimage.source}"},
    I hoped that would cause the icon field of the array collection to be populated by the source of the abcnewsimage so that as the abcnewsimage is populated by the snapshot that is taken of the abcnews website the icon field of the abc news item in the array collection would be too so that furthermore the tilelists would then be populated by these images. Basically as each snapshot appears in it's specfic image it needs to be loaded into the icon property of the array collection too. In the end the icons should look as if they are appearing within both the tilelists the same way as they are appearing within the images if that makes sense. The images should be loading within the tilelist one at a time as they are in the regular image components.
