No Start Menu created during installation

On Vista Ultimate SP1 I installed FireFox 4.0 and choose for custom installation. Under 'Create Icons for FireFox' I only disabled 'On my Desktop'. The other two options where marked.
The icon in the Quick Launch bar is created but there is no Start Menu folder?

Did you previously had Firefox installed?
The Firefox 4 RC version is a regular release and will replace the current Firefox entry in the Start menu even if you do a custom install (haven't tested this, so I might be wrong). You can easily create a new entry in the Start menu yourself if it is missing by dragging the desktop icon to the start menu or by using Windows Explorer to create a folder structure in "C:\Users\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox" if that folder is missing.

When is ORATAB file created during Installation?

DB version:10gR2
When is ORATAB file created during installation. Is it created when we run rootpre.sh?

Hi,
Normally the path is in Oracle_home only for example,
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/root.shYou will be prompted for that while installation goes on.
@Nicolas,
Apologies for the same reply as I didnt refresh the page before posting.

No PSWCLIEnvironment file created during installation

I've installed SUNWisw and the PSWCLIEnvironment file was not created during the process.
Could anyone tell me what data the file contains as I have to create it on my own?
Tried reinstalling with the same effect.
I'm installing the following version: isw.6.0.sp1.solaris.sparc

No Icons in Start menu after the Installation of 9i

Hello,
unfortunately the installation program of developer suite 9i did not create any icons in my start menu. is there any way of installing them manualy using the installer ? or can somebody just send me them (the complete icon set including discover, reports, forms and so on...) to this email: [email protected]
Thanks in advance
regards

The icons are contained within the executales. To create an icon for Forms, just select to create a shortcut for the Forms ifbld90.exe file and this will have the Forms icon. There is a folder in the Explorer that contains all program icons that are accessible from the start menu. Just drag and drop your short cut into it.
I would suggest to rerun the installer if not already done.

When oraInst.loc file is created during installation on linux ?

* QUES during installation :*
Is this really true ?
When executing orainstRoot.sh , It creates the inventory pointer file (/etc/oraInst.loc).
In my case , " the file was created before executing orainstRoot.sh "
+ As far as I know , end of the installation only we are running orainstRoot.sh script .+
+ before running that the orainstRoot.sh script , i checked here ..+

Synonym AREA created during installation?

I have a client software application that uses the synonym "AREA" for one of its tables. We already have AREA as a synonym of a system table. Was that created by Oracle during the database installation? We have Oracle Enterprise 10.2.0.3.0. A year ago we didn't have this problem and the software vendor says they have always used AREA as a synonym.

QL> select * from dba_synonyms where synonym_name = 'AREA';

Where do we use the three users created during BPC installation

Hi Experts,
I just want to know where we use the three users we create during installation. Because without AppSet the users cannot log in.
Though we map three different domain users in "UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS", except the user BPC_SYSADMIN, I think we cannot use the other users without assigning the Appset. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bobby

ok I think there is some confusion here and that we are not all talking of the same thing...
there are ABAP users, and there are Windows users (or in the case of 7.5, possibly CMS users).
the ABAP users are used exclusively by the .Net server to connect to the ABAP server. They are never used to login from a client machine.
The Windows (or AD or CMS) users are used to login to the clients.
The .Net server will authenticate those logins from the clients, will then look in the tables in ABAP to check the rights of that user, and then take action based on those steps. If the user is authenticated and has the required rights to the appset, then the .Net server will perform the actions that the windows user is requesting. To perform those actions, it will connect to the ABAP server under one of the 3 ABAP accounts as described earlier
so if the user is in Admin and for example wants to process a dimension, the .Net server will use ABAP account BPC_admin to connect to ABAP and take action.
if the user is in BPC for Excel and wants to input data in a schedule, the .Net server will connect using BPC_user to ABAP server and take action.
in other words, those 3 accounts are completely transparent to the client side, are never used on the client side, and can be consider as internal to the server, as they are used only between servers.
once BPC is installed, only the windows account that was used to install the .Net componenet will have access. That account can be used to install the admin client and to login to the admin client. From there, other windows accounts can be given rights to BPC.
I hope this helps and clarify
best regards

ThinkVantage App installs won't create start menu shortcuts

I have Win7 x64 RTM on my T500 switchable graphics model. This was a clean install with everything wiped from everything on the system (including TPM data and fingerprint data) beore the Win7 install. System Update works fine. I didn't have the newest BIOS on the system when i installed Win7, but I did before I installed the apps that system update pushed yesterday (October 22).
However, so far only the Access Connections program has created a Start Menu entry. Everything else (fingerprint software, power manager and even system update) has not and I had to create the shortcuts manually.
Is anyone else seeing this? Does anyone from Lenovo have an idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
Thanks.

I suggest you install CSS 8.3 before installing the fingerprint software. Here's the location for the file: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-73696

J2EE server does not start during installation

Hi,
I am installing WebAS JAVA 640 (NW04 SR1) on a Windows 2003/MSSQL server. I am using JAVA SDK 1.4.2_9. The installation stops at step 24/25 whereby the installer waits for the J2EE engine to start. After making 3 attempts to start the J2EE server, the installation process just hangs and I have to Cancel the installation.
BTW, I am specifying a heap size of 1024 MB and using the "Database Only" option as UME data store during installation.
Having checked the trace and log files, it seems the UME service fails to start, throws an exception and the message "the start of a core service failed, Web AS will not start".
According to the information available <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/20/361941edd5ef23e10000000a155106/content.htm">here</a>, I have checked the settings and it seems that option 2, <b>"User or group data is missing"</b> is causing the problem since database content of UME is missing. I have tried selecting entries from table UME_STRINGS but this table is empty.
Now, the same link says that I should login to UME web application as SAP* but the problem is that without the J2EE engine starting up, I cannot login and create missing users/groups.
Any ideas???
Regards
Shehryar

Thanks to all who replied. I have actually tried all options suggested like waiting for retries until the box appears, trying to manually start the server, and reducing heap size. None worked for me. For your information, I have a 2.4 GHz machine with 4GB RAM so I think heap size should not be an issue. I checked SAP Note regarding heap size issues in Win 2003 but that does not seem to apply in my case since my system does not behave abnormally with JVM settings.
Thanks again and I'll give it another shot.
Regards
Shehryar

Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?

Why doesn't my TestStand deployment installation show up under my Windows start menu of my target machine?
I have successfully installed working deployments to target machines. However, I was expecting to see the installation listed as "My TestStand System A" in my start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?
Also, if I peform a different second deployment to the target station like "My TestStand System B", all of the LabVIEW files from my previous installation for "My TestStand System A" disappear from the target directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand System A).
I am using TestStand 4.2.1 Professional on the development station with Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Paul,
That solved my second problem and inspired me to search deeper for the answer to my first problem. The answer is in the "Distributed Files" tab, "installer properties", "Create a Program Item" checkbox:
Wouldn't it be nice if this was automatically checked by default for the main sequence files? Wouldn't it also be nice if "Upgrade Code" was automatically regenerated by default whenever we saved the *.tsd file under a different name?
Thanks again,
Eugene

Creating desktop shorcut and start menu entry using java

Hey Guys
I have a requirement in which i will need to install a desktop application .After installing i will need to created desktop shortcut icon and start menu entries.
I have worked very less with desktop application and hence i need some help in figuring out how to achieve this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chetan

George ,
Thanks for ur reply .Just to give you some background on this one.
We were using Java web start to do the installation and it used to take care of creating the shortcut icon and start menu entries.
The problem is that we have decided to move away from java web start and use the exe approach of installing .We wrap our JAR files in an exe and make use of Launch4j. See - launch4j.sourceforge.net/ .
The launch4j software helps in bundling all our JARs into an exe and when the exe is clicked it invokes a class present in our JAR file .However it does not create any icons because of which we will need to do that manually.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks
Chetan

B1DE Advanced setup and creating UDO object during installation

Hi,
I am developping addons on B1 2007B and use the B1DE advanced setup package.
Is there a way in the CustomInstallerClass to connect to the B1 Application to create UDO tables ?
Regards,
Grégory

Hi Gregory,
Tables and UDOs creation in DI API should not be done during installation. You should do that in your addon after connecting to the DI API.
You need some code in your addon checking whether the UDT, UDF, UDOs,... already exist, if they don't exist then you create them. You can manage that with a user table were you can keep the current version of your installed addon, this way you can know whether you need to create/update something in your Db every time you start your addon or not.
Regards,
Trinidad.

Cannot create Folder and then add AppV sequenced apps in the Start menu

Hi,
I have managed to sequence the apps properly using the App-V 5.0 SP2 sequencer. But after adding the package and publishing it globally, when i mount the package in my App-V client machine, it creates a direct application shortcut in the Start menu. What
I want is to create all the App-V sequenced apps in a Folder in start menu so that users do not get confused by the overwhelming list of apps. Please suggest if there is a way possible.
Thanks!

Hi
I managed to install App-V client on a new server and mount the package again.
But still I can't seem to get it work the way I want. I want to see a Folder in the start menu hosting my App-V apps. Even though I have given the same setting in the APP-V management server, it still publishes the app directly in the start menu. I can't
understand how else to test this. What am I missing? Pls point me correctly
Ben
De Vriese & Tiberivs
Find some screenshots for better understanding the issue.
Also when i try the Publishing server URL from my client machine or any machine, I get the below output. Has this got something to do with the problem I am facing? Is it able to load the changes that I am doing, any SQL permissions problem?
<?xml version="1.0"?>

error message-The installer has insufficent privileges to modify this file:C:\Program Data\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\iTunes\.iTunes.ink
How do I correct this to download iTunes so it will run?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Have recently had problems with itunes freezing on me so having done various things to rectify it im now going to try to create a new user account but where the heck do you find the start menu ?

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
