Old "Latest" Product installations, startup tasks and mars release

Hello,
since mars release, the startup task tries to install from the Mars-Updatesite into a Luna Eclipse (and fails because of conflicting dependencies).
I guess this is because I chose "Latest (Luna)" during install. With the Mars release this was automagically changed to "Latest (Mars)", I had to change the installation.setup manually to "Luna" to fix the update failure during startup and stay at Luna.
Is oomph supposed to be able to upgrade eclipse to the next release? Otherwise it might be better if this property does not change on its own (and it might be wise to ask the user anyways beforehand as this might cause other trouble).

Hi Johan,

Cheers

I suspect you didn't really pick "Luna" but "Latest Release (Luna)". To clarify that, can you please attach the XML
content of your installation.setup file? There's an "Open in Text Editor" action in the context menu when you have the
Installation Setup file open.
"Latest Release (Luna)" means "Install Luna now and always update to the latest release". And of course the latest
release has now changed to be Mars.

No, that only impacts a possible PDE target platform.

  • Windows 8 installation of VPN Client Software (x86 64-bit version) results in "Icon09DB8A851.exe" on startup task

    I've just installed a VPN Client Software for x86 64-bit version of Vista and Windows 7 (vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0440-k9.exe) to Windows 8.  It's working without problem except that it seems to add an entry "c:\Windows\Installer\{5FDC06BF-3D3D-4367-8FFB-4FAFCB61972D}\Icon09DB8A851.exe" onto startup task. I suspect the installer program (InstallShield) is not working properly.  I'd like to know if anyone has same issue or my computer got infected in malware.

    You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc

  • Enabling Installation of CS3 and CS4 products that will not install on Windows 7 64Bit.

    Adobe installers are not known for their helpful or forgiving ways & I have more than once had to reinstall Windows when installation of CS3 and CS4 products has failed with patently inscrutable errors.
    The background to the current issue that I was attempting to install PS CS4 on a W7 system which already had CS CS3 installed. The CS4 installer threw up inscrutable messages indicating  that the installation could not proceed and to contact Adobe (they are joking right ? Their phone & web support is notoriously UN-helpful).
    After reading through threads suggesting that I uninstall CS3, apply CS3 and CS4 cleaning scripts I was in exactly same position I have found myself in on least 2 occasions with WinXP. By this time I couldn't event get CS CS3 to reinstall!
    Then I decided to review the event log and found a number of installer events thrown up by the Adobe installers resembling "Error 1402. Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\xxxxxxxx".
    I tracked down this very helpful solution which allowed me to change the registry permissions on the parent key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\ Components and propagate the new permissions down to the child keys.
    http://www.okino.com/conv/changing_windows_registry_permissions.htm.
    My advice is to follow instructions for "A More All-Encompassing Solution" and propagate the permissions right down to all the child keys as I could see a number of separate adobe installer errors in the event log. Also note the instruction to change the Owner from 'System' to 'Administrators' in Advanced settings. This is necessary in order for the Permissions change to be accepted and replace all the child object permissions.
    As with most registry changes good advice to backup your registry hive first (although I didn't; by this time I was already expecting to have to reinstall Windows) and restart your system after making the registry changes before attempting to install  / reinstall CS3 or CS4 products.
    Hope this solution works as well for others as it did for me as the Adobe support on this issue has been next to useless.
    [P.S. Q: Did you hear the joke about the guy who worked on product installation at Adobe rocking up at job interview with 'Adobe Installation Project Team' on his Resume? A: That that is the joke! If you wanted another job in installation development you would hardly admit to experience at Adobe ;)]

    We don’t want people messing with the registry when they don’t need.
    My apologies John I didn't realize that I was addressing the official custodian of Photoshop.
    Incidentally my advice is intended for others in a similar situation who find themselves stalled during installation and otherwise contemplating a re-installation of Windows. I believe this would be obvious to most forum participants who had actually read my original post.

    I have iWork 09 with a family license. I am unable to install the software on my new Macbook Pro (the message is simply "Installation failed"). I wonder if I need to remove an old computer from the family license, and if so, how?

    Yes, gladly. I am trying to install on a 13" MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.3. I insert the disk into the SuperDrive. The I work '09 window pops up with two icons: one Tim install and one that says "Read before you install iWork." I double-click on the "Install iWork '09" icon, and a window appears that says, "This package will run a program to determine if the software can be installed." I click "continue" and see "Welcome to the iWork '09 installer." I click on "Continue." The "read me" bullet on the left lights up, and I see "Read before you install. . . ." I click "Continue," then see the software license agreement. When I click on "Continue" again, I am asked to agree, and I do. The window then says, "Standard Install on 'Mackintosh HD" and indicates how much space the program will take.
    I click "Install," enter my password, and the installation begins. It goes through a validating phase and begins "writing files." It indicates that installation will take about 30 minutes (although that number fluctuates). After about four minutes it goes to "cleaning up." Then after just a few seconds, the "Summary" bullet on the left lights up and this message appears: "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." There is a large yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it, and a bold "The installation failed." Below that appears "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    At that point, a "Close" button is pulsating blue at the bottom of the window.
    Sorry for the tedious detail. Anything revealing there?
    Thanks!

    Hi folks,
    I tried downloading the latest OS X Mountain Lion and [after a long time... I have a slow connection] I got an error message ... We could not complete your purchase The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed.
    Everytime I retry or continue the download I just keep getting the same error message!!!
    What can I do to get my product?
    PM

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

  • Keep on getting an error when updating acrobat XI to the latest version, have uninstalled the product, re-installed it and the error is still popping up. Running Win 7 64bit

    Sorry for the long description, have been trying to update my Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, when using the update tool I get an error that suggests for me to uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it, have done that 2 times, don't want to do it again. Why am I having this issue? I used to have PDF pro and got rid of it in favor of Acrobat, now I am starting to think this was not such a good move...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    The uninstall is a last resort. Just download the update from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and manually do the update. For AA XI, you can go directly to 11.0.07 (not the case for earlier versions). Be sure you are logged in as the administrator and have anti-virus disabled.

    I need to write a MDX query to show the latest product text again historical facts or a chosen product text in time. I can write this query in TSQL, but new to MDX.
    The way I do it in TSQL is joining two queries together on the Natural Key as opposed to the surrogate key.
    Can this be done in MDX. I know I could write two separate MDX queries, one which get the product text I wan and the other to get the measure with the actual product text and Natural Key, and use a lookup function in ssrs to show the two result sets I the
    same tablix by looking up the Natural Keys. But this should be able to be done in one query shouldn't it.
    In the dsv the fact knows to join to the dimension using the surrogate key.
    Thanks J

    Hi Jamster,
    According to your description, you want to write a query to show the latest product text, right?
    In MDX, we can use LastNonEmpty function to return the lastest member winth a dimension. LastNonEmpty is an aggregation function available in the Enterprise version of SQL Server. However, you can create your own with a little bit of recursive MDX. Here
    is a sample query for you reference.
    With Member Measures.LastHits as
    iif(isempty(Measures.Hits),
    ([Date].[Year Month Day].prevmember,
    Measures.LastHits
    ),Measures.Hits)

    If this is not what you want, please provide us the detail structure of your cube and the expected result, so that we can make further analysis and give you the exactly MDX query.
