Open API App (Windows based) fails to open FMB on Unix file system
My Open API, Windows based app, can successfully open and 'get' properties of FMBs stored in the Windows file system. However, it fails to load the FMB when the FMB resides on a networked Unix server. The same FMBs on Unix can be opened by the Windows based FormBuilder (over the network). I can copy the FMB down to Windows and without re-compiling the FMB, my Open API app can 'load' the FMB and 'get' all the properties. What suggestions can you give for debugging / resolving this? I need to be able to 'Load' the FMBs (through the Open API), that reside in the Unix file system, from Windows.

Generally, this is why we will tell you that accessing net shares is not supported and in places where it might even be supported, we would still suggest that it is not recommended. Accessing via net shares (especially through Windows) is often problematic. There are various performance and connectivity issues that, unfortunately fool you into believing that the product you are using is flawed when the problem is really a connection issue with the share.
In your case, because you are not exactly using an Oracle product (initially), Oracle can't offer much anyway, but I would recommend against using shares whenever possible. If you need to access a file, copy it locally first, perform whatever task on it, then return the updated file to its origin. This method protects you from things like net failure and instability as well as the performance issues associated with accessing files remotely.

When opening PT Assembler, Windows tries & fails to open NI Run-Time engine
I am using PT Assembler, a front-end for the Panorama Tools software bundle, to stitch microscope images taken by LabVIEW using the QCam Suite. Whenever I attempt to open PT Assembler, Windows informs me that it needs to configure the NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 7.1.1, which it cannot as it is not installed. After cancelling the configuration 4-5 times, my program opens and runs without errors.
PT Assembler has absolutely nothing to do with with NI or Labview as far as I can determine, so why does Windows try to open it with the run-time engine? I attempted to install the 7.1.1 engine from ni.com but was informed that it was unavailable. Is there any way I can keep Windows from attempting to use the engine? I could install a later version of the engine and hope it works, but I am a bit leery about how it might affect my program.Hi rhazelton,
If this program hasn't been created in LabVIEW, then I'm not sure why it would be doing this.. However, you should be able to download the 7.1.1 run-time here. Give it a try and see what happens!

The wizard fails with: windows setup failed to open distribution share d:\ds (..etc)
I am running it from a USB disk that has over 4GB free space, all the other files and folders are shown in the DS folder ok
Please advise what i should do here?
Does the drive need to be a certain format? its FAT32 at the moment (not NTFS, so no security)
I have tried copying the contents of the wes7-ibw iso to another USB drive and the same thing happens.I solved it : setup failed to open distribution share d:\ds ... error 0x8007000 /0x8007003
the cause I assume there is something strange about the CD file format on that disk.
I first created a bootable usb (diskpart) then as i didnt had software to do it all in once
i converted the original CD to iso, and used other software to burn an ISO as bootable CD on usb.
( i used iso to usb for that its free )
i ve tried it with the usb as fat32 and (using convert converted fat32 to NTFS (stayed bootable).
I even tried different hard disks no difference same error.
Each time same error.
Then in the end i noticed the folder content of the DS folder on USB and CD wasn't equally.
So then i copied directories one by one over their existing USB counterparts
After that it worked...
Maybe the CD isnt folowing some CDrom standards, or uses a rarely used format; not wel recognized by common CDrom tools -

Here is what I am running:
Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
I am a user with administrator rights
UAS is disabled.
To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
Test Cases:
All cases:
Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
Marking case: Solved
Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable. -
"Open method of Workbooks class failed" when opening Excel file via Internet Explorer
(apologies, I posted this first to the general Office 2010 forum, but then realized this was probably a better spot to post)
We have an Excel COM add-in installed on users' PCs. This add-in responds to workbook open events by opening a particular XLA file (also deployed to the PC) to make certain features available. This process works flawlessly when Excel files are
opened locally - but when a user attempts to open an Excel file from an IE link, we get the following error: "Open method of Workbooks class failed". This is happening on the line that is trying to open the XLA file. This only happens
when launching an Excel link from IE - works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
I have found several posts on this topic, but no solutions:
1. This post (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/73c96005-84af-4648-b103-32b677205be3/open-method-of-workbooks-class-failed)
is the closest to our problem. In this case, the "answer" was that the user may not have access to the 2nd workbook being opened. But in our case, we're opening an XLA that is on the local machine, and I've confirmed that it is not
corrupt and accessible (read & write, just in case!) to Everyone.
2. This (very old) post (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/open-method-workbooks-fails-excel-hosted-ie-t965608.html)
seems similar, but is talking about opening Excel inside of IE. This is not what we're doing - the link is supposed to (and does) open Excel outside of IE. Interestingly, Excel.exe is being launched with the "-embedded" flag, even
though it isn't running in the IE window. When launching Excel by opening the file locally, Excel.exe is run with the "/dde" flag instead. Clearly the "-embedded" mode is what is causing the problem. I could change the
links on the web page to use some JavaScript to open Excel differently... unfortunately, the links are actually generated by SharePoint (the Excel files are in a SP repository), so this is not really an option.
3. This Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268016) talks about problems opening an XLA directly from IE... but this is the case of a link pointing
directly to an XLA file, not opening a regular workbook that in turn opens an XLA, as is my case. In fact, this article specifically points out in the "More Information" section that "End users do not normally open XLAs; instead they open
an XLS that (if needed) loads one or more XLAs during startup." ==> precisely what I'm trying to do that is giving me the error!
I've replicated the situation with a very simple COM add-in (created in VS2010 using VB.Net) and a very simple XLA file (does nothing, just pops up a message in auto_open). For anyone wanting to try it out, here is the exact test case:
1. In Excel, create a simple XLA file containing only the following code, and save it in C:\TEMP\dummy.xla:
Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox "Auto Open fired"
End Sub
2. In Visual Studio, create a new Excel 2010 Add-In. I created mine via Visual Basic, but I doubt the choice of language matters. Place the following code in ThisAddin.vb:
Public Class ThisAddIn
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
AddHandler Me.Application.WorkbookOpen, AddressOf Application_WorkbookOpen
End Sub
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
End Sub
Sub Application_WorkbookOpen(ByVal workbook As Excel.Workbook)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If (Not workbook.Name.Contains("dummy.xla")) Then
MsgBox("Workbook open")
Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\dummy.xla")
Application.Workbooks("dummy.xla").RunAutoMacros(Excel.XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen)
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox(Err.Description)
End Sub
End Class
3. Build & publish this add-in and install it on the same machine as the XLA created in step 1.
4. Create and save an empty Excel workbook (I called mine WayneTest1.xlsx) - save it locally (on your desktop), and put a copy somewhere on your web server (I put mine directly in c:\inetpub).
5. Create an HTML file with a link to that workbook, saving it to the same web server location - here is mine:
<html>
<body>
<a href="WayneTest1.xlsx">Link to Excel file</a>
</body>
</html>
6. Double click the workbook on your desktop (from step 4) - opens fine, I get the "workbook open" message, following by the "Auto Open fired" message.
7. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the HTML file specified in step 5 and click on the link - when prompted, select "Open" - I get the "workbook open" message, following by the error message "Open method of Workbooks class failed".
Here are a few things I've ruled out / tried so far:
- Unchecked all the "Protected View" settings in Excel, made no difference
- Unchecked all the "File block settings" in Excel, made no difference
- Made sure dummy.xla was open for read & write to Everyone
- Made sure the web page was in Trusted sites and set the security level to Low for those sites in IE
- Tried making the local desktop file (step 6) readonly, made no difference (i.e. launching it locally still worked fine)
- Tried using Excel 2013 - made no difference
Any ideas / suggestions?Hello Wayne,
Apologies for the delay.

I have recently come back from a trip to Venice, i uploaded my photos to iPhoto to view and edit them, half way through the photos from day three of my trip it has frozen on a particular photo. I force quit the app and then re open it and it is still on the same image with the exact same problem. I am now unable to view any photos of my trip as they're all on iPhoto and i cannot access the albums because they are stuck on this one photo. I need to be able to access them by 11th March because i have a project due in about our trip and we need to include the best of our photos and at the moment i am being stopped from even looking at them. PLEASE HELP!
What version of iPhoto?
Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

After updating to Firefox 6, every time I open a second window, all I get is a blank, white page. My homepage doesn't open, either, even when I hit the home button. I have to manually type in my homepage address, and then, it's the only address that will show in the address bar, even after I leave the page or open any other tabs. The same thing happens when I open new tabs in the second window. Also, the back and forward arrows, stop, and refresh buttons do not work in the second window. None of the short-cut keys on the keyboard will work with in the second window, either. Most of the time, any page that I go to, in the second window, continues to load, never fully loading.
I even went back to Firefox 5 to see if that would solve the problem, but it didn't. I still have the same issues.
Everything appears to be working fine in the first window.
How can I clear all this up?
EDIT: I waited a few days and reinstalled Firefox 6.0 and everything seems to be working okay.There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash. The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
I don't know whether opening a Flash site in a private window makes this problem occur more frequently. Maybe it does because the new window is more isolated from the previous one??? -
Why can I not open a new window but I can open new tabs in V3.6.16?
I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on both my PC and my laptop. The program works fine on my PC, I can open both new windows and new tabs. However, on my laptop I can not open a new window. Tabs open just fine, but when I try to open a new window nothing happens. Also, when I close the program after trying to open a new window the program is still running but I have no Firefox window to work in and therefore have to go through the Task Manager to end the program. And when I re-open it, I get asked if I want to restore the session or start a new session. Is there a way to
'''Un-install''' the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem with their toolbar:

Multiple GET will cause "Add Azure API App Client" to fail
Hi,
I'm just playing around with the new Azure App Service API Apps. I've followed the documentation and created the contact list API. I've added to that and created a second GET method with an integer parameter. This works well on the local machine and when
deployed to Azure. However, when I try to add an App Client I get an enormous error. The important bit, I think, is the message 'Invalid swagger: the operation \"Contacts_Get\" is defined multiple times.' If I remove the second GET message and republish
then adding an App Client works again.
Is this a bug or is it a limitation of Swagger. The Swagger UI seems to cope with it effectively.
Cheers,
WIt has to do with how Swashbuckle is auto-generating the operation ids that appear in swagger. The Logic App designer only wants to have 1 operation for each operation id -- it doesn't like ambiguity.
I built out a library to help cope with this and other issues
over here, if you use that you can provide a unique "friendly name" for each action (which will then generate a title cased operation id for each).
In the alternative, you could write a custom operation filter to feed to Swashbuckle to override the operation ids that it is generating for you in the background. You can see how to do that
over here. -
AD FS Token issuance endpoints for Windows authentication fail to open
Hi,
I have had issue with AD FS and after turning tracing on, I realized that the AD FS endpoints to issue token based on windows authentication were all failing with an error like:
A WS-Trust endpoint that was configured could not be opened.
Additional Data
Address: https://adfsvm.dub01.local/adfs/services/trust/13/windowstransport
Mode: WindowsTransport
Error:
MSIS0006: A Service Principal Name is not registered for the AD FS service account.
I have tried to register an SPN for the AD FS service using the following command (I have found the AD FS Service Name in the Federation Service Properties as in the screenshot hereunder) but it fails with the following error.
setspn -a host/ADFSVM.dub01.local DUB01\ADFSService
Checking domain DC=dub01,DC=local
CN=ADFSVM,CN=Computers,DC=dub01,DC=local
WSMAN/ADFSVM

RestrictedKrbHost/ADFSVM
HOST/ADFSVM
RestrictedKrbHost/ADFSVM.dub01.local
HOST/ADFSVM.dub01.local
Duplicate SPN found, aborting operation!
Now I have come to realise that the Federation Service name is the same as the computer name but:
I dont know if that is an issue
I don't recall having been offered to give a particular name when installing AD FS
This is the first time I install AD FS. Is there anyone who could give me a pointer?
Thanks.
Francoisthe ADFS federation service FQDN should NOT be the same as the hostname. You will run into Kerberos issues because of duplicate SPNs as you have found
https://jorgequestforknowledge.wordpress.com/2013/09/06/duplicate-spn-breaks-trust-between-clientserver-and-active-directory/
When installing ADFS you should specify a federation service FQDN and a service account. When using the GUI to install ADFS, (if I'm not mistaken) the federation service FQDN is derived from the selected cert in the GUI. If that cert had a subject name being
the hostname, you get this scenario. Instead, install an SSL cert, a token signing cert and a token encryption cert BEFORE the installation and use powershell to install/configure ADFS as it gives you more control.
As an example see (ADFS v2):

How can I open a new window based upon input in an existing window
Hi,
I'm pretty new to LabVIEW and I've run into a slight problem that I having trouble finding information about. My LabVIEW application will present a user with several configuration options. Depending upon the options the user chooses, a new window/panel will need to appear with an entirely different set of options. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks,
AlHi Al,
you can call subvis in a case structure ("when button is true then call subvi"). In the subvi's properties you have to set "open front panel when called" and "close afterwards" (window appearance settings).
