Providing downloadable .exe file for clients

Currently, we have an application that is hosted on a VM in azure, and we provide a download for an executable file that is signed by our code-signing certificate and then a link is provided to users. The .exe file is in a Download folder found on
the Server within the File system where the web application is stored.
We need to move this application to a Web Role and would like to know how to provide the executable file to clients when we change our application to a web role. I'm not sure which way is the best way to provide this. Any help would be appreciated.

You could create an Azure storage account and container, then upload the your .exe file as a blob to the container. Your web application could then provide your users with a link to download the file like this:
https://yourstorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/yourcontainer/app12234.exe

Safari not downloading exe files for vista

The only problem I have with Safari is that it won't save downloaded exe files. As the download finalizes, an error box pops up.
"Windows found that this file is potentially harmful.
To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file."
I went to the Windows Security control panel to see if I could turn it off. However, it only offers help for Internet Explorer. Any help is graciously appreciated.

The hatter is correct. Safari uses the Windows "attachment manager" interface to allow virus checkers and other security software to validate downloaded files.
More info on the attachment manager:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883260
It is likely that a virus checker (or related software like Windows Defender) is flagging the files as being infected or otherwise harmful. You might want to check the AVG and Windows Defender logs to see if they indicate any problems.
Another possibility would be that your system is configured through group policy or via the registry to flag these files as high-risk, which disallows them from being opened. Refer to the Microsoft KB article above for more information.

How do I install Netgear XE102 on my iMac? It will not install off of the cd provided it appears to be only for Windows based computers. Checked Netgear website and could not find a setup.exe file for Mac.

Unable to install Netgear XE102 on my iMac. Checked Netgear website and could not find a setup.exe file for Mac.

That means either no software needs to be installed on a Mac or the product is incompatible with Macs. Contact NetGear tech support for help.

Hello,
There is a tool that you can download called JavaExe. It will make an executable of your java class. The class must have a main method. Just google for it and follow the instructions. I have tried it, it does work well.

Unable to download exe files after unblocking, 404 error. handler mappings execute change prevent infopath, export to excel, and sharepoint designer from working.

I removed .exe from the block list, checked MIME types, all ok,
I followed this solution: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010setup/thread/b380a13e-a15f-4e32-98cd-12747538ad20?prof=required
( go into IIS (I am assuming IIS 7.0) and select the particular web site and click
handler mappings and Edit feature permissions and
uncheck the Execute box .)
It works, I can now open exe files. But it causes other major troubles so far:
-Cannot Export Lists to Excel
-Cannot Publish and Save InfoPath forms
-Cannot edit subsites in SharePoint Designer.
Does anybody have another solution that won't disable other features? What is the best way to do it? I have SolidWorks Edrawings in .exe that needs to be accessible.
Thank you.

Hi Guillaume,
As you know, if we remove the Execute permission for handle mappings, we will be able to download .exe file from SharePoint server. But as you said, this will cause other issues.
The another solution to allow to download .exe file is remove the CGI-exe handle mapping from the handle mappings directly. You may need to restart Internet Information Server(IIS). After that, we will be able to download .exe file directly.
Open the IIS manager
Select the site from the "Sites" tree
Double-click "Handle Mappings"
Right-click "CGI-exe", and then click "Remove"
Thanks,

Resorting to QTInstaller.exe file for PC use

It's looking like I'll have to resort to asking PC end-users to install Quicktime Player in order to view a .mov file created on my mac. I've downloaded the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file for Windows. It obviously doesn't open on my mac, but if I burn both the .mov file and the .exe file onto the CD/DVD for my end-users, is it safe to assume that they'll be able to install Quicktime pretty easily?
Again, I hate to have to do it this way, but I'm not getting anywhere yet with the other avenues I've explored.

I cannot download exe files. I have no trouble downloading files with other extensions (ex: dta).

I have an HP Pavilion dm4-2070us computer running Windows 7. I have the same problem with internet explorer and with Firefox. The file seems to download but never finishes; it is not in my downloads folder.

Hello number1stat, try to temporarily disable your antivirus software and see if that helps, if it does not work then try the following. This can occur if you have customized your Internet Options Security settings for the Internet zone, if the option, "Launching applications and unsafe files" is set to "Disable". Method 1: Reset your Security settings for the Internet zone to the default level. Go to "Control Panel -> Internet Options" (or use "Start -> Run -> inetcpl.cpl -> OK" to open "Internet Properties") then click the Security tab, select the Internet zone and click "Default level" Method 2: Set a custom level for security in the Internet zone. Go to "Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security (tab) -> Internet". If security is set to "High", or if you have customized the Internet zone settings, select "Custom level..." and change the single option, "Launching Applications and Unsafe Files" from 'Disable' to 'Prompt (recommended)'. If executable file downloads fail from certain sites but you are able to download exe files from other sites, check in "Internet Options -> Security - > Restricted sites -> Sites" to make sure that the problem site is not in the "Restricted sites" list, as the security level for that zone is High by default. Some Security software, including Spybot S&D, add known malware sites to that listing.

How to create a .exe file for a java application

Hi, I want to create a .exe file for a java application I am developing so that I can schedule it to run at a particular time using Windows Scheduler on WinNT. Is there any way to accomplish this? Or is there any other way in which a Java application can be scheduled to run at a particular time on Windows everyday?

Create a .bat file and run that. Just have, in the .bat file:
java YourClassName Alternatively, you can use javaw YourClassName (without *.bat, just put it into Windows Scheduler like suggested above).
using javaw won't pop up any window...

Cannot preview filetype please download the file for viewing and garbled text on a downloaded image

Dear Madam or Sir,
When I click on a file titled "Subject Access Request Letter re Account Number 12527629 Sort Code 60-10-34 24022015.pdf", which is stored in my Account on Acrobat.com I get the response "Cannot preview filetype please download the file for viewing". This file was created from an OpenOffice .odt document of the same title. Please advise.
I downloaded an image, which purports to be a .pdf, from the Royal Mail Track & Trace web facility using my Samsung S5. The text that I expect to see might as well be hieroglyphics for all its similarity to text. Please advise.
Regards,
Ron Platt
PS I have tried to attach both files (.pdf) but am advised "That image type is forbidden". Please advise.

Hi Laura,
I have found the solution to be:
   1. Not to upload to "Document Cloud" from the .pdf stored on my PC and
   open on screen.
   2. To login to Acrobat.com from the .pdf stored on my PC and open on
   screen, select "Document Cloud" and the sub-folder required and then upload
   the file
I have a feeling that there is a glitch somewhere, because after I have
opened a number of .pdf files stored on my PC, and irrespective of whether
I have closed them prior to opening the next .pdf file or left them open,
Acrobat Reader will display (Not responding) in the window title bar. The
"number of files" equates to less than 10. I, then, click on the X at the
right of the window title bar and I am given the option of "Close the
program" or "Wait until the program responds" (or words to that effect). If
i choose the latter, nothing happens and I am back at the unhappy status
quo. If I choose the former, I am told that Windows is searching for a
solution, which it never finds. I, then, have to shut down the PC and then
start it up, again. Clicking "Restart" does not solve the problem.
I have described the above before and received the usual "it cannot be
Acrobat, it is perfect" response. I could, I suppose, screenshot/snip every
sequential screen but why should I have to when I have described the
sequence as fully as I can. So I have found a "workaround" that does not
solve the "Not responding" problem but does solve the problem of not being
able to upload from the open .pdf file to the sub-folder in "Document
Cloud". I am, on occasion, working through the myriad of .pdf files that
are in the root folder of "Document Cloud" and putting them in the correct
sub-folder(s).
I have today read that Google is starting a cellphone service in the USA in
which a monthly "access" rental (US$20) is paid plus a GB capacity usage is
elected for at a rate specified, e.g. US$10.00/GB. If the subscriber does
not use the elected GB capacity Google refunds the US$value of the unused
elected GB capacity.
Suggestion: Adobe applies that kind of policy to its online software
package usage rates, e.g. I elect to subscribe to a particular level of
online software package usage monthly, but, if I do not use all of the
programs included in that online software usage package, I am credited back
for not having used the softwares, that I did not use, that were inclusive
in that online software package offer.
Regards,
Ron

How to create the exe files for java application

How to create the exe file for java application?
got any software to do that?
Thanks

In terms of converting java applications into exe files, there are 3 schools of thought:
1) Instead of converting it to an exe, convert it to a jar file. Jar files are more portable than exe files because they can be double-clicked on any operating system. The caveat is that a Java interpreter must be installed on the target computer for the double-clicking to work.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/Books/javaprogramming/JAR/
2) Create an exe launcher that, when double-clicked, attempts to find a Java interpreter on the local computer and launches the Java application. The exe file is still double-clickable but whether your java application runs depends on whether a Java interpretor is installed on the target computer.

http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/
http://www.jelude.cjb.net/
http://thor.prohosting.com/~dfolly/java/index.html
3) Create an exe launcher that bundles a Java interpretor. Same as above but when the exe file is double-clicked, it searches for a Java interpreter and if one is not found, it installs one on the target computer. The caveat is that the exe file would have an overhead of 10 MB in size for the interpreter.
http://www.excelsior-usa.com/jet.html (evaluation version available)
4) Convert the Java application into a native exe file. The caveat is that if you use Swing for your GUI, it won't be converted. Also this option is still somewhat experimental.
Can't think of any free options right now.
