Re: Question re use of Toshiba Application Installer

Hey all.
My model came with Toshiba Software Modem installed, but I've noticed in the Toshiba Application Installer there are a couple of other modem drivers that are a little newer. I installed one of them (Conexant) then uninstalled the Toshiba Software Modem and reboted. When it started, it reinstalled the Toshiba Software Modem by default.
So my question is, is it possible to install and use anything other than my original modem? I'm not even sure if it installed the Conexant. It looked like it did but it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs.
As I said, the Toshiba Software Modem was the original, the other two are Conexant Software Modem Driver and Motorola Modem Driver. I don't know why those other two are even in there if they can't be used with my system.
L305-S5919; Vista 32 bit
Thanks!

I read in an article about software modems (Winmodem) that said a newer driver can make a difference.
"Winmodems, unlike hardware modems, have complicated driver software. Driver upgrades can thus make a significant difference to Winmodem performance. If you use a Winmodem, check the manufacturer's Web site to see if you can get a later driver."
I have dial-up and I know it's not going to make a huge difference but I thought it wouldn't hurt to try something different, if possible. The three modem files that are available for my system are listed at the Toshiba website, but the same versions are also available in my Toshiba Application Installer.
I don't really understand software modems. I've got Toshiba Software Modem by Agere, but I don't really know if that's the modem or the driver or both. Do the Toshiba L models even have modem hardware? And I don't get why those other two drivers are in my Toshiba Application Installer and are listed at the website as compatible with my system if they're useless.
Maybe the Agere is the modem and the other two are drivers for it?
In C:\Program Files\Toshiba\TOSAPINS\COMPS1, there are text files that accompany each modem driver that say, "These drivers are required for your machine to be able to fully utilize the modem."

Toshiba Application Installer/Recovery CDs won't load

I have a Tecra A9, WinXP SP3. Recently, I tried to restore my video driver by running Toshiba Application Installer, and got the following error message: "This Recovery and Applications CD is not designed to work with this machine (Portable PC). This CD is for: TECRA A9." When I tried to run the Application Recovery CDs, I got the same error message. I checked the registry, and the only mention of the string "Portable PC" was in My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\SWTOS", under the key "PN". I tried changing it to "TECRA A9", but it had no effect, even after a reboot.
I called Toshiba Technical Support, and the technician was not helpful. His brilliant suggestion was to restore the machine to its state as of a few weeks before. By some miracle, I happened to have a drive image from a few weeks ago, so I backed up my mail and documents and restored the disk from the image. That did nothing. I'm still locked out of my restore disks.
Now, you may ask, why not simply get the old software from the web? Because I don't know my model number. I posted about this in the forums, a couple of months ago, and got some very helpful suggestions from the regulars here, but I don't know for sure. And that technician would not tell me what my model number was. He had my serial number and part number, and he would not tell me.
So, any suggestions as to how to get into either the Application Installer or the Recovery CDs would be most welcome.
I must add that, after my support experience, I am never buying a Toshiba again. I paid good money for a 3-year service contract, and have repeatedly found that the interest of these outsourced support personnel is in getting me off the phone as quickly as possible, not in solving my problems.

What Jerry posted before is correct. Just use the Link for the one with XP and download those drivers.
http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/tshb/board/message?board.id=brd_gen&view=by_date_ascending&message.i...
The tech on the phone couldn't give you a S#### number if your computer doesn't have one. And I assume you have looked at the label on the bottom to see if there is one.
But as Jerry said, the first part of the part number models all use the same drivers.

A665-3dv6 TOSHIBA Application Installer Help !

I accidentally removed the TOSHIBA Application Installer from the hard drive ! Is there a manual way to reach into the hidden recover partition to reinstall "TOSHIBA Application Installer" ? I need it to reinstall some of the original Toshiba apps & not for "Total Out Of Box recovery" !

If you are using windows operating system, try using windows restore and restore to a date and time prior to removing Toshiba Application Installer. Remember to properly back up any data you may have saved just in case.

The confusion (sorry) is from Toshiba not me or you! Here is the description from the Help file:A copy of your computers applications and drivers are stored on the hard drive. You can create an application disc by using the TOSHIBA Application Disc Creator.
The other one is a disc burning utility for files. I would like to back up drivers and applications without imaging.

Problem using Toshiba Software Installer for Win 7 on Satellite L750-1MT

Hello!
I have problem using Toshiba Software Installer for Win 7 on Satellite L750-1MT (PSK30E-02T002B3) with no OS preinstalled.
I do the following:
1. Install Windows 7 x64, SP1.
2. Install LAN driver (device was not recognized by Windows 6) (downloaded from [http://se.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=SE&LNG=26&userAction=S MP_RESULTS_PAGE&partNumber=PSK30E-02T002B3&serialNumber=&USER_ACTION=Serial%20number])
3. Install all Windows Updates from Microsoft
4. Run Toshiba Software Installer for Win 7 - it installs a couple of drivers and then asks to reboot.
Here is the log file for the first try (win7update.log):

Adobe Air application installation using the bundled runtime installer

Hello.
We plan to develop application for different platforms with Adobe Air and testing installing Air applications with bundled runtime installer on different platforms. It's ok with Windows and Mac OS, but we got troubles with "silent" installation on Ubuntu OS 9.10.
I tried to install Adobe Air application with bundled runtime, like in this document in part "Silent installation":
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/redist/WS485a42d56cd19641-70d979a8124ef20a34b-8000.html
using command-line:
"sudo ./MyInstaller -silent simple-air-air-application-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air"
and installation fails. Installation log looks like this:
[setup:2306][INFO] Runtime Installer begin with version 2.6.0.19140 on Linux x86
[setup:2306][INFO] Commandline is: -silent simple-air-air-1.0-SNAPSHOT.air

[setup:2306][ERR] Subprocess app installer failed (-1)
[setup:2306][ERR] Runtime Installer end with exit code 7
P.S. We tried do the same on Linux Mint 10. Everything's fine, application getting installed well.

Thanks for the reply and solution MrSykes.
I uninstalled adobe AIR and ran a file and registry cleaner to delete any left over files and installs.
Then installed the v.15 Adobe AIR beta as recommended.
The cleaners I used (ccleaner & jv16 power tools) did find some temporary install files and remnants of the Video Alchemy install.
Tried the install again and still no installation window displays.
I'm running Windows 7 on my PC and even changed the installation file compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 to no avail.
Funny that it installed fine on my notebook with Adobe AIR latest version running Windows 7.
I'm watching task manager as I'm attempting the install and videoalchemy.exe has some cpu usage then drops to zero activity.
Then Adobe AIR application Installer starts up then cycles to zero cpu activity.
I'm stumped on this one :-(
Thanks again for investing the time on my behalf.

How to use the Toshiba T icon as a shortcut to a Toshiba application

You'll have noticed the nice T icon in your address bar for this forum.
To use this distinctive icon for any shortcut to a Toshiba application or your user guide just follow these steps:
1/ Create a directory somewhere to store the icon you are about to extract.
2/ Access this forum in your browser.
3/ Go to your +Temporary Internet Files+ location (different between XP & Vista)
4/ Look for the icon with name {color:#0000ff}favicon.ico{color} alongside the name [http://forums.computers.toshiba-euorpe]
5/ Copy this file into your icons location created at step #1 and rename the file (e.g. {color:#0000ff}Toshiba-T.ico{color})
6/ On any shortcut to which you want this icon applied, simply right click on +properties+, click +change icon+ and point to your newly saved {color:#0000ff}Toshiba-T.ico{color}.
That's all.

Thanks for the kind words.
I did this with the T icon because I needed the User Guide to stand out on my desktop rather than always looking for a non-distinctive default icon.
You'd only want to do this for recognition amid icon clutter.
Cheers all.

HOWTO: Using a BC4J Application Module in an Stateless EJB Session Bean

HOWTO: Using a BC4J Application Module in an Stateless EJB Session Bean
by Steve Muench
Overview
BC4J provides automatic facilities for deploying any application module as a stateful EJB session bean. If you want to leverage the features of your BC4J application module from a stateless EJB session bean, it's not automatic but it is straightforward to implement. This howto article explains the details.
For our example, we will create a stateless EJB session bean that uses a container-managed transaction. To keep things simple, let's assume the session bean has a single public method on its remote interface named createDepartment() with the following signature:
public void createDepartment(int id, String name, String loc) throws AppException
AppException is an example of an application-specific exception that our method will throw if any problems arise during its execution.The goal of this article is to illustrate how to use the BC4J application module named com.example.hr.HRApp as part of the implementation of this createDepartment method on our stateless enterprise bean. Let's assume that the HRApp application module has a view object member named Departments, based on the com.example.hr.DeptView view object, based on the familiar DEPT table and related to the com.example.hr.Dept entity object so our view can be updateable.
Creating the Stateless Session Bean
We can start by using the JDeveloper Enterprise Bean wizard to create a new stateless session bean called StatelessSampleEJB implemented by:[list][*]com.example.StatelessSampleEJBBean (Bean class)[*]com.example.StatelessSampleEJBHome (Home interface)[*]com.example.StatelessSampleEJB (Remote interface)[list]
We then use the EJB Class Editor to add the createDepartment method to the remote interface of StatelessSampleEJB with the signature above. We edit the remote interface to make sure that it also reflects that the createDepartment method thows the AppException like this:
package com.example;
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
public interface StatelessSampleEJB extends EJBObject {
void createDepartment(int id, String name, String loc)
throws RemoteException,AppException;
}Before we start adding BC4J into the picture for our implementation, our StatelessSampleEJBBean class looks like this:
package com.example;
import javax.ejb.SessionBean;
import javax.ejb.SessionContext;
public class StatelessSampleEJBBean implements SessionBean {
public void ejbCreate(){}
public void ejbActivate(){}
public void ejbPassivate(){}
public void ejbRemove(){}
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext ctx){
public void createDepartment(int id, String name, String loc)
throws AppException {
    // TODO: Implement method here
}We can double-click on the ejb-jar.xml file in our project to see the XML deployment descriptor for the bean we just created:
<ejb-jar>
   <enterprise-beans>
      <session>
         <description>Session Bean ( Stateless )</description>
         <display-name>StatelessSampleEJB</display-name>
         <ejb-name>StatelessSampleEJB</ejb-name>
         <home>com.example.StatelessSampleEJBHome</home>
         <remote>com.example.StatelessSampleEJB</remote>
         <ejb-class>com.example.StatelessSampleEJBBean</ejb-class>
         <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
         <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
      </session>
   </enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>We need to add the extra <assembly-descriptor> section in this file to indicate that the createDepartment method will require a transaction. After this edit, the ejb-jar.xml file looks like this:
<ejb-jar>
   <enterprise-beans>
      <session>
         <description>Session Bean ( Stateless )</description>
         <display-name>StatelessSampleEJB</display-name>
         <ejb-name>StatelessSampleEJB</ejb-name>
         <home>com.example.StatelessSampleEJBHome</home>
         <remote>com.example.StatelessSampleEJB</remote>
         <ejb-class>com.example.StatelessSampleEJBBean</ejb-class>
         <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
         <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
      </session>
   </enterprise-beans>
   <assembly-descriptor>
      <container-transaction>
         <method>
            <ejb-name>StatelessSampleEJB</ejb-name>
            <method-name>createDepartment</method-name>
            <method-params>
               <method-param>int</method-param>
               <method-param>java.lang.String</method-param>
               <method-param>java.lang.String</method-param>
            </method-params>
         </method>
         <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
      </container-transaction>
   </assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>
Aggregating a BC4J Application Module
With the EJB aspects of our bean setup, we can proceed to implementing the BC4J application module aggregation.
The first thing we do is add private variables to hold the EJB SessionContext and the instance of the aggregated BC4J ApplicationModule, like this:
// Place to hold onto the aggregated appmodule instance
transient private ApplicationModule _am = null;
// Remember the SessionContext that the EJB container provides us
private           SessionContext    _ctx = null;and we modify the default, empty implementation of the setSessionContext() method to remember the session context like this:
public void setSessionContext(SessionContext ctx){ _ctx = ctx; }We add additional constants that hold the names of the J2EE datasource that we want BC4J to use, as well as the fully-qualified name of the BC4J application module that we'll be aggregating:
// JNDI resource name for the J2EE datasource to use
private static final String DATASOURCE = "jdbc/OracleCoreDS";
// Fully-qualified BC4J application module name to aggregate
private static final String APPMODNAME = "com.example.hr.HRApp";We expand the now-empty ejbCreate() and ejbRemove() methods to create and destory the aggregated instance of the BC4J application module that we'll use for the lifetime of the stateless session bean. When we're done, ejbCreate() it looks like this:
public void ejbCreate() throws CreateException {
try {
    // Setup a hashtable of environment parameters for JNDI initial context
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(JboContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,JboContext.JBO_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
    // NOTE: we want to use the BC4J app module in local mode as a simple Java class!
    env.put(JboContext.DEPLOY_PLATFORM, JboContext.PLATFORM_LOCAL);
    env.put(PropertyConstants.INTERNAL_CONNECTION_PARAMS,DATASOURCE);
    // Create an initial context, using this hashtable of environment params
    InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(env);
    // Lookup a home interface for the application module
    ApplicationModuleHome home = (ApplicationModuleHome)ic.lookup(APPMODNAME);
    // Using the home, create the instance of the appmodule we'll use
    _am = home.create();
    // Register the BC4J factory to handle EJB container-managed transactions
    registerContainerManagedTransactionHandlerFactory();
catch(Exception ex) {
     ex.printStackTrace();
    throw new CreateException(ex.getMessage());
}and ejbRemove() looks like this:
public void ejbRemove() {
try {
    // Cleanup any appmodule resources before getting shutdown
    _am.remove();
catch(JboException ex) { /* Ignore */ }
}The helper method named reigsterContainerManagedTransactionHandlerFactory() looks like this:
private void registerContainerManagedTransactionHandlerFactory() {
SessionImpl session = (SessionImpl)_am.getSession();
session.setTransactionHandlerFactory(
    new TransactionHandlerFactory() {
      public TransactionHandler createTransactionHandler() {
        return new ContainerManagedTxnHandlerImpl();
      public JTATransactionHandler createJTATransactionHandler() {
        return new ContainerManagedTxnHandlerImpl();
}The last detail is to use the BC4J appmodule to implement the createDepartment() method. It ends up looking like this:
public void createDepartment(int id, String name, String loc)
throws AppException {
try {
    // Connect the AM to the datasource we want to use for the duration
    // of this single method call.
    _am.getTransaction().connectToDataSource(null,DATASOURCE,false);
    // Use the "Departments" view object member of this AM
    ViewObject departments = _am.findViewObject("Departments");
    // Create a new row in this view object.
    Row newDept = departments.createRow();
    // Populate the attributes from the parameter arguments.
    newDept.setAttribute("Deptno", new Number(id));
    newDept.setAttribute("Dname", name);
    newDept.setAttribute("Loc", loc);
    // Add the new row to the view object's default rowset
    departments.insertRow(newDept);
    // Post all changes in the AM, but we don't commit them. The EJB
    // container managed transaction handles the commit.
    _am.getTransaction().postChanges();
catch(JboException ex) {
    // To be good EJB Container-Managed Transaction "citizens" we have
    // to mark the transaction as needing a rollback if there are problems
    _ctx.setRollbackOnly();
    throw new AppException("Error creating dept "+ id +"\n"+ex.getMessage());
finally {
    try {
      // Disconnect the AM from the datasource we're using
      _am.getTransaction().disconnect();
    catch(Exception ex) { /* Ignore */ }
Building a Test Client
With the EJB-Tier work done, we can build a sample client program to test this new stateless EJB Session Bean by selecting the bean in the Oracle9i JDeveloper IDE and choosing "Create Sample Java Client" from the right-mouse menu.
When the "Sample EJB Client Details" dialog appears, we take the defaults of connecting to embedded OC4J container. Clicking the (OK) button generates the following test class:
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import com.example.StatelessSampleEJB;
import com.example.StatelessSampleEJBHome;
public class SampleStatelessSampleEJBClient {
public static void main(String [] args) {
    SampleStatelessSampleEJBClient sampleStatelessSampleEJBClient =
       new SampleStatelessSampleEJBClient();
    try {
      Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
      env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
              "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
      env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "admin");
      env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome");
      env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
              "ormi://localhost:23891/current-workspace-app");
      Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
      StatelessSampleEJBHome statelessSampleEJBHome =
           (StatelessSampleEJBHome)ctx.lookup("StatelessSampleEJB");
      StatelessSampleEJB statelessSampleEJB;
      // Use one of the create() methods below to create a new instance
      // statelessSampleEJB = statelessSampleEJBHome.create();
      // Call any of the Remote methods below to access the EJB
      // statelessSampleEJB.createDepartment( int id, java.lang.String name, java.lang.String loc );
    catch(Throwable ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
}We uncomment the call to the create() method and add a few calls to the createDepartment() method so that the body of the test program now looks like this:
// Use one of the create() methods below to create a new instance
statelessSampleEJB = statelessSampleEJBHome.create();
// Call any of the Remote methods below to access the EJB
statelessSampleEJB.createDepartment( 13, "Test1","Loc1");
System.out.println("Created department 13");
statelessSampleEJB.createDepartment( 14, "Test2","Loc2");
System.out.println("Created department 14");
try {
// Try setting a department id that is too large!
statelessSampleEJB.createDepartment( 23456, "Test3","Loc3");
catch (AppException ax) {
System.err.println("AppException: "+ax.getMessage());
}Before we can successfully run our SampleStatelessSampleEJBClient we need to first run the EJB bean that the client will try to connect to. Since Oracle9i JDeveloper supports local running and debugging of the EJB-Tier without doing through a full J2EE deployment step, to accomplish this prerequisite step we just need to right-mouse on the StatelessSampleEJB node in the System Navigator and select "Run". This starts up the embedded OC4J instance and runs the EJB right out of the current out path.Finally, we can run the SampleStatelessSampleEJBClient, and see the output of the test program in the JDeveloper log window:
Created department 13
Created department 14
AppException: Error creating dept 23456
JBO-27010: Attribute set with value 23456 for Deptno in Dept has invalid precision/scale
Troubleshooting
One error that might arise while running the example is that the database connection information in your data-sources.xml for the jdbc/OracleCoreDS datasource does not correspond to the database you are trying to test against. If this happens, then double-check the file .\jdev\system\oc4j-config\data-sources.xml under the JDeveloper installation home directory to make sure that the url value provided is what you expect. For example, to work against a local Oracle database running on your current machine, listening on port 1521, with SID of ORCL, you would edit this file to have an entry like this for jdbc/OracleCoreDS :
<data-source
    class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
    name="OracleDS"
    location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
    xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS"
    ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
    connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
    username="scott"
    password="tiger"
    url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ORCL"
    inactivity-timeout="30"
/>This is the data-sources.xml file that gets used by the embedded OC4J instance running in JDeveloper.
Conclusion
Hopefully this article has illustrated that it is straightforward to utilize the full power of BC4J in local mode as part of your EJB Stateless Session Beans using container-managed transaction. This example illustrated a single createDepartment method in the enterprise bean, but by replicating the application module interaction code that we've illustrated in createDepartment, any number of methods in your stateless session bean can use the aggregated application module instance created in the ejbCreate() method.

The full code listing for the SampleStatelessEJB bean implementation class looks like this:
* StatelessSampleEJB
* Illustrates how to use an aggregated BC4J application module
* in local mode as part of the implementation of a stateless

Hi Steve, It4s me again;
About the question I made, I tried with a single assembly-descriptor tag and a single container-transaction tag in the deployment descriptor of the session bean and these were the results.
java.lang.NullPointerException
     void com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIConnection.EXCEPTION_ORIGINATES_FROM_THE_REMOTE_SERVER(java.lang.Throwable)
     java.lang.Object com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIConnection.invokeMethod(com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext, long, long, java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Object[])
     java.lang.Object com.evermind.server.rmi.RemoteInvocationHandler.invoke(java.lang.Object, java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Object[])
     java.lang.Object com.evermind.server.rmi.RecoverableRemoteInvocationHandler.invoke(java.lang.Object, java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Object[])
     java.lang.Object com.evermind.server.ejb.StatelessSessionRemoteInvocationHandler.invoke(java.lang.Object, java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Object[])
     void __Proxy1.modificaEnvoltura(java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.String)
     void SamplemdeController.envolturaControlEJBClient.main(java.lang.String[])
Then I tried with multiple assembly-descriptor tags each with a single container-transaction tag and the results were:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     void com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIConnection.EXCEPTION_ORIGINATES_FROM_THE_REMOTE_SERVER(java.lang.Throwable)
     java.lang.Object com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIConnection.invokeMethod(com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIContext, long, long, java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Object[])

     void SamplemdeController.envolturaControlEJBClient.main(java.lang.String[])
Finally I tried with a single assembly-descriptor and multiple container tags and the results were:

How can I make my Stateless Session bean work out?

When creating an application installer in LV, what run-time engine or driver must be installed to install the VISA interactive control?

I've created an application installer using LabVIEW's application builder and use it to install NI MAX. However, after running the installer, the VISA interactive control is disabled in NI MAX.
The installer installs the following NI components: NI LabVIEW Run-Time 2014 SP-1(64-bit), NI LabWindows/CVI Shared Run-Time Engine 2013 SP2, NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 14.5, NI-488.2 Application Development Support (includes run-time), NI-VISA Configuration Support 14.0.1, NI-VISA Runtime 14.0.1, NI-VISA Server 14.0, NI Systems Configuration Runtime 14.5.0, vision run-time, dc-power run-time.
If I download and run the 488.2 installer, the VISA interactive control is enabled in NI MAX. But, the installer created with the application builder does not seem to install the necessary components.
What needs to be added to the installer to enable the VISA interactive control (VISAIC)?
Thanks.
Solved!

From Pedro Munoz, Applications Engineer, National Instruments
Sorry for the confusion with the forum post that Jon sent you. I did some research on our internal database and I found out the component will not be installed by any of the components added from the additional installers section on the configuration of the installer. As you have already found out you need to install the full installer in order to enable this feature.
I know that this might be an inconvenient for you because you wanted to have one installer to run. On this case may I suggest using the NI Batch Installer Builder.
The NI Batch Installer Builder allows building installers that contain National Instruments software from several products. That way you can create an installer for you application in LabVIEW (and not include the drivers in the additional installer section), then use NI Batch Installer Builder to include the installer for your application and the full version of the drivers that you mentioned.
Here is the download link:
http://www.ni.com/download/ni-batch-installer-builder-14.5/5193/en/
And in here you can find instructions on how to get started with it:

Let me know if you have any question.

Using mapviewer with database installation only (moved to db- spatial) ?

question moved to db->spatial
using mapviewer with database installation only ?

You should be able to deploy MapViewer in this OC4J. Take a look on chapter 1 of the MapViewer User's Guide for information about deploying MapViewer in an Oracle application server.

Qosmio F750 Toshiba applications have stopped working suddenly

Hi there,
can anyone help me?
All toshiba applications in my Toshiba Qosmio F750 have stopped working. Including Toshiba bulletin board, tohsiba blu-ray disc player, toshiba reeltime, etc... I don't know why and when it stopped working... please help me anyone :(

> I don't know why and when it stopped working
For us here on this forum is also not easy to understand what is the reason for your problem.
For that reason I also think best and of course the easiest way to fix all this is OS reinstallation.
Start to use your notebook with factory settings again. With clean recovery image installation everything will be perfect again.

Initiate Application Installation from App Catalog via Command Line / PowerShell

Hey Guys -
We have a single, fairly extensive OSD task sequence which covers systems for all departments. Due to it being a single TS for all, PC Lab techs must manually install some apps after it finishes via the Application Catalog. In past environments,
I've used MDT's UDI Wizard to create a frontend where techs could select additional software they wanted installed during the TS and it worked great! I'm trying to get something like that approved now, but in the meantime told the techs I'd come up with
a temporary solution to make their job easier.
Enter WPI (Windows Post Installer.) Back in the days before I used SCCM OSD and relied in Acronis images (yuck), I used a the WPI tool which only ran once - at the first login - even before the desktop
loaded. It's highly customizable and basically shows a single window which lists any applications or scripts (in groups) which you have configured. You place a checkmark beside each one you want to install, click the "Install" button,
then watch it's installer frontend install each of the selected apps. Once done, it either restarts the PC or exists to the desktop. For each application I can add, I'm provided with a few options to
install it. Obviously, an installation command line string field, but also a few more like installation order, requirements, and dependencies.
My Question
Each of the applications I've listed are in our Application Catalog and are advertised to All Users. Even though I could simply point the installer string to the app's source path and use the same string that the SCCM Application uses, I've been asked
to do something different. Instead, I'm trying to find a command line string which when run would perform the same action as if a user had selected to install an Application from the Application Catalog.
My thoughts are that if this is possible, it would probably be in the form of a PowerShell string - not just a basic command line one. Since WPI has a frontend which shows the progress of each app's installation progress as well as overall progress,
it's designed for the installation strings to install the app silently. Therefore, I would much prefer my solution run silently as well if possible.
So... does anyone have any idea for how I can make this happen? Thanks!
In case it makes a difference or answers any questions, below are two screenshots showing most of the fields and options which may be used to configure how an application installs in WPI. I couldn't include the Dependencies one since I could only
attach two images to my post. Also, the manual for WPI is embedded in the application's
download (ZIP) and not a page on their site. For the examples below, I used Google Chrome, but didn't configure anything besides the application's name:
Application Detail Options
Application Command Options
Ben K.

From what I'm reading, you are working towards MDT but it's not approved yet, so the goal is to:
Deploy a "bundle" of applications as painlessly as possible without using UDI to make customizations quick.
Lets talk options then.
Option 1: If machines types are in a unique OU or security group, create a collection for that and set these applications to mandatory install. After initial deployment, the provisioner can drop the computer in the proper OU or group and you're
good to go. Downside: collections refresh plus client check-in makes this less than instant.
Option 2: Orchestrator. You can write a runbook that will approve and push apps. You can then use the Orch console front end or a more friendly sharepoint/SM portal to push things out like a Manager would approve apps. Downside: if
not already deployed, there's no way they would approve that infrastructure if they are hesitant about MDT/UDI :)
Option 3: PowerShell and WMI. This should be doable ... but I've never tried it. It looks like you're headed down the right path ... but i guess my question is: if you can't have UDI when do get to pick the app? Are you planning
to write a full multi-box for them to check their apps after the fact? In that case ... just have the appcontroller URL pop up on first login ... might be easier than reinventing the wheel.
