Running a captivate .EXE from a Intranet site

I am currently trying to run a Captivate .EXE from our
internal intranet site.
I have created a 'front end' captivate project which will act
as the 'launch site'. Basically the buttons on the project should
launch the .EXE files held on our network, but for some reason it
doesnt seem to work. I have checked and double checked the file
paths and have tried it on both a restricted network and an open
one, to rule out access issue but this doesnt seem to make a
difference.
Can anyone help or have any ideas??

Hey there Collywobble1
I am not too sure on the intranet setup, but, in essence the
2 output formats for Captivate are intended for 2 seperate
requirements as I understand it.
SWF outputs are for network and internet based access and EXE
outputs are for standalone files on a user computer, CD etc. So it
seems as though you might have to convert your files to SWF and try
again.
If I am wrong, then could some other super genius please
assist (Rick, Larry, Jbradley88 et al)
Cheers

Error when running captive runtime .exe from root directory of drive.

Platform: Windows
Specifics: Captive runtime desktop app using an ANE.
Problem: I am distributing the app on a flash drive. Ideally,the .exe will be on the root of the drive, so the user will not need to enter a subdirectory. I'm mostly concerned about users moving the software and getting frustrated by this error.
The error is "Adobe Air: The installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
Here's an example. Importantly, this error only occurs when an ANE is included. I tried a few different ANE files created by others, and simply adding them to the project produces the error. I don't even need to use the ANE anywhere in my code.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/epfj0138pfbmu49/soExample.7z
This is a simple application with a few blank buttons. Try extracting in a subdirectory somewhere, and then moving to the root of a flash drive or any other drive. However, I don't recommend running code from strangers on the top directory of your C:\ drive.
Additionally, I installed Apache Flex 4.12 but the error persists. The text simply changed to "Initial content could not be loaded for this application. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance."
https://www.dropbox.com/s/epfj0138pfbmu49/soExample.7z

I did some more testing. Same issue occurs if I create a captive runtime app from Flash Pro. It also happens when I use the Adobe Air installer, but install to the root directory.
Can anyone think of a workaround?

Running a CMD.exe from PowerShell with arguments

Hello guys, I am working with a driver backup program that I need to automate. I am using Power shell to run a few other tasks, like check the OS version and create a folder based on the system type for drivers. We deploy many different devices and needed
a way to automate. That is neither here nor there. Here is what I am trying to run, but the CMD, will not seem to pick up the arguments. If I run from the CMD prompt, it will run as expected, but when I lick it off with Power shell, I get a few errors.
Here is what I have:
$command = @'
cmd.exe /C C:\DriverBU\DrvBK.exe MODE="BACKUP" BKPATH="C:\TempDrivers" BKDESC="Drivers" BKFILE="Backup %NOW% %COMPUTERNAME%.bki" BKPATHFTM="%COMPUTERNAME%" BKDEVFMT="%DEVNAME%" BKDATEFMT=""
OPT="HW"
Invoke-Expression -Command:$command
This will open the program, however, will not run the arguments.
Thoughts?
Thank you!

Part of your problem is that you cannot use @''@ (a here string) to specify a command because it retains the line breaks.

KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites

I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes. I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend which also installed the Security Update KB2909210 and rebooted the
server. On Monday morning, when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning. All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks. Some fields which normally have a small "x" on the right-hand side used
to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks. The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users. The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it began interfering with productivity.
I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing. I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
the print dialog box remained jumbled.
All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine. They display properly and process quickly. It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client to their profiles on the server and use the IE version
installed on the server who have the problem with IE10. The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day. This morning the intranet sites
are working fine through IE 9. I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as it gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11 to be too buggy so far.
How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites?

I would re ask this in a different forum as this is a Small business server forum and I'm assuming you aren't running that platform?
Or call 1-800-microsoft and issues with a security patch are ultimately comp'd back to you.
This re-asking in forum after forum after forum is ridiculous! When someone else has this problem and searches for it, they will get several useless results with the only responses being to ask in another forum.
This was originally posted in the Microsoft Community forum. The MS Forum Moderator over there advised I should post it here and gave a link in her response. God forbid she had just moved it to the correct forum as I've seen done on countless
other forums!

KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites and print dialog box

Let's try this again. I have been asking the following question of Microsoft and every time I do, I have only been told to try another forum.
I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes. I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend (10/18/2014) which also installed the Security Update KB2909210
and rebooted the server. On Monday morning (10/20/2014), when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning. All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks. Some fields which normally have a small "x"
on the right-hand side used to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks. The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users. The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it
began interfering with productivity. I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing. I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
the print dialog box remained jumbled.
All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine. The sites display properly and process quickly, and the print dialog box is not jumbled. It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client
to their profiles on the server and use the IE version installed on the server who have the problem with IE10. The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day. This morning (10/21/2014) the
intranet sites are working fine through IE 9. I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as IE9 gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11, on any of our machines, to be too buggy.
How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites and print dialog box? What is so different about Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that IE 10 causes this corruption of intranet sites and the print dialog
box on the Server but not on the Win 7 machines?
The bulletin here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-011
is useless for determining why it breaks my intranet sites. Nor does it explain why the update destroys the print dialog box.

Hi,
In my opinion, it's hard to say your problem caused by KB2909210. Have you tried to uninstall this update for test if your intrant site's problem resolved?
If your problem truthfuly caused by this updates, you can choose to hid the update as a workaround method.

Can't download Itunes from Apple Web site

When I click on download button, it goes right to the "thanks for downloading" splash page,and yet nothing has downloaded -- no download file box comes up, nothing. I managed to get the 7.1.2 .exe from another web site, but now I want to download the latest version, 7.2, but can't do it. I haven't had trouble downloading files from any other sourse -- only Apple. I tried turning all of the security features off, but that didn't work. any suggestions? thanks!

I had probs with 7.2. Reloaded 7.1 works fine. I think 7.2 needs some more work before it will work for me.

Running an executable (.exe)

Hi
How can i run different executables (.exe) from labVIEW?
One method is through the "system exec" vi. Other can be through the ActiveX (if the software is activex enabled)
Any other method???????????

Think Weird

I usually use this vi that calls the shell32.dll. LV 8.6.1
Just input the path to the program or file you want to open.

Running an exe from within Oracle WebLogic 10g R3 does not find dll

Hi,
I am facing a strange issue with Oracle WebLogic 10g R3.
I use the code as shown in Listing 1 below to run a windows based application exe (batch job) from within my web application hosted on Oracle WebLogic 10g Release 3.
Note that this code woks fine on Tomcat 6.x and OC4J (JDeveloper TP4).
The exec gets executed but the log of the exe program shows it could not load certain DLLs.
Note that these DLLs are in the same directoy as the Batch program and this directory is in the PATH.
Running through simple Java Program Successful*
When I run the same program from a java program it runs successfully. So this means some WebLogic environment does not get set properly.
Running directly BatchProg.exe rather than cmd.exe fails*
Also note that when I run the exe directly e.g. BatchProg.exe rather than through cmd.exe it gives me a error the system did not find the file specified.
CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified with cause java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
Listing 1:*
String[] commandArgs = new String[|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/] { "cmd.exe", "/C", "BatchProg.exe \"param1\" \"param2\" " },null , l_workingDir)
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc;
proc = rt.exec( commandArgs, envParams, workingDir );
ProcessIO errStream = new ProcessIO( proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
ProcessIO outStream = new ProcessIO( proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
errStream.start(); // process any errors from the command
outStream.start(); // process any output from the command
System.out.println("Error=" +errStream);
System.out.println("Out" + outStream);
return (p_waitToFinish ? proc.waitFor() : this.SUCCESS);

OK.
I have posted this on the WebLogic Forum.
Thanx.

Request to run updater.exe from an unknown publisher starting firefox

every time Firefox is started from initial turn on of computer (not from the computer being hibernated or in sleep mode), I receive a message to run Updater.exe from an Unknown Publisher. There is nothing to show that this is a Firefox application but, I am not receiving any threat messages either. Is there any way to find out where this Updater is coming from and if it is to be trusted?

Do you use a Norton security suite? If so, I suggest checking with Norton's support on whether that prompt is legitimate.
You will find numerous unofficial distributors advertising on Google for Firefox downloads. These generally are bundles of crap along with Firefox. You should check to make sure you don't have such a thing installed.
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help surface undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
You can supplement your regular security software with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Does that help?

Trying to run an .exe from within pdf

I am trying to run an executable file from within a pdf. I get the error "This file is set to be launched by this pdf file. This is currently disallowed by your administrator." Error box is labeled "acrobat.exe"
Using: Adobe Acrobat 9 pro
Windows 7
This has worked with previous versions of Acrobat, is it still possible to do?

This is disallowed for security reasons.
See the "attachment configuration" section at : http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/security/Application+Security+Library to change this behavior.

How can I enable links from an internet/intranet site to a local file in Firefox 4?

I'm trying to allow links from an intranet page to a local file (e.g. "file://///server/share/file.jpg"). I found several articles and forum posts about doing this in older versions of Firefox (such as setting security.checkloaduri to false), but nothing seems to work for Firefox 4. Is there a new config option that I need to set to get this to work? Thanks.

darren199,
can you tell what you did to get that issue resolved ?
I am having the same problem :
Security Error: Content at http://intranet/group/maeva/documents may not load or link to file://///192.168.15.75/Downloads/rich.rtf.
I created a user.js as suggested in the website (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work) :
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://intranet");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
and the file is in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\hen5yfyq.default
After restarting Firefox, I am still stuck with the same error.
btw, the same links work in IE.
Same results with file://server/share/file and file://localhost//server/share/file. I tried several URLs of this kind, but FF still stops with the same error message

Facing problem with running exe from my java code

Hello,
I have to run the exe from java code for which I m using Runtime and Process classes. The exe runs in the following way on command line
C:/ myexe -j [now press enter]
input sentence followed by ! [now press enter]
And after this exe gives the output.
So is there any way to achieve this programmatically in Java?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

I m confused .. how can i pass input to the Process through InputStream? I think it will need OutputStream for that.
Here is my code...
import java.io.*;
class CallToExe
static BufferedReader br;
public static void main(String[] args)
File F = new File("C:/Chasen.exe");
try
if( F.exists())
     System.out.println("Exe exists");
     Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process proc = rt.exec("C:/chasen.exe");
     br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
     int a = in.read();
     System.out.println(a);
     String res = br.readLine();
     System.out.println(res);
     while(!res.equals(null))
     System.out.println(res);
     res = br.readLine();
proc.waitFor();
     proc.destroy();
catch(NullPointerException npe)
     npe.printStackTrace();
catch (Exception IOEx)
IOEx.printStackTrace();
But it doesnt work as my chasen.exe needs arguments from stdin.
The way exe works is as follows.
on command prompt>>
C:/chasen.exe -j [ Need to press ENTER here]
input statement . [ Need to press ENTER here too]
Then output is displayed on command prompt which can be taken from InputStream of the process. But I m not able to properly run this exe itself with all the arguments frm Stdin

Win2000 NoClassDefFoundError running java.exe from DOS prompt

I am using Windows 2000 with J2SE v 1.3.1_02 and have a problem when I run java.exe from the command line for classes that are defined to be in a package. I can both compile and run this program from the TextPad editor but when I run it from a DOS prompt I get the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyClass"
My CLASSPATH is set to D:\
The files MyClass.java and MyClass.class are in the directory D:\MyProject
here is the source:
package MyProject;
public class MyClass
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("MyClass main");
Note that if I comment out the package statement and add "." to CLASSPATH then it runs from the DOS prompt. Why does the program run from inside TextPad but not from the DOS prompt? Seems to be some type of bug in java.exe on Windows 2000 when the keyword package is used.

It turns out that if you use the main method in a class that declares the package statement you need to use the fully qualified name to run the program. Using this statement works for this problem:
java MyProject/MyClass
the forward slash is required even though is a Windows system.
