Silent background update: old file(s) left behind

On one of our systems, Japanese Windows XP Pro, I noticed that after the 11.2.292.235 update, file Flash32_11_2_202_233.ocx was left behind. Here is the FlashInstall.log file for that portion

I thought that a Windows restart may clear that file, but it did not.
How is the background updater handling this; attempt to delete it at a later stage (e.g. during the next update)?
P.S. on all other systems, all files were successfully removed.

Sorry, we only run Firefox, Chrome, and IE here, so I can't attest to what happens on those other browsers.
The only other thing I can add is that this was the 32bit version of Flash.
This is extremely easy to replicate. I went into the
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
directory and copied NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll to NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll
I then launched ProcMon from SysInternals so I could spy on exactly what was happening. Then I launched Firefox and went to the adobe flash about page. Of course, it returned version 235. But ProcMon told a different story. Firefox had launched the plugin-container.exe using the 233 DLL I just copied!
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe" --channel=2500.56b6a60.744882939 "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll" - -greomni "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\omni.ja" 2500 "\\.\pipe\gecko-crash-server-pipe.2500" plugin
The problem comes because Firefox is using a QueryDirectory command with '*' when it looks in the Macromed\Flash directory for the DLL. This returns items alphabetically. It must be looking for the NPSWF32 prefix, so the LOWEST version number will always win!
To prove this, I made a copy of NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll and named it NPSWF32_0.dll. So now I'm looking at the following directory entries.
FlashInstall.log
flashplayer.xpt
FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe
FlashUtil32_11_2_202_235_Plugin.exe
mms.cfg
NPSWF32_0.dll
NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll
Note that alphabetically, my _0 copy is above the real copy. I use ProcMon to spy on Firefox once again. And Firefox goes and loads NPSW32_0.dll into the plugin-container.exe command line! This is despite the registry having no mention of this file, and all registry entries that refer to flash have NPSWF32_11_2_202_235.dll in them.
You guys have a huge problem here.
Get ProcMon -> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645

Background sound from aquarium screensaver left behind, continues to play

Greetings,
I have a very strange problem. Last week, I downloaded the D Desktop Aquarium Screensaver 1.7 from Apple's "Downloads" section. When the screensaver is activated, it plays this bubbling sound in the background. I removed the screensaver because I thought I could set the options to make it look like a real aquarium.
For some reason, the sound remains. It starts to play when the current screen saver (it doesn't matter which one) begins to run, so does the sound. However, when I begin to work on the machine, the sound continues! The screensaver does deactivate.
I looked in the Sounds folder inside the System directory but didn't find the culprit sound. I don't even know what its called so I cannot use Search.
Is there some where else I need to look? Does anyone have a name so I can search for it? Does anyone know how I can turn this (now categorized as ) noise? I appreciate any help - and I promise, no comparisons to other OS's.

I assume you deleted the trial.saver file from your /Library/Screen Savers/ folder.
What if you were to reinstall it, switch to a different screensaver and then delete it?

"ADMINI~1" folder left behind

I use MDT 2013 to build reference images, and SCCM to deploy them, as I'm sure most people do. I get a folder left behind in the Users folder: C:\users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp. The folder is empty, so I'm not sure how to figure out how to find what's
leaving it there. I've seen other folders where a Java log file is left behind, but no such luck with me.
It's happened with a Windows 7 image, as well as a Windows 8.1 image.

Hi,
Here is a workaround:
Manually running sysprep．
Booting into a WinPE environment．
Capturing a WIM using imageX.

Z@R temp files left behind with roaming profiles removal

See previous old post: Acrobat/Reader: [email protected] files left behind in Temp folder after printing
It states that the issue is resolved with Windows 7 and Server 2008 ang higher, however i'm running multiple Windows 2008 R2 servers and this problem is killing me.
A simple terminal server with only 5-6 users working on it, but abou 200 (left behind) user profiles.
What can i do yo fix this? Already tried the options in the article. Not working. Running multiple versions of Adobe Reader 11.0.xx
Please help.

Can anyone help me? In the meantime we have multiple servers, with multiple customers. And it is really getting fustrating?
I can't imagen Adobe does not care about this bug?

Necessary to "Update" old illustrator files?

I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have a newer version of illustrator, specifically CS2, loaded on Mac OS X it's calling all of my illustrator files "Text Files."
It says, "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated before you can edit it." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
Should I take the time to update all of these files now? I'm just archiving them. I have thousands of files and it would take time to open them all and update each one. If I don't update now though, will I be stuck later in years to come, with files that won't open at all, as operating systems progress, etc?
2) If I open a file, hit update and then hit save or save as, Logo A for instance will be renamed Logo A [Converted].ai - My question is should I just leave the brackets and the word converted or should I get rid of it?
3) Also, if I open a file, hit update and then hit save or save as it goes to "illustrator Options". In this dialog box it defaults to "Use Compression". Should I just leave it checked or deselect it? (I'm scared of the word "compression" as I just spent the last several days decompressing old Disk Doubler files using an OS 9 emulator. I was lucky to be able to do this.)
4) In this Illustrator Options dialog box it always gives me two warnings for these old files - The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less. What does this mean? Should I try and change it? If so, how? The other warning is "only fonts with appropriate permission bits will be embedded. What does this mean?
Please keep answers as simple as possible. Thanks so much.

Lala,
Most of this just boils down to personal preference and/or common sense.
I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have...CS2...Mac OS X [is] calling all of my illustrator files "Text Files."...Should I take the time to update all of these files now?
That's just a file-association issue on the OS, mostly for icon and doubleClicking-to-open. It doesn't mean you can't open the file in a later version of the creating program. Here's the main thing: Can you still directly open AI 6 files in the current version of AI (CS5)? If yes (as I suspect), then whether you update all these files before archiving them or not is just a question of what you consider most convenient. Do you prefer to have all your archive files already updated to current-version AI, or do you prefer to update them on an as-needed basis?
Personally, I opt for the as-needed route. I also have thousands of archive files. But I'm not going to open and resave them all (and mess with replacing legacy fonts, etc., etc.) with every new version of the host program. One could make a career of that. (And Illustrator is far from the only program I use.) In my case, the majority of those legacy files will never be needed again. Although I keep good backups, I always make it a point to make sure my clients know I am under no obligation to indefinitely archive my working files for their completed projects. (Anyone who takes on that liability, without being in that business and charging for it is flirting with disaster.) I provide the customer copies of what is necessary for the reproduction and uses he has contracted for, and he bears responsibility for redundant backup security of the files provided if he deems it necessary.
I'm just archiving them. I have thousands of files...will I be stuck later in years to come, with files that won't open at all...?
As long as the current version still supports the legacy format, it still boils down to whether you want to have all your archive files already updated or update them as-needed.
Now, eventually a new version of the host program may completely break backward file compatibility with a legacy format. That actually happened once in the history of FreeHand when a major modernization of the program was done. If a FH user at that time chose not to update their legacy files, then they would have to do a 2-step update, first using the latest version that did maintained the legacy compatibility, then to the current version. Even then, I did not convert all my archives (especially those for long-inactive accounts.)
The potential larger issue in that kind of scenario would be whether the "middle step" version of the host application will still run on the current-version OS. No one can predict that years and years in advance.
(Aside: For that matter, what assurance do we have that the next computer technology that everyone flocks to--say, organic computing with true artificial intelligence--will not break compatibilty with every existing PDF, CD, DVD, hard disk, VHS tape, Flash drive, Zip drive, Syquest disk, SCSI device, and AI file on the planet? On the other hand, I'm still able to use FH11 without a hitch on Windows Vista--haven't tried it yet on Windows 7. I'd love to try a copy of Windows FH 8--that was a clean drawing program--but only have a Mac version.)
It says "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated..." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
Fairly recently (much more recently than version 6), Illustrator's very archaic text objects were updated to a...well...less archaic structure. For backward compatibility, Adobe included a "conversion" routine to give you the option of updating the older text objects. Understand, you can still open, work with, and even re-save the file with the legancy text objects if you have need to. So again, do you really want to do this to all your archive files?(Understand, the reason for the warning in the first place is that the changes affect spacing and therefore potentially line wrapping, and other type-specific things; so if you are truly "updating" the file, i.e.; making it Johnny-on-the-spot, ready-to-go print-ready, you may have some re-typesetting to do. Do you really want to do that on all your legacy files right now?)
Logo A for instance will be renamed Logo A [Converted].ai ...should I just leave the brackets and the word converted...?
That's also just up to you. Makes no functional difference. Appending the word "converted" is intended as a mere file naming convenience. (FileMaker does the same thing by default, for example, when opening an Excel spreadsheet and thereby converting it to a FileMaker database.) For one thing, it lets you save the new file to the same directory as the original file without overwriting it. (In the FileMaker scenario, I always delete the "converted" because the .xls and .fp7 file extensions themselves are going to prevent accidental overwrites. In Illustrator, I never keep the multiple-version files anyway, so I also delete the "converted".)
... it goes to "illustrator Options"...defaults to "Use Compression". ...I'm scared of the word "compression"...
I'm not "afraid" of compression, but I never use application-specific file compression. It just creates other inconveniences in collaboration with others. For example, for many years Corel has provided the option of saving Draw files as compressed or not. It is a very common ocurrence for an AI user to receive a Draw file they should be able to open but can't, just because the Draw user forgot to not save it with compression (or didn't know better).
Yeah, Adobe's marketing might like to think I and everyone else in the world uses only its products, but the real world (thankfully) still isn't that close-minded.
The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less. What does this mean?
See online Help for what Document Rster Effects setting is all about. You need to understand it; but it doesn't really have anything significant to do with the question of updating legacy files. 72 ppi is the default, so if you update a legacy file from a version that predates raster effects, that's the setting the new document is going to get. But since there were no raster effects in the old file, it has no real bearing. But that setting is something you should be familiar with regarding any file you are sending to print, regardless of when.
The other warning is "only fonts with appropriate permission bits will be embedded. What does this mean?
You're getting this when converting legacy AI files? An EPS or PDF file may have embedded fonts, but (correct me if I'm wrong) not an AI6 file, unless the "Save with Acrobat compatibility" option was available in AI6.
At any rate, that's nothing new. Some programs can try to embed fonts in a file to facilitate remote printing and display (but not editing) without having to do the old-world "bundle for output" routine. If you happen to be the typeface designer, of course, you may not be too happy about that. So such features have had to provide the typeface foundry an opt-out. Some typeface vendors are almost as piracy-paranoid as Adobe--much to the dissatisfaction of their legitimate customers. So there is a setting in font files that the font creator can set to disallow embedding of the font. One example of particular distress to me is ITC Officina. Nowadays, I make a point to never purchase fonts that can't be embeded in a PDF. So ITC (or whomever actually owns the thing now) has at least one unhappy legitimately-licensed customer who has stopped using one of his favorite fonts and won't buy an updated version unless and until this nonsense is corrected. Again, it's really a non-issue re file version updating. You can't do anything (well, anything practical) about a font that doesn't allow embedding anyway. The warning is just a "reminder"; it's a standard alert whenever saving a file in a format that tries to embed fonts.

Problems with updating old .EPS files

Hi All,
We have a strange need to resave/update old .EPS files with color TIF previews. The problem occurs when Illy files are relink in either Quark/Indy and are updated with the wrong import size and/or positions shifted. My conclusion from varies tests suggest it's the preview that is causing layouts to rethink that it's a new file and therefore reposition the updated links. Does anyone know a working solution that can prevent image import percentage from changing or art positions from shifting?
Thank you!

Bump.
Is there no solution for this problem?

Consolidated iTunes library to different drive, but some files left behind?

I had been storing my iTunes library on an external HD. Now I have a new laptop and enough memory to move the library back onto the laptop's hard drive. I attempted to do so by reversing how I moved it in the first place -- I consolidated the library (using Preferences->Advanced to set the iTunes Media Folder Location to the standard folder on the internal HD). It took a while and the files were duplicated one by one on the internal HD. Except not all of them. Roughly 100+ songs, scattered throughout the library, are still stored only on the external HD. They show up in the library with an exclamation point, and I can listen to them if the external HD is hooked up, but obviously I can't if it isn't.
Is there an easy fix, and failing that, what's the painstaking manual fix I could go through?

The files that didn't transfer don't have any obvious differences from the files that did (they all have the same extension, as far as I can tell: m4p). Out of an album of songs from a particular artist, say, 11 songs will have transferred and one will have been randomly(?) left behind.
These are the basic instructions I followed re moving the Media folder and then consolidating:

HT1926 Trying to Download iTunes. Deleted all old files. I keep getting a message"unable to remove old iTunes update files". What can I do?

Tried several times to unload all old files. Keep getting tthe same message "unable to uninstall iTunes update files:. What can I do?

Many thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

Does it go through properly this time?

How to update my ipod without deleting the old files?

i have 2 pc and different songs on them..but whenever i want to update my ipod from the second one ..it keeps telling that my ipod is linked to another itune and uploading will delete the old file..would someone tell me how to go around it?..thanks
Windows XP Pro

Connect your iPod and when you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual as per the link below.
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually

Software update is stuck at "Removing old files"

Last night Software update informed me there were a few things to update. (I believe Safari was in there as well as a couple of things I was not using)
No reboot was required, so I started the install.
My system started really slowing down and was painful after a while. I shecked and Software Update was "Installing 3 items" and "Removing old files" - this was about an hour after starting the update.
Well, that was about 16 hours ago and it is still in the same state and with the same message and the same spot on the status line.
I am reluctant yo force quite Software update as I do not want to cause instability.
Any ideas?
(Or is it OK to force quit when it is just at the "Removing old files" stage?)
This is on a MacBook Pro

You have no choice but to force a reboot and see what happens.

CC Registry File Left Behind

What do I do with a Windows 7 registry file left behind when I used the Creative Cloud manager to activate Typekit and CC Files? The file is named cc_20130911_192915.reg . Should I (1) double click on it to install it into the registry (2) delete it by dragging it into the trash (3) do something else with it?

Sorry I wasn’t specific. I only noticed it because the file appeared on my desktop. I’ve been working with DOS and editing registries since the early ‘80s and never have encountered a file on the desktop that was supposed to be double clicked to install an entry into the registry.
I did a chat with Adobe Support about it, and after half an hour of “Thanks for your patience while I look into it further,” the rep said, “That is a technical issue. Please hold while I transfer you to a technical support area.” Support never came on the line, and I hung up after 15 minutes because no one responded when I attempted to query them.
I appreciate your answer and am hoping an Adobe rep will find the question here and give me some enlightenment about why the file is there and what its purpose is.

JSPs updated on server but browser presents old files

Hello,
I have a JSP file on my Linux server entitled index.jsp and a Properties.properties file in the WEB-INF/classed folder.
I have updated these files and they are saved successfully. When I logout of my SSL connection and log back in the files reflect my changes.
However, when I go to my Firefox or IE browser, it seems that my previous code is being accessed. I have tried clearing my cookies, offline files, history in each browser and even tried other computers where the older code was not accessed. Still, the older code is retreived for the browser.
Why is the older code accesssed?
What can I do to tell the server to use the updated JSP page?
Cheers,
Chris

You better go and manually delete the .java file and the .class file compiled out of your old jsp file from the work directory in the server machine. Then try restarting the server and try. This should work

Flash player silent auto update not working

I was glad to read the news about the new feature of silent auto updates of the Adobe Flash player, but unfortunately this is not working on my machine. Has anyone had the same problems and was able to solve them?
Some information on my setup:
I had previously installed Flash player version 11.1.102.63, both ActiveX and Plugin version (installed through the .msi files, deployed via Active Directory/GPO - no further configuration, just plain original .msi files).
To test the auto update feature, I decided to install the new 11.2.202.228 version, but only the ActiveX version. I installed this via the .exe installer (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) manually, choosing "Install updates automatically when available (recommended)" in the last step of the installation, as seen here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/background-updater-windows.html
When I open Control Panel -> Flash Player, under the "Advanced" tab I see:
"Install updates automatically" is chosen, but greyed out (no admin rights with this windows user)
ActiveX version: 11.2.202.228
Plug-In version: 11.1.102.63
The file "mms.cfg" under C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\ contains:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
The task "Adobe Flash Player Updater" was created and is scheduled to run every 1 hour. I can see that it is started ("last start time"), the result code is 0x0 which means "no error".
So everything as expected. But the auto update is not working, since the plugin version of flash player never gets updated!
I edited the "mms.cfg" and added:
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
After manually starting the task, there are some lines added to "FlashInstall.log" in the same directory:

Machine is behind a proxy server, but this is set up in Control Panel -> Internet Options
I suppose this is a problem with our proxy server. Does the auto updater not use the proxy information from the Windows Control Panel settings?

Hey Hans,
After reading of your sucsess I attempted to replicate it.
I am happy to say that I managed to update from Adobe Flash 11.2.202.228 to 11.2.202.233 on serveral different windows 7 notebooks and desktops sliently.
I went into the windows task scedular and ran the Adobe Flash Player Updater task (I didn't need to change anything in the task or the service for it to work).
The only issue I found was that if I ran the task again without restarting the computer no requests from the client would show up in the logs from my web server but if I restarted my computer and then reran the task it would work again. I'm assuming that it will only sent requests out every 24hours is talked about in page 18 of the Flash Player 11.2 Administration Guide.
My Web Servers logs look like this:
2012-04-27 05:45:01 W3SVC1967680676 10.135.12.38 GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml - 443 - 10.135.13.17 Get+Flash+Player+version+xml/1.0 200 0 0

My mms.cfg looks like this:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=proxy.tallangatta-sc.vic.edu.au
I think the biggest issue I had during testing was that I forgot to my web servers certificate into the windows certificate stores trusts root certs of my notebooks/desktops. EG: http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2012/04/rights-management-how-to-get-windows-7-to-trust-a -self-signed-server-certificate.html
I have since deployed the mms.cfg file and added my web servers certificate into the trusted root certs via group policy to all my clients and it is working very well. I have also writen a batch file to download the needed files from adobe for that backgroup updater and to put them on my web server. I created a daily task on my web server to run the batch file. If anyone wants the batch file or shell script please email me and I'll forward it on.
My batch file pretty much looks like this:

Managing projects changes - left behind

When I upgraded to 8.0.0, I loved the new feature that created a project folder, and also nested folders for organization. With the 8.0.1 update, I noticed lots of files being copied when I saved a new project. This essentially means that I have to go back to my old ways and create these folders manually, or waste HUGE amounts of drive space.
I finally figured out what was going on and found this in the Late-Breaking News file:
+Saving a Project+
+When you use the File > Save As command to save your project to a new location+
+(outside the current project folder) and select the Include Assets checkbox, the new+
+project folder will contain all audio files used in the “old” project’s Arrange area. The+
+“Copy external audio files to project folder” checkbox does not affect this behavior.+
Later, in the next section, it adds:
+If, for some reason, you don’t wish to include used audio files, don’t enable the Include+
+Assets checkbox in the Save As dialog.+
How about a way to create these project folders without wasting so much space with duplicate files?
Is anyone else having a problem with this new "feature"?

I think its a Adobe bug, not a Microsoft bug. The behaviour started when Microsoft released a update (KB2993651) back in august 2014. The first thought is that it is a Microsoft issue but the KB clearly states a change in FONT behavior. Adobe didn't react to this change and Microsoft keeps updating the engine on a monthly basis so there are already alot of other KB's that can cause the same issue.
Furthermore. The same problem already existed before in 2011 on older systems. Adobe never figured it out and only suggested a workarround.
Acrobat/Reader: [email protected] files left behind in Temp folder after printing
Another user on this forum did some research and found that Adobe uses a legacy function when printing from Adobe reader.

If Adobe leaves Z@ temp files behind in the user temp directory after printing and those files can't be deleted other than a reboot it must be a Adobe bug. Other utilities like FoxIT reader do not have this problem on modern updated Windows OS-es.
