Specifying the location of the support files while building installer.

Mr requirement is to store a support file in a directory just above the install directory.
example...
my support file is good.xls
I have installed my application at c:\motion\move\go.exe
I want the support file to be installed automatically at c:\motion\infos\template\good.xls. when i install my application.
i tried to do this by specifying the path at the files tab in the installer settings. I am not clear with the destination directory settings.
how is achieve this .

Hi again,
let me see if I undersood your problem: you need to build an application with which a support file has to be created in the sub-folder INFO\TEMPLATE relative to the main folder where the program is installed; and you want to leave the possibility to choose the main folder.
If this is correct, I modified your build file to show how to do it.
Open the test3.bld with the app. builder:
- Target tab: here you set the destination of your application when you hit the Build button;the support file directory is where the builder and installer will place automatically any needed support file ( for example dlls)
- Source files tab: click on custom destinations and select test.txt; you see that the destination is c:\test\info\template. Thi
s is the place where this speciific support file will be placed when buiding the app.
- Switch to Installer Settings tab: you see that the default installation foldet is Program files with sub-folder Application. This is the default destination of your application when you run the installer. But keep in mind that you have the option to change this destination during installation (you get a message dialog).
- Hit the Files button and select Test.txt. The installation destination is set to Install directory (it is the destination directory you choose during install). And as Insatllation application subdirectory I typed info/template. This is the path destination of your support file relative to installation dir.
With the installer created you can choose the install dir. and the test.txt will be created in \info\template.
Let me know if you need more explaination.
Good luck,
Alberto

Windows 8.1 Client Side Caching - Is it possible to specify the location of the offline file cache?

Hi,
Is there any approved way to change the location of the offline files cache in Windows 8.1? I'm asking before moving client systems from Windows 7 where a registry change was required - is this still the way to go?
I believe that if the default user-profile directory is moved, this causes problems for updates to Windows 8/8.1 now, is the same true if you move CSC?
Just a bit of background. The systems I want to do this for have smallish SSD boot drives with a higher capacity spinning disk. The machines are members of a domain with Folder Redirection setup. I could setup group policies to disable
caching of some of the larger directories or even disable CSC entirely on the machines which have an SSD boot drive, but would prefer not to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your descryption, In windows 7, the tool is migwiz.exe, namely the Windows Easy Transfer, you can modify the registry in the way listed in the post below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bbf5890c-b3d7-4b38-83d8-d9a5e025fb2b/how-to-move-clientside-caching-to-a-new-location?forum=w7itproinstall
In Windows 8, Windows easy transfer is also a built in tool to migrate user profiles and user settings, but as for the offline transfer, I suggest to use the USMT for your situation.
Because with USMT you can specify the folder that you want to migrate the files to, by using an offline.xml you can set the path just as the sample listed below:
<offline>
     <winDir>
          <path>C:\Windows</path>
          <path>D:\Windows</path>
          <path>E:\</path>
     </winDir>
     <failOnMultipleWinDir>1</failOnMultipleWinDir>
</offline>

How do i find the location of Oracle password file in the HDD

we giv the location of the password file while we use the orapwd command to create one.
later if we forget the location of the password file (incase it is not at the default location) then is there a way to find it or do we just create a new password file?
secondly, for oracle to use the password file we giv the remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' in the parameter file. wat tells oracle the location of the exact password file??
Thanks
Arvind

The default location are OS dependant.
On Unix/Linus it is under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
On Windows, it is under %ORACLE_HOME%/database
To change the default location, nothing inside database, but :
On Unix/Linux, you have to create a symbolic link for that file to the target location
On Windows, you have to change env variable (regedit) ORA_PWFILE and ORA_SID_PWFILE
So, you have to check this setting for the real password file location.

What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity. Thanks

As per adobe agent chat representative, the following question is posted on the fórum to obtain an answe from adobe.
What is the location for the swatches file in the illustrator product part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium for windows (date and lenght)? File that manges its funcionallity.
Thanks
<moved from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

Illustrator is not working as it should...
I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application.
Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
Thanks...
PS Do you know how to contact a staff adobe employer on the forums?

Folder redirection with Offline files enabled - Can I change the location of the locally cached files?

I have a 2012 r2 server setup with folder redirection and offline files enabled. All this works perfectly.
As you probably know, the local cache for offline files is stored at c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace\servername\
The problem I have run into is that one user (who cannot be told to delete files cough ceo cough) has a very large documents folder, and a small SSD drive for his C drive. So the offline files are filling up his SSD. He wants all his files to be synced,
so decreasing the max disk usage is also not an option.
What I would like to do is move the Offline files to his D drive which is a large drive, however I have been unable to find any official method for doing this. Is there any provision to change this?
If not, would it work to move the entire \servername\ path to the d drive and then create a junction at c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace\servername\ that points to d:\servername\?
Thanks,
Travis

Hi,
The following article is for Windows Vista but it should work at least in Windows 7.
How to change the location of the CSC folder by configuring the CacheLocation registry value in Windows Vista
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937475
Meanwhile creating a symbolic link should also work like:
mklink /d "C:\Windows\CSC" "D:\CSC"
Note: It will create d:\csc folder so you do not need to manually create it.
Note 2: As mentioned above, you may need to re-sync the offline files. Personally I also think robocopy will not work.

How do I change the location of the coldfusion-out.log and coldfusion-error.log files in CF10

When I change the log location in ColdFusion Administrator it changes the location of most but not all the log files. I have a requirement from my customer to place all log files on a separate partition on the server. For ColdFusion 9 I was able to modify the registry settings to change StandardOut and StandardErr for the ColdFusion Jrun service. This does not appear to the case for ColdFusion 10 which now uses Tomcat 7.
I tried modifying log4j.properties file and was able to relocate the hibernatesql.log, axis2.log, and esapiconfig.log but not the coldfusion-out.log.
I am running ColdFusion 10 Enterprise Edition on a 64-bit Windows 2008 Server.

The location of the rest of the ColdFusion logs can be changed in the ColdFusion Administrator. Go to the Debugging and Logging section, Logging Settings. There is a form at the top of the page where you can change the log storage location.

The location of the document ... cannot be determined - file save fails.

I'm a bit stuck here.
I just got a new mac pro, installed Logic 9 on it.
When I try to save my progress in the proj I keep getting the message:
The location of the document ** cannot be determined.
You can specify where to save it.
Needless to say this is quite tedious and can't really fly.
When I opened Logic 8 that was installed on another drive (previous system)
I got the same message.
HOWEVER, when I login as 'root' user (super admin)
I'm able to save my work just fine, both on Logic 8 and 9.
Surely I'm missing on some unix / system / permissions thing here.
Is there anything that can be changed ?
cheers
Billet

I'm curious if you have changed your username recently? Perhaps Logic was installed by a different user? I've had a similar issue with pages and keynote which I had installed with a user in the admin group and login with a user in the staff group, which is the default user on Snow Leopard.
I have solved this by changing the permissions of the folder into which I wish to save my docs. Go to the folder above the folder you are saving to. For example, if you are saving to the /Users/you/Music/Logic folder then go to the Music folder.
From Utilities > Terminal:
sudo chmod -Rf 755 YOURFOLDERNAME
enter your admin password when prompted
For example I want to save to the desktop. I open the finder and go to my home directory then
sudo chmod -Rf 755 Desktop
That's it!

"click on the link for each error to highlight the location of the error in the PDF file" fails

I'm working on a document which has tables in it. When I run the accessibility checker for 508 compliance, it tells me the document failed the test (g) 4 Table element(s) with no TH child elements and then provides links to the 4 tables in question. Now, when I click on those links, nothing happens. I know it is supposed to take me to the location of the problem table, and in fact this has worked for me in other documents in the past. Why is it not working now? I could really use this functionality because there are more than 4 tables so I can't tell which ones are failing the test without Acrobat highlighting them for me.
Thanks!
Maddie

Hmm, I tried that but it didn't solve the problem. When I searched for the tables there was always something in the code for the table. Also, saving the PDF to HTML really messed up the layout of the file, so it was hard to tell how well it paralleled the code in the PDF file.
However, I don't know if this would give you any ideas, but these are links from the Accessibility Report, from the list "Structure errors: 7 table element(s) with no TH child elements."
This is one that took me to a table:
file:///U|/Booklets/second%20edition%202011-2016/booklet-2/Book.TwoTAGGED.pdf#page=26&high light=50,558,675,180
This is what ALL the other 6 look like (which, when clicked, took me nowhere):
file:///U|/Booklets/second%20edition%202011-2016/booklet-2/Book.TwoTAGGED.pdf#page=0&highl ight=-32768,-32768,-32768,-32768
It makes me think that there are some artifact tables floating out in space somewhere, at the location "-32768,-32768,-32768,-32768."
If there was some way for me to find them and either tag them as artifacts or delete them... that might solve the problem! Do you know if there is a way?
Thanks!

CDAUI1000 Error while trying to load data. Ensure that the system path includes the location of the WebAdminLib.dll.

Hello, been receiving this error in Desktop Admistrator Web admin. I have tried the fix where you change the environment variable path and delete the Team Admin folders, but still receive the error. Any ideas??
7.0(1)SR04ES02_Build023
Thanks

Hi All,
So to recap, these are the steps to be followed:
On the Unified CCX server, add the location of the WebAdminLib.dll
(C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\bin) to the Path environment variable.
1. In Control panel, launch the System utility.
2. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
3. From the list of system variables, select Path and click Edit.
4. In the Variable value field, locate the string C:\Program
Files\Cisco\Desktop\bin; and, using cut/paste, move it to the beginning of
the variable value string. This results in the DLL being accessed from the
correct location.
5. Click OK and close the System utility.
6. Stop the Cisco Unified Node Manager.
7. On the Unified CCX server, delete the teamadmin folder from these
locations:
C:\Program Files\wfavvid\tomcat_appadmin\webapps
C:\Program Files\wfavvid\tomcat_appadmin\work\catalina\localhost
8. Restart the Unified Node Manager, and wait two minutes.
9. Access Cisco Desktop Administrator and verify that you can navigate to
the Services Configuration
Documentation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_7_0/
reference/guide/cad66ecd.pdf (pg 29)
In case this does not solve the issue, please verify if you are hitting the defect: CSCtr07664
Sometimes, the dll itself might be corrupted and thus the options in front of you are:
1) OS repair using the software disk
2) Rebuild the node

Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?

Can I change the location of adobe organizer file folders in Elements 11 from my c to d drive ?
My laptop, which uses Windows 7, came with the hard drive divided between a C and D drive. the C drive, where all the programs load, is nearly full, and I would like all the photos and videos that adobe elements organizer finds and that I download into load on my nearly empmty and spacious D drive.
In other programs I can change this is file prefernces, but I cant find that feature in elements.
Is it possible? and how can I do it?

Team Ben Hur
SG will probably have more to say about his reply, but in the meanwhile you might want to check out Premiere Elements 11/Elements Organizer 11/File Menu/Catalog Manager... and the Custom Location option. I suspect that is what both of you have in mind?
When Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 are installed on the same computer, they share a common Elements Organizer (catalog) although they can be purchased as standalone products each with its own Elements Organizer (catalog).

I cannot play my rented movie because itunes cannot locate where the original file, has anyone face this problem before? Where can I find the location of the downloaded movie?

What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies.
