The best way to upgrade j4w on client computers?

Hi Together
What's the way to upgrade J4W on client computers when the logged in user hasn't administrator permissions?
We are planning the rollout through our central software deploying system. For a later upgrade we wish to use the build-in upgrade procedur from J4W. This option is much easier.
I guess if jabber prompts the window to install an upgrade, a normal user can't do that, because of the missing administrator rights. Is that's true?
How do you that or what's the best practice?
Thx for help
greetings Phil

I'm pretty sure Jabber for Windows requires local admin rights for both the initial install and any updates.  Modern Windows apps are getting past this need by installing a wrapper exe in the admin-protected Program Files locations while installing the core app bits in user-level places like %appdata%, but I don't believe Jabber is on that bandwagon yet.  Modern apps that take that approach can be updated without admin rights (and also note that this plays very nicely with most antivirus programs too).  i think the native Jabber "update" mechanism is more of a notification tool than an updater.  You're provider a URL, and telling the client an update is available, but the end user is still in the driver's seat on doing that upgrade (which they're running with their own rights on the local machine).
That said, if your end users don't have local admin rights, you're probably stuck using your central deployment tools for the MSI.

  • What is the best way to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.7

    I am trying to figure out the best way to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 to the new Lion 10.7. From what I have heard so far, I need to get a copy of snow leopard first so I have the APP Store then download Lion. Has anyone heard of a bundled package to accomplish this?

    Apple is currently only making Lion available for download.  You'll have to accquire a copy of Snow Leopard first and upgrade to it.  Once you are on Snow Leopard, update your Mac with all of the current updates, which will then give you the App Store.  From the App Store you'll be able to download and install Lion.  I strongly advise backing up your system first prior to the update.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • The best way to upgrade from SL to Lion

    Hi,
    I’m currently running SL and its actually running verysmooth and I was wondering if I could just upgrade to Lion without actuallywiping my entire local HD, is this a good choice or its always better to do afresh reinstall?
    What would be the best way to upgrade to Lion?
    Any idea when is the release date?
    Thanks

    No details have been released, and anyone who knows is not allowed to say any more.
    Upgrading has never required erasing.  A few people (perhaps out of habit from using Windoze) do it, but many long-time, experienced users, don't.
    Let Apple tell you about the release:  http://www.apple.com/macosx/notify-me/

  • What is the BEST way to upgrade from Leopard to Tiger?

    My current set-up is noted below. The main "Macintosh HD" is 250 GB's in size and is fairly filled up with programs and plug-ins. (I own Logic Studio 8 and Final Cut Pro Studio 2, as well as Adobe's CS4 Web Premium Suite.)
    Prior to doing the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, I wish to ensure that I get back to my current set-up should any problems arise. Off hand, I can think of a couple of options to chose from to ensure a proper backup :
    1) Cloning the current disk drive on another drive in the Mac Pro prior to the upgrade.
    2) Purchasing a new, larger disk drive for the Leopard upgrade and safely storing the original drive containing Tiger.
    Maybe there are more ways to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard with a dependable "back-up"??
    No matter how I ensure a back-up of my current drive, I will install Leopard as a clean install.
    What would be the BEST way to do the upgrade with proper back-up?
    Thank you in advance for your time and input.

    I suggest the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • What is the best way to upgrade my OSX 10.4.11 to Leopard??

    I want to use Mackeeper but my Mac, i assume is too old and needs an upgrade. Do I upgrade to Leopard and if so what the best way?
    Thanks

    as for upgrading, depends what model you have.
    Leopard is indeed pricey; it was pricey when it first came out and many resellers now ask a premium for it.
    Snow Leopard may be an option, at $29 it's not a bad bargain. However, you could have grief with printer and scanner drivers, and other software needing updates (Adobe for one) many of them not free.

    Check both above first. Then call Apple Sales & have them send you a retail Snow Leopard Disk(US $29)...there is no download. Update to 10.6.8, then go to Mountain Lion or Lion if you like(US $19).

  • How can be the best way to upgrade to R12 from 11iCU2 in windows to Linux?

    Hello,
    Our customer CNE has an split configuration of a R11.5.10.2 system, with the DB in 11gR2 in Linux and the apps server in Windows2003.
    We are going to upgrade R11.5.10.2 to R12.1.3 and we need your suggestions for that.
    We are compiling all the documents and Notes related with the upgrade, principally we have to follow doc "Oracle® E-Business Suite Upgrade Guide Release 11i to 12.1.1 Part No. E16342-04", but we have some doudts about the global process, basically related with the platform migration, from Windows to Linux:
    -Do we have to install R12 in Windows to perform all the upgrade process and finally migrate the apps server to Linux or can we install the R12 directlly in linux and perform the upgrade from this Linux with the apps server in Windows?
    We don't have clear the best way to start the upgrade...
    Thanks and regards!
    Alvaro.

    -Do we have to install R12 in Windows to perform all the upgrade process and finally migrate the apps server to Linux or can we install the R12 directlly in linux and perform the upgrade from this Linux with the apps server in Windows? Correct -- Or, migrate the 11i instance to Linux then upgrade it to R12.
    We don't have clear the best way to start the upgrade...Migrating to Linux with Oracle Applications Release 11i [ID 238276.1]

  • What is the best way to upgrade to a new kernel?

    I would like to upgrade to the new kernel: kernel26-2.6.23.14-1 from the one from core (on the CD).
    What is the best way to do this? Also, is there a way to find out what is new / has changed in the new kernel?
    Thanks for any insights.

    Surely you have tried pacman -Syu?
    Kernel changelogs are on kernel.org. Perhaps it's more interesting to read articles on kerneltrap.org though.
    I have had a kernel panic one time I upgraded a kernel. I had to walk back step-by-step to backtrack what I did.
    I basically uninstalled the nv kernel driver for xorg and installed the proprietary drivers from their website (which I shouldn't have uninstalled nv drivers, but nonetheless I learned from it). But, somehow I think one of the packages I installed automatically upgraded to the lastest kernel. When I reverted to the properietary drivers it somehow uninstalled the latest kernel. The key thing I learned was "install the right drivers the first time!" But, yes, I know about "Pacman -Syu" in general, but didn't know that was the appropriate way to do it. It's just my two cents.

  • What is the best way to upgrade iTunes?

    I'm currently running iTunes 8.0.2.20 to work with my iPod Touch 2G and Nano 4G. All is working quite well so I'm rather hesitant about upgrading. But more and more content is requiring an upgrade to the latest iTunes version. If I decide to take the leap, what is the best route for upgrading, ensuring that my music is not lost and that I can revert back to my current version if something goes wrong? I know to backup my library. I try to do that regularly. Should I uninstall my current version and all other Apple associated programs, download new version and install OR do the upgrade from within my current version of iTunes?
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

    It is a good idea to back up the library files, iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml before upgrading. It shouldn't be necessary but your never know... You may be glad of it if you want to downgrade.
    If you want easy downgrading, save the last iTunes set up file if you have it, maybe rename it iTunesseteup8.exe so it isn't overwritten by the new installer.
    It is safest not to upgrade from in iTunes.
    Download the installer from the Apple site and save it on your PC, then run it from you PC.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    The installer takes care of any uninstalling that is needed.

  • Looking for the best way to upgrade OS

    Ok I have just reinstalled the old OS X 10.3.9 onto my 14" ibook g4 1.33 and I have 768gb of Ram with a 60 gb hdd. I was running OS X 10.5.8 the reason that I did this was I bought the laptop at a pawn shop and everything on it had the other person user name to it. I wanted this to be mine so I re did the whole thing. Now I need to know which way to upgrade the OS should i get 10.4(tiger) first then go to 10.5, or would be going straight into 10.5 be a better route. I am wondering this because I am new to this platform, and I do not want to do things the wrong way. If you guys and gals have any Ideas on which is the best course of action to take it would be huge welcome.
    Thanks again Beny

    what is it specifically you wish to do? Right now, the widest support is going to be for 10.4 & 10.5. The 10.4 disc are so hard to come by & copies of leopard are drying up fast.
    Now, not to lower expectations, but with your iBook, but most online video streaming is going to have studder & you won't be able to play HD content. iMovie 09 won't install without a hack.
    With that said, your iBook should work fine with iPhoto, DVD playback & files which are non HD - h.264 codec based, Firefox, lots of printers & scanners, media & file sharing over a local network, wireless connections (with good routers like linksys or the aiport bases).
    when I take a machine & install fresh, my core list of apps include firefox, camino (mozilla based browser, runs lighter than ff or safari), VLC, perian, flip4mac, Cyberduck ftp, and some office suite (iWork - Neo Office - MS Office).
    anything else you would like to do? hope this helps

  • What is the best way to upgrade my iMac (2.66GHz, early '08) for Photoshop?

    I'd be grateful for some advice on the most cost-efficient way to upgrade my iMac.  I had thought of replacing it this year but am hoping to stave off that decision for a while.  My reason for upgrading is that I use photoshop a lot, with big files (some up to 1Gb), many layers, panorama stitching etc.  My options seem to be:
    - Upgrade to new iMac.  I appreciate there are several advantages to this.  Faster processor, faster graphics card, support for more RAM, possibility of fusion drive etc.  The question is whether there are some low-cost steps I can take instead that will make a big difference.
    - Upgrade RAM.  This is probably a no-brainer.  I only just found out that my iMac (Model 8.1, early '08, 2.66GHz) can actually take 6Gb not the 4Gb that Apple says is the maximum.
    - Replace/add hard drive.  I had been thinking of replacing the tiny 320Gb HDD (using iFixIt guide).  However, I noticed that my external HDD on FW800 (WD) seems to run faster than the internal one, which surprised me (tested using BlackMagic - read/write speeds approx 55 on internal, 70 on external).  So maybe I just need to upgrade the external drive (new HDD in same enclosure?).
    - SDD.  I like the idea of a small-ish SDD, on which I would put my start-up partititon, photo apps (photoshop, lightroom, photomatix etc) and probably the current project.  Photoshop would be pointed towards it for the scratch file.  I think even a 120Gb SDD would work well and speed things up a lot.  I would probably aim to use iFixIt's enclosure for the SDD that replaces the optical drive.
    So... if I replaced the RAM ($80), increased the external HDD to 3Tb ($150), and inserted a 120Gb SDD ($120), that would cost $350 and would give me the extra memory, the speed of SDD for start-up and all photo files, as well as a good size storage increase in the HDD.  This compares to probably $2000 for the iMac I would purchase with RAM upgrade.
    Will this give me a *big* improvement or am I mostly limited by the processor speed (can I overclock?) and video card?
    Very grateful for any thoughts.

    Hello,
    RAM is the first...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=298&type=Memory
    HDD, or especially an SSD would speed up things...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=298&type=Internal+Dr ive
    Personally, I boot my iMac from FW for reliability.
    You wouldn't want to overclock anything, unless you add a bunch of extra cooling.

  • What is the best way to upgrade from OES2 running on SLES 10

    Tonight was so frustrating. I was half way doing upgrade of an OES 2 SP3 (running on SLES 10 sp4). Wanted to upgrade to SLES 11 SP2 and OES 11 SP1.
    Is there a way to just patch the server using installation source as the ISOs? Because I was upgrading it the traditional way (take backup, make a clone of the machine, shut down, insert SLES 11 CD, upgrade system, bring it up, OES patch, etc) And I was forced to stop half way because the customer expects things to be done within 2 hours or so with minimal downtime. I have previously patched using installation source but that was only to upgrade the service pack version, not the core OS build.
    This is such a ridiculous requirement. Why is it that we can't just install a "move-to-oes-11-sp1" package from online updates? There must be a way to do this through online, but the severs are registered to get updates only for oes2 and sles 10.
    Someone help me out this is getting just silly.

    As per the Novell documentation:
    https://www.novell.com/documentation...a/bhu19u7.html
    The only SUPPORTED upgrade path from OES2 SP3 64-bit is offline media, or offline network.
    I do not know the technical details/reasoning why you can't use the channel, but I suspect there's a valid reason for it.
