ThinApp Updated Package doesn't update existing Sandbox files

This has to be a common problem, but the discussion topics are not quite the same scenarios. I must be using the wrong search terms to search by in the forums.
First, the issue in simple terms.. and then greater detail:  I'm having an issue where a very simple app is created, but if the app is re-built with only a couple of changes, not all files in the "existing" users's Sandbox will be updated to reflect the change.  Meaning, if I maintain the same Sandbox path, and it is reused on the updated app, the sandbox will sometimes continue to use the old files from the prior build.
Example:  Let's say the package consists of...
     ThinApp_Package.exe  (living in \\networkshare\AppHome)
               App.exe  (original)
               xxx.dll
               yyy.dll              
               user_settings.ini
               another_config.ini  (original)
      SandboxPath=D:\SandboxFolder\
      SandboxName=App-Saved-Files           (Sandbox shows the original files above just fine)
Now, if our developer creates a new "app.exe" and it uses a new statement to Read/Write in the "config.ini", I will recompile the app with those two files updated.
When the new ThinApp package is launched, the new binary "App.exe" will be correct, but the "config.ini" that is being referenced is the OLD, prior file that exists in the Sandbox.  The Sandbox never updates it.
If I delete the Sandbox, it will be recreated with the new and proper "config.ini" (but, of course all other custom settings for that user is lost).
     Rebuilt_and_Updated_ThinApp_Package.exe  (living in \\networkshare\AppHome)
             App.exe  (updated)
               xxx.dll
               yyy.dll              
               user_settings.ini
               another_config.ini  (updated)
      SandboxPath=D:\SandboxFolder\
      SandboxName=App-Saved-Files          
(The updated "App.exe" runs fine and as expected, but continues to refer to the original "another_config.ini" in the Sandbox from the prior build and does not update... so I have no choice but to delete the Sandbox and lose the users settings)
More details:  If this is not a common, simple issue (which, I'm sure it is, and I'm overlooking something... I'm not too skilled with ThinApp).
The App is centrally hosted on a network share (has run this way since Thinstall days), I don't recall the issue before, so I must be triggering it somehow.
The overall age of the sandbox is not that old.  I can recreate the issue starting with a new Sandbox and then updating the package once.
The Sandbox is a forced path to the Local User's D_Drive, in a common accessible area for all.
The Package is WRITECOPY, except for the one sub-folder where the EXE and INI exist, that one folder is FULL (This is due to the App needing to be on the C: drive, but the current company Administrative rules won't allow writing to the C: Drive.
It is an older 32bit, Visual Basic compiled app, running on Windows 7 (64bit).
Just as a quick test I have asked the developer to always write a new "config.ini" that creates a time entry on launch, so that the file is forced to be changed (thinking a forced change in the file should force it to the sandbox... but that has no affect, it still does not update the sandbox.
We have several, similar programs of that hosted in the same manner.. and have for years.  But, it appears that this one is giving me a hassle and I cannot pinpoint the change that causes this behavior.
So, I guess a general question is, "What is the decision process within ThinApp that would direct the application to view Sandbox Content over -internal- compiled content if the internal content is newer or different size?"  The only common thing between the compiled content and sandbox content is the file name.
Thanks for helping an amateur.

Hey there, thanks for the reply.  The project's Default isolation is "WriteCopy".  But the folder that contains the config.ini file is "Full".  (stated in the original post).  You can view the INI the sandbox just fine, as expected... except now it is not updating with the one in the package.   There was never an answer, so I had no choice but to delete the Sandboxes... it is fine now.  But it would be nice to know how/why ThinApp will suddenly misbehave and not update the file.  Reading some undertones in other posts, it seems to happen now and then.
Thanks again.

  • Dreamweaver CS6-updating template doesn't update pages, update screen hangs

    I'm working with a dwt file provided with shopping cart software which I purchased from a third party developer. I've made changes on the main.dwt provided to personalize it for my business. To begin with, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but then at some point, updating the template stopped updating the pages dependent on it, unless the pages are actually open in Dreamweaver. Even when the pages are open, however, the "Update files dependent on" box seems to hang. If I click "close" it asks if I want to stop updating the site. It's very cumbersome to have to open every page in the site in order to get the changes in the template to propagate to the pages. I'm running CS6 on Windows 7 Home Premium. My site is not yet published, so I can't provide a link to it. It's still on the drawing board.

    Is the .dwt template file still within the Dreamweaver generated Templates folder in your site root?
    index.html <--your site's home page
    Templates <-- the Templates folder on same level as site home page
         yourtemplate.dwt <-- your .dwt file
    If it's not, that can cause all kinds of problems in DW.

  • Button configure as Update but doesn't update the document

    Hi, 
    I have a form for a document library.  I also created an Approval workflow for it.  Once the requester completed and created a form, the WF then starts by emailing the approver to approve/reject the request.  I have 2 optional button for Deny
    or Approve.  Each have rules that sets the Request-Status field to show approved or deny.  There is a button that I configure as "Action: Update Form".  
    Well, I select the Approve/Reject button, then select the Update button, close the form and no data was updated.  I added back the Form's Save button in the top ribbon, using that Save button then saves the data.   The Update button on the ribbon
    also doesn't save the data.  
    What is wrong with my Update button and how to fix this?
    Thank you.

    Could you just map the buttons functionality to the Save action instead?  Same result if it works.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • App Store update page doesn't update

    I'm finding that frequently the App Store update page says all apps are up to date, yet there is a badge telling me there are updates.  This is really annoying as the only way to see the updates, is to exit the App Store app, kill it and run it again.  Under iOS 5, I could simply tap the update button at the bottom to refresh the page, but that doesn't work in iOS 6.  Why isn't there a refresh button in the App Store?

    I've noticed the very same thing - only after purchasing my iPhone 5 which is, of course, running iOS 6. Since then, my wife has updated the trusty old iPhone 4 she "inherited" to iOS 6, as well. Haven't checked whether the App Store is behaving this way on her phone but I'd be surprised if it didn't. The "tap to refresh" function in the pre-ios6 App Store app was fine. I would've expected Apple to incorporate the "pull to refresh" method they're now using but that's not available either.

  • Is it possible to update inside of an already existing .xml file?

    I have a problem where I had to write an implementation of stack and make it read files and find errors inside the files. The only problem I am having is being able to then go into the file and fix the problem. Any chance anyone could help me out?

    What performance requirements have you got? And how big (in bytes) is the data-file? Any statement of acceptable test-beds?. Any stated limitations on the design you can use to achieve it? Resource limitations? You know; that sort of stuff.
    Can you post a more complete description of the assignment... or better a URL I can download the assignment package from. It sounds like an interesting exercise.

  • Creating Software Update Packages - Best Practice?

    I am setting up our SCCM 2012 R2 environment to begin using it for Windows Updates, however I'm not sure 100% the best method of setting it up.
    Currently my plan is to break out the deployment packages by OS, but I read\told that I should avoid creating to many dynamic deployment packages, as every time it changes all the computers will re-scan that package.  So What I want to do is create
    various packages for OS and years, so I would have a package that contains all updates for Windows 7, older then January 31, 2013 (assuming the package doesn't have 1000+ updates), and are not superseded\Expired. Then I would create Packages for the 2014
    monthly updates each month, then at the end 2014, combine them all in 1 package, and restart the process for 2015.  Is this a sound plan or is there a better course of action?
    If this the best practice method, is there any way to automatically create these packages?  I tried the Automatic Deployment Rules, but I can not set a Year of release, only the a time frame of the release,(older then 9 Months), unless I am missing
    something.  The only way I can see doing this is going into All Software Updates, and filtering on my requirements, and then manually creating the package, but this would less desirable, as after each year I would like to remove the superseded and expired
    without having to recreate the package.
    Mark.

    First, please learn what the different objects are -- not trying to be rude, just stating that if you don't do this, you will have fundamental issues. Packages are effectively meaningless when it comes to deploying updates. Packages are simply a way of grouping
    the binary files so they can be distributed to DPs and in-turn made available to clients. The package an update is in is irrelevant. Also, you do not "deploy" update packages and packages are not scanned by clients. The terminology is very important because
    there are implications that go along with it).
    What you are actually talking about above are software update groups. These are separate and distinct objects from update packages. Software Update groups group updates (not the update binaries) into logical groups that can be in-turn deployed or used for
    compliance reporting.
    Thus, you have two different containers that you need to be concerned about, update packages and update groups. As mentioned, the update package an update is in is pretty meaningless as long as the update is in a package that is also available to the clients
    that need it. Thus, the best way (IMO) to organize packages is by calendar period. Yearly or semi-annually usually works well. This is done more less to avoid putting all the updates into a single package that could get corrupted or will be difficult to deploy
    to new DPs.
    As for update groups, IMO, the best way is to create a new group every month for each class of products. This typically equates to one for servers, one for workstations, and one for Office every month. Then at the end of every year (or some other timeframe),
    rolling these monthly updates into a larger update group. Keep in mind that a single update group can have no more than 1,000 updates in it though. (There is no explicit limit on packages at all except see my comments above about not wanting one huge package
    for all updates.)
    Initially populating packages (like 2009, 2010, 2011, etc) is a manual process as is populating the update groups. From then on, you can use an ADR (or really three: one for workstations, one for servers, and one for Office) that runs every month, scans
    for updates released in the past month, and creates a new update group.
    Depending upon your update process, you may have to go back and add additional deployments to each update group also, but that won't take too long. Also, always QC your update groups created by an ADR. You don't want IE11 slipping through if it will break
    your main LOB application.

  • Update showing up in "Compliance 5 - Specific Computer" Report even after removing the update from the Software Update before creating Group and Package

    So I've created a Software Update Group and I did NOT want anything in there dealing with Internet Explorer 11 since the organization is currently stuck at using 10 as the highest. So I made sure that Internet Explorer was NOT in the list and then I deployed
    the package. 
    After running my Overall Compliance report it shows that the systems are compliant, but when I view the "Compliance 5 - Specific Computer" I see that "Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" is listed in the report. 
    This is just a testing phase right now and I have not created a WSUS like Domain level GPO. I understand that the SCCM client creates a local policy on the clients for the location of the Software Update Point (Specify
    Intranet Microsoft update service location), but the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy is set to Not Configured, which it looks like when this
    is set, the "Install updates automatically (recommended)" at 3AM is the default. 
    Is the reason why the "Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" update is showing up in the list due to the fact that the "Configure
    Automatic Updates" policy is set to Not Configured
    and therefore it is still reaching out to check Windows Update online? 
    So, if I do create a Domain level GPO to Disable the "Configure
    Automatic Updates" policy, then the "Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" update would not show up in the "Compliance 5 - Specific Computer" report?
    By the way, I have a Software Update Maintenance Window configured for the hours of 1AM-4AM so the 3AM default time falls within this time frame, therefore, I am assuming the SCCM 2012 client will not allow the Windows Update Agent to install the "Internet
    Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems" update, even though it has detected it is "Required". 
    Thanks

    But, don't you need a Deployment Package in order to deploy the Software Update Group? The Software Update Group uses the downloaded updates contained in the Deployment Package located in, wherever the Package Source is, right?
    One more quick question that you will know right off hand, because, well, you just will I'm sure.
    No. The software update group really has nothing to do with any update packages. The update group assigns updates to clients and in turn clients use update packages to download assign and applicable updates from. There is no connection between the two though
    as the client can download an update from any available update package. Thus, it's more than possible to updates in an update package that are not in any update groups and it is also possible for an update to be in an update group without being in any update
    package.
    If the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy is set to "Not Configured" and since this keeps the 3AM Automatic Updates default, if I was to remove the Software Update Maintenance Window from being between 1AM-4AM, will the WUA agent install updates
    at 3AM, or no because the SCCM 2012 client still manages and oversees it and basically blocks that from occurring?
    No, ConfigMgr does not in any way block the WUA; however, the WUA can only autonomously install updates it downloads directly from WSUS. Thus, since there are no updates approved or downloaded in your WSUS instance, there's nothing for it to download and
    install. If you happen to actually be going into WSUS and approving updates (which you should not be doing as its unsupported), then yes, it actually would install updates -- this is outside of ConfigMgr's control though. Generally, disabling the WUA via a
    GPO is the recommended to prevent any accidental installations or reboots (as the WUA wil also check for initiate pending reboots outside of ConfigMgr).

    You can use your browser and click the RPM's one at a time :)
    Or you can use Firefox and get the DownThemAll! extention and use that.
    Common methods like:
    $ wget -r -np http://public-yum.oracle.com/fail because of the {font:Courier}robots.txt{font} file put there for this very purpose.

  • Powershell, Deployment Packages and Software Updates OH MY!

    Ok, so I snooped around and was not able to find an answer to my question so here goes.
    I'm building an automated process where Orchestrator runbooks will automate the entire process of downloading updates, deploying to test groups, waiting for an approved RFC then deploying the updates. That's the 10k foot level view.
    My question revolves around the process of downloading software updates and placing them into a package.  It has been suggested that the Save-CMSoftwareUpdate does this, but reviewing the doc I am less inclined to believe this statement.  Was hoping
    to get lucky and have someone reply that they have done this and here are the interesting parts.
    This will all be performed via powershell commands with no direct user interaction at all.  So some powershell script that pops up the download software updates wizard will not work for me.
    Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom around this,
    Jim

    Ok, I know that we are playing 20 questions here, but I needed the first part to scope the next set of questions.
    You say that the approvals are coming from an external source...are you wanting to automate the parsing of the external source or are you planning on putting the approvals into a WSUS group for it to download the update content?  Keep in mind here
    that the UpdateID that I am referring to is a GUID and not something that someone is likely to give you in a human readable document.  The problem with Bulletin IDs is that they will likely apply to a number of operating systems and architectures. 
    It would be nice if you could get them to populate the approvals into the computer group directly to alleviate the ambiguity.  Of course you have to remember that someone has to keep it cleaned up.
    You can query WSUS for all of the UpdateIDs for a given computer group.
    Beyond this, you will now need to use the WSUS APIs and may want to take a look at the IUpdate interface:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.updateservices.administration.iupdate_members(v=vs.85).aspx and call the GetInstallableItems method, which will return a list of InstallableItem:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.updateservices.administration.installableitem_members(v=vs.85).aspx each item will have an ID, which is the ID that you will need to publish into your update package; it also has a Files property, which
    is a list of files for the installable item, and is of type UpdateFile:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.updateservices.administration.updatefile_members(v=vs.85).aspx.  These are the files that will get published into the update package.  Each update file will have a FileUri property, which will
    provide you with a web link to download the file.  If you are a bit more enterprising, you can mangle the FileUri into a UNC path, so that you can just copy the file directly.
    You should now create the update list.  In the process of creating the update list, you will want to create a table of UpdateID to CI...you will need this when you create your advertisement.
    Once you have gathered all of the update content, and their associated InstallableItem identifiers, you are ready to tell configuration manager to populate the update package with the installable items.  Interesting here is that you are dealing with
    the installable items and not directly with the updates.  Configuration manager will associate the InstallableItems with the appropriate updates to be shown in the interface.
    Once you get the package populated, you will need to create the advertisements to the appropriate collection.  By the way, this is done on an individual update basis.  Remember that update lists, update packages and update advertisements have
    no direct relationship to one another, although a stronger bond was created in 2012.
    Simple stuff huh?!?
    Remember that Configuration Manager will not pull metadata across for updates that are already superseded, so you may not always have a one to one reference.
    Keeping your packages cleaned up, removing extraneous update content that is no longer needed, is a completely different subject.
    It would be greatly appreciated if you would mark any helpful entries as helpful and if the entry answers your question, please mark it with the Answer link.

  • Android package contents in Flash Builder 4.5 : file list doesn't update

    I keep hitting what looks like a bug in Flash Builder 4.5, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it or can help me find a workaround.
    The problem occurs when I choose Export Release Build... and try to build an APK for Android. In the second screen of the wizard, under the Package Contents tab, there's a file list and you're supposed to select the files you want in the package. Simple enough. The problem is that this file list does not consistently reflect updates to the project file structure. So I usually see an outdated file list, which might or might not have all the files I actually need to put into the package.
    There doesn't seem to be a way to force the wizard to rescan the project and rebuild this list. I've tried restarting Flash Builder, deleting bin-release-temp, cleaning all projects, and a few other things besides. So far nothing works. (The Flash view always picks up my changes within a few seconds.)
    It seems like my only option is to use the command-line compiler. Not the end of the world, but I'd rather that the wizard just do what it's supposed to do.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I checked, but that doesn't seem to be the problem in my case. I've attached a screen shot showing the problem – the list of source files in the Flash view doesn't match the list of source files in the Export Release Build wizard. The red boxes highlight one of the areas where they differ.
    The file I want to include is StagesLoader/assets/game/assets.swf. (The directory StagesLoader/assets is included into the project as a separate source path.) As you can see, the "rooms" folder in that directory is available in the export wizard, but "assets.swf" is not.

  • How come when I update Firefox in Ubuntu, the existing french language package is not functional while in Windows, it always works without problems?

    When I upgrade Firefox (French, from 13.0 to 13.0.1) in Ubuntu, the existing french language pack does not work, while in Windows 7, it does work without problems. It seems to me that the language pack should be system independent.
    This problem happens in Ubuntu everytime there is an upgrade, and it is usually very difficult to find the correct language file that wors in Ubuntu. Again, in Windows, no such problem.
    I am puzzled.

    You always need to reinstall language packs if you update Firefox because the updater doesn't seem to be able to find them on its own.

    Reason of latest status (my latest update) was linked to same fact  "The source directory \\ourdomain\SCCM\WindowsUpdates\d8b72e39-6103-49fb-b1f6-14e096dd3cd6 doesn't exist or the SMS service cannot access it,"
    Thanks to :
    http://www.mssccmfaq.de/2012/06/21/finde-das-software-update/ I found out it was a superseded update for Internet Explorer 8 which we don't use anyway. So I deleted it and distmgr.log continues now. However, the image above (latest update didn't change
    to "in progress".
    Just curious, can't I delete any superseded/expired update within the package?

    I see a lot of deletion events in distmgr.log, not sure what's hapening:

  • SQL Server 2012 Cumulative update package 2 (CU2) for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 - why only for x86 ?

    Hey guys...
    Im a little bit confused... i wanted to download the newest hotfixes for SQL server 2012...
    But the download for :
    2983175 Cumulative update package 2 (CU2) for SQL Server 2012 Service Pack
    is only for the platform: x86 available ... but my SQL server 2012 is running in a x64 environment...
    (when i checked the older cumulative updates... they're all only for x86.. can someone tell me why ? )
    thanks and regards,
    Dominic

    There doesn't exist an SQL Express "Standard". It's two different editions.
    For Express there are three 32bit/64bit editions:
    Express, Express with Tools and Express with Advanced Services.
    Express with Tools is essentially Express with Management Studio Tools, Express with Advanced Services adds also BI (Business Intelligence) + Reporting Services.
    As for where you can apply the cumulative update, on the link you can see this:
        Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2, when used with:
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Express
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Business Intelligence
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Standard
            Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Web

  • I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones.

    Hi!
    I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones. All of them are "waiting"... for ever.Even, when trying to download a new app, a "dratf" icon appears on the ipad, not the app's own icon...
    I've tried to switch off and on the iPad, disconnect and reconnect the itunes id... and nothing works. Even deleting an app, to download it again, doesn't work. It even doesn't ask for my password!!! (Stays with the small square with a circle around, the one that gets "bolder" while downloading... but it doesn't get bolder now. Just stay...).
    Any suggestions? I wouldn't like to reset the iPad, since I've got data in some apps that I wouldn't like lo loose...
    By the way, I can not either delete some apps with thos "draft" icons... even when the alert that appears when trying to do that is shown and select "ok".
    Thank you in advance!
    Best Regards,
    Carlos.

    Hi,
    Thank you, Once_was_lost, but it doesn't work either. I tried it yesterday as an option (I think you're referring to the options of those apps in the settings app).
    The problems are still here... I've been able to update some apps using the PC itunes (connecting the app to it), but all the other apps are still "wating", and I have two new strange things:
    * I cannnot remove the apps that are downloading (at least those that are supposed to be downolading ) . But I could remove one from the PC... and now there is an "empty line" in the "to update apps list".
    * Stranger: though I cannot download new apps or music from the store, I can do in-app purchases!!! In that case, I'm asked for the password and the item downloads. How is it possible?????
    I can download with the same user in the PC, in the iPhone... but not in the iPad .
    I'm getting mad...
