Updating a Deployed app on Windows RT 8.1

I have an app I have written for Windows RT. I am able to deploy it using add-appxpackage in powershell. I have installed the Side Loading key and this all works fine. What I am looking for is a way to update the app for users that are in the field. We will
eventually have over 50 users using this app and the logistics of bringing in each tablet so I can do the add-appxpackage individually would be rather daunting. Is there a way to install an update to an app from within the app? I can write code to have
the new version downloaded to the tablet and stored in the local storage for the app. The problem is finding a way to run the add-appxpackage from within the app. Is there a way to do this?

Deploying App On Windows Box

I ve developed a simple web app that runs perfectly on a Mac OS box.
I now need to deploy this onto Windows - I ve set the majority of things up but have come across a problem where the JSP tags are not getting translated - So for example if you do c:out... - It actually prints c:out and not the translated text.
I have copied a version of standard.jar and jstl.jsr to the WEB-INF/lib folder - Is there anything else that would cause this?
I am completely lost at this

Steve_Johnson wrote:

1) The webapp's web.xml must be declared to at least Servlet 2.3.
2) JSTL 1.1 JAR's (jstl.jar and standard.jar) in classpath (WEB-INF/lib is the usual place, yes).
3) JSTL taglibs in JSP must be declared with JSTL 1.1 URI syntax (i.e. no _rt suffix).
Nothing less and nothing more. If you still encounter this problem, then there may be something dirty or messed up somewhere in the configuration. E.g. duplicate JAR's of different versions in the classpath (take appserver's libraries in account), having extracted the JSTL JAR's and placed the loose TLD files in the classpath unnecessarily, having declared the TLD files in the webapp's web.xml unnecessarily, etcetera. Make sure that anything is clean and straight.

When i login to update my existing apps, the login window shows the wrong apple id. and it's all prayed out, i can't change it. how do i solve this problem?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Windows 8.1 Update - issues deploying printers via GPO from a 2012R2 Print Server

Hi,
I am trying to deploy a single printer to Windows 8.1 clients in a K-12 environment. We have about 1200 laptops and about 25% of those laptops are installing the printer. Several different users can log on and the printer may or may not be there. The printer
is being deployed to the Computer not the User. If the printer was successfully installed shouldn't the printer be available immediately after logging in with different AD accounts? Sometimes it shows up 10mins later as if it needed to install it again. I
read the changes from v3 to v4 printing in Windows 8, Ive checked the event log errors, printer shares, etc. Deploying Printers to Windows 8.1 clients is poor at best even when it supposed to be easier for IT to manage. Also I was under the impression that
Windows 8.1 clients do not attempt to downloads drivers from a windows print server anymore as they opt to use a v4 print class driver.
Environment Details:
Windows 2012R2 Printer Server all patched, Windows 8.1 all patched, AD users are identical as well as the computers (reside in the same OUs) Printer is deployed to the computers, Point and print restrictions is completely disabled. Restarting the print spooler
on the client has little to no effect. Computers connect wirelessly to the network and print server is in the same building. Started pushing to the user as well to see if it helps. Windows 7 clients are unaffected and get the printer consistently.
Errors:
The print spooler failed to download and import the printer driver from \\Server into the driver store for driver KONICA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS. Error code= 800f0242.
The print spooler failed to import the printer driver that was downloaded from \\Server\print$\x64\PCC\koazca__.inf_amd64_664b51505681ff6d.cab into the driver store for driver KONICA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS. Error code= 800f0242. This can occur if there is
a problem with the driver or the digital signature of the driver.
The default printer was changed to \\Server\Konica_Copier,winspool,Ne05:. See the event user data for context information.

error from event id 600?

VS2013 - I cannot deploy and debug windows phone 8.1 store app to windows phone device

Hello, I create a project from C#-> Store Apps -> Windows Phone Apps, but I cannot deploy my apps to my blue device. There was a error message show "Element not found". I can run the app from Blend, and found Blend package the app to Appx
file. Is any method that we can deploy store app into windows phone blue device directly and how to debug it on VS 2013?

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN.
I am afraid that this is not the proper forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss and ask questions about the Visual Studio Debugging tools, Visual Studio Profiler tools, and Visual Studio Ultimate IntelliTrace.
Since your issue needs professional windows phone knowledge, and there is dedicated forums for windows phone development issues
Windows Phone Development forums, you could choose one of its sub forums depends on your issue like Tools
for Windows Phone development or
Developing for Windows Phone .
In addition, I did a research, you could check whether the following links help.

How to get sideload product key in order to deploy windows store app into Windows 8 pro and windows RT

From where can i get the Windows 8 sideload product key and the process how to get it .please explain in detail .

I was able to resolve my issue once I worked with Microsoft Professional Services. Here are the steps needed to deploy a Windows 8 Store app for anyone else looking for help on this.
Create your app package in Visual Studio
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/jj874388.aspx
Create an app certificate using PowerShell as administrator, here is one way to do it.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj835832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Install the app on the device
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj835832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Ensure Device has the correct GP settings
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/scd-odtsp/archive/2012/09/27/windows-8-sideloading-requirements.aspx
Install the application on the device
    Refer to Sideload the app for user section
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/jj874388.aspx
* If you run your app now you should get an error, this is because you have not installed a Sideloading Key
And the missing piece of the puzzle What is a Sideload key and how can I get one?
* Documentation on this is confusing so here is what I needed to know and found out
    Sideload key is a product key that is needed to be added to the device so that it can use Windows 8 apps that are not from the Store
    It is not a requirement to have the machine joined to the domain or have Windows Enterprise installed on it. In my case my target was a Windows 8.0 Pro tablet.
    You do not need Windows 8.1 to use sideloading it will work on Windows 8.0 as well
    You can purchase a key from a Third Party Distributor but you will need to know what to ask for
    Ask for a Windows 8 Sideloading Key, Sometimes referred to as a Windows 8 Embedded Sideloading product key
    They cost about $100.00 a pop but they sell them as a Volume License so the minimum you can by is 5.
    However in my case it turned out that my company had an Enterprise Sideloading License, I just needed to know who to ask and what to ask for.
    Once you get your xxxxx-xxxxx- Slideloading key from the distributor here are the steps to installing it on the device (Section 2 Step 3)

How to update apps on windows 7

I have windows 7 64 bit and itunes 11 64bit. It states in the manual to click on the app in the library and press F5 to update. i did this and nothing happens. i tried it with numbers ( which on the ipad states there is an update for it) but nothing happened. What is the Windows 7 control key that needs to be click on or the option in the menu in itunes.
thanks

Hi offi55
Why do you need a new BIOS? Can you notice some issues with the notebook or why do you try to update?
However, I think the update should only be done on preinstalled Windows version (XP or Vista). I assume this update wasnt tested and designed for Windows 7 so I think this would be the reason why you cant update it.
So install Windows from Toshiba recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

I was sent a url. Instead of Safari, it opened blank app store window; today, app shows 1 update available: GLIDE. Never downloaded it, not showing in settings?

I received an a text including a shrunk URL. I unshrunk the URL, www.glide.com. I then pressed link in message. Instead of opening Safari, a blank App store window opened. Later I noticed an update available in the app store. The update was for GLIDE video messaging app. I NEVER INSTALLED IT, and IT DOES NOT SHOW UP IN SETTINGS. any ideas???

If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember

App update always show install on windows phone 8.1 but works perfectly on windows phone 8

Hi
I had recently added an app update and the app was showing install in windows phone 8.1 devices. Originally the previous version of the app was available in the phone. The app update that was published was showing as a install instead of update.
Windows phone 8 devices worked well although. Can you please explain why it is behaving differently on windows phone 8.1

I saw that article. The problem is CurrentAppSimulator does not resolve in my code. So even adding the needed .xml file does not help because I cannot call
await
CurrentAppSimulator.ReloadSimulatorAsync(appSimulatorStorageFile);
without getting a compiler error on CurrentAppSimulator not being recognized.

How do I remove an update from the app window that I don't want to update or download?

The Mac app store keeps telling me I have a software update for a app I have deleted from my computer. How do I get rid of it.

If the application came with an uninstaller, you should use that. If it didn't, usually dragging the app from the Applications folder to the trash is sufficient.
You could go to categories and find the errant app. If it has a formal uninstaller you could download it again and then follow their uninstall procedure. It will cost you nothing as you originally paid for it.
If not you can try a program like AppDelete.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31123
But a little light reading via typing in 'Deleting Apps' in the search box is often as good a way to pick up specialist advice.
Hope this goes some way to helping.

Wrong apple ID on the login window when trying to update a purchased app

I can't update my purchased app even the free app as well. When I tap on the update button, it shows the apple ID as "[email protected]" on the login box. But that one is not my apple Id. This happening the app I bought from AppStore. I have already reseted my password then I did sign out and sign in restarting my iPad. Please give a solution.

Nice ID ....
Have you tried siginng into your won account in Settings>Store - you can sign out of Mr. Jobs account there and sign in with your own. You can also do this in the featured tab of the App Store in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Unable to update or purchase apps using iTunes on Windows 7

When I try to update my apps, I get the following message:
The disk could not be read from or written to. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
My iTunes media folder is on a Netgear Stora NAS. I have been using this configuration for at least 2 years with no problem. When I try to download an app, a temporary Folder is created in the iTunes Media/Downloads folder but that's it. The download doesn't actually take place. I can update or download apps directly from my iphone or ipad.
I have tried all the recommended solutions I can find online. iTunes diagnostics does not detect any errors. I can write files to the NAS without a problem. I have deauthorized and reauthorized my computer. I have done a complete uninstall and then reinstall of itunes and associated Apple software. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas from anyone?
