Updating Registry in Global Package yields no change

Having another odd issue.  I have an application, ProgramX. We are publishing it to machines (Global).  After publishing it to the end users machine (tester), an issue was found, but a simple registry change will fix it.  So I go into the
package (Edit package, not Update), make the reg change, save and publish the updated version.
Computer 1: (had package already loaded) - Reg change does not get applied.  Even after removing / reloading package.
Computer 2: (did not have package loaded, added to publishing) - Reg change is present, application runs as expected.
No matter what I do, I can't get computer 1 to show the change.  I dismiss it as something wrong with that system. Computer 2 is a fresh image.
Another issue comes up, same thing: simple registry fix will resolve.  I go through the same steps, publish the update, etc.
Computer 1: Still no change seen, so now 2 issues behind.
Computer 2: No change seen, now 1 issue behind.
Computer 3: (No package, added this one as well): Good to go.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?  Or should I open a case / file bug report?
Note specifically, I am not resequencing.  I am merely clicking Edit Existing Package and changing the value in the Virtual Registry.
EDIT: Note, Running AppV 5.0 SP2 HF5
Remember, mark posts that are helpful, or if it has answered your question, mark as answer.

The user changes are layered on top of whatever is in the package. So in this application, whatever setting you are trying to change is already in the user personalisation layer, and repairing the package wipes this layer, solving the issue.
If you find yourself in a situation where you need to repair the package for every user when issuing an upgrade, another way around it is to use Save As and save as a new package with a new GUID. Then the personalisation layer for the older package will
no longer be used and it will be starting from fresh.
If you need to deploy this registry update without wiping the user's application settings, then putting the settings in the config file is the best way forward.

  • Global Package Check Switch and Package Attributes

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to know where can I display/change the Global Package Check Switch of a system in release ECC 6.0? I know it can be set to "Pure Package Concept" for example.
    I've looked into the SAP on-line documentation and the system customizing (SPRO) but without luck. Can anyone guide me?
    I am also looking for the Package attributes. In Package Builder (SE21) there is suppose to be a way to set a package to "Package Check as Server". I saw in the SAP on-line documentation that there is a "Attributes" tab but I cannot find it. Does someone know where I could find such attributes?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Sylvain

    Netweaver 7.0 EHP 1 Trial, same question: Paketprüfung als Server/Client checkboxes don't show up in package builder properties:
    »ABAP Objects« (Keller/Köhler) S.69 Abb.2.13 shows checkboxes to turn on package checks / Paketprüfung als Server / Client, yet no obvious way to make these checkboxes appear.
    This question has not been answered, don't know why it is »Assumed Answered«.

  • [svn] 4184: Fix for @ see tag referencing a non-global package function generates an empty link@ href in DITA

    Revision: 4184

    Fix for @see tag referencing a non-global package function generates an empty link@href in DITA
    Also now the deprecated should show up in the property and method summary table.
    and when @see results in an invalid href, an additional attribute called invalidHRef will be added to the dita file - this isn't picked up by xslt but will be consumed by FB.
    QE Notes: Some baselines may need to be updated due to new attribute for invalidHRef

    Update!
    v3.1 has a major bug! Even though it may appear to work properly, strange characters may leak onto the end of URLs, and you may even get segfaults. Sorry I didn't properly test it before releasing it!
    Technical details:
    I calloc()ed the memory for the link href improperly, per:
    link = calloc((noprepend ? 0 : urllen) + i - s, 1);
    Once I fixed it with "+ 1", per:
    link = calloc((noprepend ? 0 : urllen) + i - s + 1, 1);
    it worked great.
    I may use a method that doesn't use a calloc() in the future; this works for now, and I'm not gonna knock it...

  • Re-download a Software Update to a Deployment Package

    Hi,
    Is there a way to force SCCM to re-download a Software Update into a Deployment Package?
    When you download a Software Update (right-click the update and click download), the wizard asks which Deployment Package to add it to (an existing package or create a new one).  The update is then downloaded to the UNC path specified in the package
    with each update under a different directory (named as a GUID).
    My issue is that many of these GUID directories have been accidentally deleted from the UNC path.  I know how it happened and that isn't the issue here - I simply want to download the updates again.  I would like to right-click my Software Update
    group, select "Download", point it to the existing package and have all the updates download again.
    When I try and do this, the wizard works fine and it processes each update and says "Success" - however, they are not actually re-downloaded!  It's like there is a link somewhere between the update and the package such that it knows it should
    already be there and therefore it skips over it without actually checking whether it really does exist.
    Is there a way to force SCCM 2012 to ignore the fact that it thinks the update is already there and re-download it?  What I really want to do is change the "Downloaded" field from "Yes" to "No" which I think would achieve
    what I want to do - I just can't find a way to do it.
    What am I missing?
    Cheers,
    David

    I had this same basic problem on a new SCCM 2012 R2 suite I built. I made all the Software Update Groups and Packages and deployed them. They all worked except for the one for Office 2010. Errors said could not process that package, couldn't find a
    folder within the source location for the package, and on the DPs the Office 2010 package was there but had 0 for the size of the package.
    I deleted the Office 2010 source update folder and package. Then you go to the updates in question, r-click and select deploy (it'll let you do that even if it thinks it's already deployed), create the new package, let the download run, r-click, and edit
    membership as needed, and deploy. This worked for me.

    I have been updating my PSE since 10. Recently I purchased PSE13 as I didn't see an update for my 12. I was changing to a new laptop as my old laptop had been patched and worked and was showing signs of giving out. It was a Window's 7OS. My new one is a Windows 8 OS so I bought the 13 and downloaded it on the new laptop. Our desktop had died so I downloaded the 13 on the new  desk computer also. Not thinking I downloaded 13 on my old laptop as I hope to get it patched up enough to be a backup for my photography. When I tried to activate it I realized that I had downloaded it too often. I didn't know you could only use it on two computers. Learn something new every day.. Any way I removed it and now my PSE 12 does not seem to be working. Now it could be something that I did or something that is an issue with the laptop. this laptop has all the previous editions on board as I always tried to update, except for the year I got a really good deal on Black Friday. I also notice that the new laptop has a copy of PSE 12 in the program list. To my knowledge I have never deactivated any of my PSE's except the extra 13 downloaded. Bottom line, do I need to go in and deactivate previous PSE versions and removed them from my computer? I could certainly use the space and secondly, can I deactivate the PSE 12 and then go back and reacitivate it and install it again on the old laptop or the desktop, whichever I deside would be the most appropriate place for the newer program. For the PSE 12 since it is an updater for 11, does the 11   still need to be on the laptop? thanks for anyone who can understand what I am trying to say and can advise me as to my next move. Thank you very much.

    Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard, if you can?
    NO. There is no way to downgrade your iPhone OS back to iOS6. Apple makes downgrades of their mobile OS not possible.
    If you can, the only thing you can do is upgrade your Mac's OS X operating system.

  • Problem with npm installing global packages

    If I try to install a global package with npm like :
    sudo npm install -g grunt
    npm will install the package in "/usr/lib/node_modules/". But it is not installing the executable anywhere.
    The result of npm -g bin is
    /usr/bin
    So that is where I would expect the executable to be placed. But nothing is there. So if I run grunt, it just complains that grunt can't be found.
    Any ideas? Thanks
    ====================
    EDIT: OK everyone, please ignore me, I'm just being thick.
    You don't install grunt globally. Grunt is the local package to install. To get the global grunt command, you install grunt-cli. Doing things correctly and everything works fine.

    This thread is a year and two days old.  The OP indicated what they had found and presumably are no longer following this thread.
    I have no idea what npm is about, but if the OP's comments don't help, pleas go ahead and open a new thread that you will own.   Maybe provide a bit more information.   In the mean time I am going to close this old thread.

  • After having updated Ipad2 to IOS7 I can't change Video to Photo and viceversa on photocamera. Solutions?

    After having updated Ipad2 to IOS7 I can't change Video to Photo and viceversa on photocamera. Solutions?

    Have you tried swiping up or down on the screen in the photos app? When you swipe up or down, that cycles through the Photo, Video and Square modes in the app. The current mode appears in yellow type.
    The screen on the iPad in photos App is going to look different that what you see if you click on the link that was posted for you above - that link shows what the screen will look like on the iPhone, but they are similar.

  • Forcing Update of Default Global Address List

    How can I force update of the Global Address List (Default Global Address List). I have about 62 000 MailContacts objects which are synchronisze regularly with AD and the information feature correctly both in AD and under Mail Contact (EMC) in Exchange2007.
    However, most of the MailContacts are not showing in the Global Address List. The Mailcontacts are missing both in Outlook and OWA.
    What is the default schedule for the GAL created during exchange installation?
    Though I know there is now possibility to edit it and that is not my wish, but can at least force an update so that it takes all the available information
    Thanks

    I started this thread in summer 2010 and occassionaly still being faced with this problem.
    The Problem is actually to be able to "STAMP" Mailcontacts received from external source, without any addition EmaiAddress entry from the Default Policy (our
    DomainName) being added to them. Everything works fine with OWA once „Update-GlobalAddressList“ is applied, but outlook seems not able to work correctly until
     the “STAMPING” - Update-EmailAddressPolicy”
    is applied. I get this error message when trying to send mail:
    „Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:
    RecepientDisplayName
    The recipient's e-mail address was not found in the recipient's e-mail system. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. Please check the e-mail address and try resending this message, or provide the following diagnostic text to your
    system administrator.“
    In case there is not workaround to avoid the additional EmailAddress, then with which PS command can I run through only the Mailcontact and delete this additional EmailAddres
    entry.
    Thanks

  • Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed...

    Hello,
    I have a legacy application written in VB6 and using Oracle OLEDB Provider (version 9 and updated to the last ones from oracle site)
    I've a problem during insert of a record using recordset method (AddNew).
    The returned message is "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read. "
    I know that problem is caused by a Before Insert trigger that I CANNOT change.
    Trigger does not change any primary key values !!!. It put only some default values on other not rilevant columns.
    I tried to use the recordset Property option "Update Criteria" = adCriteriaKey without success !
    I had same problem with SQL Server but i solved putting into the trigger SET NOCOUNT ON.
    I think problem is related to the fact that ADO tries to calculate number of affected rows and for doing that it use a where clause built on the changed columns but using values it had on the client.
    Other important info:
    Cursor = adUseClient (and i cannot adUseServer)
    Provider= MSDAORA (version 9.2...)
    Oracle server = 9.1
    Trigger causing problem = BEFORE INSERT (for each row)
    Thanks in advance

  • Where do I find the global package array g_fnn for a particular column?

    Hi Everyone,
    I found out from one of the tutorials that when a page is submitted, the value of a column is stored in a global package array.
    Can you tell me where or how I can find out what nn in g_fnn would be for a particular column?
    I was thinking maybe it corresponds to the position of the columns in the Report Column Attributes of the Report Attrutes page.
    This information will help me refer to it in pl/sql code.
    Thanks.
    Emad

    Hi Scott.
    I think I may be able to answer my own question. Ooopps!
    I noticed in the tutorial they refered to the deptno column as g_f09. I noticed in the Region Source under the Region Definition tab that a total of 9 columns were defined in the select statement.
    Is this assumption correct by stating that if the Sal column is the 6th one defined in the select statement, it is g_f06 ?
    Thanks.
    Emad.
