Windows App Certification Toolkit fails on Certification requirements for Windows desktop apps Point 5.5

Using the latest Version 3.4 of Windows App Certification Toolkit to check Windows 8.1 compatibility our Installer was not approved on:
Certification requirements for Windows desktop apps
5.5 Your app installer must create the correct registry entries to allow successful detection and uninstalls
But all necessary settings are done and after the installation of our application we will find all settings in the registry.
We use an MSI Installer embedded in a bootstrapper exe. The MSI Installer is made with the WiX Toolset V3.6.
The same Application Installer got approved on November, 2014.
We checked this issue against the latest version of MSThreatModelingToolkit installer which also was made with WiX toolset and it fails, too.
So is there a higher restriction or do we miss anything?

Hi Wibudev,
I would suggest you to double check if you have miss something in registry, per documentation mentioned, the installation module must create the following registry entries during installation:
DisplayName
InstallLocation
Publisher
UninstallString
VersionMajor or MajorVersion
VersionMinor or MinorVersion
WACK 3.4 is the latest version, I don't think there would be any higher restriction but I will recommend you to test with another computer to see if the validate fails again. Sometimes the issue could be on the PC environment.

In the middle of the installation processing, this has appeared: "There is a problem with the windows installer package. A program is required for this install to complete could not be run." my question is, what is that specific program?

Why does Firefox require a Plug In for Windows Media 11 and it doesn't exist for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit

I wanted to listen to an Internet Radio Station and every time I clicked the listen now button on that site, Firefox tells me a Plug In is required for Window Media Player 11 so I follow the link to be told it is a manual download. When I get to the download site, I cannot find a Plug In download that is suitable to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit so, I cannot listen to the radio station I want too and would like to know if there are any other options.

You can use the new WMP plugin for XP/Vista as well on Windows 7 with WMP 11.

This has been fixed. Answer is that I needed to go to "Apple Software Update" and repair it. (From my Control Panel).

How much interaction is required for magazine type apps?

Hi All,
I have just had my app rejected for the second time. Apple quoted that it lacks interaction as well as expected qualities such as in app purchases.
After the first rejection i went through and redesigned the app, putting in lots of scrollable text boxes, slide Multi Object states, Pan and zoom, Aspect differences (ie horizontal vs vertical), Web content (twitter feeds, facebook etc), video, navto links from content pages, slideshows, pull out tabs, live links etc. Each article has at least 2-3 of these in it.
My question is how much do i need to put in? I think any more would be doing it just for the sake of it. It is an educational magazine on Marine Aquarium keeping, underwater conservation etc and has a lot of textual information as well as photos. I thought that bu adding a few different interactive features in each article that apple would approve it as it is now a lot more than what you could do as a web based app.
Also quoting that it lacks in app purchases as a reason for rejection? I always thought that this was a developers option, not a requirement. We only have 1 app presently in review and want to know how this goes before committing to more apps. Therefore i chose a single issue license where in app purchases are not allowed. If i had known that this is a requirement for magazine stlye apps, then we wouldnt have gone down this path to start with as the $1000's of dollars for a professional license is not economically viable for a small business....
Has anyone else been through this?
Im happy to share our published folio to anyone for feedback, as at the moment im really not sure what Apple are requiring.
If you have had a magazine type app approved in the App store and can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Email me your adobe email and i will share the published folio for your opinions.
I appreciate any advice.
Cheers,
Michael

Hi, Michael-
We are experiencing the same response with our first app attempt. The review response was along the lines of 'simple interaction, would not appeal to a wide audience, and better suited as an HTML5 web mobile app (which apple claims they do not approve for the app store; such as mobile apps with a phonegap shell, etc).
After our response referring to this as a multi-publication shell to which we would make additional content available, their reply was opaque stating that apps are not approved due to the number of features and capabilities, but primarily those that provide an in-app experience you could not get anywhere else. I was under the assumption the DPS system was pretty good at offering a rich experience compared to the print world it is modeled after.
I was very excited after testing the capabilities of DPS but now see that regardless of the investments/time you put into these publications apple still has the final word on whether it will be available to the masses in their 'curated' store.
Best of luck to you, let us not give up.

I have a time capsule connected directly to fiber connection. I have connected a windows server directly to TC and configured it for remote desktop connection. From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home. What config I need on TC?

I have a time capsule directly connected to fibre optic point out. All pcs and macs are connected wirelessly to the internet. I have connected a windows server pc to TC. When configured for Remote desktop connection, I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet. I guess I need to change some settings in TC to get some ip adress for the remote desktop connection from my home. Anyone who can help me out? Appreciate it.

I am a little lost now.. I have read again your title and your first post.. and they seem inconsistent.
In the title you state.
From my interanet I can access srvr but not from my home.
Interanet is not a word I know.. I assumed intranet...are you talking about internet or intranet? And just to be clear say WAN or LAN.. !! Is your home part of the interanet??
In the first post you state,
I can access windows server from within interanet but don't know how to access it from internet.
Now this is more normal.. the issue is not in the home at all, it is accessible from there but fails from internet. If this is correct, then you can do a few obvious things to determine where the problem is.
But first I need to know are you actually testing from a different internet connection to your home lan.. you are not just trying the public IP from inside the LAN as that will fail due to the TC not doing NAT Loopback.
I am also assuming the TC is the only router in the network, and has the public IP on the WAN interface.
And I am also assuming you have turned on the ping responder and you can actually ping your public ip from the internet and get a response. This helps no end in figuring out where there are issues. Strange but I have no idea if there is a ping responder in the TC WAN so you might need to forward that as well. Also if you have a dynamic public ip address are you using dyndns or no-ip or some other service to connect.
1. Test bypassing the TC.. plug the internet connection straight into the windows server,, and test if you have access. If yes, the TC is the problem.. if not, your setup on the windows server is wrong.. look at firewall in particular.
2. Assuming from test 1 the TC is the problem, Post the screen shots of the port forwarding setup for us to look at.. that is by far the easiest way to check it out.
There are lots of references to port forwarding in the TC.. eg
http://must-know-mac.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-port-forward-time-capsule.html
The things that generally go wrong are firewall on the computer that is accepting the port.
The ISP doesn't allow connections on a particular port. (not likely in your case)
The router is behind another router.. double NAT will kill any port forward.
Upnp has already allocated a port.. not an issue as TC doesn't use upnp although a reboot of everything after you set port forwards is well worth it.. amazing how things don't stick properly without a reboot.
IP on the receiving device is not static and so changes.
Not enough or right type of ports are opened. This is always messier than it looks as one port is often not enough for two way communications.

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?
please throw some insight

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Does this happens for this particular application?
For a test you can publish Notepad\WordPad as RemoteApp and check whether facing same issue. Please check the result and let us know. If it’s working normally then might seems there is some configuration issue with MS Dynamics App.
Does this happens for all user or specific users?
Which version of RDP Client you are using for client system?
Try to install RDP 8.1 for better feature.

HT5622 I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app. How can I find out what she purchased? Can I get credit for it? I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase.

I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app. I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase. How can I find out what she purchased? Can I get credit for it?

The password is good for 15 minutes to make purchases. You should receive a receipt in 24 to 48 hours for the purchases. There is a link to Report an issue. You could use that to start a conversation with iTunes Support about a refund.
Apple considers all sales final. But has been known to offer a one time refund. So the question is, do you want to use your one time refund on this purchase or one more expensive in the future?

Update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

I designed a folio in Indesign CS6 and created an app of the folio in adobe dps and succesfully uploaded it to the app store. Now I want to update my app. What is the correct procedure for updating an app/folio?

no, just update your content and recreate the Single Edition App. Your certificate should still be valid so there is not need to recreate these.
... your App ID absolutely need to be the exact same one you used for the first version if you want to make sure this is an update.

Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

Hi,
I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
(https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.

You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

Uninstall Failed, Not listed in Creative Cloud Desktop App list

I keep trying to uninstall ANY and ALL of the Creative Cloud programs downloaded on my computer - Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro - and I keep getting the message in the screen shot I've attached. This goes for the CC AND CC 2014 versions. I have them all. None are appearing in my Creative Cloud deskop app. It is saying I have no apps downloaded. Right now I am in the middle of installing all of the CC 2014 versions (even though the programs panel of my computer (Windows 7 64 bit) says all of these programs are already downloaded, screenshot included below also).
In fact, moments ago - today is 10/24 - my install of InDesign CC 2014 just completed yet my computer says it was installed on 10/6???? Yes, even after a reboot.
Please note: This morning I started by uninstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop App and then reinstalling it successfully.
AND YES, I have already tried the Cleaner Tool 5 times, so please DO NOT suggest that. It does not work. I've also rebooted my system several times.
There is no firewall on my computer. Virus checking is not blocking it either.
Any one else experiencing the same? I need this fixed yesterday. I haven't been able to work in 24 hours.
Please help!

I'm experiencing this same problem where I can't uninstall or install any CC products, and haven't found a resolution yet. The cleaner tool definitely doesn't help and I keep getting messages that the uninstall failed.

Inquire about the best laptop specifications for Developing Windows Apps and 3D modelling Animation using "Kinect for Windows v2"?

I need some help in choosing laptop that is most compatible with "Kinect for Windows v2"; in order to develop Windows Apps, and 3D modelling Animation and Character Design. Which is better (Specifications):
HP Pavilion Notebook PC 15-p150ne
AMD A10-5745M +
AMD Radeon R7 M260 (2 GB DDR3L dedicated) +
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OR
HP Pavilion Notebook PC 15-p034ne
Intel Core i5-4210U + NVIDIA GeForce 840M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) + 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L

The second system with the Intel chipset will more than likely have the Intel USB3 chipset required for Kinect. As for GPU they are similar, but the i5 with DDR3 1600MHZ ram is a better option. Keep in mind, if you are doing anything in-depth for
3D, a laptop isn't the best options, but if you have to go mobile then you have to decide what is best for your requirements.

Sytem Requirements for Windows .exe published as aggregator project in CV6 (Windows 7, 64 bit)

Dear all,
I am using CV6 for Windows (7, 64 bit, German version) and just published an aggregator .exe consisiting of 13 .swf files. It seems as if it the .exe runs fine in most of the times.
However, some (international) customers have problems starting the .exe though the FlashPlayer has been installed, and (German!) CV Aggregator info boxes of error messages will come up.
The box below says that the FlashPlayer version installed is not the latest one. The latest FlashPlayer version has been installed successfully, but without affecting the existing FlashPlayer installation (????). Doubleclick the .exe file again.
In other words, the .exe cannot be started not even with the latest FlashPlayer installed.
Could you please list all Windows system requirements for running this .exe.
Thank you very much!
