On your PC how can you find the apk files that you install in BlueStacks? Someone suggested to go to C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks_bgp64\Engine\Android and check the .vdi files there with 7z. I did so, but I did not find anything in root.vdi. The system folders and files are there but no sign of installed apps. Data_0.vdi is a large file, I think the virtual system might be in that one, but if I open it in 7z, I can only see a large image file in it. It is 65GB in size, in spite of that I have no games and apps installed in Bluestacks, only Messenger. Should I mount that and browse it for the apks, or it is useless effort?
#Bencuri your are very near to solution. Just follow this steps to get apk files. Before the you need 7-zip software which is free.
Locate the folder C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks_nxt\Engine\ or bluestack engine folder which depends upon version of bluestacks
Locate your instance. For eg: my instance name is Nougat64 and it location will be C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks_nxt\Engine\Nougat64.
Here you will find a file name Data.vhd and you have to open it with 7zip.
In 7Zip go to app folder and here you will find all installed apps.
For eg: Here I want to locate instagram apk file then go to com.instagram.*

We market an application that runs on multiple platforms, including Macintosh. On the Macintosh the software gets packaged into a .dmg file, and when installed everything goes into the /Applications hierarchy.
Some of the files in our application's hierarchy are samples that users are supposed to be able to modify in place or copy to different files in the same directory. The problem is the permissions that seem to get applied within the /Applications hierarchy prevent our application from doing such operations.
So I either need to change the install so the directories and files in question within /Applications allow modification, or I need to segregate the sample files to a different location on the disk where they can be modified.
I've tried making sure the permissions on the files allow writing at the time the .dmg file is pulled together, but then when the product is installed the permissions get changed to more restrictive ones that don't allow file modification or copying.
I've been able to modify the packaging so the sample files get installed to a different location, but so far I haven't been able to find a suitable area on the Macintosh disk to put them so modification is allowed. I haven't been able to figure out how to tell the packaging that these sample files should be installed into the installer's home directory.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm afraid I'm a bit of an Apple novice. The procedure to build the .dmg file employs a Makefile that invokes commands like pkgbuild and productbuild. The productbuild command uses a --distribution qualifier that references a .xml file. There don't seem to be any scripts invoked.
I have a web folder on a Mac (running MAMP Pro) and have files been added within it on the fly, whose URL is as follows .
http://abc.com/folder/
I have another Windows machine that should constantly watch this folder and download any new file that gets dumped to this web folder to c:\macfolder\ (The files are always tsv's).
I know I can use wget to acquire files and run whatever program that would do this as a scheduler in windows to watch constantly, but whats the best way to watch this folder for the new files.
Thanks
P.S I do not know what are the best tags for this question. Help me out with that too.. :P
Since the directory already is mounted on Windows, your question appears to be a duplicate of this (and related) - assuming you're OK using C# to build such a tool:
Monitoring a directory for new file creation without FileSystemWatcher
If not so keen on the C# tool, there are command line solutions like this one here:
batch file to monitor additions to download folder
I have created a windows 7 gadget which works properly when i copy it to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\
but when i zip it and rename it to .gadget and then try to install .. install confirmation screens comes but gadget doesnt get install.
You can download my code from: http://reliablesoftwares.com/100thmilaadcountdown.zip (its a simple countdown)
I've been having the same problem, and I think found what I was doing wrong. I was zipping up the gadget in a folder with the gadget's name instead of just the gadget files.
I'm guessing that when you package your gadget, you're creating an archive from the gadget folder. Instead, you need to open the folder, and create the archive from the files themselves. In other words, the files (gadget.xml etc.) need to be in the top level of the archive.
That fixed it for me, hope it solves your problem too.
I have content to be installed, but it's file and folder layout is determined by the brittle, old, Windows installer. I can't fundamentally alter the structure, and I'd prefer not to alter it at all. I can't put it in a PackageMaker package and somehow get the Windows installer to figure out how to read it, for example.
Is there a way to use PackageMaker without having to bundle up the real content at build time? Is there a way to build the package with symlinks and have PM honor them at run time?
I need to support 10.5-6.
edit: If I could use an uncompressed package, that might be able to share the content files between installers. Is there way to do that?
I'll try to give more info about what I'm doing, if something isn't clear please let me know. Please forgive any redundancy.
I need to create a Mac/PC DVD to install my application. The application consists of either a Mac or Windows "reader app", and about a GB of "content" files. There is an existing Windows installer that reads installs the Windows reader and the content files off the DVD and installs them. It is (unfortunately) not a possibility to change the Windows installer. Therefore, the shared content files on the DVD must remain exactly as they are on the disk, I can not zip or package them up, or anything.
I need to make a Mac installer that will install the Mac app and the content. So, the installer needs to install the content from the folder structure of the DVD, which it will have to look at during install-time. My understanding is that PackageMaker requires you to package up the installed files during the creation "build phase" of the installer. That won't work for me because I can't alter the content on disk.

During creating installer using packagemaker we can attach both a file and a folder also we can specify the path it will be installed. If u want customized way of storing the installed data eg- in some directory structure then in pre installed script write the script to create directory to be created.
I am not able to "attach" files or folder to the installer when I create it. I need the installer to read the content off the DVD when the user runs the installer.
Let me know if there is something that needs to be clarified further.
It sounds like you want the .pkg to copy the files right from the DVD, instead of having PackageMaker bundle the files into the .pkg, correct?
As far as I know a .pkg cannot do this natively. As NSD has mentioned you can do this in a postinstall/postflight script, but you want to display a proper progress bar. The only option left that I can see is to write a Cocoa app which not only copies the files off the DVD but also displays a progress bar in its GUI, and use that app as the postinstall "script".

Can you please describe your problem more deeply so that i may help you
Write a postinstall or postflight script that copies the files off of the DVD.
How to run the exe file to other system?
Using VB 6
I copied the exe file to other system, then run that exe file, it not working it showing error
“component comdlg32.ocx or one its dependencies not correctly registered a file is missing or invalid”`
Can any one help me how to avoid this error?
When deploying VB6 applications, you should create a Setup, this will manage the DLL's that the VB6 application depends on. Since it is not enough to just copy the .Exe and .Dll's. You also need to register them.
The creation of the setup is included in the VB6 environment.
You can read this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830761 which is very comprehensive.

Or if you just want the redistributable files check this kb http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290887
Copy and register the comdlg32.ocx on other system. Link: Fix Missing Comdlg32.ocx Run time Error in Portable apps.
Create an installer for your program.
Unless you are deploying your program to really old versions of Windows (prior to XP), one nice alternative is to create an XCopy package using reg-free COM. This is fairly easy for most simple programs using Make My Manifest though it can be done by hand or using other tools if you invest in a little study.
Even then a formal installer package is usually desireable though, if nothing else to create Start Menu shortcuts and set up application workspace directories.
Keep in mind that even the PDWizard is difficult to use blindly. Packaging and deployment is a topic that requires some learning investment.
Outdated or missing comdlg32.ocx runtime library is causing this error. Here is a copy of comdlg32.ocx (~60 Kb Zip). Download the file to the Desktop and extract the comdlg32.ocx to your the Windows\System32 folder.
Note: If you already have a copy of comdlg32.ocx, backup the existing file to a different folder and delete it from System32 folder.
1. Download comdlg32.zip and save to Desktop.
2. Unzip the file using WinZip or any other utility.
3. Extract comdlg32.ocx to Windows\System32 folder.
4. Type the following command from Start, Run dialog:
regsvr32 %Systemroot%\System32\comdlg32.ocx
Typically a VB 6 app will consist of an .exe some .dll libraries and a config.ini file. The exe is the starting place and it consumes the dll's and config.ini and other resources to run => you have to have all parts in the same directory for the app to run typically called "packaging" an app. E.g. An installer simply ensures that all those files in a packaged app are placed on a users computer in an Windows application directory, and creates a shortcut launch icon so that a user can click the shortcut in the start bar and the app will run.
To "package" your app (put the dll's and exe in the same folder) you can use an Add-In called "Package and Deployment Wizard":
And here is a demo of using it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT7jaoAiKDo
You can either package and create an installer and package or just create a package:
Now if the Deployment Wizard doesnt show as an add-in on your VB6 Editor Installation, go to editor's program folder and find the tools Tools folder, i.e:
Then you should be able to find the Deployment Wizard there:
Open it to use it.
