I have a .Appx package made out of a setup I made using NSIS. I want to know if there is a way I can trigger installation of shortcuts of executable(s) of my package at developer-defined places. We can do it in an NSIS package by writing a .nsi script. Is there something similar for .Appx packages?
We can't interfere with the UWP app installation process, but you can modify the app to request the user to be fixed in the start menu when the app first starts.
If you want to know this, please read this document.
Best regards.
I have a Joomla site running on a windows machine. The site was at 1.6 when some update requests came in. I decided to update the site, but the automated process didn't work, so I started FTPing the files up there manually.
I followed the instructions for the manual upgrade at http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_1.6.5_to_1.7 once I got the site to 1.6.5, but my problems had already started before that.
Now when I go to mysite.com/administrator most images are not there and when I try to log in I get kicked up to my site root rather than the /administrator folder. I took the opportunity to look at the code and none of the image src attributes or the form action attributes include "/administrator".
Soooo I need a little advice as to why this is happening. I would rather not have to restore from my backup and start over at 1.6. I was kinda hoping for this to be my first Joomla 3 site. Thanks in advance.
You said that you had trouble with updating Joomla via the admin panel, however did you check if the folders were writable? Site -> System Information -> Directory Permissions Always check this page once you have installed Joomla as it is the reason why a lot of people are unable to install updates or normal extensions.
You then mentioned that you had to upload the files manually via the FTP, however this is not requires. All that is required it to upload the update.zip to the foot of your Joomla site and unzip it.
As for a proper answer, May I suggest that you first update to the Latest version of the 1.6 series (1.6.6), then you download a fresh copy of Joomla 1.6.6, unzip the "administrator" folder, zip that folder, upload via the FTP to your Joomla root folder, then extract it. This will override all the default administrator files.
In the end I had this client move their Joomla install off Windows and onto a Linux machine. Things were just getting worse with the install and I threw in the towel. Thanks to Lodder for trying to help.
This can happen if you are using the JSecure plugin. It requires a token in the URL to enter the admin panel, for example:
http://www.yoursite.com/administrator?token

I was able to fix this by removing the value that I had in the $live_site variable in the configuration.php file. I am also running this on a Windows server.
I need to create a release / install package. There is a drop down box in VS that lets me create a release version for the project. So I hit the publish button and choose the CD option. Sure enough it publishes the a setup I need. I installed the application everything goes fine though I have no idea where on the target machine where the application ended up??? Trouble is my application has signed XML file that stores the public keys my application uses to enable features depending on what a customer is licensed to do. I would like the key file to be part of the package that is installed so I don't have to send it seperately. I have to send the license file but I was hoping to avoid confusion by only requiring the user to only have copy the license file to the local directory. Which brings up another question were is application installed I did a search and found nothing with my application name???? But thereis an icon onthe star menu and the applicaton seems to run just file
You probably deployed your application as a "ClickOnce" Application. It installs the program to an obfuscated folder in your users folder. On Windows 7 it winds up in something like "c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\somefoldername\somefoldername". If you need more control of the installation, the free InstallSheild LE that comes free with VS2010 is not a bad choice. It will let you add additional files as well.
I don't know how to install Joomla 1.7.3 and it's hard to know from joomla web page. Can anybody tell me how to install joomla 1.7.3 step-by-step.
Thank you
There's an old guide here, although it still mostly applies:
http://help.joomla.org/content/category/15/99/132/
In short: Create a database, Upload the Joomla files, follow the installer. In more detail:
Make sure you meet the system requirements:
http://www.joomla.org/technical-requirements.html
Create a MySQL database (note down the name, username, and password to access it)
Get the Joomla files from here:
http://www.joomla.org/download.html
Upload all the files from that package to your hosting
Browse to your site - the Joomla installer will automatically run. There's a guide for the steps here:
http://docs.joomla.org/Installer
Follow the instructions and fill in the boxes in the Joomla installer.
Once the installation is complete, delete the 'installation' folder (the installer will tell you to do this).
You now have Joomla :)
Have you checked this page? http://docs.joomla.org/Installation
It provides a step by step installation guide, I think it's quite easy to install Joomla. Generally talking, all you have to do is:
Download the latest Joomla version ( I guess you already did this )
Unzip the downloaded file, then copy it into your webroot ( if you have multiple sites, you should create a folder within your webroot dir and copy the files there )
Access via your browser your web dir, and installation process will start.
It's important that you check that your Apache user is able to read and write your Joomla files. If you're using virtual hosts, you should also create and configure the new virtual host.
I’m trying to create a set-up project for a windows service. I’ve followed this tutorial and many others like it but, after installing my service, I still can’t see the service. I’ve added the primary output of the service to the application directory and created a custom action to include this output on Install, Commit, Rollback and Uninstall.
It claims that it installs correctly.
Should this work? Is there anything else that I can try to get this to install?
Did you create an installer for your service? It is separate from a Setup Project.
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.serviceinstaller.aspx
You can create an Installer by right-clicking on your service's Design window and selecting Add Installer.
In my case, adding the installer was a first step as described by dhirschl's answer. I then needed to add custom actions to the setup project.
Right click the setup project/view/custom actions
then add the primary output to every folder there.
