How to install the Red Hat Container Development Kit when behind a corporate webproxy? - jboss-developer-studio

When attempting to set up the Red Hat Container Development Kit on Windows behind a corporate web proxy the installer seems to fail to recognise the proxy settings that are configured.
Installer file: devsuite-1.3.0-GA-installer.exe
At the point where you enter your developer.redhat.com credentials it fails with the message "Cannot access developers.redhat.com, please check your internet connection.".
This despite the correct settings in Internet Options and system environment variables for HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY.
The installer page mentioned appears to be a embedded browser window. I suspect that the underlying platform (node, electron?) is not using the proxy settings that have been configured.
I have not found any log files that are related to this.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Many thanks.
[Edit 5 Jun 2017]
Just tried to install the latest, 1.4.0-GA-2017-05-19-231, version of the Development Suite but suffered the same issue. Also it doesn't look like there is a 'manual install' alternative available on the web site. Unfortunately the 'Non-Online' (Offline?) version of the installer still requires you to log in to developer.redhat.com which I'd think rather loses the point of being offline.

Unable to install chrome extension on Windows; Also unable to install "Chrome for business and education"

Actually my requirement is an enterprise installation of Chrome Extension automatically over 1000s of Windows machines.
I tried to install manually in my machine. I have setup the update_url in registry but I am not finding it in Chrome://extensions. For which I found around Stackoverflow that the local installation of extensions is prohibited, rather the package has to come through Web Store.
Well, so I am tried to follow, Installation of Extensions automatically, in Chrome Development Guide
# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iu6I0MhyrvyS5h5re5ai8RSVO2sYx2gWI4Zk4Tp6fgc/edit#heading=h.op2l1nosq8x7
Which suggested to use Chrome for Business and directed me to the link
# https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/chrome-browser/
But the bundle is not installing. It is throwing error as attached
Chrome Bundle installation error
Please help me
- Install Chrome bundle
- or Install extension automatically (other than through Web Store)
I do not believe that an enterprise install is a requirement.
However, AFAIK you can't set policies in the local registry - those will be ignored. Don't quote me on that though..
Computer must be joined to a Windows domain.
Configuration needs to come from domain policies as described in ExtensionInstallForcelist.
You can check whether this policy is loaded from chrome://policy
Note that you haven't provided a snippet of your registry with the setting.
I'm afraid that errors with the installer (especially so generic-sounding) are off-topic here; you can try other StackExchange sites:
Super User (for installation errors)
Server Fault (for deployment questions)

DataStage 11.3 Assembly Editor flash popup

Our organisation is in the process of upgrading from DataStage 9.1 to 11.3.
Problem: The DataStage 11.3 Assembly Editor fails to display, and falls over with an error.
Backend OS:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)
Linux 2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 12 16:05:43 EST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Client OS:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (ok, it’s bootcamp Windows running on a Mac). Flash player 16 ActiveX (latest version).
We raised a ticket with IBM and they said it was a flash player problem and we should install the debugger version of flash to get a trace file. After completing the trace, we managed to capture the following error:
RSL Error 1 of 3 (can also be 2 or 3 of 3, in no particular order)
Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: https:/// /ibm/iis/ds/xmlpack3/XMLPackLibrary.swf
Note: There are three swf (flash player) files in that server location. The RSL error #2032 error could occur on any one of the following:
ISD_UI_Theme.swf
XMLPackController.swf
XMLPackLibrary.swf
One important factor in this upgrade is that we have installed the backend of DataStage in the Amazon AWS cloud, and have installed the client tools on our local network. So this should not be factor, given that the client tools access the back via HTTP or HTTPS. Our DevOps guys have said that the domain that is giving us problems is probably our local windows domain (and the security within it). We don’t believe that having the backend on an AWS host is the cause of the problem. We have tried to eliminate the AWS cloud (and our local Group Policies) out of the equation, by creating a Windows 2008 server in the AWS cloud on a Bastion Host, with local administrator access. We had a lot of problems with Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. We had to force it to turn off by hacking the registry. Once we could get past the IE problems, we managed to replicate the exact 2032 error on the 2008 server as my Windows 7 machine on the LAN.
The only way we can get the Assembly Editor to work is to log in as the local Administrator user on the 2008 server. No other user works, even if they have full Administrator rights and nothing else. We’ve tried everything on this and relaxed all security measures that we can think of. Something appears to be blocking the flash player plugin that is launched from DataStage via a custom Internet Explorer session.
One test that IBM recommended is to access the swf files directly in the browser by substituting the URL :
https:///ibm/iis/ds/xmlpack3/index.html
https:///ibm/iis/ds/XMLPackController.swf
This test works OK, which means that Flash Player is installed and functioning. What is interesting is that the URL prompts for a username and password. That leads me to think that the problem exists in the handshake of credentials between the flash player and the backend and/or what directories the flash player can write to.
Has anybody found a resolution to this problem? Currently our upgrade to 11.3 is at a standstill until we get an answer.
We found a solution to our own problem. There is a setting in Internet Explorer that if turned on, can block the download of the SWF files to the local machine. This can be found in the Security section of the Advanced tab in the Internet options:
Do not save encrypted pages to disk
This setting must be turned off. We had turned it on because it was recommended by SalesForce. If turned on, the SWF files will not be saved and therefore will not execute. The result is an RSL #2032 stream error.
This fixed the problem immediately. Now we just need to apply the setting to our Group Policies for the domain.
I hope this helps other DataStage users. This one had us confused for days!

The Windows Process Activation Service failed to generate an application pool config file

I suddenly cannot start IIS anymore on my Windows 2008 R2 server. The depending "Windows Actication Service" does not start.
In the Event Viewer I can see the following message:
"The Windows Process Activation Service failed to generate an application pool config file"
I've checked all IIS config files for typo's, none can be found.
I've tried to remove the IIS role from the server, which results in an error.
I'm totally desperate here. I've looked on Google for several hours, but none of the suggestions I've found helped.
Something has messed up permissions and the user account under which WAS runs does not have permission to create its working files. Probably you installed a service pack or similar.
Rebuild the box and apply all service packs to Windows before you install WAS, and then let it update itself and then install your own stuff.
Rebuilding boxes is no fun and takes far too long. Learn to use virtualisation and undo disks.
If you have another working server, you can import IIS configuration from there via Shared Configuration. I was able to resolve this error by doing so.

Websphere registry and repository (WSRR)

I'm trying to install WSRR on Linux (Ubuntu 11.04), but without success. I think I'm lacking some important information about installation. I've read that it's a prerequisite to have WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and DB2 installed, but when I downloaded WSRR package it has its own version of WAS and during installation it offers me Derby DB. In order to install it I had to change bash for dash (or vice versa). In the end I tried create profile of standalone WSRR in Profile Management Tool but with no success. Did anybody success in installation of standalone WSRR? Please help me, I need it for my thesis.
Thank you.
So finally I managed to install and run WSRR.
First of all you have to have OpenSuse installed.
Log in as root
Reinstall you web browser (I changed mozilla 4 to mozilla 6)
Launch installation ./launchpad.sh
Create profile with Profile Management Tool GUI
Run First steps console => change directory to profile_root/firststeps/wsrr, for example, opt/IBM/WebSphere/ServiceRegistry/profiles/WSRRSrv01/firststeps/wsrr and ./launchpad.sh
Run server
Start the WSRR Web UI (if you have stand-alone server)
Not a final answer... it seems you're installing on an unsupported platform. Never try this with commercial software, you will fail or will need hours and hours to get it up and running.

VS2010 Beta 2: Can't launch local help documentation

In VS2010 Beta 2, from the Help Library Manager, after selecting local help, and downloading the VS Documentation, it won't launch.
Here's what I have installed:
Here's what I'm clicking in the Start Menu:
Here's the result:
Ideas?
Thanks,

I recommend reporting this bug on Microsoft Connect so that the Visual Studio product team can take a look at this.
This seems like a rather specific problem and not a general programming question.
I also had problems with VS 2010 Beta 2 help, or rather with MS Help 3, which is new with 2010 . There is a known issue with the Help Listener Service trying to listen on port 80. MS document a procedure to change this port, and my help was back up after following it. From the the ReadMe_ENG.htm file that is installed with MS Help:
Removal of Help 3.0 will not remove content from user's machine;
they should run HLM to remove content
Product Documentation shortcut will not work after uninstall of Help
3.0
Help Library Manager requires the BITS service to be running if you
want to use the “Check for Updates” or
“Find Content online” features.
Removing content and installing
content locally does not require the
BITS service.
Help Library Manager will hang if you attempt to install offline
content but there is not sufficient
disk space for the BITS service to
download the content
If port 80 is used by another process (not via the http.sys service)
then the Help listener will not be
able to attach and use port 80 and
will fail. The port number can be
changed by adding a string registry
value ListenerPort under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Help3
with the value of the port to use (eg.
81). Due to the http.sys ACL settings
it is necessary to run the following
http.sys configuration command from an
admin elevated command line. On
Vista, Win2k8, and Windows 7 run the
following native command: netsh http
add urlacl url=http://127.0.0.1:/help/ sddl=D:(A;;GX;;;WD)
On Windows Xp, and Win2K3 run the
following command:
httpcfg set urlacl /u
http://127.0.0.1:/help/
/a D:(A;;GX;;;WD)
If the command is not found then it
might be necessary to download the
httpcfg.exe from Microsoft as part of
the Windows XP Service Pack 2 support
Tools
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&familyid=49ae8576-9bb9-4126-9761-ba8011fabf38&displaylang=en).
Now the Microsoft Help Listener will
run on the selected port number.
ADDENDUM:
I also ended up installing MS Help 3 manually, and using the Help->Manage Help Settings menu command. On the VS 2010 installation 'disk', I ran WCU\Help\HelpSetup.exe, after removing help via Add/Remove programs. Note the folder HelpSetup installs to, and then in VS 2010, open the Help Library Manager (Help->Manage Help Settings), then Find Content on Disk, and then supply the location HelpSetup installed to. Help 3 will take it from there.
