The feature list, states:
"It has an easy-to-use single-file installer that creates a working installation with just a few clicks, and can update that installation when new packages become available."
Great, but how to do the update? If I run the installer and "manage" my installation, nothing is updated at all.
Ok, the problem was that I used the "[current installation]" option thinking, that this will update, well... my current installation. Which is wrong. It doesn't do anything.
So, you need to select on of the other options and it will download what you have selected.

Is there a way to enable autoupdating in RubyMine? According to this page, you can
Use this page [i.e. "File | Settings | Appearance and Behavior | System Settings | Updates"] to:
Enable automatic update of RubyMine and specify to which kind of release you want it updated.
However, when I actually look at that menu, all I see is this:
Further searching yields no results. Since the page is labelled as "RubyMine 7.1.0 Help", I'd assume that it's up-to-date for 7.1.2, so how can I enable autoupdates? Did they simply forget to update this little chunk of the help documentation?
All of my Google searches turned up absolutely nothing - all the results are about autocompletion or updates in general (i.e. the page I linked at the top) or updating manually or something entirely unrelated in a different IDE or... this question. Huh. Hi, Google!
Note: Yes, it is possible to manually update it from this menu, by clicking Check Now. I'm explicitly not looking for that. I want RubyMine to search for updates and install them on its own, preferably when it starts.
TL;DR version: RubyMine can and will check for updates very regularly, if you select the type of update you'd like.
As far as I know, it will not install it, without asking, but it will automatically check for an update upon starting the app.
Longer version:
First of all 7.1.2 is the most current version of RubyMine, so I wouldn't expect RubyMine to update.
As far as I understand the RubyMine versioning "New Major Releases" means a change in the first number of a version. With that setting you'd get an update information for version 8. If you prefer to get updates more frequently, try one of the other option the Update-Settings provide (see screenshot)
On my machine 7.1.2 installed upon starting RubyMine (but after asking whether I wanted the update to happen). So, it didn't autoinstall without asking for permission.
Currently, Rubymine is in version 2016.1.1b and full transparent auto-update isn't still implemented as far I could see in my Linux (Ubuntu-based distro).
Here, the auto-update is more a auto-detect updates feature, who will ask me to accept the update and let it installs and restart automatically.
Which isn't currently a straightforward method also, because I installed it on /opt and to have right permission to update and it notifies me, I have to call manually rubymine.sh as root and then accept the update - sudo mine won't work.
I'm trying to just build webkit on windows. As usual I started with webkit site and trying to get developer tools setup. I'm struck basically at the cygwin Installation itself.
The cygwin-downloader gets all the packages and runs the setup normally.
As per the installation instructions, I selected the Install from Local Directory Option (cygwin install and source package directories are different).
There was some initial turbulance in finding the packages, somehow i could let it find the packages. The screen looks like this now.
I selected the packages (all) and then proceeded with next. It just ran very fast and exited saying nothing needs to be installed. It looked like this.
After I ran the cygwin shorcut from the desktop its shouting something is missing.
I don't understand what am I missing here. Also at some link it says we need a port to build webkit. If thats the case, how does anyone port webkit to their applications without building the webkit alone?
I know this is not a programming question. but this will help most of the people who are taking baby steps in understanding and build WebKit. Thanks!
According to this, it's seems a cygwin-downloader's bug.
However, there is a workaround...
Just copy {cygwin-downloader}\setup.ini file to a {cygwin-downloader}\x86\ directory. Then reopen setup.exe. It will show you a package list without turbulence. You don't need to click all from the package list. Just click Next.
I have a program which has several versions. In the last version I have a problem: when I'm trying to update previous version to new one, the installer of new version removes files from previous version, but don't installs new files.
Just installing works fine, but updating process has this problem.
What can be the reason of this problem ?
Upade: I'll try to describe more detail
I have VS project where I have a project of program and an installer of this project. Till present all were working fine, but after my last big update ,the installer start work incorrectly.
And another question:
How I can debug installation process ?
I dont know which program you have. Generally programs have problems because of multible versions, because programmers arrange this. For example ;
Lets consider Microsoft Framework. If you have 4.5 you cannot install 4.0, so that with similar idea you cannot update it.
Try to delete other versions and update them and install others. Or you can also stop services which you dont want to update.Then other one will be updated without any problem.
When I tried to debug a small piece of code using AVR studio 4 I got this error:
Build failed... No build tools defined.
Could someone give me some advices?
In AVRStudio 4.19, Atmel made some serious changes from previous versions. Specially while using the toolchains. After you install WinAVR (the latest version, 2010...), open a new project in Avrstudio and from now on, everytime you make a new project you have to do this steps:
Go to "Project" tab
Go to "Configurations Options"
Then all the way down to "Custom Options".
Once you there, you'll see a checkbox called "Use AVR ToolChain", UNCHECK that option.(For some reason AVRStudio 4.19 does not link automatically the toolchain from WINAVR, so you have to do it manually).
After this, it enables the two options below.
For avr-gcc, you browse to the next direction: C:\ProgramFiles\WINAVR20100110\bin\avr-gcc.exe
For make, you browse to the next direction: C:\ProgramFiles\WINAVR20100110\utils\bin\make.exe
This directions depends on where did you installed WINAVR. I remember that the default location is "C:\" but when I installed WINAVR, I changed it to "ProgramFiles"
Click "OK".
After doing this steps, you should be able to compile and run your code.
Cheers, and hope it helped!
PD: I had that same problem, months ago. Check out, www.avrfreaks.net, very good webpage for newbies and pros at programming AVRs.
You need to install WinAVR or Atmel's "AVR Toolchain." If you already have one of these and still get this message, you may need to tweak the System Variables.
Connect the programmer first and then run avr studio.
I have that error when I try to open a project made in another version of AVR Studio (or upgraded to another version by someone else).
I am releasing a new version of my product (minor upgrade), which I'm planning to package as a patch. This is a Basic MSI project in InstallShield 2009.
The installer creates some shortcuts on the desktop and in the All Program menu, this shortcuts make a reference to the version number, e. gr. "My Product 7.3", "My Product 7.3.2".
The change in the name of the shortcut is causing that after the upgrade is finished, the system ends up with duplicated shortcuts, one for version 7.3 and a second for version 7.3.2.
I made some research on this and started using the RemoveFile table, this worked fine when I created my patch 7.3.1, but now in patch 7.3.2 it isn't working in some cases. Let me clarify this.
This scenario DOES work:
I install my product version 7.3 (full installer)
Run patch 7.3.1 (windows installer patch). Shortcut for 7.3 is deleted fine.
Run patch 7.3.2 (windows installer patch). Shortcut for 7.3.1 is deleted fine.
This scenario does NOT work:
I install my product version 7.3
(full installer)
Run patch 7.3.2
(windows installer patch). Shortcut
for 7.3 is NOT deleted.
Note: I have tested my 7.3.2 version by running the full installer instead of the patch, and it works fine. It performs the minor upgrade and removes the old shortcut.
In my 7.3.2 patch I've added both 7.3 and 7.3.1 as previous setups.
A verbose log doesn't seem to provide much information (or probably I'm not doing the right search).
The component associated to the records in the RemoveFile table is updated correctly which I can verify in the log:
MSI (s) (58:EC) [15:51:44:846]: Component: ProgramFiles; Installed: Local; Request: Local; Action: Local
I will appreciate any help that you may provide.
Thanks.
Juan Carlos
Check the patch installation works, if only 7.3 is inclided in previous setups.
Seems like the problem in this case was related to the fact that when I accidentally changed the source files when creating the patch. So the file table didn't match with the files that I was really shipping. This created some sort of conflict with the upgrade. I've repeated the scenario using always the correct files and it worked fine.
