Can somebody tell me how to install JDK 1.7 on AIX operating system?
What I would like to do is install it in a user accessible directory (for example --prefix=/home/raj) instead of the standard system location.
Thanks,
Raj
IBM provides it's own JDK's for AIX and system Z

On the Java download page at IBM (you need to register for free to get there) at the bottom you will find some .bin files. These are self-extracting scripts that let you install Java anywhere you like, under any username.
The installp versions can normally only be used by root user.

Completing an attended installation
Install the product from an InstallAnywhere package, in an interactive way.
Before you begin
Check the following conditions before you begin the installation process:
You must have a user ID with root authority.
Procedure
Download the installation package file to a temporary directory.
Change to the temporary directory.
Start the installation process by typing ./package.bin at a shell prompt, where package is the name of the package that you are installing.
Select a language from the list shown in the installer window, then click Next. The list of available languages is based on the locale setting for your system.
Read the license agreement, using the scroll bar to reach the end of the license text. To proceed with the installation you must accept the terms of the license agreement. To accept the terms, select the radio button, then click OK.
Note: You cannot select the radio button to accept the license agreement until you have read to the end of the license text.
You are asked to choose the target directory for the installation. If you do not want to install into the default directory, click Choose to select an alternative directory, by using the browser window. When you have chosen the installation directory, click Next to continue.
You are asked to review the choices that you made. To change your selection, click Previous. If your choices are correct, click Install to proceed with installation.
When the installation process is complete, click Done to finish.

I see that pkgbuild can be used to create installation files for MAC. All the examples that I see have the standard steps as shown below.
I wonder if we can add custom steps to this and execute a script during that step. Say in between "Installation" and "Summary", could I add a step called "Install Plugins" and if the user selects continue, I can run a script to download the plugins. ?
It is possible with Installer Plug-ins, but I highly discourage it: It seems Apple removed all documentation about it from the developer page. Not a good sign for its future. Which makes sense with the focus in recent years of locking down the system, because a Installer Plug-ins has like full system access.
The only details I find these days are in the framework header files, like InstallerPlugins/InstallerPane.h:
If you use Plug-ins, Install will present the user an alert with "This package will run a program to determine if the software can be installed." See here.
I've written a script by name set_my_product_xx_as_default. (where xx is version number)
I want to allow user to install multiple versions of my product, also want script set_my_product_xx_as_default for various versions to be made available from prompt right away for all the users.
If I try to create link to this script(at /Applications/my_product_dir) from /usr/local/bin then it is read-only FS, therefore won't allow with SIP enabled(I suppose). Where should I place the link or links?
I don't have admin rights on my Windows machine and I am trying to install Go whose installer needs admin rights to complete the installation.
Is there any way to install Go on Windows without admin rights?
Can you download the Windows ZIP archive and extract it to somewhere in your User folder?
You would then need to update the GOROOT and PATH environment variables accordingly.
The question is still relevant and the preceding answer is still correct, but the link should be updated to https://go.dev/dl/ to obtain a Windows zip archive and not the msi installer.
It is also worth noting that environment variables may be found and edited by using the search bar to find "Edit the system environment variables" in the control panel.

Is it possible to get the name of the feature being installed at the time of installation ?
If possible then how can we get the name of the feature ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Features aren't installed one after another. For example if 3 features are being installed, each with 10 files then the InstallFiles action will install all 30 files at the same time. Same thing with registry entries. So you can't display a UI that says "Installing Feature1" and then later on "Installing Feature2" because that doesn't happen. All you can know is that some list of features are being installed.
Your comment asks about finding out whether a feature installed successfully or not. This issue never comes up - there are never some features that install and others that fail. An MSI install is a transaction and it either all works or fails and rolls back and deletes changes it made so that the system is restored to its previous state.
It's not clear why the list of features is so important to display. If you use the MSI's internal UI there is a feature selection dialog where the user selects which features are to be installed; if you use the Burn UI the same thing is available, so the user can see what features have been chosen.
Inside the MSI the list of features being installed (after they've been selected) is in the ADDLOCAL property, but that's the internal name. It could be used to display a list of the features that were installed at the end, but again by definition what was chosen is installed otherwise the install would have rolled back entirely. I don't believe I've ever seen an install where the list of MSI features installed is displayed at the end - it's redundant info. It would be useful to know the scenario you have, or what problem you're trying to solve, and if you believe that you need to display a list because some might install and others might fail then there is no point, as I have said.
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.
