What better tool than Sikuli to use for screen automation on Windows 7 (or preferably multi-platform) [closed]
(2 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
There are alternatives to sikuli to automate windows repetitive operations with image recognition?
Sikuli is great but it seems to not be updated since 2010 and there are no record tools.
I bookmarked your question because I was also interested in this, but I think the lack of answers actually indicates there are no alternatives. Sikuli is a great tool, and it is being updated pretty often. Check out its Launchpad site. The RC3 was released in December 2012 and is only 3 months old.
Also, this is what I've found on their github page:
A new version
=============
is planned for January 2013. More information at: https://github.com/RaiMan/Sikuli12.11 and on Sikuli's Launchpad page:
https://launchpad.net/sikuli
As for record tools, yes it's a pity there aren't any, but with no alternatives it's still a fair deal to get Sikuli for free.

There is a very close question here: actionscript development on mac. Howerver, the answers are two years ago. There are comments under the question asking for updates but got no response. So I am here to ask.
What are some good ways to setup ActionScript development environment on MAC? If Adobe CreativeSuite is installed, that should give you a complete dev environment? If so, why people are still asking about IDE?
I personally prefer Vim + command line tools. I found that Flex SDK http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex-sdk-download.html might be able to serve for this purpose. However, not sure whether it will have some compatibility problem. Any other suggestion?
I'm not a MAC user but I think the accepted answer in the question you link to probably still stands; namely if you want to do serious ActionScript development on a MAC you should be considering either FlashBuilder or FDT.
The answer to your second question will depend on the version of CreativeSuite you have installed. If you have the master collection, which appears to include FlashBuilder 4.6 Premium, you're in luck. Otherwise not as the Flash IDE (ironically) is pretty dreadful for writing ActionScript.

I am trying to use Advanced Installer as an application installer and auto-updater. Most of the resources is available on Advanced Installer website only.
Have any one used it before? I would like to hear more about bugs / stability issues if there are, especially auto-update feature
Regarding the bug/stability issues, you can see from the release history the frequency on auto-updater bug fixes (six this year - four in v9.2 and one each in v9.1.1, v9.0.1 and v9.0).
What I've noticed is that occurring issues are promptly solved.
I posted earlier the following:
I have used the free version of Advanced Installer, including its auto-update feature, and I have not experienced any problems with it.
Please note that I was talking about the ability of Advanced Installer MSI scripts to automatically remove older files when upgrading to a newer version of a program. I was not talking about the ability of the application to check for an update automatically. That's probably not in the free feature-set.
I have used advanced Installer It is really good.I would recommend to use it if you are developing a msi setup file for web applications.It is even integrated
with several other tools used for developing such as wix,inno setuo etc
I have not used Advanced Installer, however, just wanted to refer InstallJammer which is a multiplatform installer http://www.installjammer.com/, which I have been using to create application installer and easy to use and configure.
I am using the Advanced Installer daily for my work . I can say that their manuals are not helpful enough, especially for people who do not have any experience with those tools
. However if you pay for support , they can help you almost immediately .
For sure there are some limits about this tools especially if you want your build to be MSI the UI will not respond as well as the exe - but i know they are trying to fix this issue .
If you learn how to use it FOR sure you are going to like it.
The nice part about advanced installer is that they collect analytics (you have to pay for this feature ) and they can show you how many downloads per day , or how many users chose option 1 rather than option 2.
Or you can send those statistics to your webserver and with POST can manipulate however you want - which is free!

I would like to have a windows API reference document available offline. MSDN is fine, but I also need this kind of information when I don't have access to internet.
pdf, chm, help (for emacs) would be fine.
Surely I am not the first person to want that, but I can't find anything. Could someone please point to a place to find that?
I saw the reference was maybe available in the SDK, but installing it takes ~200 MB, and I only want the documentation.
Just the Win32 API, but it's a thing of beauty: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32-help-chm/files/
Edit: Dead link replaced with alternate download.
Although it is now 17 years old, the Win32.hlp file from Microsoft is
still a useful reference for those, like me, still programming using
the "flat" Windows API. It still covers 99% of what I need and is much
more convenient and faster to use than the current MSDN and Windows
SDK documentation because it is much smaller. It is a file that is
possible to add to the help menu of your IDE or favorite editor and
call up instantly, even offline.
Visual Studio 2012/2013/2015 Help Downloader
Tool for downloading the Visual Studio 2012/2013/2015 help packages for offline use
Official VS2012Documentation.iso & VS2013Documentation.iso
Official MSDN Library for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 ISO
Here's a blog post explaining how you could install it. You can also only take a subset of it. You can also download the library it from here.
In Visual Studio, "Help > Manage Help Settings" you can download the contents to disk. Then you can press F1 to view them.
This feature is even available in Visual Studio Express. You can start the help server manually at %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Help Viewer\v1.0
Installing the Windows SDK and the .NET 4 help contents took ~700MB for me. There's probably no way around it.
(Windows SDKs used to contain the documentation but it seems like they've stripped it out in v7.1)
You can even do a search offline in the Help, though from my experience the relevant rate is worse than Google.
Edit: The "Microsoft Help System" is also available in the SDK so you don't need to install Visual Studio to use it
Package This! is a good tool to download and compile MSDN docs as CHM.

how can i make my product as a trial version for 30 days ?
Dear all,
Recently I have developed a software for windows and I want to make a trial version out of it for advertisement. The trial version I have in mind should be runnable only for 30 days for example. I myself have an idea about saving the time of the system in a file or in the registry of windows, but changing the time of the system can also make my program confused.
What do you suggest ?
Thanks in advance
using registry or any other recource on client system can make your software easy to crack
Instead of that you may write a licence server and your application can check the licence over that server for each run..

I have a legacy web site in ColdFusion MX 2004. I'm re-writing it in .Net, so I don't want to pay $600+ for an upgrade to the latest version of ColdFusion, nor do I want to go through the (very large) site fixing version incompatibilities.
I often have to track down and fix bugs in the site.
A source-level debugger that would let me step through the code line-by-line and examine variables would be a HUGE time-saver.
Does anyone have experience using any of the third-party ColdFusion source-level debuggers?
There's no such thing as ColdFusion MX 2004, neither in name nor release year (CFMX 6.1 was released in 2003, and CFMX 7 was released in 2005).
FusionDebug supports all versions of CFMX from 6.1 onwards.
You may want to investigate BlueDragon.NET, which allows you to run CFML code on the .NET platform, and may make the transition easier for you.
The developer versions of ColdFusion are free so you can install the latest version, install debugging tools into eclipse and run debugging for free.
The other option, if you prefer to debug on your target version of CF, is FusionDebug which supports CF 6.1 and up.
There are certain debuggers listed here on Charlie Arehart's site.
http://www.carehart.org/cf411/#debug
This CF411 site has a whole lot of great info on various subjects.
You don't seem to have marked this question as answered. The answers are offered by others, but to be clear:
If you're running a version of CF prior to CF 8, then you can get line debugging using the available commercial third-party tool, FusionDebug (www.fusiondebug.com).
If you're running CF 8, it includes line debugging, for free.
Both approaches leverage the Eclipse IDE's built-in debugging capability, hooking it up to CF.
For more on each, I've written several articles:
The ColdFusion 8 Debugger Explained: Interactive Step Debugging for CF 8
Using the CF8 Debugger
FusionDebug Explained: Interactive Step Debugging for CFML
FusionDebug Tips and Tricks
Hope those help.
BlueDragon.Net is interesting, but I installed it and found out that it does not do source-level debugging.
