Run the Installjammer setup from a script - installation

I have got stuck with my InstallJammer setup creation. Let me explain what I need.
I have created a template project setup using InstallJammer. I wish to use the same template for all the Projects my team creates. What actually I need is to run the Installjammer setup from a script where I can give the Application name.exe, common path to all the related files including help, readme, licence, jar(exe) and icon. via virtual text or some how to the script. How can I do this?
From where should I start?I already referenced the InstallJammer User guide, but still got no idea of such a matter. Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance to Stack Overflow team.

How to run MSBuild file after TFS done building successfully?

So, i recently set up an TFS build server, server could build and test, not problems there, however i found out that MsBuild cant publish to ftp directly. so i search on the internet, of what exactly i can do to solve my problem.
I found ms build tasks extension which have possibility to publish files to ftp. The problem i am facing right now is that i cant really figure out how to use it. I am using default build process template, with few changes. I dont understand if i have to change that template, or i have to write a brand new template? Or do i have to change in VS project file? or how do i get started? I never worked with MSBuild before. So the question is, how do i get started?
There are plenty information on the internet, but i couldnt find a plain dummy explanation of how to integrate this library and make it work together with TFS.
You would be better to love your ftp your to PowerShell.
If you use the TfvcTemplate.12.xaml you should see a post test script location. Here you can specify a PowerShell to fun after your build has finished and tests have passed. This would be much easeyer to support long term.

Customize Oracle Access Manager

I would like to know how to change Oracle Access Manager's Login page.
I don't want to build a new custom page but only change a few UI components to the default Oracle page (like images and CSS).
The "login page" I'm talking about is: console/login/LoginForm.jsp, but I cannot find it on my server, does any one know where I can find this LoginForm.jsp??
I'm actually looking for the login/LoginForm.jsp in this Oracle documentation.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
**Please note that I cannot install any additional programs on that server
You don't need to install any additional software on the server, you just need to be able to copy a WAR file to the console extension directory.
You can build the WAR anywhere, that doesn't have to be done on the server. Expand the look and feel template, which will give you the login/login.jsp file you were looking for, make your changes, build the archive and deploy to your server.
Good luck!

Multiple Instances of ClickOnce app

Some background to my problem...
We are currently using ClickOnce to deploy part of our solution which was working a treat until we encountered a scenario where we are now required to have multiple instances of our application installed on the same PC. We are able to achieve this internally and have this working perfectly as we know what instances we have so our build process will update AssemblyName to include the instance name before publishing the installer, this means we are able to have multiple instances on our PCs internally (ie, test, live and demo etc).
Our external deployment process is slightly different, we take one of the ClickOnce installers created in our build (along with all our other components that make up our application) and as the ClickOnce installer is deployed on a server we update the app.config along with the manifest files and resign so they now have client specific details. If a client chooses to have multiple instances of our product installed the ClickOnce will now fail when a second instance is installed on a desktop PC as all instances share the same assemble name.
So finally to the question, does anyone know of a way to update the manifest etc after the clickonce package has been created to allow multiple instances to be installed? We could go down the route of building many clickOnce installers but I dont think this will really work for us, is there perhaps an alternative to ClickOnce which provides a similar upgrade experience for non-admin users?
Hopefully someone will be able to share their experiences and help me resolve this.
Thanks in advance
Doug
I don't know of another technology that allows such a simple auto update process. So sticking with ClickOnce... I think this link might be useful. It explains what you need to do to have the same app installed twice. Essentially changing the assembly name and product name should do it.
Hope that helps.

Scripting Trac installation on Windows

I'm currently working on some R&D for improving the process and practice that we approach development.
As a first iteration something I'd like to do is develop an easy way to set up a project e.g. Run an ant script that will, when provided with a project name etc,
Copy a template in svn
Create a database (if needed)
Automatically update the connection strings in config/properties files
Create an instance of trac
Email the user with all this information
I'm fine with the first 4 but I'm struggling to get a good process together for setting up Trac.
I've done it manually before but found it incredibily difficult.
Does anyone know of such a set up script or have any tips on doing this?
Cheers,
Rob
Have you looked at bitnami?
See the Trac bitnami bundle for example

VB6 P&D Installations, "The destination file is in use..."

I am maintaining an application written in VB6 and we currently use package and deployment wizard to create installations for our project. When most users try to install this software they get the error message:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbajet32.dll
The destination file in in-use. Please ensure that all other applications are closed.
Can anyone tell me if there is a specific way that I can avoid this happening by changing something in the installation files/setup or writing some kind of script? I have no experience writing packaging/deployment scripts which is part of why we use P&D wizard.
Your installer is probably trying to replace a dll (vbsjet32.dll) that is being used by another app.
Maybe they are using Access (or another app) while trying to install and it's already using the dll.
You may be able to get around it by making sure users have closed all open programs before installing, or you may have to write custom code to handle it.
