I am having strange problem. I used to run appcfg.py to update my app to appengine but now its not working anymore. When I run this command
C:\Program Files <x86>\Google\google_appengine>appcfg.py update E:\path\myApp\
Its not giving me anything, no error no feedback. Its just back to this line
C:\Program Files <x86>\Google\google_appengine>
Any idea about this issue!
P.S. I'm using Python 2.7. My code is updating through google app launcher but I need to run it from cmd prompt as I will be downloading/uploading appengine stuff which launcher doesn't allow me to do!
Thanks
I still had a little trouble with the instructions. Here's the steps I used to create a batch file to use the Google App Engine download_app with Windows 7.
In my example,
I'll use drive, C:
Default python path will be, C:\Python27\python.exe
GAE path (include "), "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py"
App ID {your_app_id} will be just your app-id name
{your_app_version} is the "Version:" number in your GAE app.yaml file
I'll create a folder on my Windows 7 desktop and call it GAE_App
The desktop folder path will be C:\Users\{username}\Desktop\GAE_App
{your email} will be the Gmail account connected to your GAE
Right-click on the desktop and select New->Text Document. Open the newly created text document and add the following line of code modified for your setup to the blank text document,
C:\Python27\python.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\appcfg.py" download_app -A {your_app_id} -V {your_app_version} --email={your email} C:\Users\{username}\Desktop\GAE_App
Save the text document and change the file name to GAE_Download.bat
It's important that the extension now says ".bat" instead of ".txt"
Once finished, click on the batch to execute it. You'll be asked for a password and then the files should download into the GAE_App folder on your desktop. Now, whenever you need to download your files, just click on the batch file.
Not sure why Google didn't simply include this feature with their GAE for Windows software.
I faced the same issue. Here is a simple solution.
Just do this following Steps:
Go to program file where google app engine is installed. Generally It is named as Google.
click on appcfg.py and select open with.. Select "Choose Default Programs".
Select Python from programs and select "Always Use the selected program to open this kind of file" .
Now run the command you should get the results on command line.

Fixed by accessing python lib like that
C:\Python27>python appcfg.py update E:\path\myApp\
Here's a solution that worked for me:
"google_appengine/appcfg.py" update "C:\PATH TO APP
The appcfg.bat that should be used is located **C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\appengine-java-sdk\bin** and not the empty appcfg.bat that for some unknown reason also was here C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK\
Good practice is to add this path to the system variable PATH
This worked for me
Basis
<PATH_TO_PYTHON>python <PATH_TO_APPCFG.PY>appcfg.py -A <PROJECT_INSTANCE_NAME> update app.yaml
Example
X:\Software\Python2.7\python Q:\SOFTWARE\GoogleAppEngineSDK\appcfg.py -A great-1337 update app.yaml

I would need to download files or folders from my google drive, via command line.
Thought to a script, a batch file, windows platform.
Seen that I could use gdrive app but I have some troubles with syntax.
I tried:
gdrive-windows-x64.exe download -r --path "G:\My Drive\myfolder"
but it gets me error as "invalid arguments"
Also I'm interested to a way to zip the content of a folder upon my google drive...again via command line
someone can help me?
thanks a lot

Drive is an option.
Create a new folder and do the Initializing setting up;
Create the sub folder mirroring the remote folder structure;
Cd to the sub folder and run $ drive pull
Click here for more pulling documentation.
You have available a Command-line utility for working with Google Drive in github here:
https://github.com/google/skicka
Examples:
skicka download /folder1 ~/folder2
The contents of your ~/folder2 directory will match the contents of ~/folder1.
For download to local:
skicka download /local ~/remote
gdrive is an option written in GoLang. This does require connecting a Google account. This command downloads a Google Drive directory:
gdrive download --recursive DRIVEID
I have a custom Java app and an IzPack installer. For years, in my izpack build file I had the following:
<run-privileged condition="izpack.windowsinstall.vista|izpack.windowsinstall.7"/>
The problem is that some of the users do not have admin privilege on their PCs, but they still want to be able to install the package. If I remove the above, they can run the installer but then it complains "This directory cannot be written!", when they try to install in the default location, which is C:\OPENDCS.
Yet the same user can create this directory either from a CMD or an Explorer window.
Is there a way to allow the izpack installer to create a directory directly under C:\ without running as an administrator?
Please check the behavior with izpack v5.0.7. The problem you mentioned should be fixed with this issue: https://izpack.atlassian.net/browse/IZPACK-1355
You could package your directory create operations in a create-dirs.bat batch file, which you would mark <executable> and execute stage="postinstall". This way the directory creation will be executed with the given user's permissions, which (according to your post) should work just fine.
EDIT 29/02/2016: You would put this file into a first "dummy" <pack>, mark it <executable> and execute stage="postinstall" as stated above, which would execute it after this first dummy pack was installed. At the installation of the next pack (i.e. your first useful pack) you will already have the folder created.
Note that postinstall will not run the batch file after the installation, but after the <pack>'s installation.
I want to open certain folders and files using run command.
I know that creating a shortcut for the required file or folder and placing it in the System32 folder will do the task. However i don't like to use System32 folder.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a folder under local hard disk and put the shortcuts into that and i would route it some how such that i would be able to open the apps and the files directly by typing the name of the shortcut into the run window.
Setting any Environment Variables would help?
Adding the folder to the PATH variable solved the issue.
As correctly answered by a_horse_with_no_name.
Would like to hear comments from you if its possible to accomplish this with a single mouse click on a bat/exe file -> if its possible to accomplish the following two steps into one:
1: Install xampplite
2: Paste a web application into the htdocs folder. The web application has a file install.php. The install.php file will install the database and prepare the web application for further use.
Thanx,
Why should that not be possible? But installing xmapp on a computer with the generall installer asks you where you want to have the files.
An other idea could be by using the zip file. AFAIK you can unzip files from cmd (by invoking the zip function) to a destination you set, copy the webapplication to the htdocs folder, starting up apache and call an URL to your installer script.
when i save java file error is you dont have permission to save in this location contact the administrator to obtain permission on window7
Don't store application data in the "Program Files" directory.
It is very bad design and regular users don't have write access to that directory (for a very good reason).
So even if you changed your settings locally to open up the door for viruses your application won't run on other computers.
Besides: storing a Java file in the JDK directory serves no purpose at all.
Btw: your uppercase letters are broken, as well as the dot or the comma...
That's normal - jdk/bin is the installation directory of the JDK, regular users cannot (and should not) write files there. You'll have the same problem on Linux/Unix and on Mac OS X, where installation directories are off-limits to regular users.
Write your files to the users home directory (System property "user.home", works across platforms), or let the user choose where you save stuff.
Bin directory do not allow directly to save program in it.
it is so simple, just save your .java file on desktop and then copy paste it in Bin. done ;)
If the file can't save directly to c:\program files\java\jdk1.8.0\bin\
Solution:-
Click start Menu type Notepad command in run run as administrator
Right click the Notepad run as Administrator, then type the program file can save directly to c:\program files\java\jdk1.8.0\bin\
Just try it......
