Impossible to install the BlackBerry Plugin for Eclipse
So I tried very hard to get this * beep * installed for some time now, but nothing still evokes the problem that I have as far as I know.
I downloaded the plugin from BlackBerry website. It's huge, it's called "BlackBerry_JDE_PluginFull_1.1.2.201004161203 - 16.exe.
I can't find any other file that seems to be the plugin, so I think that's it. BUT when I run it, it pops up a dialog box telling me to choose a different installation path. Of the dialog box is titled InstallAnywhere. In the video configuration it does not show even this step, so I think that is the problem... Although I have no idea how to solve this problem. Just keep him there if I choose anywhere on my computer.
I would really be passed this stage. Can someone help me?
No, really, download again. 'Properties' on my copy says "368 MB (386,073,072)". I know it's painful, but your copy is too small. You have the right link.
You do not even receive the installation. It is not significant to install somewhere else, he told you to extract the installer somewhere else. I don't know how you can run a self-extractor corrupt at all, but I think your symptom said that the extraction fails. Say that it a little weird, I admit...
FWIW, when I start the installation program extracts itself in a directory Local Settings\Temp.

I can not install Skype for desktop PC that cannot run the file skypewebplugin.msi as
I don't see why the Windows Installer Service is not available on your computer. Without this service, you will not be able to install applications using the .msi installer, and this includes updates of Windows.
However, with Skype, you can do this:
Download all the files of the site OneDrive:
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?RESID=DB6E69DD03D093C9%21205
These files are what is required to run the currently latest version of Skype 7.28.0.101.
Open your Skype installation folder.
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Skype\Phone\
Replace all files in this folder with the files downloaded from the site of OneDrive above.

Firefox could not download the search plugin from
I installed Firefox 24.0 recently and I am trying to install open www.youtube.com youtube Search Engine by clicking on Add "YouTube Video Search" in the search bar, but I get the following error message:
Download error
Firefox could not download the search plugin from:
http://www.YouTube.com/OpenSearch?locale=en_GBWhat is a Firefox problem, or a youtube error?
Thank you for your response.
I don't want to install addon for youtube search. I just wanted to know if I can install the search engine for youtube as before.
After a few readings on the internet I found that the search engine is described by a small XML file which is available through a link on the page. All other pages with operation generates the search engines like Wikipedia or IMDb content is XML refers to XML file. But the link to youtube opensearch descriptor points to an opensearch.osdx file.
I don't know if it's the extension, or if he did not support tag inside but Firefox is not prepared to handle it and add youtube to search engines.
I found this page: http://www.tobtu.com/customsearch.php I copied the relevant tags in the fields of seizure and added YouTube video Srearch. Now, it works fine.
But the question remains: is it Firefox that can not handle the descriptor of opensearch sandard of youtube or youtube.com which provides a defective descriptor?

Hello
Make sure that OS X and Safari are up-to-date.
Open system preferences > App Store, then click on: check now
Your profile says your Mac works v10.11.1. The v10.11.5 update is available. This is maybe the reason why you can not install the Safari extensions.

IE 11 with EBS 11i invited to install the J2SE Plugin again and again
Hello
We test EBS 11.10.2 with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 and during the passage to forms, it will prompt you to install the J2SE Plugin, even if it is already installed. If we go ahead and re - install through the command prompt, we get the same prompt the next time. Anyone encountered this? I see in doc 285218.1browsers recommended for Oracle E-Business Suite 11i that there are tasks to apply
(19917350, 18675861, 19879617, 20064202, 19513755). Does anyone know if one of these hotfixes solve the problem?
Thank you.
Yes, you must have all the patches of pre - req. applied and you must ensure that JRE is deployed based on the (Doc ID 290807.1).
Thank you
