Launch the program before the installation of the distribution kit

When you create a distribution kit, there is an option to launch an application

After the installation.

I would like to launch an application BEFORE installation.

Is this possible with the installer?

Specifically, I would like to launch a program to save the configuration

files from the previous installation (which may have been modified

by the user) before allowing the installation of the new software to proceed.

Thanks in advance,

O. Marty

Unfortunately there is no mechanism to support this feature. A Variant that I would say is that instead to install your configuration files, you have your application create them if they are not detected. In this way, your installer doesn't have to include them and crushes them. The first time your application is run on a new machine, it detects that files are missing and create them with the default settings. Therefore, it will just read these files in. Your user name can change without fear of losing changes made to an upgrade.

  • How to force the compilation released executable before running the distribution of LabWindows/CVI kit?

    I am new in 2015 of the CVI. I used CVI 7 and when I chose "Create the Kit of Distribution", when I was still in debug mode, Labwindows asked me to build the executable of setting before creating the Distribution Kit. This does not happen to CVI2015, and the Distribution Kit is created with the latest built executable version, although I made a few changes in my code! This is a problem since I work in debug mode and I usually forget to build the executable of liberation before calling the distribution kit, so I need CVI to do it automatically like CVI 7 did. I suppose that there is an option to do this, but I can't find. Can someone tell me please how to resolve this problem and force CVI to build the exe version before building the distribution kit? Thank you.

    Today, I've solved quite simply create a new distribution. The previous like unsing was automatically imported by CVI7 project. By creating a new distribution, now when I change something, CVI ask me if I want to build the release. So I did not understand the problem but I solved it by editing a new distribution kit.

  • How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

    I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

    What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

    I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

    Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

    Thank you all!

    Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

    Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

  • Can not find a way to launch the program (Adobe Photoshop 4, 0LE) on the network.

    Original title: Windows 3.x apps Windows 7 migration

    I have a hard drive of a computer that ran the XP - Pro SP3.  He got the full operating system, as well as my documents, and quite a few requests in this regard, I would like to use.  The drive is now in one of these cases speedboat that allows to make it transportable.   Now, I received a somewhat newer, faster PC running Windows 7 Home, and I mounted the HARD drive and domestic system-7 on my network.    I can open the HARD drive.

    I have a request, old Adobe Photoshop 4, 0LE, that does what I need on the network HARD drive.   I have the original disc and the serial number.   I can't understand how to launch the program on the network.

    I prefer to install the application on the new machine directly from the CD, but I don't get an auto-run switch that allows me to install.   I can read all the files on the disk; and I can find (7) at the command line prompt, but I forgot my ms - dos and can't remember to install or execute commands.  I can't find a switch 'install new software' as I'm used to. just a switch 'uninstall '.  This is not convenient.

    So: can I install my drive to source original CD on my 7 newish machine app?  Or can I run it 7 on my outboard HDD network?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    4 Photoshop is old and is not compatible with recent versions of Windows. Its installer is 16 bit, so may not work on 64-bit Windows.

    If you have Windows 7 Professional or higher you could use XP Mode and install PS4 in that or use http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx.

    You might install VirtualBox and try https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows .

    There's always the GIMP- http://www.gimp.org/, or you could buy Photoshop Elements.

  • How to start the program before windows 7 user logon

    I already know how to start a program when a user logs on to Windows 7. * (Not easy to find, but once you know the trick, it's simple as pie: place a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup). So don't answer that. I already know that.

    But my question is this:

    How can I get the same program to launch * before * the users logon? I want the program start when Windows restarts.

    This program does not require the user's privileges - does not open the files, etc., except access to (of course) its location in C:\Program Files (x 86) / folder.

    (What, you may ask? I would like to launch a program of Wake-on-LAN to send a "magic packet" to a computer on the local subnet to sleep. Asleep computer happens to host some of the shared data).

    If you want to start until the user opens a session, you will have to start as a service.

    This is the boot sequence for the main registry keys, starting immediately after reading bootmgr and ending with the program shortcut entries in the two startup folders.

    1 HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute. This may include instructions to schedule chkdsk runs, but not the user programs.

    2 services start ensuites, followed by the keys of registry RunServicesOnce and RunServices (if present)

    3. the user then connects to the system

    4 HKLM Winlogon, Userinit. This indicates that the program C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, and the entry ends with a comma. Other programs can be started from this key by adding and separated by a comma.

    5 HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell. This must contain an entry, explorer.exe.

    6. program entered into these key 2 registry for all USERS start following:

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and \RunOnce

    7. program entered into these 2 registry for the CURRENT USER key start following:

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and \RunOnce

    8. programs in startup of all records users and current user are started last of all.

    Important as antivirus and firewall programs begin early in the sequence as Services. The icons that appear in the Notification area (at the bottom right of the screen) is just their user interfaces, i.e. options and preferences.

    The additional location of 32-bit applications on a 64-bit computer is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node and HKCU.

    When you get this message - do not respond.
    Instead use explore and find the path where the Setup program has extracted from its files - may be that the file is there too - he would be appointed as vcredist - whatever.exe
    Or just download and install it yourself.

    Archive messages or move them to some other local mailboxes or mailboxes on the server. Don't know what you are trying to do because it appears that you have 2/3 of your hard disk.

    Why do you think archiving emails in 2 places? Where are you trying to save space to?

  • launch the project and vi by program

    Hello

    I need to start a project by a vi program and then load a vi of this project. When I try the vi is not running in the instance of project.

    (see attachment - run 'launch proj n vi.vi' this should launch the "launcher.lvproj" project, and then open "auto open.vi" but if you look in the lower left status bar "auto open.vi" is not in the project of 'Launcher'. restart 'launch proj vi.vi n' project to see the difference)

    I think that you need the project property 'Application '.

    That should do the trick.

    How do you run a stand-alone program after its installation on the CD - RW disc

    Programs are not * install * to a CDRW at least that the CDRW is seen as a disc using the writing software to package such as DirectCD (Roxio) or OnCD (Nero). A disk used with writing software by packages cannot be used on any PC.

    Files are copied to a CD - RW for storage and retrieval. If the program installs, it install in general in C:\Program Files or similar and often drop files into \Windows and other places, too.

    When you install windows 95, which is the executable that launches the installation process, and where it is located?

    The file is setup.exe.  Depending on your version of Windows 95 CD, it could be in the WIN95 folder or in a subfolder of WIN95.

    If you have more Windows 95 questions, great places to get responses are microsoft.public.win95.setup and microsoft.public.win95.general.discussion newsgroups.  It is a Windows XP forum.

  • Error 0XC0000135 then tried to launch the program GhostSurf

    Original title: 0XC0000135

    Error 0xc0000135 tries to access a program that has been downloaded from the internet and installed. This program is my startup. At startup and when I click on the program (GhostSurf of Cnet by Tenibril Inc.) the same error box appears-"the application could not initialize properly (0xc0000135 error)" what I got wrong, on Windows XP

    Hi PCGREENHORN,

    This can also occur if the shortcut for the program file is corrupted. We recommend that you start the program from C:\Program Files and check the result.
    a. Click Start, click computer.
    b. open the drive root that is a drive where Windows is installed.
    c. open the Program Files folder and look for GhostSurf program folder.
    d. open the program folder and launch the program by double-clicking on the boot file.

    Note: If you are able to launch the program, then create a shortcut in the startup file.

    Original title: series of order details

    I put a shortcut to a program on C:\Windows, so I can type his name on Run and launch the program

    But,

    Instead, it prioritizes an incorrect executable of a program that is installed with the same name

    How to change that?

    Where in the registry is the entrance?

    Hello

    You do not enter the name of the shortcut, type the path and the name of the file to run.

    RUN: C:\Location\Programs\text.exe

    If you try to run the test.exe which is at the location named so it will only run another text.exe if
    It is located on the track first in a different location.
