Please can someone explain why the windows Installer keeps appearing when nothing is installed? Any way to stop this?

Why the Windows Installer keep popping up, either on a web page or an e-mail to the office when nothing is installed.  No way to stop that... ?

The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.

  • Can someone explain why all my Spry assets on a website online have suddenly stopped working?

    Can someone explain why all my Spry assets on a website online have stopped responding? I checked that Spry CSS and JS files are in place. Then checked the files on Dreamweavers mode live view and they do not work here either. It was fine a few weeks ago that it's almost as if the web browsers stopped tearing Spry, for example, the links for the collapsible panels are not yet recognized as links.

    I use 'old' on Dreamweaver CS4 spry assets (if that makes a difference). Active Spry tabbed panels are removable panels.

    Thanks for your help.

    Manufacturers should come after the library. In other words, you have moved libraries below links

    
    

    Move high to the bottom of your page and everything is fine.

    This brings me to ask why you do not use SpryCollapsiblePanelGroup as in Spry/SpryCollapsiblePanelGroup.html to the adobe/Spry master · GitHub

    Of course, if you want to be really up-to-date, try the version of jQuery http://jqueryui.com/accordion/

    Take a look at the graphics class, it offers all the methods that you can use it.

    for a very simple approach, use graphics.drawText ("your text", 0, y)

    This will cause 'your text' in all the lines of the field.

  • Can you explain why the "analytical" Word is used in Sql

    I found to define the "analytic function" phrase is such: "a piece of syntax that is originating excessive."
    I don't understand why's called it "Analytics". In English 'analytical' comes from the word "to analyse" which means the examination of something. So it looks like "analytic function" should review/analyze something? but all the functions examaine/analyze something. If I group by article in my request, then all aggregate functions will conduct the review of the data, then why I call them better too 'analytic (al). Can you explain why the "analytical" Word is used in Sql world?

    Aggregate functions will bring together data that is to sum or count etc once it is grouped together. It is not just review, but grouping.
    Analytical functions review / analyze the other rows of data, without having to group them in the result that they can summarize a set of values of a particular group (partition) of the data, or they can simply retrieve values of other lines (for example lead, lag, the first_value, last_value etc. functions.) They are able to look through the data without any aggregation of it. So why they are analytical.

  • Can someone explain why a 72 dpi, which went to print looked great?

    Not sure if I should post this in Photoshop or InDesign forum.

    I'm working on bringing a book in InDesign that will be printed at one of these free publishing houses. I did a lot in the past. Then my friend I do a lot of work with a book on his own that has a photo to grayscale to a bomber B-24 on the lid. The image was of 72 dpi and the dimensions of the image were 52,389 "X 35,722". In InDesign, the image has been resized to about 7 inches wide. The book is back and the cover photo was beautiful. What is confusing to me, this is why the cover photo looked not all pixelated because he was of 72 dpi. Is it something about the picture that he was so great that it is a dimension, and then it has been scaled down? Can someone explain this somehow?

    Just a note: auto publication companies I beleave not print their books on an offset press. I think they use high range laser printers. But I could be wrong.

    Thank you

    How the effective resolution has become something of the order of 538.56 ppi (52.389/7 x 72). What the actual resolution of the image scale changes in proportion reverses with the scale factor. It's exactly the same thing as changing the width of the 7-inch image in Photoshop without resampling. No pixels change, you change just the size you choose to print.

    I bought an IPHONE 4 yesterday.  For more than 7 hours, I tried everything to download ITUNES 9.2.  I get the same error.  I spoke with apple as Microsoft.  I didn't PAY to get assistance from Microsoft yet and I hope I don't have to.

  • Why the Windows Installer is called launch of CHM

    Hi all

    I use RoboHelp 10 to create CHM files. The results so far look great, with one exception.  When we launch our CHM file, on some machines, it causes a pop-up Windows Installer.  He is looking for our Revit.MSI file.  The problem is illustrated in this video: http://screencast.com/t/JaajIML0gkBS

    I can solve the problem in two ways:

    1. who rejected dialogue works, so it is not preventing the CHM to work, that's all just annoying.

    2. I can also plug my USB key that contains this MSI, but it is only a temporary solution.  Which means in fact it does not try to install anything, he just wants to know that the MSI exists.

    This problem occurs on some machines, but not all.  Our former CHM files, created with another tool, do not have this problem, so I guess that's unique to RoboHelp or something in my project. I spent a bunch of time on the forums and just empty.  Our programming staff is also perplexed.

    I tried this solution but it did not help: http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2012/10/resolving-chm-file-error-in-robohelp.html

    I did an update of RoboHelp to see also if this could solve the question and I saw the log files when the CHM is created and do not see anything that seemed to call the other program.

    I hope that it is a matter of upgrading certain aspects of Robohelp to prevent this.  Any tips?

    Thanks much for the advice on troubleshooting.

    Kind regards

    Glynnis

    Hello again

    Well, it gets sorta summary here in recent years. Why? Due to the advent of 64-bit operating systems.

    See, if you just double-click on a CHM file and you are on a system 64-bit, you are probably using the 64-bit version of the HTML Help Viewer. But if you click on the button view immediately after the compilation, RoboHelp likely launch the 32-bit version of the HTML Help Viewer. (Two applications different and two different experiences possible)

    The only thing I can understand that RoboHelp * COULD * be influence here is * IF *, your CHM is using the glossary tab or browse sequences. If so, a file named HHActiveX.dll is used. This file is specific RoboHelp for this role. Other than that, it's just a CHM.

    See you soon... Rick
