Question about action customized Windows install

Hello

We must decide whether to use the DLL and the VBScript in the custom action.  I know to run a custom action, the user requires administrator on the local computer.  Just amazing DLL and VBScript require different privileges to run.  A reference link would be appreciated.

Thank you much in advance.

  • Question about activation of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hi all

    I've recently updated the OS on my computer laptop from Home Premium (Windows 7) supplied with the computer (I have activated the product) to ultimate (Windows 7) using an upgrade key.  Now when I turn on my computer it says 3 days until automatic activation or activate now.  I clicked activate now, but I apparently don't have the right key.  I tried the upgrade button, but I was told that it cannot be used to activate the operating system.  I also tried my original laptop computer product key but I was told that it will not now work with my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.  I don't know what I can do.  What will happen in 3 days?  Can someone tell me if I have anything to worry about and what I can do to solve?  Thanks in advance!

    Strange, strange.

    First of all, where did you get your Windows 7 Ultimate license?

    Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade came with a product key?

    What type of upgrade, you did do, was an Express upgrade or did you do a custom clean install?

    This is probably why you are experiencing the problem.

  • Questions about Failver customer and rapid failover

    have some questions about customer and quick Faiolver of Oracle Database HA failover. Before asking these questions, I want to explain my environment. Here are the details.



    -We have two physical locations called "ABC" and "PQR".
    -ABC is the main site.
    -PQR is the backup site.
    -In ABC, we have the database to Oracle RAC (11.2.0.2) with two nodes.
    -In the PQR, we have only one stand-alone server (11.2.0.2) database with ASM. This isn't a RAC.
    -Data Guard has been configured between ABC and PQR and it works as expected.
    -Please note that we have a license for Active Data Guard.
    -We have products of Oracle Identity Management to ABC and PQR and they will use the RAC database as a primary database that is in the CBA.
    -We have not yet set up a Data Guard Broker.

    We want to achieve under objectives:


    Objective 1:
    -------

    Whenever primary CARS down completely, standby database becomes a primary database AUTOMATICALLY and it should allow the read/write operation.
    I guess it's called 'Fast Failover'. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

    Issues related to the:

    -To do this, I need to set up Data Guard Broker so that this standy database becomes primary when CARS go down completely with a power outage, planned or not.
    -Let's say that CARS falls does completely, how long take Data Guard Broker do standby db as primary.
    -What the client application / which is already connected to the CARS.
    -Let's DB standby became as primary and after some time if RAC comes back, keep data automatically becomes the primary role of RAC?


    Objective 2:
    --------

    As I explained above, all products Oracle IDM and applications to speak to the RAC database, what do know only on the RAC database, which is the main. They are not aware of the pending database.

    -Whenever a client session is underway with the primary database of CARS if CARS completely falls down, we would like to wait until the client session should get transferred datbase standby without losing session information. However before that happens, standby database should become primary because the client session can perform write operations.

    -Whenever a client attempts to connect to the primary CARS and assumes that the cab is completely down, we would like to expect from any client connections should are transferred pending database.
    However before that happens, standby database should become primary because the client session can perform write operations.

    According to my knowledge, above scenarios are called "client failver." Please let me know if I'm wrong.



    Issues related to the:
    ----------

    1. Please throw some light to reach above features.
    2. According to my understanding, before customer failover happens, fast failover expected has already occurred and ensure should get the switch for the main role. I guess that all this happens thanks to timeout settings. What are those.


    Could you please help?

    Thank you

    I didn't say that clients cannot reconnect automatically when primary fails: I meant that client sessions can generally reconnect and also keep any session state.

    Yes, they can reconnect but only to keep the session state for a SELECT statement. It is also possible with Data Guard, not only in the CARS I wrote: here's a demo with 10 g
    http://uhesse.WordPress.com/2009/08/19/connect-time-failover-transparent-application-failover-for-Data-Guard/.
    What is not possible is to maintain a session state: (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) pending transactions must be cancelled.

    These are forums for Vista, and you have Windows 8.

    I'm moving your question on the Forums of Windows 8.

    XP, Vista and Windows 7, Windows Defender is an Anti-Spyware application and Norton disables that Norton has its own Anti-spware application and advocate the 2 would cause problems if they ran together.

    BUT in Windows 8, Windows Defender is an anti-virus program and you should not install Norton as well.

    Only have AN anti-virus program installed.

  • Questions about upgrading to Windows 8/8.1 of Windows 7

    Original title: if I'm updated to Win7 x 64 x 64 Win8 and possibly Win8.1 Pro - install Question (and a few others) - I forgot

    It's been so long that I've updated that I can't remember (and feel stupid because it)-is it possible to update the OS without losing everything and having to reinstall absolutely everything (programs, drivers, etc.) and re-apply your settings (folder ranges, etc.)?

    I also have Office 2013 Home and Business that I still have to install.

    I think part of the reason why I'm hesitant is because I remember it took me a month of tinkering to get things e path, I wanted to put them again, and I don't want to have to put a lot more effort in.

    Also, I am on a PC, so not tech drag on the screen for me.

    Oh and hey - anyone know what they mean when they say "you need a TV Tuner to watch shows in Media Center"? Is this just dongle a little or something that I can get, or is it rather to tie really a 'cable' in my Inbox? Summer of wonder on this subject. Will I need another box my cable to connect to my PC company or what is a TV tuner, exactly?

    Any help and information would be deeply and appreciated muchly.

    Hello Raven,

    Please keep us updated on the issue.

    When you upgrade, your data and programs will remain. However, there may be a possibility that some of your programs are not compatible with Windows 8/8.1.

    In the same context, I proposed to refer you to the article see which works to ensure the compatibility of programs.

  • Question about product key Windows XP Pro on Satellite A135-S4427

    I have an A135-S4427 which came with Windows Vista.

    All I need now is a product key for activation of windows. I tried to use the key which is at the bottom of my laptop... but did not work.

    Any help please?

    HI penny,

    The product key on the bottom of your laptop is specific to the OEM of VISTA that came bundled with your noteook version. If you have installed a different operating system, then you must use the product key provided with the operating system that you have installed. It will be normally provided in the CD itself or on the packaging.

  • Question about processor and Windows. need to answer accrdingly to discription below. ?

    I use windows xp. on cpu 2.4, 1 gb ram and 256 of the hard drive. and I am aware of two pins in my processor is broken by the heat of combustion. the system still works fine. but the only problem that I face is that it takes 3 x the normal time to copy the data from the drive usb or vice versa...  This is: it is because of the processor broken pins to copy slow. and is there a way to solve via software system say avoid those specifice pins or some how? ?   Hopefully the issue is understandable. answer please...

    Pins broken on a processor and things still work, and your concern is slow copy?

    What is "thermal burning?  You can expand on how these pins really broken?

    There is no software (that I know) to "move" broken material as you describe.  You would be better to spend a little money to find a replacement processor or a replacement processor and motherboard that will accept your current memory, etc. MY HUMBLE OPINION.

    Is * only * the cause of your slow copy - questionable.  Save more explanation of what happened to the pins of the processor - I suspect there is other damage suffered by the system, you don't even know of which could cause slow best USB.  Something with the motherboard, possibly.  Specifically the same USB ports.

    I mean - you could back up everything, perform a clean installation of the operating system and see if it works better after loading the latest drivers form the manufacturers of hardware components in your machine costs and clean...  Otherwise - shot in the dark so that blindfolded and ignoring obvious cries of "stop, don't shoot."  * smile *.

    Side also - comment - if there is something wrong * everything * and you declare it here, the system * not * "are still working fine.  * smile *.

  • Question about WebWorks and Windows 10 compatibility

    I would like to know, can I run on Windows 10 WebWorks? Someone at - it tried?

    As far as I know that it has not been tested officially. I do not think that you will be able to install it there because of the requirements inherited in the installer itself, but running it I expect to work. Cordova, which it inspired, is used to create applications for Windows 10, so I think it's reasonable for the base code works very well.

    I'll test it when Windows 10 comes out at least, and I'll see if I can try it on the preview in a VM too.

  • Question about moving from windows to another drive for another computer without an optical drive

    I bought new parts for an old PC: card MOTHER, video card, SSD, etc. However, currently the old parts that I have that I thought were able to move to the new computer - optical drive - are too old, because they use IDE instead of SATA cables.

    Now I wonder, because I did not have a SATA USB cable where can I connect my SSD for my laptop, can I install a version of windows in this SSD to my laptop?

    I have used a USB cable with an external DVD drive SATA and picked up in the BIOS, and started the installer of Windows 7, so I don't see why it shouldn't.

  • Photoshop CS2 began to have questions about the other windows.

    About 2 months ago, I started to notice that Photoshop CS2 has started to have problems with me open or do it before all other windows, such as Explorer or Chrome for example. This is what my PS normally looks like:Clipboard01.png

    and if I try to bring another program, it will act as if I clicked on the start bar and the PS is more picked up (you have to click the program again to interact with him)

    Then when I go to color/clear/do almost anything on the Web, my tools will vanish like this:Clipboard02.png

    and reappear when I click on the gray background of the PS window. They may not be disabled.

    Sometimes, and I don't have a screenshot because I can't reproduce right now, the new program (Chrome, Explorer, etc.) is displayed, but the windows tools will remain.

    I dealt with it for a while, but I would like to first of all streaming my art and I won't continue to happen. I like to use CS2, so please don't recommend just other programs unless it is just absolutely not repairable.

    I ran CS2 on this computer since September of the year last with zero problems, so I don't know why it started
