Wehn we try to import the custom action to Kaizala portal, it throw "missing package.json" error,the package.json exist in the zip.
Zip all the files into a single zip file
Make sure that the zip does not include another directory inside it but the files are
present at the root directory of the zip
For more help you may go through this link (Microsoft Docs) :-

We find this error, mostly when we make mistake of zipping the folder, rather zipping only the folder contents.
If you're using Windows do not select Custom Action Source Folder to zip.
Go inside the Custom Kaizala Action folder you created and Select All then try zipping.

I have created the default play application in IntelliJ in directory P. I have over-written the default index.scala.html with my own html code. The html code refers to some css and js files which are outside the directory P. To include these external files, I added the directory of these files using project configuration settings.
My webpage doesn't load properly as the server returns 404 for the css and js files. What am I doing wrong?
When you added your directory using project structure, you only say:
Hey, IDEA, please consider this folder part of my project, consider
its contents source code and display it when I open my project.
However, when you deploy or run your app, you only deploy the usual folders to the server, which contain the resources which will be available for clients to access.
The external directory is not part of these directories and will not be deployed.
What you can do is to copy the file from the external directory as a part of your build process before deploying the application.
EDIT: Detailed answer here: What is intellij's build process for play applications
I've a zipped file which contains around 1000+ files.
I was able to bundle the zip file into msi.
But I would like to know how to unzip that file using any custom action
We had this requirement to unzip a file and place or the sub directories and files inside it at a particular location after installation.
Solution:
1. Create a exe (console app) that will unzip the file and place required files at required location.
2. Ship this exe with installer
3. Make this exe run (with execute sequence) while the application is installs.
This may add overhead, but this works.
I have an MVC app and I need to set write permission to Everyone on a single file.
The file is generated on the fly during installation by a custom action script. The file itself is created inside the app folder.
I know the final path of the file, after the installation process
Online I've seen only examples for setting permission to folders and subfolders, none of them seemed to address my issue
Hi I have an SSIS package in which i have a main package that references child packages, is there a way I can make the location path external using a Relative path or just the file name. I cant use the full C: drive path as this is subject to change.
yes, but you have to find a way of changing the current working directory of the execution of the package. I worked at one place where we ran bat files to execute the packages and the first line used cd to set the working directory to the folder location of the parent package. I think I've also seen people use a script task inside the parent package to set the working directory based on the runtime location of the parent package.

from what i found it is best to use the project reference system instead of file reference and you can reference any project file if you deploy to the SSISDB instead of the MSDB, it works much better than the MSDB as well as being able to work with package params easier
I am trying to use Nuget to distribute a ms build .targets file. I need to modify some elements of the file to include the installed path of a few assemblies. For that I would like to use the tools folder. I am having a hard time finding the token (if it exists) to do the replacement. Has anyone encountered this problem or know of a workaround?
http://docs.nuget.org/docs/creating-packages/configuration-file-and-source-code-transformations
You'll have to go the PowerShell route to get this done, as no transform exists AFAIK. The init.ps1 file can process some parameters provided by the NuGet VSIX.
Simply add the following to the top of the init.ps1 file and use the $installPath variable in your scripts that modify the file content.
param($installPath, $toolsPath, $package, $project)
Check here for an example usage.
