i have a problem with the installation of a Firebreath plugin on Windows XP machine.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 setup project to place generated plugin dll in program folder to get the plugin work but when i run the installer the plugin is usable only by the user who install the plugin and if i log in the machine with another user with limited privileges Firefox cannot see the plugin.
What i'm doing wrong with this process?
Should i use Wix installer instead of Visual studio 2008 setup project to get the plugin work for all users in the machine ?
What is the correct "Firebreath" way to install a plugin and to make it visible to all users in the machine?
Thank for your time!
Francesco.
1) Nothing. This is as designed; FireBreath installs per-user by default, always has. This is a feature, since it means you don't have to have administrator privileges to install.
2) Not by default, no.
3) Uncomment the following line in your PluginConfig.cmake file and rerun the prep script:
# If you want to register per-machine on Windows, uncomment this line
set (FB_ATLREG_MACHINEWIDE 1)

I want to make a setup which installs all exes and dlls in the Windows program folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\) and other files in the Windows data folder (e.g. C:\ProgramData\). But even if I select 'per-user' installation, all users can see and launch the installed program.
I intend to provide users with the option to install the software in either the per-user or per-machine context if possible with the Express version.
This settings has the desired effect:
General Informations: Set ALLUSERS=2
4: Dialogs: Global Dialog Settings: Set Show All Users Option=Yes (All Systems)
I've developed a VSTO addin with VS2012 signed by a DigiCert certificate. I need to deploy it to all the Enterprise users so the installer shouldn't prompt the user because it will fail since all the installation process is silent.
I'm not able to do it since it always ask the user if it should or shouldn't install. If I set VSTOInstaller /S it doesn't install 'silently'.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks on advanced.
I found the answer. To solve this you have to install the public key certificate in your installer:
certutil -addstore TRUSTEDPUBLISHER "yourcertificate.cer"
Then, you just use VSTOInstaller:
VSTOInstaller.exe /I "youraddin.vsto" /S
That's all folks!
Yes you can.
Just Uncheck the ClickOnce manifest CheckBox and Check the signing the assembly using any .snk file.
You will need to create installer project and the rebuild the installer project will provide you the .msi and .exe file you can execute the following command on command prompt(Administator).
Though rebuilding of installer project will automatically check the ClickOnce checkBox but you can ignore that.

Looks like you need to GPO for deploying the software (using MSI installers).

I deployed a project via ClickOnce cause I like the update features, but after install on some systems its hard to find.
On windows Vista and Windows 7, you will find the ClickOnce cache here: c:\users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\obfuscatedfoldername\obfuscatedfoldername
On Windows XP, you will find it here: C:\Documents and Settings\username\LocalSettings\Apps\2.0\obfuscatedfoldername\obfuscatedfoldername
Is it possible to change the path of an application installed via ClickOnce? I've looked in the publish settings and don't see a way to change the default path. Am I missing something?
No, that's beyond the scope of a ClickOnce install.
Why don't you distribute your updates through the ClickOnce system?
I have made an application using Qt 5.0.2 and made its build using inno setup. The application is successfully installed and launched at my system and worked fine.But when i installed it on other system, application is not installing or launching also no error showing. Please help me guys... What to do
If you are using visual studio to build your application you will probably need to install vcredist_sp1_x86.exe on the destination machine. You can find it somewhere in the installation folder of Qt. You can add it to the list of files in the Inno script, and add entry in the [Run] section. Also make sure you have included in your setup script:
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
libGLESv2.dll
icuuc49.dll
icuin49.dll
icudt49.dll
D3DCompiler_43.dll
plugins/platforms/qwindows.dll ->should be installed in platforms/qwindows.dll in the destination folder. The same applies to imageformats plugins if you use them.
If you think there are too much dlls you will need to rebuild Qt with other configuration options, but that's another story...
Greetings,
With my app I install a Dll server for the Windows shell. The server is registered and unregistered properly by Inno by using the flag "regserver".
However if any explorer windows are open the dll is in use and cannot be deteled by Inno. How can I delete the dll automatically and uninstall the app properly?
Regards,
Cosmin
In addition to the regserver flag you could use the uninsrestartdelete flag for your shell extension. To quote from the Inno Setup help ([Files] section):
When this flag is used and the file is in use at uninstall time, the uninstaller will queue the file to be deleted when the system is restarted, and at the end of the uninstallation process ask the user if he/she wants to restart. This flag can be useful when uninstalling things like shell extensions which cannot be programmatically stopped. Note that administrative privileges are required on Windows NT platforms for this flag to have an effect.
