I have a tool that I want to install on my main development box (Windows Server 2008). The installer tells me that it requires Vista. Of course I'm not saying Server 2008 is Vista, but I figure something that installs on Vista should be able to install on Server 2008. Is there some way (perhaps via a temporary registry change) to get a...

I am writing a bash script to set up a production server. The tasks at hand include compiling software, creating users and directories, copying files over, etc. I am wondering what other things I should do.

Is cp -r the best way or is there a more linux-y/unix-y way to do this? ...

I wanted to install a jar from a local directory with the command mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jta-1.0.1B.jar But Maven gave a build error which reads like: Invalid task '.01B.jar': you must specify a valid lifecycle phase, or a goal in th...
Hi. I recently discovered Ruby Shoes, which sounds rather useful for a beginner like me. The only the problem is that my laptop is x64, while the only Linux package is i686. I tried it anyway and it didn't work for me, I kept getting an error. I didn't expect it to work, of course, but is there still a way to get Shoes on x64 Linux? Than...
When should you install into the GAC and when should you not? (I am referring, really, to installing on a client's machine when they have purchased our product(s)). I have an assembly that is only going to be used with my one application (GAC or no-GAC)? I have an assembly that all my applications share (GAC or no-GAC)? All my applicat...

I am using WIX at the moment, but keep on running into limitations (such as ability to expand properties as the value of another property). Also not sure if I ran into a bug with the FileSearch element, because it is not working as expected (does not find a file that is definitely there). I can go the route of using custom actions built ...
I hate to resort to dumping problems on other people, and I'm sure this is a stupid problem that can be easily fixed, but it's really getting to annoy me and I can't figure it out. Well I tried installing Microsoft C# Visual Express, but after a few minutes into the installation I got a "Windows Module Installer stopped working..." erro...
I have a Fedora 10 64-bit server where I want to set up a nightly fresh install. The server is an exact clone of our customer's hardware and is used for running acceptance tests. I would have liked to set this up using a virtual machine, but that's prohibited due to problems we've had with the different video and network drivers on t...
Visual Basic 6 sometimes tries to install or complete the installation of other applications when it starts up. Why? I've seen this a number of times over the years and it's very annoying. Recently, I installed Business Objects, just the SDK, plus all service packs to 3.5 on a VM and the first time I go into VB6 it says Windows Instal...
I am curious as to why you don't have to use initdb as per the postgresql manual prior to running psql the first time? (I have installed version 8.3 on 8.04.1) Red Hat requires -c postgresql start but not init.db. However, on FreeBSD you have to run initdb. Why isn't setup consistent? Does it come down to a difference between apt-ge...
