This is the first app that I'm trying to deploy.
I need the installer to establish a symlink with one of the installed files as well as adding the user to a different group. I'm currently using component.addElevatedOperation("CreateLink", <linkPath>, <targetPath>) and component.addElevatedOperation("Execute", "usermod -a -G dialout id")
to accomplish this.
The installer builds successfully with the IFW's binarycreator.
The problem occurs when running the installer. If I try to install the component containing these operation, the installer freezes. It freezes right after I've entered the sudo password. How do I get the installer to successfully run these commands?

I have written an application using docker-toolbox and inno setup script for the application installation in windows 10.
And I want to remove the docker-toolbox VM, while I uninstall my program. However, the VM cannot remove completely by following inno setup script.
[Setup]
PrivilegesRequired=none
[UninstallRun]
Filename: "{cmd}"; Parameters: "/C ""docker-machine rm -y myDocker"""
The command "docker-machine rm -y myDocker" always work whenever runs in my user cmd, but not works in inno setup uninstallrun.
And I checked and found out that docker-toolbox is based on VirtualBox. VirtualBox uses a per-user environment. Becoming root (or any other user) does not give you access or more powers to the original user's VMs. ALWAYS perform VM operations as the user that actually created the VMs. Hence, I have to run a command as a original user in uninstallrun, but I cannot find a way to do so.
Looking forward for a help and support, I have spent lots of times in this problem.
Is there any way to use runasoriginaluser in uninstallrun in inno setup?
You should not modify a specific user profile from an (un)installer that runs with Administrator privileges (installs software for all users).
See Installing application for currently logged in user from Inno Setup installer running as Administrator.
runasoriginaluser flag is not supported in UninstallRun section. Probably because it won't be of any use there anyway. What the flag does in Run section is that it executes program with privileges with which the installer was originally executed. But uninstaller (for installer elevated to Administrator privileges) is executed with Administrator privileges straight away, when executed from Control Panel/Settings app.
I am installing npm using command "npm install -g windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell (run as Administrator)". It has few dependencies of visual c
++ tools and python 2.7
I am receiving an error while installing python 2.7.11
While installing by admin also i am receiving error.
I have tried giving permissions to that specific location also, set UAC to never notify also. but nothing works.enter image description here
I know it probably late but thought I'd add my thoughts.
Its most likely due to your anti-virus access protection denying write permission for this extension. I had the exact same trouble while trying to install both Python 2 and 3 but it worked fine when I temporarily paused my anti-virus.
.enc extension is associated with ransom wares and therefore most organizations black lists this particular file.
You can try rename any text file to .enc and would notice the same error.
I need to run the mandatory update for ColdFusion 10 so I can apply the later updates to the server. I downloaded the file and tried the instructions listed here: Mandatory Update Instructions.
I have a singular instance, so this should be fairly straightforward. I download the file, place it in the "hf-updates" folder, and then do java -jar cf10_man_updt.jar and I get the following notice:
Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode
will be used instead...
The installer proceeds to hang and fails to complete. I then go to option #2: Silent mode. I create my properties file and then do java -jar cf10_mdt_updt.jar -i silent -f install.cfg.txt. I get the following message:
Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported
Unable to load and to prepare the installer in console or silent mode.
This one has the courtesy to actually terminate so I don't have to close the command prompt window to retry, but I'm still nowhere. Any ideas on what I can do?
Alex provided the correct answer. I had been using the JRE in my program files folder (explicitly, actually. There was no javapath to speak of in the environment variables. I shorthanded the command for the sake of brevity). I changed the command to "C:\Coldfusion10\cfusion\jre\bin\java" -jar cf10_mdt_updt.jar and the install ran successfully.
I want to upgrade Firefox OS 1.1 on my Alcatel One Touch Fire to the master branch (the latest revision). After having read the Mozilla Wiki, I cloned the B2G repository, built it for the hamachi target by typing:
./config.sh hamachi && ./build.sh
(There are even prebuilt images)
Now is the hardest part, since Alcatel phones are not rooted and seems to have a locked bootloader.
The docs say that I should flash the device by typing:
./flash.sh
But all I get are these errors:
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
remount failed: Operation not permitted
push: /home/user/B2G/objdir-gecko/dist/b2g/dictionaries/en-US.aff -> /system/b2g/dictionaries/en-US.aff
failed to copy '/home/user/B2G/objdir-gecko/dist/b2g/dictionaries/en-US.aff' to '/system/b2g/dictionaries/en-US.aff': Read-only file system
Could anybody write an simple step-by-step tutorial (easier than this) on how to install the latest Firefox OS to a stock Alcatel One Touch Fire?
I guess first we can check if the phone itself is rooted.
You could try,
$ adb shell
And if shows,
root#android:/ #
Then I think the phone is rooted, and you can flash your phone with ./flash.sh.
If it is not rooted, I think the link you mentioned has provided the steps to create a new boot.img so that you could root the phone.
Here is an excerpt from Mozilla guide on flashing phones related to Hamachi (Alcatel One Touch Fire):
Best build for Hamachi: moz-central Use your LDAP to go here: https://pvtbuilds.mozilla.org/pvt/mozilla.org/b2g_ril/latest-hamachi-mozilla-central/
And then run this script command line: fullflash_gecko_ril_gaia.sh You
may need to preface this with ./ but it should just run upon your
hitting enter. DON'T run ./flash.sh. THIS CAN BRICK YOUR HAMACHI :( -
GB
What is my order of operations from the beginning?
FOR ALL DEVICES... AFTER you have installed ADB, Git, and Xcode, you should:
Connect your device to your machine via USB. You're SURE it's plugged in? OK then...
Get your build with your LDAP credentials (from moz-central): Buri: Need from Naoki Hamachi:
https://pvtbuilds.mozilla.org/pvt/mozilla.org/b2g_ril/latest-hamachi-mozilla-central/
Run this script: fullflash_gecko_ril_gaia.sh
Download gaia from github (it's easier than the command line as you avoid a pull request) at: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia Along
the right hand side there is an option to "Download ZIP." Unpack that
into a folder, open Terminal and "cd" (ask Stephany or Francis if you
need help with this) into the folder (i.e. wherever you unpacked your
zip file). Run "make reset-gaia".
You should see... a whole bunch of stuff scrolling by on the command line and your device should reboot. If your device does NOT
reboot, try ADB reboot.
I have a Jenkins server on OS X 10.7, which polls a subversion server, builds the code and packages the app. The last step that I need to complete is deploying the app on a remote host, which is a windows share. Note that my domain account has write access to the target folder and the volume is mounted. I've tried using a shell script build step:
sudo cp "path/to/app" "/Volumes/path/to/target"
However i get a "no tty" response. I was able to run this command succesfully in Terminal, but not as a build step in Jenkins.
Does this have something to do with the user being used when starting up Jenkins? As a side note, the default user.name is jenkins and my JENKINS_HOME resides in /Users/Shared/Jenkins. I would appreciate any help as to how to achieve this.
Your immediate problem seems to be that you are running Jenkins in the background and sudo wants to input a password. Run Jenkins in the foreground with $ java -jar jenkins.war.
However, this most probably won't solve your problem as you'll be asked to enter a password when the command runs - from the terminal you started Jenkins from (presumably it's not what you want). You need to find a way to copy your files without needing root permissions. In general, it it not a good idea to rely on administrative permissions in your builds (there are exceptions, but your case is not it).
