I developed my application with Qt 5.2.1 and MinGW compiler.The installer is created with NSIS and doesnt even require admin privilege.
I use blogger as my application's website, and post Google Drive links to download the setup files.
Suddenly Drive is now showing my application as a virus, even though I checked with virustital.com and the Windows anti-virus software.
I have not received any response to the post I submitted on their forum.
So I would like to know if there is any known common cause for this problem and whether that can be resolved.
PS: I have previously used the same Google services for another software that I developed few years ago, but never ran into such issues.
This is probably false-positive alarm.
Sometimes NSIS generated installer is recognized as virus (which is wrong).
Write to the AV company (I am not sure which AV software G drive uses) and report this problem - they should whitelist your software.
Sometimes simply rebuilding the installer helps too :)
Or my last idea is to remove 'dangerous' code from installer: many times inetC and various other internet calls are suspicious.

I have the following problem: I have a Laptop with two different user accounts (UserA & UserB / they belong to the same person but have different priveleges).
UserA: can build the solution and run tests locally (Everything is working as expected)
UserB: Has the rights to publish to the specific network drive, however he cannot build the project. The reason is that the Windows user itself has not the correct proxy settings configured, and thats why the nuget packages cannot be downloaded.
I have no possibility to change the proxy settings for UserB right now (It depends on internal processes, which might take a while)
However I would have expected, that when I build the solution with UserA, UserB would not need to build it again and just can publish it. This, does not work, as soon as I want to publish, VS tries to rebuild the solution and this does not work because some dependencies are missing and cannot be loaded.
Is there any solution for this problem? I tried to make a research, however I was not really sure for the correct keywords to search for.
Edit: I have now the domain added to my UserB, but I still have some other problems. However I found out that this article is heavily related to my issue: Unable to launch Visual Studio 2015 as a different user.
When I start Visual Studio via Command Line with the mentioned arguments, more works, however I am now not able any longer to connect to my database using Integrated Security = true in the connection string. But at least I can build now. Deploying also works but I just get a 500 Server error when I try to connect to the resource.
Edit2: I needed to add the domain to my user when opening Visual Studio with the command mentioned in the link above. This fixed my problem with connecting to the database.
Actually I do not need an answer anymore for my initial question but I will not delete it because maybe someone has an answer for a person who will have the same question later on.
We are going to be switching to Sitecore for our CMS and my team uses Macs. We have no .net, c# experience but are excited to learn. I understand Microsoft recently released Visual Studio Code to work on Mac, and I've looked into Xamarin. Can someone provide any tips for a Mac guy?
Visual Studio for Mac will not help you because Sitecore quite tightly relates on windows features like IIS and windows filesystem with drives and paths; also the rest of cross-platform ASP.NET 5 features (like owin etc.) are not yet supported by Sitecore.
At the moment the best way to work with Sitecore on Mac is virtualisation and in particular - Parallels Desktop for Mac. I am using that myself for last 3 years - that is the most convenient way. Parallels Desktop is a virtual machine solution that integrates your Windows VM very tightly into Mac, you can run multiple (let's say 2-4) Windows virtual machines at the same time (nice to test Content Management / Content Delivery distributed between separate "machines" just on one Mac) - they are all connected to each other and Mac by a "network". Also you will need to have an instance of SQL server (in that case you may allocate a separate VM or simply reference an external SQL server).
Parallels Desktop has a mode called Coherence, when in fact win and mac environments are sort of merged into each other, so you can for example drag-drop from Finder into Windows Exploreк like you do it natively, and get Windows start button at you Dock and many other great features.
However I prefer to run Parallels in a full screen mode on a second monitor to be 1-to-1 like a regular Windows machine. By setting hosts file on Mac machine I can run CMS and hosted websites right from Safari on Mac.
Also virtual machines are stored as folders on your hard drive, so you can easily backup your current state of OS as easy as just archiving that folder, and later revert to that moments you have "saved" - very helpful to experiment, especially if you are a beginner in Sitecore, so you'd not afraid to break anything accidentally.
Good place to start: official website, as well as quickly investigate all its magic on YouTube reviews.
P.S. of course, you may use any alternative virtualisation software, like VmWare etc.
I use Visual Studio for Mac to build my Sitecore solutions. We use a gulp task based on the one that comes with Habitat to deploy changes to files (binaries, views, config, etc...) into a Windows virtual machine running in Parallels on my Mac.
There have only been two things I am missing from Visual Studio on Windows - debugging and Sitecore Rocks.
If you can live without those two things you can definitely develop your Sitecore solutions from a Mac with Sitecore running in Windows.
I have a reseller account with Media temple. It doesn't support Railo ( http://www.getrailo.com/ ) out of the box but I really do want to use their service, but with some sites using Railo of course.
First port of call was Media temple to assist me...but they don't offer support with resellers on the DV with regards to installing software.
I also Googled and the only thing I can find is this (which looked perfect):
http://jakemauer.com/weblog/railo-on-mediatemple-dv-server/
However, it's out-dated somewhat and I simply do not posses enough technical skill to achieve it (I'm mainly a designer / front-end dev, offering reseller to my clients). One of the first things that guide requires is to get YUM going, but even that I was stuck on. The terminal threw up errors about other files it needed as 'dependencies' and I have no idea how to get that going. I found the process quite complicated. I'm not a server admin :(
I'd be happy to pay someone to do this, but would rather figure it out myself as I'm eager to learn too.
If anyone has experience doing this and can offer insight I'd appreciate it so much.
Thanks,
Michael.
The Railo installer should work just fine on a Media Temple VPS. Documentation on how to launch the Railo installer on a linux machine can be found here:
http://wiki.getrailo.com/wiki/Installation:InstallerDocumentation:LinLaunching
If you don't have a GUI on your server, don't worry, just SSH to your server and run the commands that are posted in the "Command-Line Install" sections.
If you have any problems with any aspect of the install process as outlined in the documentation, I'd recommend the Railo mailing list. The community there (like this one) is quite friendly and can walk you through almost any problems you encounter.
all. First of all I am sorry if this question is better for SuperUser, I couldn't tell. If it is it would be great if someone could migrate it.
So anyway, I'm building this service for SharePoint in Visual Studio 2008 with C#. Of course I need to be able to debug it to build it fast. Unfortunately my OS is XP Pro which can't run SharePoint because it is not a server OS. Instead of reinstalling my OS (which would create other problems) I got Server 2003 + SharePoint Server 2007 up and running inside a virtual machine with Virtual PC. Is there some sort of pipe I can create from Visual Studio that will let me test my service from within the virtual machine?
Thank you!
I guess I should add, these are the tools I have been given. At this time, reinstalling or getting new equipment/software is not an option.
This is definitely stackoverflow worthy. It is a development process related question after all.
So you have two issues, deployment and debugging.
For deployment, there are really two ways to approach this. One is that you create a real .wsp package that you can deploy/install/upgrade via the SharePoint provided mechanisms. You really should have this prepared since it is the way that your final code should be deployed. The trouble is that you can only perform the deploy/install/upgrade via a machine connected to the farm. In this case it would be your VM. In cases where I have had to work this way, I have scripted the creation of the .wsp and copied it to the server. On the server is another script to do the deployment. Yes it is more steps than I would like but it does work and it is pretty mindless so it isn't too much of a hassle.
The second approach would be the quicker, less correct way. In this case if all you are doing is changing the code, then you just need to get your new DLL to replace the old one and bounce IIS. You might be able to do that all remotely via script fired from Visual Studio after build succeeds action.
As for debugging, you can certainly debug things remotely. Look into tutorials on remotely debugging processes using Visual Studio.
Is there a way to meet the following criteria in distributing a Web Service to Windows machines?
1) Automatic installation and configuration of the Web Server.
2) No configuration (or even awareness) of a Web Server required by the customer.
3) No prompts to download and install Java or .NET - especially anything after .NET 2.0; those installs / restarts can take forever!
In short, is there a way to deliver a single install process that installs the Web Server along with a simple web app without requiring lengthy installations of pre-requisites? Something for even the most non-technical of users?
.NET's WCF almost meets the requirements but getting .NET updated up to 3.0 / 3.5 is a lengthy process and can be a turn-off for customers, even if the install holds their hand through the whole thing.
Rubyscript2exe was also very close, but it is extremely touchy and out-dated.
I am open to any technology / programming language - just looking for the slickest distribution process for my customers that meets the above three criteria.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on this as it is extremely important to me that my users have a simple installation experience. Here are a few things that I've found:
UltiDev Cassini: Cassini is that convenient mini-server that runs when you debug your web apps from Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer. UltiDev Cassini builds on that and looks pretty promising. It offers support for all non-beta flavors of .Net and integrates right into Visual Studio. Most interesting to me is the ability to include as part of your installer. The only down side is that pesky .Net pre-requisite. I can handle helping users get installed up to 2.0, but the install process to move to 3.0 and 3.5 is way too heavy for the typical user.
RubyScript2Exe: I like the premise of an executable Rails app. However, I attempted to use this on a Mac and it is simply too outdated and requires too many workarounds for my tastes. It's too bad, because I love Ruby on Rails development.
Server2Go: This is my favorite of the three options. It is easily distributable (just send off a zip file) and has a lot of nice options. For example, you can configure it to leave the included Apache server running even after the browser closes - that is PERFECT for a nicely packaged web service. It can also provide a customizable icon in the task bar for shutting down the service if necessary. I think this best meets my needs for the time being.
Please, if you know of any other options, let me know.
Also, you may be wondering, "Why not just write a desktop app?". The simple answer is that I don't need much of a GUI, if any. I need a simple to install web service that can be consumed by various other applications (web, mobile, and desktop included).
