Installshield Suite Update URL prompt - installshield

Currently when i enter the Update URL and that is triggered by the Setup.exe application, the user has no choice but to download the update. There is no prompt to the user as IF they would like to perform the update first or not, they are simply forced to download the update when one is found. My exe is 430MB so i don't want them to be forced to download that if they don't want to. Is there a way to intercept the check and ONLY download/update the exe if the user answers YES to a prompt? I see in the /debuglog file that the URL is checked than immediately starts the download and displays the 'ISDownloadProgress' dialog. But also shows that the 'InstallationWelcome' dialog is shown as well even though it is not. It must be hidden somehow i guess.

The Update URL setting is best suited for a downloading setup launcher which is itself quite small. Since downloading setup launchers can be invalidated if the resources they fetch are moved or removed, it doesn't let the user choose whether to get the updated launcher.
Since this behavior is not currently optional, you could file an enhancement request with the support team, or you could write a wrapper that performs a similar check.

Pop up an alert when someone tries to check out a project that is already checked out by someone else

I want to pop up an alert when someone tries to check out a project/file that is already checked out by someone else on TFS, Visual Studio 2012.
Let's say I checked out a file and let others to check out but prevent from check in. When someone else tried to check out same file, pop up should inform them about my checkout, but they can still checkout and try some changes. I searched the web but couldn't find a solution for that.
I know we can look for current checkouts form VS console with tf status command, but I'm looking for something visual when they tried to check out.
One way to achieve this is to use a version control system such as Git or TFS (Team Foundation Server) that supports file locking. In TFS, you can use the "tf lock" command to lock a file so that only you can check it out. When someone else tries to check out the locked file, they will receive an error message telling them that the file is locked.
Another way is to create a script or program that periodically checks the status of the files in the repository and displays a pop-up message if a file is already checked out by someone else. This script can be run on the client side as a background process or on the server side as a service.
You can use the TFS API to check for check-out status and trigger the alert accordingly.
It's also worth noting that some integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio have built-in functionality for displaying file lock status, so you may want to check if the functionality is available in your chosen IDE before implementing a custom solution.

How To ADD Firefox Default Applications

So I'm trying to find a way to add default file extensions options to Firefox. Since for whatever reason it doesn't give you the option?
Example: Settings > General > Applications
I want to add new content types and then be able to select my default application of choice.
The current issue is, that I use an MSP client that when necessary allows us to remote into a client's workstation for troubleshooting. Normally one would just click on the "Start Remote Session," button, and it brings up the application to do so. However, since it operates in some form of Javascript (I think....?), it doesn't technically download a file for me to save and then execute through the app. It just opens the app automatically. It never gives me the option to save the a file or anything like that, that it would use for the Remote Session app.
So I want to figure out how to bypass this issue by just adding the extension needed for this process in Firefox's default content types.
Works on Windows, I'm currently on Linux. (So please don't tell me to not use linux or any form there of. That or to use wine or playonlinux. I already am)

Issue in running a client script in NetSuite suitescript 2.0

I have a client script in NetSuite 2.0 which is already running ,but if I am making any changes to it, the new changes are not getting reflected the script is still running with the old code.
Even if I try to add single log.debug it is not getting reflected when the script is running.
There are a couple of things to check:
first thing is if you are running in the UI then your browser probably cached the script so a ctrl-F5 to reload the page should fix things.
second you may not be updating the correct file. If you navigate to the script definition you can open the code directly and verify your changes are there.

Bamboo 5.5.0 - How to delete a remote agent's capability via the bamboo-capabilities.properties file?

I am currently trying to automate the process of bamboo remote agent installation and uninstallation. I have run into a problem in regards to adding and removing capabilities.
What I am trying to automate:
(The following is what I do on the bamboo server via the GUI, I want to do this on the remote agent machine via bash script.)
I install the remote agent on a VM machine, then start it up. I go to the bamboo interface and click on the newly created agent's name.
I add a custom capability type, for the key I put 'buildserver' and for the value I put the name of the agent.
I add an 'Executable' capability of type 'Command' with Executable label 'cygwin' and path 'C:\cygwin64\bin\bash'
I navigate to the git executable, and remove it by clicking 'delete.' <--- (the problem step)
what I've done.
I have looked here and found a way to automate steps 1-3 using the following "bamboo-capabilities.properties" file:
buildserver="AGENTNAME"
system.builder.command.cygwin="C:\cygwin64\bin\bash"
However I am stuck on how I would remove the git capability (step 4.) I've tried something appending something like this to the file:
system.git.executable=""
but it does not seem to do anything. Does anyone know how I would do this? There seems to be very little documentation about this online.
Thanks very much.
I never found a way to get around this, but I found a workaround. I later learned the point of removing git in my situation was to allow a shared capability that was also called git to take precedence. My workaround was to set the non-shared capability to the value of the shared capability. I am not 100% sure that this does the same thing, and I am not in a position to test it yet, but as a capability seems to be only a key-value pair I don't see why it wouldn't.... will update if anything breaks.

Launching a web page in a different process

I want to launch the browser in a different process when a particular link is clicked on the page. When I checked the net I found the following tip: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/3849 . But there we have to change the registry. Is there any simple way of doing this without touching the registry?
If you use the Google Chrome browser, each new window or tab runs in a separate process. Internet Explorer version 8 will do the same (it's currently in the second beta round).
Earlier versions of IE will run a new window in a separate process if it is launched from, say, the Start menu or the command line, or a link in an email (but not by clicking a link within IE). I imagine you could create a proxy that the client would run through, which would intercept the links you care about and launch them by running a command line request. That seems like more trouble than mucking with the registry though (assuming that registry change still works -- looks like your link is from 2002).
I don't believe this is possible unless you change the client computer setup or software it's running.
Why do you want to do this?
