I have a multi-parted installer which contains cab files data1.cab, data2.cab, data3.cab and data4.cab. But some users found that when the data3.cab is corrupted(normally the fille size is 1900MB, but the corrupted one is only more than 300KB), the installer prompts to insert a disk which contains data5.cab, which doesn't exist. So i wonder how installshield does the disk spanning work and there is any way to validate the cab file first.
thank you.
I've never seen this problem before. The only problems I'm aware of is you have to burn the CD/DVD to have a volume label that matches what's in the Media table and if you have an _ in the feature name and compress 1 CAB per Feature the short/long filename conversion can get messed up. Otherwise I've been some really big installs over the years and not had a problem with cabbing.
Are you sure your installer built successfully? Are you having any CM problems between when the build is complete and your media is mastered?
The CAB file should be able to be opened using WinZip.

I'm using a java method to download via agent my multipage dashboard to server file system. When I open the downloaded file I get an error "Excel found unreadable contente in "test.xlsx". Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workboos, click Yes."
When I click on Yes button, I have a warning "Excel completed file level validation and repair. Some parts of this workbook may have been repaired or discarded."
Data are perfect, nothing is lost, but file is delivered to end users and I can't let it so.
I've tried the same on another environment, where OBIEE 12 is placed, and unfortunately I encounter the same trouble.
I really don't know what to do. We have installed the patch "11.1.1.7.181016" that promises to fix java security trouble in creating the excel file, but with fully unsuccess.
Any suggestion would be great and precious.
Thank you very much.
There's a reason that 11g is outdated and has been replaced with 12c which itself is already on the way out and being replaces by OAS.
The ancient versions have issues that aren't fixed anymore and something that came out in 2013 is expected to not work anymore with other modern software at some point.
It's way beyond time for you to upgrade. And fast. The longer you wait the more problems you incur.
Update: If the bundle patch and the one-off patch 22934699 don't solve the issue then you will be stuck with it.
Alternatively you can switch to CSV for the export since looking at this question here and your other one all you're doing is data dumping.
I need to add version info and retrieve it from the CHM file to make it possible to make an alert message to a user about a new CHM-file version available and downloaded.
It means, that I should compare versions of CHM on different machines (Server and clients).
The other way is date and time checking, but I should remember about time zones, so this is complicated, because also one should remember about different file systems, according to Windows SDK help about SetFileTime function and FILETIME structure.
If someone knows the trick - please share.
.chm files don't have version information. You will need to find some alternative way to mark the file version.
One way that occurs to me is to include a topic in the help file that contains the version. I imagine that this topic would be hidden, that is not linked by any other topic, not in the table of contents, etc.
All that remains is for your application to be able to read that topic from the help file. I'm sure that can be done with a .chm file parser, if you can obtain one. Perhaps more easily you can get the platform browser to read the topic for you. You can use IHTMLDocument2 to read a URI like this:
mk:#MSITStore:C:\somedir\somefile.chm::/html/SomeTopic.html
I am new to Installshield and I want to display the banners displayed in the dialogs during installation to be fetched dynamically from an external folder which resides in the path of the setup.exe (not part of the installation) using Installshield Basic MSI project.
I tried specifying the “File Name” for the banner bitmaps in the dialog as <SETUPEXEDIR>\MyLogo\Test.bmp. But this gives an error as “File not found. Error streaming file to binary table.” when the project is built.
Is there a way possible to achieve this?
Windows Installer requires that the images are baked into the .msi file in order to display them (it saves the bits, not the name, in the Binary table), so it's very reasonable to summarize this as not supported.
As a possible workaround (one I'm uncertain whether it can work), it's feasible that a custom action could write temporary records to the Binary table or Control table that containing the image found at run time. Note that this sort of custom action is somewhere between admitting failure and a semi-custom action. Furthermore finding the image, dealing with incorrect image sizes, determining which dialog boxes need the added image Binary or Control record, and possibly deleting an existing Binary or Control record, are left as exercises for an eager reader.
It seems like Sticky Notes are no longer saved in %AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\
I even did a search for *.SNT with no results.
It seems like Microsoft have changed the way Windows handles Notes. Anyone know where the notes are saved now and how to backup/restore them?
Use this document to transfer Sticky Notes data file StickyNotes.snt to the new format
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/recover-backup-sticky-notes-data-file-windows-10/
Restore:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
Close Sticky Notes
Create a new folder named Legacy
Under the Legacy folder, copy your
existing StickyNotes.snt, and rename it to ThresholdNotes.snt
Start the Sticky Notes app. It reads the legacy .snt file and
transfers the content to the database file automatically.
Backup
just backup following file.
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\plum.sqlite
It appears Microsoft now stores them in a SQLite database file called plum.sqlite located here:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\plum.sqlite
It depends on the version of Windows 10 you're using. Starting with Windows 10 Anniversary Update version 1607, Sticky Notes is storing its data in the following directory:
%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe
If your Windows 10 has an older version, it is storing the date in the following directory:
%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\StickyNotes\StickyNotes.snt
Here what i found. C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState
There is snapshot of your sticky note in .png format. Open it and create your new note.
Sticky notes in Windows 10 are stored here:
C:\Users\"Username"\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes
If you want to restore your sticky notes from earlier versions of windwos, just copy the .snt file and place it in the above location.
N.B: Replace only if you don't have any new notes in Windows 10!
If at all you can't find .snt folder and above mentioned answers don't work for you. you can simply take plum.sqlite file and read it online or sqlite editor.
for online you can refer to http://inloop.github.io/sqlite-viewer/ link and browse the url as C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
and pick sql lite file and execute it. Post executing select Note and you will find all rows corresponding to each sticky notes you have lost. Select the Text column and copy content, you will find all your data there.
ENJOY !!!!
In windows 10 you can recover in this way, there is no .snt file
Start Run
Go to this %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Copy this folder Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Replace it with new Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Check your sticky notes now, you will get all your data
It worked for me when HDD with win8.1 crashed and my new HDD has win10.
Important to know
- Create Legacy folder mentioned in this link.
- Remember to rename the StickyNotes.snt to ThresholdNotes.snt.
- Restart the app

I have created an application and associated on registry a file extension on Windows 10, so when you double click a file associated with my extension, it opens my app with the file as parameter.
Now, I want the files associated to my application to behave in Windows 10 just like images - I mean, having a thumbnail preview, so when the user selects "large icons", he would be able to see a preview of the file.
I wonder how can I do it. What kind of metadata my file should have so Windows would recognize it and show a preview. Of course, I don't want just large icons, I want a file preview just like image files.
It isn't hard for me to generate a preview bitmap and integrate it to the file format I created (or even to change the file format completely, since I didn't publish anything yet), but how would windows recognize it? Is this even possible?
Thanks in advance
After some research, I found a sample code that does exactly what I need. It creates a thumbnail provider, which have access to the file's contents (binary), and then I can use it to generate the thumbnail of the file.
The sample that creates a IThumbnailProvider can be found here:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/CppShellExtThumbnailHandler-32399b35/view/SourceCode#content
The project should generate a dll, that we should register on Windows. It might be done using the following lines:
system32/regsvr32 ThumbnailProviderx64.dll
syswow64/regsvr32 ThumbnailProviderx86.dll
unregistering is like this:
system32/regsvr32 /u ThumbnailProviderx64.dll
syswow64/regsvr32 /u ThumbnailProviderx86.dll
Another nice sample could be found at:
