I want help creating an .iso file from my current installed Antergos system with all the customizations .I want the created image to have preinstalled all the packages and programs I have . But folders like downlods , documents and others not to be included.
I am a new user and dont know how to search for something like that .All my search end up on information about how to install antergos from usb :smile: .
It's complicated but I don't reject the idea that it's possible...
If you want to make a "rescue" CD then you can use Archiso which is probably what you were thinking about.
You can also "Remaster the install ISO" as explained in the documentation.

Does anyone know how to completely remove MarkLogic 7 on MacOSX?
I've read their documentation which says:
To entirely remove MarkLogic, remove the following directories:
~/Library/MarkLogic
~/Library/Application Support/MarkLogic
~/Library/StartupItems/MarkLogic
~/Library/PreferencePanes/MarkLogic.prefPane
But I don't have those folders. I have no idea where it's been installed!
Then it says:
To make Mac OS X completely forget it ever had a MarkLogic installation, run the following command from a terminal window:
sudo pkgutil --forget com.marklogic.server
But that didn't seem to do anything. I still have it in my System Preferences.
My guess is that when you say you don't have those folders, you mean that you don't see ~/Library when you open Finder (please comment if that's not the case). You can make the Library directory appear by:
Open Finder
Click on your home directory
Click the Settings icon (gear)
Click Show View Options
Check the Show Library Folder option
Now you should be able to see the Library folder and you'll be able to remove those directories.
Note: I don't know your background, so forgive me if this is too basic, but the ~/Library directory contains a bunch of stuff that OS X uses to make your system run. It's hidden because making mistakes in there can cause problems that are tricky to fix. If the contents of ~/Library are not familiar to you, you might want to un-check that option when you're done.
Dave is probably right. But just in case, you can use that prefpane to stop MarkLogic, then use the Error Log button to open the log. Start MarkLogic and the first new line in the log will tell you where it is:
Notice: Starting MarkLogic Server 7.0-3 x86_64 in /Users/${USER}/Library/MarkLogic
with data in /Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/MarkLogic/Data
Also, don't delete ~/Library/PreferencePanes/MarkLogic.prefPane, but remove the preference pane by right-clicking on it in System Preferences. It will then be deleted, but you can't remove its icon from System Preferences if you have deleted the preference pane.
i have been looking on the internet for an example of using felix file install ... in particular i would like to know how to load this bundle ad how to feed it with the needed configuration files.
I would like to take this occasion to aske you othe information like:
How does Felix file install work in conjuction with spring DM (are there any problems?)?
Since i don`t have a fixed dir list to watch with Felix file install ... is there any way to tell him to watch multiple directories (for example a directory and all of its subdirectories)which are not know from the start?
I appreciate your help very much and i hope i was able to explain you my concerns as clearly as possible
I make a fair amount portable Apps for personal use and they work perfectly for the most part. I do, however, find it quite frustrating that if I run them on another computer none of my preferences are retained, as a program always looks in appData for the configuration files (which obviously don't exist on another system), so I'm wondering whether there is some kind of command line to launch an .exe with a custom .ini location.
I'm asking this firstly because Google has proved fruitless (once again) and secondly because I know it's possible - I've actually done this before, but with only one of my Apps. I accomplished this by launching the App via the command programFile.exe -f configFile.ini /s (I have also seen programFile.exe -d -f configFile.ini /s elsewhere). Naturally, I thought I would try to apply this to some other Apps but it seems it only works for that particular App.
So, is there a command/switch that I am unaware of that will do this for an .exe file?
Thanks
It really depends on each executable file you are using. Some have support for what you are looking for, and some don't. Some programs don't even use .ini files. What you should look for is if each and every program you use have support for user data custom location.
Edit
The only case where generic arguments would be avaialble for a group of EXE files is if they are generated with the same tool, which automatically provides these arguments for you. InstallShield and MSI install programs have that kind of feature (with the silent install and automated installation for instance).
I suggest you look into the tool you are using to generate your portable Apps, and see if it does provide those generic arguments for you, and how they work. If it does not have that feature, then look into the Apps you were able to specify a custom location for your INI file. Somewhere into the code, there must be a piece of code that handles the arguments you specify to the EXE file and handles them. You should share that piece of code with your other Apps, to make sure they provide the same arguments list.
I've got a "Project" containing a mixed set of files that my application compiles into an installable using InnoSetup. Many of the project files are system or configuration files, and not relevant to the actual install. Therefore, i want to include only the relevant files in an installer. I have a list of them in my application, but no way to inject this information into the template Inno setup script.
What options are available to achieve this?
Regards
Tris
Note: The files are too big to really be copied in a reasonable length of time. :)
sorry for being so late...and then just asking the obvious: why can't you just keep irrelevant files out of the Inno-Script? Do I understand right: you have an app that generates a setup-script for InnoSetup based on a template? Can't you then modify the app? Alternatively, any chance to edit the ISS and remove the irrelevant files?
Cheers

I have a requirement where my client want to install a custom "Print to File" printer (apparently MS has an SDK for this?). They want to be able to install this as a kind of "application" so that if someone chooses to print to this printer, they have to answer a few questions, and the file gets "printed" to a path of our choosing. (we will then do some other things with the file such as rename it and SFTP it)
I have tried googling, looking for things such as "customize print to file" and I have found nothing. Does anyone have any experience with this and can give me a kick in the right direction?
EDIT: I would rather have a c# oriented solution but I am willing to take anything right now.
Edit 2: The idea is for this "custom print driver" is for a document imaging company to provide an easy method for their customers to store/archive documents. The idea, is that the customer, if they want to store/archive a document, they would print, from standard windows applications such as Word, Excell, Acrobat Reader, Web Pages, etc., to the "company X" printer driver. When doing so, the document would get "printed" to a file in a specific location that another application (which has a filewatcher service on it, which would rename it and send it to the SFTP server), knows to watch. The document that is printed to the file, should ideally also be able to come out on paper (AKA just like normal). When printing to the "Custom print driver", we also need to have a form filled in which would provide meta-tags for the archiving system, which would also be uploaded to the document imaging system.
I am not looking to recreate a printing application, nor am I looking to add "printing" into a custom application. This needs to work at the Windows level.
I have no problems with the SFTP, FileWatcher, Alchemy integration (the document archiving application) or the document renaming portion. It's the "custom print driver" that I am having issues with. This is all compounded by the fact that when installing the application, I need to automatically install the "custom print driver", and configure it during the install process. Essentially the solution needs to be installed as a printer available under "My Printers" and should be available for any type of document, Word, Excell, PDF, etc. Oh, and it needs to be availabe for XP, Vista, and Windows 7 . . . . :(
Thanks in advance for everyones help. I have a feeling that this one is going to be a doozy :(
Hah! I knew I'd seen at least one...

Can't make a recommendation of any sort not having tried this particular toolkit - but it would appear to me to bear a strong resemblence to the sort of solution you're after.
What kind of customization you are talking about? Can't you use the .Net inbuilt one?
