bootstrapping

I tried to construct a working example of a WiX 3.6 installation script. We currently use WiX 3.5 and now we would like to begin installing the .NET 4 Client Profile framework as a pre-requisite for our MSI file that our product.wxs script creates. WiX 3.6 seems like the best way forward. Is there a functional example of how to do this with WiX 3.6? Here is our 3.5 script we use today: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"> <!-- Version change handling --> <?define UpgradeCode="##

Background : I have a small Python application that makes life for developers releasing software in our company a bit easier. I build an executable for Windows using py2exe. The application as well as the binary are checked into Subversion. Distribution happens by people just checking out the directory from SVN. The program has about 6 different Python library dependencies (e.g. ElementTree, Mako) The situation : Developers want to hack on the source of this tool and then run it without having to build the binary. Currently this means that they need a python 2.6 interpreter (which is fine) and

When installing an application that can use either .NET 4.0 or 4.5, what is the best practice when installing the prerequisites .NET framework? And how do you implement it using Burn in WiX? These are the options and trade-offs that I am aware of: Option 1: Install .NET 4.0 (just what you need) Advantages: None known (except for Windows XP, where this is the only choice) Option 2: Install .NET 4.5 if .NET 4.5 is not present Advantages: User won't have to install .NET 4.5 later for future apps. App won't experience a .NET version change when user later does upgrade to .NET 4.5. App immediately

This question already has an answer here: What loads the java system classloader? 4 answers In java, it is said that all the classes are being loaded by classloaders. So first of all, bootstrap classloader loads all the rt.jar classes. So I am still confused as Classloader is also a class, so who will load this BootStrapClassloader. Kindly explain. Answer : When a JVM starts up, a special chunk of machine code runs that loads the system classloader. This machine code is known as the Bootstrap / Primordial (or sometimes - Null ) classloader. It is not a Java class at all, as are all other

I am a beginner in Angular JS. I was going through the below link. http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_00 What are the bootstrap files? Where are they located? What is automatic booting and manual initialization of bootstrapping? I read the disadvantage of manual initialization as below.. from the link http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/bootstrap Can anyone explain exactly what is the disadvantage here? Though Everyone above has answered perfectly and I found what I was looking for but still a working example seem missing. While understanding about Auto / Manual bootstrapping in AngularJS

I am learning C++ and I've just started learning about some of Qt 's capabilities to code GUI programs. I asked myself the following question: How does C++, which previously had no syntax capable of asking the OS for a window or a way to communicate through networks (with APIs which I don't completely understand either, I admit) suddenly get such capabilities through libraries written in C++ themselves? It all seems terribly circular to me. What C++ instructions could you possibly come up with in those libraries? I realize this question might seem trivial to an experienced software developer

In my Angular 4 application, if I type a non-root path into the url as my first visit to the site (i.e. localhost:4200/projects ), my application is bootstrapped and the correct component is rendered to the screen in the browser. However, once I serve the site through IIS, if I go to http://<my-domain>.com/projects , I get a 404 error (not from my application) and the application is never bootstrapped. How do I get a visit to a non-root path as the first visit to the site in production to recognize that the application is an Angular application and bootstrap the application for any path that

I am getting a warning when trying to include the .net 3.5 sp1 prerequisite for my setup project. The warning states Prerequisite could not found for bootstrapping. Any suggestions?

I'm looking to access a bean in my destroy closure in the Bootstrap.groovy of my grails project. Any ideas on how to achieve this? I seem to have no access to servletContext...? Siegfried Puchbauer You can obtain a a reference to the applicationContext from everywhere (including the destroy closure of BootStrap) using that chunk of code: def ctx = org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.context.ServletContextHolder.servletContext.getAttribute(org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.GrailsApplicationAttributes.APPLICATION_CONTEXT); Getting a reference to a bean is as easy as ctx.beanName . Here is a
