I am trying to determine if it would be possible to run a traceroute in a Windows targeted PWA? I have looked into the WinRT API's (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps/windows-features). Could I perhaps use the ProcessLauncher Class (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.system.processlauncher)?
To launch a process the .exe must either be contained in the .appx
package or be registered in the whitelist for this API. To add an .exe
to the whitelist modify
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\EmbeddedMode\ProcessLauncher:AllowedExecutableFilesList
and add your executable to the REG_MULTI_SZ formatted string.
For example:after adding reg ADD
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\EmbeddedMode\ProcessLauncher"
/f /v AllowedExecutableFilesList /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d
"c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe\0"
Would it be possible to whitelist C:\Windows\System32\TRACERT.EXE then examine the results?

I have downloaded the program jq-win64.exe from 'https://stedolan.github.io/jq/' and installed the program in a folder C:\Program Files\jq\ on my computer.
I have also added the PATH to the program to the end of the systemvariable string in Windows 10 : . . . ;C:\Program Files\curl\;C:\Program Files\jq\
In one terminal window in Visual Studio Code I am running a server.
In another terminal window I am trying to execute the command curl -s localhost:3000 | jq
Terminal window 1:
C:\Users\SteinarV\PROFF_JAVASCRIPT\PROJECT\smartHouse
node server.js
API running on port 3000
Terminal window 2:
C:\Users\SteinarV\PROFF_JAVASCRIPT\PROJECT\smartHouse>curl -s localhost:3000 | jq
'jq' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file
... and do not understand why jq is not recognized.
Can someone help ?
I have downloaded the program jq-win64.exe from 'https://stedolan.github.io/jq/' and installed the program in a folder C:\Program Files\jq\ on my computer.
As you have indicated, you have a file called jq-win64.exe but you are trying to execute the command jq. You either need to rename the file to jq.exe or you need to use the command jq-win64.
For a detailed explanation of how Windows finds and executes a program in your path when you enter a command, see The Windows NT Command Shell: Command Search Sequence. Specifically:
...The shell now searches each directory specified by the PATH environment variable, in the order listed, for an executable file matching the command name. If a match is found, the external command (the executable file) executes...
...If the command name does not include a file extension, the shell adds the extensions listed in the PATHEXT environment variable, one by one, and searches the directory for that file name. Note that the shell tries all possible file extensions in a specific directory before moving on to search the next directory (if there is one)...
You indicate in the comments the same error persists even when the filenames match. Note that each running program has its own set of environment variables, and these aren't updated by global changes. You need to close and reopen cmd.exe windows after making a global change. See also Adding directory to path environment variable in windows. You can use the path command to verify whether a particular terminal session has inherited the PATH variable you defined, thus narrowing your problem.
You indicate that the problem still persists. You need to use the tools available to you to narrow it down further:
Try running the program with its full path:
"C:\Program Files\jq\jq-win64.exe" --help
This will confirm that the program is present where you think it is and can be run from the terminal.
Try running the program with no path and its extension:
jq-win64.exe --help
If this works but running the program without an extension doesn't, you might have set PATHEXT to something that doesn't include ".EXE".
Try setting the path explicitly in the terminal to contain only the program directory and nothing else, then run it with its full extension:
set PATH=C:\Program Files\jq
jq-win64.exe --help
(Note that after this test you'll need to close the terminal window and start a new one to reset the path.)
If this works, perhaps you have a mismatch in your path.
I wrote my HelloWorld.cs using MonoDevelop, and Gtk# 2.0. It runs fine in the debugger, and it builds HelloWorld.exe. When I run from a terminal window "mono ./HelloWorld.exe" then the program runs as expected so I know it is coded as expected. However when I attempt to run it by double clicking on it from Files (Linux version of Windows Explorer) it opens Archive Manager with an error "An error occurred while loading the archive".
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.02 LTS, if that makes a difference.
I tried creating a link "ln -s ./HelloWorld.exe ./meow", and double clicked on meow, however that also opens Archive Manager with the same error.
I don't want my end product to require the user to open a Terminal window to run my program, what do I do so that the user can double click on my program from Files to run?

Thanks Some programmer dude, I like the bundle idea as I may port this project to a different flavor of linux and I hope this gives me a path to get there.
However, I got error:
Failure to load i18n assemblies, the following directories were searched for the assemblies:
Path: .
In Custom mode, you need to provide the directory to lookup assemblies from using -L
ERROR: Couldn't load one or more of the i18n assemblies: Failed to load I18N.dll
I searched and found
https://www.mono-project.com/docs/tools+libraries/tools/mkbundle/
I followed those directions and got stuck at this part
mkbundle -o CacheServer --cross mono-5.8.0-ubuntu-16.04-x64 CacheServer.exe --machine-config /etc/mono/4.5/machine.config
my error is
ERROR: Unable to load assembly `gtk-sharp' referenced by `/home/amccombs/Projects/HelloWorld/HelloWorld/bin/Debug/HelloWorld.exe'
I tried
mkbundle --fetch-target gtk-sharp
with result
Failure to download the specified runtime from https://download.mono-project.com/runtimes/raw/gtk-sharp
I then tried
sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp
with result
E: Unable to locate package gtk-sharp
Files is detecting the .exe extension as an archive, and therefore it opens it with File Roller or similar.
Just right-click the file HelloWorld.exe and select "Open With Other Application", click on "Find New Applications", and then type "mono" and press ENTER. The app will open.
Another possibility is to create a .desktopfile, and place it under ~/.local/share/applications, with this contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=mono %F
MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;
Name=mono
NoDisplay=true
Type=Application
MKBundle creates a native app from a mono application. The downside is that you have to compile both the app and all its dependencies, which can be tricky. In any case, the package you are looking for is gtk-sharp2.
An alternative to MKBundle is to include a text file, say HelloWorld.sh with the contents:
mono HelloWorld.exe
And then make it executable with:
chmod +x HelloWorld.sh
You can then pack both files together (use a .tar.gz target, which preserves attributes such as the executable one), and probably with a README file explaining to double-click HelloWorld.sh.
Or maybe you can pack the .exe with the .desktop file, and explain in the README file where it must be placed.
There are tons of possibilities.
I'd like to open a .vhd and .vhi file in window for editing in Vivado from Tcl Console, but I can't find any command for that.
As of at least Vivado 2014.2 any unrecognized Tcl command will be sent to the OS shell for execution, so you can simply open whatever editor you like as if you were not in the Tcl shell. It basically automatically runs exec for you. Older versions you may have to run exec yourself.
eg
nedit file.vhd
Vivado being a design tool works on projects instead of individual files. So to edit a file, say xyz.vhd, the file needs to be part of a project. This can be done through Tcl console by creating a new project, adding xyz.vhd file to it and then loading the project.
Create a new project using the following command:
project -new
Add files:
add_file -vhd "xyz.vhd"
Save the project and run.
project -save
project -run

I'm creating a batch to automate setting up new computers and one of the programs is AVAST. When I install avast silently, it installs chrome as well. Chrome isn't a program that I'm wanting to put on and it seems there is no workaround. So now I'm trying to make it uninstall chrome silently after AVAST but it just opens a new cmd window instead of running the exe.
#echo off
CD /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"
for /r %%f IN (setup.ex?) DO (
START /WAIT "%%f --uninstall --force-uninstall --multi-install --chrome --system-level"
)
pause
Moving the end quotation to the end of %%f just gives an error that --uninstall isn't an existing file.
I've tried this on multiple PC's.
Not sure your still looking for an answer, but I was able to make your batch work.
CD /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"
for /r %%f IN (setup.ex?) DO (
"%%f" --uninstall --force-uninstall --multi-install --chrome --system-level
)
This may not be the answer... but it's too long for a comment! Are you certain that you must instqall Chrome? How did you install AVAST? Can we see the command line? If you used some kind of answer file perhaps it can be modified or perhaps you can pass arguments to your install command. Try doing the command with /? to see if you get choices. According to this you do have a choice. https://blog.avast.com/tag/google-chrome/
"As we get close to our launch date for our new Avast! Free Antivirus, version 5 we have an exciting new agreement with Google to announce. Starting in mid-November, we will be giving our new users an option to install Google Chrome when installing Avast. And to be clear here since I think some readers were reading too much into this entry. We are not forcing Chrome on users. It is entirely up to the user–to download/install is entirely up to the user and nothing is hidden."
So, this is what I need :
Let's say I have an index.html file.
How do I tell the terminal to open it using the default browser?
(Using AppleScript, BASH,...?)
from the directory containing index.html, try...
open ./index.html
the open command opens a file (or directory, or URL). open is included with MacOSx. specifics and options can be found using
man open
note: default application is determined via LaunchServices.
You can use the open command with the -a flag to open a file or location in Chrome (or any target application):
open -a "Google Chrome" index.html
This also works with URLs, i.e. open -a "Google Chrome" http://www.apple.com.

Actually, this is not quite as straightforward as it looks. As suggested by the other answers, OS X provides the open utility to launch applications matching a file type from the shell. However, in the case of a HTML file, that is the application registered with Launch Services for the file type public.html, which can, but need not be, your default browser (I think it is on a pristine install) – or whatever editor registers as able to edit HTML (not an uncommon occurrence on a dev system). And while the default browser is registered for the URL protocol http no matter what, there is no way to access that protocol handler to open a file with open.
To compound the issue, although the handlers are stored in the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist preferences accessible via the defaults command, the structure of the information (a dictionary with two same level entries, one denoting the protocol, one the handler) makes it non-trivial to parse with defaults.
The good news is somebody already solved that problem: HAMsoft Engineering offers the DefaultApplication shell utility. Download it and save it somewhere where it is accessible to the shell (typically /usr/local/bin, although that is not in the default path for shells on some OS X versions – check the contents of /etc/paths to be sure). That available, the following command will open a HTML file in the default browser, whatever editor / viewer might be registered otherwise:
open -a "$(/usr/local/bin/DefaultApplication -url 'http:')" "/path/to/your/document.html"
To open the filename.html in the default browser use :
open filename.html
open is a very good command as well as a feature of Mac OS that makes me fall in love with it more deeper.
It automatically chooses the appropriate default app to open the file.
And in case you want to open a file in your desired app rather then default :
open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app filename.html
The backslash \ after Google is used to escape the space character.
Alternatively you can write :
open -a "/Applications/Google Chrome.app" filename.html
Hope this helps you ( I know I am very late ) and others !!!.
You can also get the default browser with Perl: open http://example.com -a "$(VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=true perl -MMac::InternetConfig -le 'print +(GetICHelper "http")[1]')".
i managed to open the html file with chrome by placing the file after the browser command. so,
google-chrome-stable ./index.html
although im not sure what the call would be to the default browser, if you knew it you could put it as an alias in your .bashrc and from then on, use whatever you called your alias, plus the file.
goo ./index.html
just my experience, first response
In terminal you can run open index.html
this works on linux, should also work on mac
#!/bin/sh
# open a html file in default browser, not text editor,
# when text editor is set as default app for html files
url=file:///path/to/file.html
protocol=http
app=$(xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/$protocol)
# example: chromium-browser.desktop
[ -z "$app" ] && {
echo "error: xdg-mime could not find default app for protocol $protocol"
exit 1
}
app=$(basename $app .desktop)
gtk-launch $app "$url"
ideally i could just say
xdg-open http+file:///path/to/file.html
but this is not working
