How can I install the license key for my Abee CHM Maker? - chm

I had to reformat and have no instructions for installing the licence.key file after installing Abee CHM Maker. Their website has no help for it and no response from their support.
I have work to complete, so I am hoping to hear from another licensed user.
How do I install the licence.key file to activate the software?

The answer to this puzzle is found by opening the licence.key file in Notepad to produce...
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AbeeTech\CHM Maker]
"Name"="Your Name"
"Key"="ABCD-EFGH-IJKL"
Those are instructions to follow, ie: Regedit > create key as described.

How can i upgrade my Octave version to the latest one?

I have the 4.0.3 Octave version on my machine.
and I would like to upgrade my version using windows.
Can someone tell me please the steps to follow?
Thanks.
If you want to remove v4.0.3, the complete answer will depend on how you installed that version in the first place.
If you used an executable installer, then there should be an 'uninstall' option available. On Windows 10, you can sometimes right click on the shortcut in the startmenu and an Uninstall option will appear. Otherwise you can follow the directions at this link to navigate through the Settings to the Apps & Features window, which lists everything installed and will provide an Uninstall option.
If you used a zip package to 'install' Octave 4.0.3 just by unzipping it to a folder on your hard drive, then no uninstall process is necessary. you can just delete the folder and shortcuts manually.
You can have multiple octave versions installed next to each other, the folders will have version numbers to prevent them from overwriting themselves.
To install the latest version (5.1.0 as of this answer, although 5.2.0 will be released very soon):
You can find the installation files for Windows by going to the Octave download page and clicking 'Windows'. There will be several file options there. Most people choose the first one (octave-5.1.0-w64-installer.exe) for 64bit systems. You can just download that or one of the other .exe versions, execute that program, and follow the prompts. If for some reason you would rather download a zip package and do a manual setup, I suggest you follow the instructions at the Octave for Microsoft Windows Wiki page to make sure everything is configured correctly.

How to integrate findbugs 1.3.4 plugin with Myeclipse 8.0M1 offline

At my work place I don't have access to the internet, so I downloaded findbugs plugin version 1.3.4 (jar file) to integrate with Myeclipse version 8.0M1. I tried to integrate it by browsing the jar file from local archive but it is saying no repository found. I tried by copying the jar file to eclipse install directory in plug-in folder also but of no use.
Regardless of Lonzak's personal opinion, MyEclipse is still widely used but release 8 is very old and based on a very old release of eclipse.
However, it looks like you're using an incorrect method to install the plug-in, though you don't give exact steps. The error you mention indicates that the file you browsed to isn't a valid eclipse update site (assumed to be archived as a file, in this case). That seems right, if you've downloaded the plug-in from sourceforge.
Instead, extract the zip file to the dropins folder. In later releases of MyEclipse, the dropins folder would be in the installation folder for the profile (i.e. not the Common folder but the folder for the specific ME release, where the myeclipse.exe file is). I assume it is in the same place in release 8 but can't check.
I don't know which release of FindBugs is compatible with ME 8, so you're on your own there.

Compiling sqlite-winrt for using SQL in WinRT/WP app with SQLite

I'm trying to use the sqlite-winrt library at https://sqlwinrt.codeplex.com (cf. http://blogs.windows.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2013/05/30/sqlite-winrt-wrapper-for-windows-phone.aspx) because I need to access an SQLite database via SQL commands in a WinRT 8.1 and a WP8 app and this library seems the only available option.
Anyway, there is no binary release and if I try compiling the source I get several link errors for unresolved externals against the SQLite DLL. I posted an issue at codeplex but got no reply yet, so I was wondering if anyone had already managed to successfully compile this lib and how (or if you know of any viable alternative for RT8.1 and WP8). Here is what I did:
downloaded the latest source from the site.
downloaded and installed 2 VSIX from http://www.sqlite.org/download.html: sqlite-winrt81-3080002.vsix for RT 8.1 and sqlite-wp80-winrt-3080100.vsix for WP.
executed the powershell scripts in each subfolder of the source code solution, which are required to update the projects with newer releases of the SQLite for WinRT extension. The current versions of the scripts refer to SQLite for WinRT 8.1 (prerelease) which is the same I downloaded above.
opened the VS2013 solution and removed the RT project (I just need RT8.1 and WP, this was for WinRT 8.0).
5) built the solution, which failed with link errors.
If I see the RT8.1 project properties, I can confirm the reference to SQLite is under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1\ExtensionSDKs\SQLite.WinRT81\3.8.0.2.
Did anyone manage to use this lib? Thanks!
I also once had that problem. I fix it by editing the project file manually. At that time, the powershell script updating the wrong path. That's why I always failed when compiling my project. After I edit the project file using external text editor (I use sublime text), the projects are linked correctly.
You can try DatabasesCx. It is another SQLite Wrapper using Windows Runtime Component technology. It is freeware distributed as precompiled binary. You can find the details at http://www.almanacsoft.com/databasescx

Installing XpsDrv sample under the Windows XP

this article helped me to install "XpsDrv sample" under the Windows XP. But I'd like to ask if it's possible to automate step No. 6
As you go on, the wizard can ask you for some files it cannot find. But this should be no big trouble if you have SP3 or XPS Extension Pack installed.
If the wizard asks you for xdsmpl.gpd, click Browse and find this file in [sample root]\install\x86.
If it asks for xdwmark.dll, navigate to [sample root]\install\x86 as well.
For msxpsinc.gpd go to c:\windows\Driver cache\i386.
The xpssvcs.dll file should be found in c:\windows\system32.
I need to install XPS driver during the installation process of my App and it's not acceptable for my customer to find missing files manually...
The easiest way is copy the x86 folder and rename it to i386. Then find missing files (msxpsinc.gpd, xpssvcs.dll) and copy them to the [sample root]\install

binary files in wix install package

I can't figure it out: do the files which are referenced in the Binary element of .wxs file get copied to the target machine, or are they resources of the install package?
They are definitely the resources of the install package. This means that they don't get installed to your application folder, but Windows Installer is supposed to extract it internally to some temporary location to address the functionality in it. And it is supposed to clean after itself. But this is definitely not visible to the end users of your installation.
At least, this is how I understand it.
