unable to run activeX control in IE - html

Im trying to embed some application in IE by creating activeX control. I've got xyz.dll. Normally if I register this dll through command prompt(batch file), the embedding is successful. But if i use the cab file methodolgy, only the first snapshot of application loads in IE(embedded application fails to run) inspite of the fact that registration of dll is taking place.
xyz.cab file contains, xyz.dll and xyz.inf.
The xyz.inf is as following:
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0
[Add.Code]
xyz.dll=xyz.dll
[Deployment]
InstallScope=user|machine
[xyz.dll]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
clsid={HJI9D4D39-K9F5-489B-8032-CCHB1B189J10}
FileVersion=1,0,0,0
RegisterServer=yes
RedirectToHKCU=yes
HRESULT IEInstallScope(LPDWORD pwdScope);
I'm making cab file through makecab.exe and im signing cab file too with signtool.exe and makecert technique and finally the excerpt from the html is as following:
...
CLASSID="clsid:HJI9D4D39-K9F5-489B-8032-CCHB1B189J10"
CODEBASE="C:\xyz\13\plugins\ie\xyz.cab#Version="1,0,0,0"
...
So i dont know why Im facing this problem.The reason may be because thers something Im mistaking inside inf file or I dont know the exact usage of "HRESULT IEInstallScope(LPDWORD pwdScope); "or is it associated with dll????
please help me!!!!!!
EDIT:::well this worked out for me, but i still dont know why registerserver=yes fails to embedd activex perfectly::
new inf file is as following:
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0
[Add.Code]
xyz.dll=xyz.dll
[Deployment]
InstallScope=user|machine
[Setup Hooks]
xcxc=xcxc
xcxc1=xcxc1
[xyz.dll]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
clsid={HJI9D4D39-K9F5-489B-8032-CCHB1B189J10}
FileVersion=13,0,0,0
RegisterServer=yes
RedirectToHKCU=yes
HRESULT IEInstallScope(LPDWORD pwdScope);
[regDll]
hook=xcxc
[xcxc]
run=C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe "C:\xyz\13\plugins\ie\xyz.dll"
[abcDll]
hook=xcxc1
[xcxc1]
run=C:\Windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe /u /s "C:\xyz\13\plugins\ie\xyz.dll"

Error uploading app to Windows Store with WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo.xml file

We have referred to this MSDN article for help on locking down the hardware buttons on our device.
The article is pretty straightforward and I managed to generate a prov.xml file with the help of our manufacture however when we try and upload our app to the Windows Store we get the following error:
Package acceptance validation error: File WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo.xml is invalid: The 'Id' attribute is invalid - The value 'ID_CAP_ENTERPRISE_SHARED_DATA' is invalid according to its datatype 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/phone/2013/windowsphonereservedappinfo:ST_SoftwareCapability' - The Enumeration constraint failed.
I would have thought we would be required to include the WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo.xml as described in the article above so that when we download the app we can lockdown the hardware buttons.
It's worth noting that if you don't have this file and attempt to lockdown you get the following error:
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
For anyone interested in the code that does the lockdown here it is (although the code works I just thought I would try and give a bit of context):
Dim _GUID As Guid = Windows.Embedded.DeviceLockdown.DeviceLockdownProfile.GetCurrentLockdownProfile()
If Windows.Embedded.DeviceLockdown.DeviceLockdownProfile.GetLockdownProfileInformation(_GUID).Name <> "Associate" Then
For Each G As Guid In Windows.Embedded.DeviceLockdown.DeviceLockdownProfile.GetSupportedLockdownProfiles()
If (Windows.Embedded.DeviceLockdown.DeviceLockdownProfile.GetLockdownProfileInformation(G).Name.Equals("Associate", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)) Then
Await Windows.Embedded.DeviceLockdown.DeviceLockdownProfile.ApplyLockdownProfileAsync(G)
End If
Next
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
We use the role Associate in the prov.xml file. The prov.xml file does lockdown the device as we want it too and that only works if we have the WindowsPhoneReservedAppInfo.xml file as described in the MSDN article so I can't understand why we can't upload to the Windows Store.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I should be uploading our app to the Windows Store?
I've spoken with our manufacturer and they have said this:
I have a strong feeling this cannot be used in a store app due to Microsoft rules…. So it looks like you can only use this in an Enterprise signed application (Which you then side load onto the device or download using a MDM).
That being the case I will have to look into MDM.

Extracting the outputs/results from an executed .pexe file

My goal is to convert a C++ program in to a .pexe file in order to execute it later on a remote computer. The .pexe file will contain some mathematical formulas or functions to be calculated on a remote computer, so I’ll be basically using the computational power of the remote computer. For all this I’ll be using the nacl_sdk with the Pepper library and I will be grateful if someone could clarify some things for me:
Is it possible to save the outputs of the executed .pexe file on the remote computer in to a file, if it’s possible then how? Which file formats are supported?
Is it possible to send the outputs of the executed .pexe file on the remote computer automatically to the host computer, if it’s possible then how?
Do I have to install anything for that to work on the remote computer?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
From what I've tried it seems like you can't capture the stuff that your pexe writes to stdout - it just goes to the stdout of the browser (it took me hours to realize that it does go somewhere - I followed a bad tutorial that had me believe the pexes stdout was going to be posted to the javascript side and was wondering why it "did nothing").
I currently work on porting my stuff to .pexe also, and it turned out to be quite simple, but that has to do with the way I write my programs:
I write my (C++) programs such that all code-parts read inputs only from an std::istream object and write their outputs to some std::ostream object. Then I just pass std::cin and std::cout to the top-level call and can use the program interactively in the shell. But then I can easily swap out the top-level call to use an std::ifstream and std::ofstream to use the program for batch-processing (without pipes from cat and redirecting to files, which can be troublesome under some circumstances).
Since I write my programs like that, I can just implement the message handler like
class foo : public pp::Instance {
... ctor, dtor,...
virtual void HandleMessage(const pp::Var& msg) override {
std::stringstream i, o;
i << msg.AsString();
toplevelCall(i,o);
PostMessage(o.str());
}
};
so the data I get from the browser is put into a stringstream, which the rest of the code can use for inputs. It gets another stringstream where the rest of the code can write its outputs to. And then I just send that output back to the browser. (Downside is you have to wait for the program to finish before you get to see the result - you could derive a class from ostream and have the << operator post to the browser directly... nacl should come with a class that does that - I don't know if it actually does...)
On the html/js side, you can then have a textarea and a pre (which I like to call stdin and stdout ;-) ) and a button which posts the content of the textarea to the pexe - And have an eventhandler that writes the messages from the pexe to the pre like this
<embed id='pnacl' type='application/x-pnacl' src='manifest.nmf' width='0' height='0'/>
<textarea id="stdin">Type your input here...</textarea>
<pre id='stdout' width='80' height='25'></pre>
<script>
var pnacl = document.getElementById('pnacl');
var stdout = document.getElementById('stdout');
var stdin = document.getElementById('stdin');
pnacl.addEventListener('message', function(ev){stdout.textContent += ev.data;});
</script>
<button onclick="pnacl.postMessage(stdin.value);">Submit</button>
Congratulations! Your program now runs in the browser!
I am not through with porting my compilers, but it seems like this would even work for stuff that uses flex & bison (you only have to copy FlexLexer.h to the include directory of the pnacl sdk and ignore the warnings about the "register" storage location specifier :-)
Are you using the .pexe in a browser? That's the usual case.
I recommend using nacl_io to emulate POSIX in the browser (also look at file_io. This will allow you to save files locally, retrieve them, in any format you fancy.
To send the output use the browser's usual capabilities such as XMLHttpRequest. You need PNaCl to talk to JavaScript for this, you may want to look at some of the examples.
A regular web server will do, it really depends on what you're doing.

Getting AIR stacktraces in ipad for release build [duplicate]

I'm trying to debug an issue on a clients machine. The problem is that the problem is a runtime error with very little clue as to where it is. It is an intermittent problem. I know ADL allows me to run the application in a debug mode. The problem is that to tell the user to download and manage the ADL invokation is going to be very difficult. It would be a lot easier if I could just give the end user one install/executable to install and run and then send me the trace of the issue. So what I'm looking for is easy steps for the client to be able to run the AIR app in debug mode. Downloading ADL and finding the install location of the app is going to be difficult to manage remotely with the end user.
Update:
You have to make sure you are working with AIR 3.5 and Flash 11.5 and also include the following flag "-swf-version=18" in additional compiler settings. You then have to catch the global error as mentioned in the answer and it will show you the location of the error. No line numbers of course. Just routine names. Thanks a milion to Lee for the awsome answer.
not a direct answer but if you publish for AIR3.5 (or 3.6 beta), you can get some debug info:
add a listener for uncaught RTEs to top level of your app:
this.loaderInfo.uncaughtErrorEvents.addEventListener(UncaughtErrorEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR, globalErrorHandler);
and grab debug info from error in listener:
function globalErrorHandler(event:UncaughtErrorEvent):void
{
var message:String;
//check for runtime error
if (event.error is Error)
message = (event.error as Error).getStackTrace();
//handle other errors
else if (event.error is ErrorEvent)
message = (event.error as ErrorEvent).text;
else
message = event.error.toString();
//do something with message (eg display it in textfield)
myTextfield.text = message;
}
getStackTrace will return a stack trace even for release AIR apps (as long as you use AIR3.5 or above).
Without the SDK Tools; I don't think it is possible to run an aIR app in debug mode. But, here are a few alternatives to consider:
The client must have some idea what is going on to cause the error, right? Can you give them a special build with Alert Boxes or logging or something to help isolate the error to a line of code?
Can you listen for the uncaughtException event? The event will give you the full stack trace ( Error.getStackTrace() ); which you could then log--possibly with other information. Then you just have to tell your client to "Go here" and "send me this file." Or even display the info in some Alert and have the user copy and paste it into an email to you. More info on uncaughtException here and here
check my post. Maybe it helps you to get stack trace with line numbers in a AIR release build.
How can I get stacktrace for Adobe AIR global runtime errors in non-debug mode?
I use it in 2 big projects right now and it works very well.

$m->comp is returning infinite recursive call error

I am having trouble using HTML::Mason's $m->comp to redirect from one view to another.
There is a file say file1.mi which has embedded HTML code in this file1.mi I am using $m->comp to redirect to file2.mi.
But in the webpage whenever file1.mi is loaded it prints the footer multiple times and in the logs i am getting the errors
Nested page framework application dispatch detected, this usage is not
fully supported and may result in unexpected behavior
and
Error: APPLICATION CONTEXT ERROR (RENDER): 32 levels deep in component
stack (infinite recursive call?)
. Here is the script which i am using for redirecting from file1.mi
return $m->comp('/page-framework/dispatch.mi', applicationPath =>'/gp/tradein/omc', viewID => 'file2.mi', %ARGS);
I am using this script in file1.mi before it renders the webpage -- i.e. before any HTML scripts are executed.
I am kinda new to Mason, if you have queries regarding this please go ahead.
It looks like that your file1.mi gets loaded and rendered, then file2.mi gets executed and it in infinite loop.
Please, show us more code, it is not possible to debug with that small details.
What do you in the web server logs? Please, paste some example from loglines too.
Regards,
It should be your dispatcher dispatch.mi that is calling file1 or file2. Deciding that you want to go elsewhere after the request has already been dispatched seems like the logic is in the wrong place.
