Sorry about delay in replying. I'm on holidays in a place with patchy internet access. Yes, we do use a proxy internally and it has some pretty weird rules. I will have to get back to you about "user agent filtering on your firewall/reverse proxy?"

My issue reported on 9th July seems to have fallen through the cracks. Although DirectEdit is a "nice to have" feature, it's not mission-critical for us. I still can't get it working. Refer to the image in my previous post. Although the file *appears* to download to the %temp% folder it actually downloads as a zero-byte file. I wonder if the fact that we are using a self-signed certificate might contribute to the problem (server is still in testing). Or, perhaps might a Proxy Setting or local security setting/policy be getting in the way of downloading the files for editing? It's certainly not security access as most of the files tested are in my home folder. Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I've tried it on both MSIE (v11) and Chrome (v35.0.xxx) and had the same result. Thinking that our Group Policies might be affecting the application, I even tried it on the Windows XP machine that I keep salted away for testing :-) Still got the same result that is, DirectEdit appears to believe that it has downloaded the file but it's actually downloaded nothing. I've attached a screen shot (overlaid with directory listing) showing that there is a zero byte file in %temp% If you need more info, please ask... Thanks

I've also tried DirectEdit with my 10.1 installation. It installed and seemed to integrate with HAP OK. It started the application (MS Word) when I chose a document and right-clicked "DirectEdit", but it only showed a blank document. It's as if it hasn't downloaded the document to the application I've had a look at ~/MyFiles/DirectEdit.aspx and there doesn't seem to be anything that's configurable. I know I'm probably missing something but don't know what. Is there any documentation? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I think my problem was that I ran Setup.aspx (which created a new hapconfig.xml) and then copied bits from my old hapconfig.xml into it. There are definitely some syntax differences in the "mapping" section. If I'd not run Setup.aspx first, I guess that all would have gone properly. One example: Old syntax fro 8.1 that didn't work on 10.1 \\senior1\doco$ New syntax \\server1\doco$ Possible cause? 'enablemove="True"' seems to have been deprecated - it caused 10.1 to show script errors I guess that 10.1 might have "fixed" these script errors if running on a brand new system Thanks

We have been running HAP 8.1.1003.0 for a few years and, as we are upgrading all of our servers, I've just installed 10.1.420.1900 on a brand new server 2012. Everything went fine except when I directly edit hapconfig.xml, the whole system goes pear-shaped. I have a working hapconfig.xml in version 8.1 that I'd like to convert over to a version 10.1 compatible version. Is this possible? It would be a huge job to reconfigure the whole thing as we have drive mappings and group-specific stuff etc Thanks in advance

I ended up installing 8 in XP!! I then copied the files that Gamemaker stuck in my profile over to the "program Files" folder that it created and then stuck the lot onto a network share. I then set up a VBS script that copies that shared folder over to the target machine and a shortcut to the Public Users desktop. Created an SCCM deployment package that runs the VBS Script on demand... A bit complicated to set up but it works (and not as YoYo Games intended) but I can now concentrate on all the other "impossible to install" packages!

We are rolling out our software through SCCM 2012 and I've struck a problem with GameMaker version 8.1 (free version). I wonder if anyone else has faced this issue. Since (I think) version 8.1, GameMaker has insisted on installing itself into the installer's profile. This, of course, can be changed to c:\program files(x86) or whatever. However, only the executables end up in this new path. The main settings seem to end up in the installer's local profile. I've had no luck installing it as an application, even after packaging it in Ghost AI. I feel that it's because of all of the "personal" settings that it makes. Has anyone rolled out GameMaker v8.1 through SCCM 2012. If so, any tricks I should know about? Thanks

I have been attempting to set up some legacy applications to run in App-V on Windows 7 - been configuring using the v4.6 SP1 Sequencer and editing the OSD file as per these sites: . How to set Windows compatibility settings for App-V package, the easy way | Gridmetric Blog . OSD scripting primer | Gridmetric Blog The current application that I'm working on, PTC Desktop Pro, is unsupported by the manufacturer who released it in 2003 and basically says, "if you want to run it on Windows 7, run in compatibility mode, emulating Windows 2000!". Our Woodwork Teacher can't be without the product... So as per the instructions in the abovementioned urls, I edited my OSD settings, adding in: REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\PTC\ProDESKTOP 8.0\Program\ProD.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "WINXPSP2" I did get the App-V application to install and run as Administrator-Equiv, but, althjough it would install as an "ordinary user", it failed to run So I changed the OSD to include "RUNASADMIN" as follows, but that made no difference: REG.EXE ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers" /v "%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\PTC\ProDESKTOP 8.0\Program\ProD.exe" /t REG_SZ /d "WINXPSP2 RUNASADMIN" It seems that I'm half-way there. I can install the application. I can run it as Admin equivalent. I cannot run it as an ordinary User. I feel that rights are the issue but I just can't find anything in the Sequencer or the SCCM 2012 Configuration Manager Console. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I've a swag of these legacy applications to roll out Thanks

Yep, Looks good to me. Thanks for doing this. Will this feature (and the fix for zipping files) be in a future release? If so, I will hold off moving to installing them on my "production" system

I've given it a shot. Yes, it does sort in "Details" view although the "date sort" seems to be a text sort starting at character 1. Thus files for 1 January (of any year) are followed by files for 1 February etc (ie. 1/1/2009 then 1/1/2010 then 1/2/2009 then 1/2/2010). Hope this makes sense. Thanks

I can live with it. A student queried it. I can put a disclaimer in the "announcements".

Yep - worked a treat when zipping multiple files - thanks! After my success, I then went ahead and tried to Zip a folder which contained 9 files. The resultant Zip file was empty. Is zipping folders an intended feature or is it restricted to zipping files?

"would client side sorting be ok?" That would be fine. It's not the highest-priority requirement. Thanks

Don't know if this has ever been on the cards but would the ability to sort files based on name, size or date in "details" view ever be considered for future versions of HAP? Perhaps it's either not easily achieved or it might add to the overhead. It would be handy though... Thanks
