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

We are running 8.1 and if I select multiple files (eg. MS Word .DOC files) and choose "zip", HAP only places the first-selected file in the zip. I made the changes above to default.aspx but it made no change. No error is displayed but as it is "zipping", the HAP dialog box says "undefined 1 of 3 items" (if I choose 3 files and zip them). Only the first-selected file makes it into the zip Thanks

I connect with both iPad and Mac Mini. I've not had any problems. Seeing its a certificate error, might it be lack of HTTPS in URL or maybe the users browser or browser version or settings? I usually find that Safari is more reliable on Apple devices than Chrome, Firefox etc.... Especially with HAP Hope this helps

There is another way without using SQL at all. If you look in inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1, you will find a heap of log files with names like "u_ex120820.log". These files contain all access (except upload) for HAP and a new file is created each day at GMT midnight. I wrote a quick and (very) nasty VBS Script which looks through the file after it's been rolled over and separates out records that contain: . "GET /hap/ - 443" - these are "login" records . "GET /hap/Download" - these are "download" records I then output a few fields (eg. User ID, Date/Time, IP Address) to separate "login" and "download" log files and, hey presto! There's my logs. I actually go a bit further and extract data for the previous 30 days within my script and... convert the time to our timezone (Australian ESST) using a VBS Function that I found on the Internet. It took me only and hour or so to write the script Hope this helps

Sorry, I'd made the change on my test environment and was testing on the production one. Yes it works but I can't work out how to use it. Is there a video? In any case, I'm not sure if this solution might fit our need, which is a procedure that we've had in place for many years. That is, for a student to be able drag files onto a folder that they only have "write" access to Thank you

Copied the files and ran it. When I ran MyFiles/Homework.aspx, this is what I got.

Replaced the two files in the zip and updated ~/app_localresources/en-gb/strings.xml I then ran ~/MyFiles/Homework.aspx. It started up OK and I selected "New". I then added some test and as I chose a few students, up popped the message "Index was out of range...." See attached file homework01.png Logged in as a teacher and ran it (had previously ran with admin account). Didn't chose "additional teacher" and when I clicked on "save", I got "Not Found" (see attached homework02.jpg) Also changed the "path" to match a local path, without any success I was running Firebug but nothing changed as I ran it. Perhaps I've done something wrong

I've looked at the homework.aspx file but I've no idea how to interpret it. Will documentation be available in the future? Thanks

We have a requirement that I don't think can be fulfilled via HAP.... but I'd HAPpy if I could be proved wrong - and so would teachers and students We have a "dropbox" folder structure where students can drop files (completed assignments etc) into a teacher's folder using Windows Explorer but cannot actually open the folder. The students have "write" rights but not "read" rights to each teacher's Dropbox. The structure goes something like this Dropbox (students have read rights) |- Mr Smith (students can only write) |- Mrs Jones (students can only write) -_ etc, etc It'd be good if students could open the top level folder (Dropbox) in HAP, displaying the teachers' folders and then drag their file(s) to the appropriate teacher's folder, just like they do when on the school network. In HAP, they can see the teachers' folders but attempts to drag and drop don't work. Presumably you must have a folder open to drag and drop into it If they try to "Open" a teacher's folder, they get a message similar to the following, which is to be expected: "Access to the path '\\server\dropbox$\Monsieur-Dowling-Yr-7-French\' is denied". Here's the entry from hapconfig.xml: \\server\dropbox$ Is there some way we might to be able achieve this? Thanks (In case you need to know, Our HAP is v8.1)

At the top rhs of MyFiles is a "Got an issue" link which brings up a box that directs users to the Codeplex site. This is fine except you don't want to get a random message from every bored student at our school (or from every teacher who accidentally clicks on the link). We'd prefer to channel all HAP issues via our Tech Support Helpdesk. I was able to delete the link from the page by deleting the line "Got an Issue?" from Default.aspx. However I think it'd be better if we could actually keep the link but change the action to send an email to our Helpdesk. Can this be done? Thanks

Resolved! Copied entire contents of new ZIP file for HAP+ Web v8.1.1003.0000 to my test server (with the exception of hapconfig.xml), ran setup.aspx and copy/move now working. I suppose that I must have had something else in there that was causing problems. Now all I've got to do is reinstate colour scheme, customised icons and Announcements :-( Thanks for your help Nick.
