Smart UAC is a clever program developed by Security Stronghold company which automatically replaces UAC (User Account Control) from Windows Vista with a much more powerful and intellectual one.

Unlike standard UAC, Smart UAC Replacement will not disturb you with numerous alerts of the good programs you use everyday over and over again. Smart UAC remembers your choice for a given program and will allow or deny it automatically unless you haven't changed your mind or unless the program's executable has changed.

The second great thing about Smart UAC is that it has a large and regularly updated database of more than 400,000 known threats including viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, keyloggers, privacy breakers and even rootkits. Smart UAC will scan each run program and automatically determine in milliseconds if it is...

During an installation, you might want to remove existing files from the destination machine. One reason to do this is to save disk space. Another reason is to avoid possible file conflicts between a previous installation and a new installation. This clean up helps prevent errors during installation.

To set up your installation to remove an existing file (such as c:\Program Files\myfile.txt) from the destination machine, follow these steps:

Create or open an installation in Wise for Windows Installer (e.g. WinZip.wsi)

  1. Go to the Components tab in Setup Editor.
  2. Add an empty component by right-clicking the Components icon and selecting New > Component
  3. In the Component Details dialog box, enter a name, such as ABC, in the Component field....

OpenedFilesView displays the list of all opened files on your system. For each opened file, additional information is displayed: handle value, read/write/delete access, file position, the process that opened the file, and more...
Optionally, you can also close one or more opened files, or close the process that opened these files.

This utility is especially useful if you try to delete/move/open a file and you get one of the following error messages:

  1. Cannot delete [filename]: There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use.
  2. Cannot delete [filename]: It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.

When you get one of these error messages, OpenedFilesView will show you which...

In testing the Symantec Endpoint Protection Integration Component, I noticed that the default uninstall.js provided for the new client does not uninstall live update. This causes issues if you install the client and later need to uninstall/reinstall it. A silent reinstall of the client will fail unless live update is manually removed.

Resolution:

Add the following section to the uninstall.js after the //uninstall the SEP client section

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
//uninstall Live Update else reinstall will not work
var lupLocation = "c:/Progra~1/Symantec/LiveUpdate/Lsetup.exe";
shell.Run( lupLocation + " /u /q", 0, true );
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hope this helps!

In addition to ErikW's article: Wise Package Studio, Part 11: Testing Our Packages I am attaching two examples that I created which can be used as 'sign off' documents of tested Application(s).

The UAT (User Acceptance Testing) form is to be filled out by the user who test the application. This is to make sure the user doesn't forget to test anything. He/She can sign off of the steps.

The QA/Peer review form is to be filled out by a fellow packager. We are all human, therefor we make mistakes or maybe there is something we did or didn't do and didn't know. Your fellow packager can point this out to you and you'll keep learning and to assure the packages that are going to be deployed are stable.

There are many more options that can be added to these forms, depending on...

Creating new default setting for the AClient and resetting all the clients to the new default

First let's change the default settings. Open a Deployment console and go to Tools - Options and the Agent Settings Tab. Select the Change Default Settings button. This looks just like the agent settings for the client. Modify it to fit your needs.

Changing the settings for current clients

In the Deployment console go to Tools - Remote Agent Installer. You can either specify a Password later or just use one. The username and password does not have to be correct because this information is not needed for what we are doing. Click Next.

This is where we want to change the agent settings to match our Defaults. Click Change Settings and change the settings to what the...
