We have need to install Eclipse on a network-isolated (on purpose) Windows machine. We can transfer files by USB, so we can physically put the Eclipse installer executable on the machine.
There is already a JDK (1.8) on the machine.
Question is, will just the installer be sufficient? Does it try to "reach out" for additional web resources?
Yes, it does require an active connection. If that's not possible, consider one of the packages at https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages .

I'm running on Windows 7 and I want to be able to access the remote linux server at my school to run eclipse and do my programming assignments.
I installed cygwin, and ssh into the server, but whenever I run the "eclipse" command, it says "Eclipse: Cannot open display".
Is there any additional software I need to do, or commands I need to run in order to display the gui from my windows 7 computer?
aside from just running eclipse on my own computer, I want to do it remotely.
thank you
You need to:
Run an X server on your Windows machine; there's an xorg-server package in cygwin, use that (or the independent Xming).
Configure your ssh client to forward X11 traffic to the X server on your windows machine.
Here's a more detailed tutorial on doing this.
I have created an application in C# that relies on a specific driver (a custom virtual hid driver based on VMulti).
Currently, I have everything working and I want to combine both the application and driver into one installation package. As of right now, my application part has a .exe file and a .dll file. My driver has an .inf and .sys file, hidkmdf.sys, and WdfCoInstaller01009.dll (this dll is from the WDK). I am not able to install the driver through the traditional method of right-clicking the inf and clicking install. Instead, I use devcon to install it (command is "install inffile.inf hardwareid")
I tried using InstallShield LE, but I am only able to install the application, not the driver. After doing some searching, I found people using DIFxAPP to create the installation framework for drivers, however, I am not sure if this can be integrated into InstallShield so that the driver is installed during the application installation process.
So my main question is: What is the best and simplest method for combining application and driver installation into one package (meaning the setup.exe will install both the driver and the application)?
I am very new to driver development and application deployment, so any suggestions are welcome.
Thank You
EDIT: It is preferred that the solution does not require any paid tools.
Acctually, exists a many ways to implement this which depends on your Windows Installers skills.
You didn't specify target OSes for your application, that's why can I give you some ways:
PnpUtil.exe internal Windows 7 utility (only for Windows 7)
DPInst.exe included to WDK
DifXAPI merge module.
You can install drivers with help of all these utils via Custom Actions.
NOTE: That your driver SHOULD BE signed, otherwise you will receive error during silent installation.
My Clearcase Version: 7.1.0 .
My os is windows 7, after I installed Clearcase. I couldn't create a dynamic view by using Create View.And I found that when i start clearcase service from control panel, there is only two service.
Is there any ways to correct this problem except to download a higher version.
ClearCase 7.1.2 is deployed on our Windows 7 at work.
However, when I see that there is only two services, that means MVFS (which is a device, not a driver) has failed to install properly.
The usual fix is to uninstall and reinstall ClearCase.
But there is no guarantee for 7.1.0.
The OP adds:
I have reinstall it three times, but the problem still exists
That confirms 7.1.0 is not supported (at least for the dynamic views part) on Windows 7.
As "System Requirements for ClearCase 7.1.x" confirms, Windows7 SP1 actually needs 7.1.2.3 at minimum.
And even then, you can have some issue: " PM54437: Windows 7 64bit MVFS clients flood albd_server of the View Server host with ALBD_FIND_SERVER RPCs" (which needs 7.1.2.6)
So getting the latest 7.1.x is recommended.
In your case though, since it isn't possible to get a version above 7.1.0, you can try and install a Virtual PC Windows Xp on your Windows 7.
Microsoft Virtual PC for Windows (formerly Connectix Virtual PC) is a client based software virtualization application that allows simultaneous operating systems to run on a single PC.
Each virtual machine emulates a complete hardware system—from processor to network card—in a self-contained, isolated software environment, enabling the simultaneous operation of otherwise incompatible systems.
ClearCase does support Virtual PC.
I have terminal access to an AIX machine using ssh/telnet (No root access). I need to develop programs using C and compile it using the xlc compiler. Currently I can open remote files in eclipse(Juno) using RSE and edit files, but code-completion and error checking won't work. Can anyone please, help me to setup eclipse, so that code-completion would work and also, I would be able to compile the code from my Windows machine. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

How to build a c++ project on a remote computer in Eclipse?
Somewhat similar. If you look at the 3rd answer.
Also you could try X11 Forwarding -

Instead of trying to setup Eclipse and CDT to do remote development, you may want to consider purchasing IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software (RDP), which is an Eclipse-based remote development environment that allows for C and C++ (and COBOL) application development on AIX from a Windows or Linux system. More information can be found here.
We have a large application that has been developed over 15 years and in installed in 200+ client locations. The application currently consists of an Access database and a bunch of executable and report files located on a network share. A Setup.EXE file is run on each client machine (dlls are installed on the client) and then the client machines run the executables directly from the network share. During our upgrade procedure the new executable and report files are copied to the network share and that way each client gets the update immediately.
Our current installation program is very old and, among other things, it doesn't handle x64 so we are in the process of moving to a new deployment tool. At the same time we are migrating client Access databases to SQL Server. I am having difficulty finding a deployment tool to do what we require. Specifically we need the install/upgrade file to do the following:
It must be able to be run from a client machine on a network and copy the new executable and report files to the network share. That share could be a Linux box or a dumb storage device.
Accept a password before running the installation
Allow the user to select the network share as the location to copy the executables
It must NOT add anything to the client machine from where the package is run (Add/Remove Programs, registry, etc.)
Connect to a SQL Server database and run a script
The install/upgrade must be contained in a single, standalone .msi or .exe file. (no dependencies on dlls or frameworks other than those that come with Windows XP)
The file must be able to be run in one simple step. It is the end user that runs the upgrade without our support and without involvement from IT.
It looks like the closest thing to what I need is WiX but the problem there is that whenever the .msi file is run from a client, the client machine thinks that a program is being installed so it allows the client machine to uninstall the product, which is not acceptable.
If the product were written today it would certainly be architected differently but it currently is what it is and we can’t change that. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
WiX is just a toolset built on top of Windows Installer technology. It makes many things easier and simpler as well as hides lots of Windows Installer weird features... But, it is still limited by Windows Installer, its underlying technology.
Your list of requirements made me think that Windows Installer is not the right technology to choose. I would assume that you'll spend more time on workarounds, than on functional code... But I have no experience with other installation technologies, so I'll leave those recommendations to others.
