I'm developing a sample to create event log using ETW (Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.*) on .NET 4.5
Code compiled good, and I can get the manifest file generated, and manually install it through wevtutil
But when testing invoke the log, there's no event logs created in event viewer. Even my custom ETW tree isn't showing.
I merely named my customer EventSource like "ABC", does it matter?
If I try to reinstall the manifest file, it prompt me that's already installed.
How to troubleshoot this?
nvm, I just need to open a new event viewer window, and it's showing good there.

I am testing E-BS with OATS. I am able to record all the web objects and the oracle form is also opened. But OpenScript is unable to identify Applet and any Oracle Forms object. Also, i have noticed while recording my Config Recorder show Applet Recorder status as ‘Starting’ and it never changes to ‘Running’.
Issue Resolved.
Solution-
Open Java control panel - Security tab, add file:/C:/ in Exception Site list.
Then record again
Run openscript as administrator.
It's solves the issue.
Recently, I was assigned the task to create a deployment package for an application which btw, I'm totally new at. So far, so good.. Now there is a requirement to extract files from a zip file which will be bundled with the setup file. So, I had to write custom actions in the 'Commit' section of the Installer class. I added the Installer class in a new project of type 'Class Library' under the same solution. I wrote the code after 'base.Commit(savedState)'.
I tried showing MessageBox at the event entry point, used Debugger.Launch(), Debugger.Break() but somehow, no matter what I do, it seems that the custom action is not willing to be hit at all and the application just installs itself. I searched a lot of sites and blogs but no help so far.
I've assigned my installer class (SampleApp.exe, in my case) to all the Custom Action's modes (Install, Commit, Rollback and Uninstall) in the Deployment project. Any help.
P.S. I'm using a Visual Studio 2010 setup project.
Thanks, in advance!
You should probably be trying a class library Dll, not an executable (which is typically for something like a service).
You don't need it all the nodes if all you're doing is calling at Commit. And why Commit? Install is just the same in most cases.
If you're not seeing a MessageBox then probably your CA isn't being called, and that may because it's not a class library. Note that your CA is not running in the interactive user context - it's being called from an msiexec process running with the system account, so you must be very explicit about (say) the path to the zip file, and any user profile folders will probably fail because the system account doesn't really have them.
What files are these and where are they going on disk? If they are user profile files you can install the zip files to a per machine location and then have the application itself unzip the files to the desired location on first launch. Unzipping from within your setup is not good practice - it is error prone and bad design.
Using the application allows proper exception handling and interactivity (the user can be informed if something goes wrong). Set some registry flags in HKCU when you have completed the unzipping so it doesn't happen more than once, and perform the unzip once per user.
I'm trying out MassTransit. I wrote a small console application as showed in documentation (http://docs.masstransit-project.com/en/latest/configuration/quickstart.html).
What I first ran the app, it opened another console windows, and did something that looked like an installation proccess, or some kind of file copy. I remember seeing something done in the windows directory, but it was too fast to read and understand what exactly it did.
I couldn't find any information about it. I tried starting a new .NET project and running the same code - it did not repeat.
Does MassTransit install something on the system at first run? does someone knows what exactly happens on first tun?
Thanks
I've written a post explaining how to get a quick hello world Mass Transit application up and running.
It uses RabbitMQ, but the same principles apply to MSMQ.
http://nodogmablog.bryanhogan.net/2015/04/mass-transit-with-rabbitmq-hello-world/
If you included the call to the method VerifyMsmqConfiguration() as in the quick start, then MassTransit initates any required MSMQ component installation.
The required MSMQ components are Core, LocalStorage, and Multicast.
I've tried to create a service that calls the update application configured in the project. Therefore I used the "silent version check" template for the update process and modified the ServiceDemo.class from the sample to start the update application.
ApplicationLauncher.launchApplication("2529", null, true, null);
But everytime I tried to install or start the service manually or with the command line executor nothing happened.
With the following command line call the updater starts:
java -cp classes;.install4j\i4jruntime.jar install4j.sample.service.ServiceDemo
Is it necessary to add the i4jruntime.jar to the classpath or is it bundle with the exe-file? But I can't see anything like that for the greetings-example. Has anybody an opening for me how to create such a service?
I am using version 5.1.5.
Thanks in advance

Generally, you cannot use a service to display a GUI. The updater would work if you run it in unattended more (with the -q flag).
To check what happens, redirect the output to a file ("Executable info->Redirection" in the launcher wizard). Also, the updater writes a log file to the temp directory that is deleted after successful completion. To keep the log file, start the updater with -Dinstall4j.keepLog=true.
You never have to add i4jruntime.jar to launchers that are generated by install4j. That JAR file is added automatically to the class path.
I'm currently working on an shared library based on mono, where I want to put as much business logic of my app as possible.
I used this helpful tutorial.
I managed putting the whole logic for rest-requests in this shared library, but now I'm stuck with soap.
I used the wsdl command of mono to generate Client Stubcode from my wsdl (as described here http://www.mono-project.com/Web_Services).
When I put the generated class to my C# library, which is the root project of my shared library, there is a warning that the Reference to System.Web.Services cannot be found.
So I included the System.Web.Services.dll manually.
For the Android Library Project I added a Reference to ...\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\MonoAndroid\v1.0\System.Web.Services.dll. It compiles without warnings.
But now it comes to the Windows Phone Library Project.
There is no System.Web.Services.dll for WP 7.5, right? I tried with the Mono-Touch dll but it gives me a lot compilation Errors.
Someone knows how I can get out of this?
I actually had some issues with the generated WSDL myself. Turns out that the classes that were generated through the "Create Web Reference" piece of Visual Studio inside of a Mono for Android project ended up causing some big issues when connected to a WCF Web Service. Not sure where I ran into this information, but this is what I ended up doing.
What you need to do is manually create a Service Reference using the SILVERLIGHT SVCUtil.
On my development system it was located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v3.0\Tools
I called it with the below command line:
slsvcutil.exe http://localhost/<path to WCF service endpoint>/service.svc /directory:"<temp directory to store generated cs file>" /noConfig /namespace:"*,<Full namespace of the generated class>"
That will actually generate a CS file that is saved into the path specified by the /directory tag above. Copy that generated cs file to your project directory and then include it in the project.
The problem that I was having that forced me to look for another option was that I was able to pull the data properly using the WSDL generated through the "Add Web Reference" option in Visual Studio, but as soon as I tried to pass the data back up the wire to the web service, everything blew up. Using the Service Reference generated by the Silverlight Service Util actually generated all the code properly for Async operations and after learning how to properly manage those Async operations everything works like a dream.
Since you are generating this new WSDL using the Silverlight Utility, it should work just fine through Windows Phone 7. I believe that the DLL to reference for all of this is the System.ServiceModel dll.
I wish I could remember where I ran across this information, as I would like to give the original author credit, but unfortunately, I don't recall that.
Hope that helps out!
