The "All in One Runtimes" package bundles all important runtime packages that are necessary to ensure that all programs will work smoothly and it will installs them automatically also. The installer also detects already installed runtimes to avoid reinstallation. System dependencies are checked automatically. For example, the .NET Framework 4.6 will be installed on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 - on Windows 10 it won't.
Many software applications, Internet browsers, and multimedia programs require specific runtime environments to function correctly. Utilizing these runtimes ensures proper operation and access to various features within these programs. A practical solution to the cumbersome process of manually installing and updating various runtimes and plugins is the "All in One Runtimes" package by Sereby.
This software streamlines the installation of current runtime environments, allowing users to efficiently set up necessary components like the .NET Framework, Java Runtime Environment, DirectX, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual J, Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player (optimized for Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer), and Shockwave Player (specifically for Internet Explorer). This package also aims to integrate hotfixes to include the latest updates whenever possible, enhancing security and functionality.
Please note: The inclusion of some packages in the All in One Runtimes may no longer be necessary and some may be technically outdated. You should carefully consider your needs for these runtimes to avoid causing unnecessary issues.

After working with sybase anywhere with Powerbuilder for 20 years, I am for the first time doing an actual deployment and running into many issues. Here is the latest. After following all the instructions on files to deploy, when I create an ODBC profile on the deployment machine and close with automatic start I get the message:
Although it was not mentioned in the documentation, I found under SQL ANywhere 11, in my development machine, "license.txt" . I placed it in my runtime directory on the deployment machine, but still get the same message.
I am using SQL Anywhere 11 that came bundled with Powerbuilder 11.5 desktop. I was assure on purchase that I could distribute runtimes as long as I did not use stored procedures or triggers. "license.txt" says much the same thing.
Volker,You are correct. I just did a search for *.lic and found four of them. Once I added these to my deployment folder, I was able to run DBISQL and do querys successfully. I still am not successfullly linking up to the powerbuilder executable. I will ost that issue to the Powerbuilder forum.

This software facilitates a consolidated installation process, allowing users to seamlessly deploy current runtime environments encompassing .NET Framework, Java Runtime Environment, DirectX, Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual J, Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player (optimized for Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer), and Shockwave Player (specifically for Internet Explorer), along with other essential runtime files. The package endeavors to incorporate hotfixes, ensuring the inclusion of the latest updates whenever possible.
Please note: The package included might be no longer needed and some of them are technically outdated. You should have a good reason for installing them so as not to cause unnecessary problems.
Caution! Flash is not secure: The included Adobe Flash Player for the Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer browsers as well as the Adobe Shockwave Player as a plug-in for Internet Explorer are known to have security problems and are no longer maintained by the developers. In addition, Flash is only required in very rare cases, because websites today use modern technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript to display interactive content. Normal surfers can therefore safely avoid installing these two runtime environments.
The AiO Runtimes package provides a user-friendly installer that allows you to selectively install the required runtimes, with the ability to detect and avoid reinstalling existing ones. This automatic checking extends to system dependencies; for instance, .NET Framework 4.6 will be installed on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, but not on Windows 10.
Runtimes and frameworks constitute crucial elements within any programming language, serving as essential components for program execution on an operating system.
To illustrate, executing a Java application necessitates the presence of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), while running a VC++ program requires a specific VC++ Runtime environment.
Popular runtimes include Visual C++ redistributables, allowing the execution of programs developed in VC++, the .NET Framework essential for Visual Studio .NET Framework-created programs, and the Java Runtime Environment for running Java-built programs.
In addition to these widely used runtimes, there exist less prevalent ones such as Flash Player, the now-retired Microsoft Silverlight, DirectX, and Adobe Shockwave Player.
Ok, so here's the guide that so many have asked me to write. It's not quite the secret recipe for Coke but I have had numerous requests for it. Understand this first before anything else: I am not an expert when it comes to InstallShield AdminStudio, 7-Zip, WinRAR, Resource Hacker, or the Microsoft Installer (.msi) technologies. Sure, I know enough to get by and to get accomplished what I set out to do, but a lot of times I know what to do because I experimented long enough to figure it out. This is not to be confused with my knowing how or why it all works, particularly the nitty gritty details. Sometimes I "just know" and you'll just have to take my word for it - or not, it's up to you.
This guide was written based on my experience with VMware Workstation and Installshield's AdminStudio Version 6. I am almost totally unfamiliar with VirtualPC and Wise Package Studio, but I'm sure you could translate a good portion of this guide to those products. You will notice a lack of screenshots. I'll try to get some put together and will edit the guide when I do.
I am going to try my best to include enough detail so that even a relative beginner can substantially benefit from this. On the one hand you will need to have at least some basic knowledge of what it is we do here at MSFN. If you have never heard of svcpack.inf or have no idea as to it's purpose then read no further. You need to go to the MSFN Unattended Install Guide and take in some of the basics. If you are of intermediate level, then there's the possibility you're going to be seeing a whole of stuff here that you've known for a while already.
First things first. You need to get everything setup and ready to start repackaging. The idea here is get everything setup in such a way that you spend as little time and effort as possible on the background chores, maximizing your efforts at the repackaging itself. Repacking applications is not a very difficult thing to do most of the time, but it almost always is a lot of repitive and boring work. Oh, and throw in a lot of waiting for things to happen too. To start out with you will want to set up a virtual machine that's configured especially for our purpose.
RunHiddenConsole.exe is my preferred choice of bootstrap for launching .msi installs. It's the smallest I've seen and it's never done me wrong. Feel free to use msistub.exe if you like. I know others use it (including Macromedia among others) and it seems to work for them.
And finally, 7zSorg.sfx is the 7-Zip self extracting module we'll be using. Mine is hacked. I can't seem to find the thread here anymore and I don't remember who wrote it, but it was an MSFN thread and there were instructions on how to hack this file with Resource Hacker in order to make your 7-Zip installers totally silent. That's what I did to mine. It's completely silent; no progress bar, no nothing. This is fantastic for those installers you launch from svcpack.inf or RunOnceEx, but it's not so great for those times when you burn a CD for someone that has my Microsoft AntiSpyware installer and you have to tell them "just give it 5 minutes, it should be done by then." So I suggest keeping the original around for those times that you actually do want visible feedback. Here's a tip: associate the .sfx extension with Resource Hacker. It will really come in handy later on.
As an introduction, I'm going to repackage KeePass Password Safe V1.04. This is a pretty "stock" repack with nothing out of the ordinary. I will put together some other lessons of other projects I've done that do include some special circumstances, but for now we'll start out with something easy and to the point. So if you want to follow along make sure you have the KeePass installer file in the Apps to Repack directory and fire up VMware.
I usually find the defrag32 key in there, just delete it. The Tcpip keys are because I didn't follow my own advice above and did not set a static IP. So here you have network settings. Delete these as well.
Whenever you see a key with "Bags" in it, that means it's a "most recently used" type of entry and it's safe to delete. The next key is the lone entry you'll find from using Registry Checkup and it's safe to delete. And finally at the end, I get the entry on every snapshot capture. Just delete it.
