I had some problems installing the Oculus Desktop Application around two weeks ago. I tried for days and even with help from the Meta Store Support I couldn't get it to work. The download was easy and simple. Just a few clicks and I had the setup ready to get started. But at some point in the installation process, My PC shut down. I came back to see a black screen so I restarted the PC and began installing the application again, but when the installation finished, it said "something went wrong, please restart computer and try again" so I did, but it didn't help. I kept trying different methods for days and the support team couldn't figure it out either. There was so many different ways to try so I started trying everything. All the way from going inte BIOS and changing security settings, to downgrading to windows 10 and factory resetting the whole C:/ Drive. Yet.. still nothing. I then got to know that I don't need the Oculus quest to play PCVR so I stopped trying.
Step 3. After it finishes the download process, you can click the winzip.exe file at the bottom of your browser or open the location where the WinZip app file is saved to open its installer. Then follow the on-screen instructions to install WinZip on your PC.
The WinZip installation consists of approximately 10 dialog boxes that you must click buttons (usually Next) to continue. We are going to write a script that simply waits for these dialog boxes to appear and then clicks the appropriate buttons. As usual with these types of installations the window title of each dialog is the same (WinZip Setup) so we must use window text to tell the difference between windows. Screenshots of each dialog will be provided and you can click on the picture to see the AutoIt v3 Window Info output for that dialog.
First create a directory that we will use for the WinZip installer and our script file. Copy the WinZip installer to this directory and create a blank script called winzipinstall.au3.
Notice that this window has exactly the same title as the first of WinZip Setup - in fact all the dialogs in the setup have this title! In order to tell the difference between these windows we must also use the window text - on each screen try to pick the most unique text you can. In this case I've chosen WinZip features include. After the window has appeared we will want to press ALT-n:
And that's it! Run the winzipinstaller.au3 script and watch as WinZip is installed in just a few seconds! The techniques used in this tutorial can be used to automate the installation of most programs.
i think, the issue Might be the user on your end isnt comfortable with Change and doesnt want to rock the Boat, it could be that the use of Compression tech in thier Daily job is essential and doesnt want to rock the Boat. best thing is to have them both and use the 7zip.(you may need to do some hand holding when they do thier first few zipping )but after that, it should be fine to move away from winzip should everything happen seeemlessly.
More info, evidently an .EXE prgram locked up and my kid said a bunch of boxes popped up which were asking Open With..... , he thought he just closed all them, but did see one box with winzip fly by. He must have associated this for all files, can I change this easily? Having major problems with most of the computer now. Tried rebooting and opening with last safe boot, but no go.
Pretty sure. He was attempting to use the poker.net shortcut, which was corrupted. He kept trying to access it and didn't get any response until about 20 boxes appeared to associate this file type to open with ...... applications. Thought he just closed them all but he did look through one and I think he accepted the open with winzip for all exe files.
The WinZip version does not install to the "Program Files" directory and does not make any changes to the Windows Registry or create any environment variables. Also, shortcuts need to be created manually. You need to have the ability to unpack zip files in order to use this version. Note that you still need to install Tcl/Tk to run the GUI version and it is recommended that you install Ghostscript and Ghostview for viewing and printing Postscript files. Downloading The PC version is distributed in executable form since most users do not have the necessary Fortran compilers. You can download the source from the Unix download pages if you are interested. Step 1: Download the Dataplot Files In order to install the Dataplot, download the following file:
