Re: Boring but important - selling a download product for Windows

Actually I do know someone who speaks, more or less, Etruscan. He is an expert in dead and dying languages. Sadly though he’s in England, so Dr H’s uncle is unlikely to meet him. Could we get more OT if we tried? Graham > On 23 Jan 2017, at 21:37, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode >

RE: Idea about Norton

Looks like we'd have to request user to disable or ignore both AV SW and Microsoft's Smartscreen (Win 8 and 10) before installation. As a Norton user myself, I just downloaded on Windows 10 a code signed test file of my own, and Norton's screens were less off-putting and more informative than

RE: Idea about Norton

I have a Adobe CC business account. When the problem requires a re-install Adobe tech support always has me disable AV SW on any of the PCs with CC installed. If Adobe requires turning off the AV SW to install CC components then why would it be a problem for LC SW distribution to require the same?

Re: Idea about Norton

I think AV authors were onto this trick a long time ago. I've asked LC to look into seeing what can be done about this (mainly by contacting Norton), because we use NAV at our company, and for every new compile of every desktop app, we have to manually approve it on every workstation. On Mon,

Re: Idea about Norton

I think this is the wrong way to go about it. I don't think Norton simply counts the number of times software attempts to install without signing, and then has a threshold where it accepts the unsigned installation without challenge. I have noticed however that sometimes installation

Idea about Norton

Hi Graham. I wanted to float a rough idea off-list... Tell me what you think. If Norton faults our files for being new and not (yet) popular, perhaps we could generate a base of download activity ourselves to get over the threshold. Specifically, I'm thinking of an informal group of software

Re: Boring but important - selling a download product for Windows

Thanks Tom, all good advice, most of which I am following, although I am starting with the zipped version of the installer (made with innoSetup and code signed). The trouble with trying to ignore Norton is that it’s used a lot, and for those that have it installed, the instructions to reach

Re: AW: Boring but important - selling a download product for Windows

Hi all. Here's what I've learned from many years of providing PC downloads: * Email attachments are heavily filtered and rightly so. Use this only as a last resort for delivery of a program. * These days, fewer people are willing to download a trial version, in part due to Norton, but also many

Re: LC Server & Server Based Stack?

Hi Bob, The LC Dictionary shows AppleScript commands are for the desktop only - so probably lcServer can’t do it. If there is anyone on the list who has had success having lcServer send AppleScript commands please feel free to chime in! Thanks, Rick > On Jan 23, 2017, at 10:38 AM, Bob

Re: LC Server & Server Based Stack?

If you have a Mac, there is IAC Inter-Application Communication). I am not sure if lcServer can issue Applescript commands, but you CAN create a standalone to listen for Applescript commands, and the IDE runnign on a Mac does this natively. Bob S > On Jan 22, 2017, at 11:12 , Rick Harrison

Re: LC Server & Server Based Stack?

That is becase the parent process for both stacks is the IDE. In a web browser, as previously mentioned, each time lcServer runs a script it is a new process. Bob S On Jan 21, 2017, at 07:47 , Rick Harrison via use-livecode >

AW: Boring but important - selling a download product for Windows

Hi Graham, I do it just this way - creating a signed installer, zip it and upload it for download. Offering an installer exe without having zipped it, will always be detected as potentially harmful. The remaining support is for users, who don't know how to handle a zip file Tiemo
