Have you ever tried to install Visio 2016 on a computer that you already have Office 365 installed already and it gave you a “Click-to-Run” error? This error is fairly easy to get around and in this post I will teach you how.

First thing you will want to do is download the “Office Deployment Tool” and extract it somewhere. I prefer to do this on my Desktop or in my Downloads directory.

EDIT: I recently did this again and had to use this “Office Deployment Tool”

Next, you will want to create the following “downloadconfig.xml” in the directory that you extracted the Office Deployment tool into. Inside that document, put in the following information (please edit for your version of Visio). For this install, I am installing Visio Professional 2016.

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" >
    <Product ID="VisioProXVolume" PIDKEY="69WXN-MBYV6-22PQG-3WGHK-RM6XC">
        <Language ID="en-us" />
     </Product>
   </Add>  
</Configuration>

Once you have that done, you will want to run the following two commands from the root of the Office Deployment Tool Directory. One to download the needed files and the other to perform the installation.
Download:

.\setup.exe /download .\downloadconfig.xml

Install:

.\setup.exe /configure .\downloadconfig.xml

So this is insanely easy and short, but surprisingly most don’t know it’s an option.

For Chrome:

• Browse to the photo you want to download, click the download icon and select “View all sizes”
• Select the size of the image that you want to download. (I always choose the largest)
• Right click on the photo and select “Inspect Element”. This will open the Developer bar, which will be open to the Elements Tab.
• Right click the link under the line that is highlighted and select “Open link in new tab”.
• Right click and choose “Save image as…”

For Firefox:

• Browse to the photo you want to download, click the download icon and select “View all sizes”
• Select the size of the image that you want to download. (I always choose the largest)
• Right click on the photo and select “Inspect Element (Q)”. This will open the Developer Tools bar, which will be open to the Inspector Tab.
• Right click the link under the line that is highlighted and select “Open link in new tab”.
• Right click and choose “Save Image As…”

For IE:

• Browse to the photo you want to download, click the download icon and select “View all sizes”
• Select the size of the image that you want to download. (I always choose the largest)
• Right click on the photo and select “Inspect Element”. This will open the Developer Tools bar, which will be open to the DOM Explorer Tab.
• Copy the link under the line that is highlighted and paste it in a the URL bar. (You will have to remove the part of the text that you copy that is not part of the URL, like the following: <img src=”HTTP THAT YOU KEEP” />
• Right click and choose “Save picture as…”

For Edge:

• Browse to the photo you want to download, click the download icon and select “View all sizes”
• Select the size of the image that you want to download. (I always choose the largest)
• Right click on the photo and select “Inspect Element”. This will open the Developer Tools bar, which will be open to the DOM Explorer Tab.
• Copy the link under the line that is highlighted and paste it in a the URL bar. (You will have to remove the part of the text that you copy that is not part of the URL, like the following: <img src=”HTTP THAT YOU KEEP” />
• Right click and choose “Save picture”

Is the KVM Console not working cause of damn Java?

Do you get the following “IOException – Authentication Failure!” error when you are just simply trying to connect to your server (CS24-SC) via the built in KVM/Console in BMC? – Turns out this is a really easy fix

 

It turns out you’re just using the wrong version of Java…

You will need to install the 32 bit version of Java. Since the CS24-SC is older hardware, Java updates will likely break your remote access. In the case that you have updated Java or for some reasons the KVM just stopped working, you should roll back your Java version. I have found success with Java 7 Version 55 and 51, I have seen others have success with most other versions of 7, but this is working for me, so why change it. I’ve put a link to the java archive below:

NOTE:Also make sure you are opening your .jnlp file with javaws.exe if you continue to see this error after installing the 32bit version. This may happen if you have both 64bit and 32bit versions installed.
