MSI Testing

1) Orca allows for viewing inside MSIs, especially the versions of the File contents.  Use Orca from the Windows SDK that requires weird extra installation.

      a) download latest Windows SDK and install it

      b) search for Orca-x86_en-us.msi under C:\Program Files (x86) and run it

      c) create shortcuts and taskbar shortcut to C:\Program Files (x86)\Orca\Orca.exe


2) Verify local box has IIS Express for local testing. Verify IIS Express installed by getting to the command line:

  a) >Powershell

  b) >get-service w3svc

  c) if no service, then:

      d) Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:IIS-DefaultDocument /All

e) Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:IIS-ASPNET45 /All

 

3) Helpful Batch files:

Obviously adjust pathing.


 MsiWaxOn.bat

xcopy "C:\QTDev\StoreAPIs\QT.StorePricing.API\QT.StorePricing.API.Setup\obj\x64\Debug\QT.API.StorePricing.Setup.msi" "C:\QTDev\WixTesting\" /Y /Q

cd C:\QTDev\WixTesting

msiexec /i QT.API.StorePricing.Setup.msi /L*vx "C:\QTDEV\WixTesting\msiStorePricing.log"


 MsiWaxOff.bat
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe delete app "Default Web Site/QT.API.StorePricing/v1"
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe delete apppool "QT.StorePricing.API"

Upgrading to .NET8 from desktop versions 4.8.X

Upgrade to Latest .NET OVERALL     Problems and differences encountered taking applications from .NET 4.8 desktop to .NET 8 . SUGGESTION    Rebuild the solution and project files from scratch with latest .NET 8. PROBLEMS APIs    On later .NET APIs (post 4.8 desktop), you need to be extra carefully about how the inbound objects are declared.  So if integer in Postman, then must be integer in object.  In older .NET, they accept properties as strings.       Example - Say body in Postman is:          {     "SettingData" : 31000 }    Pretend endpoint method is: [HttpPut("cache/resettimer")] [Produces("application/json")] [ProducesResponseType(typeof(ResetCacheResponse), Status200OK)] public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> MyMethod ([FromBody] InputData input)    Later .NET must be: public class InputData { public int SettingData { get; set; } } ...

GHL > Set website so shorter URL address Background:  In GoHighLevel, you can  set a specific page as the default page   for your website or funnel, essentially making it the "index.html" equivalent for your domain. This page will be the first one displayed when someone visits your domain without specifying a specific page path.   Example:      1) GHL > Site > pick your funnel or website > Edit it.       2) Notice where it puts the website:     3) If my  https://aiappointmentbooker.com/  is not working but works when I go to  https://aiappointmentbooker.com/home-page-3213  like above, then you need to fix your index.html by doing these steps. Here's how you can do it: Go to Domains:  In your GoHighLevel account, go to  Settings > Domains . Find and Edit Your Domain:  Find the domain you want to configure and click on the edit icon next to it. Set the Default Page:  Set...
