Actix on windows 7 ultimate x64

[davidbrayan]

Hi all,

due to 3Gb limit in 32 bit OS and High RAM requirement by Actix when working with huge data(many logfiles) i switched to 64 bit OS to increase RAM beyond 3Gb limit.
Two challanges while doing so were.
1. i was unable to install .NET 1
2. i was unable to use and install Multikey.

So now when i am finished with all this, i thought to share it here for all of you and future references as well.

to install .NET on windows 7 x64

1. Create a new folder named DotNet in C:\ drive (C:\DotNet is used in this guide, you can change to any folder you prefer, but ensure that you use correct path in the following steps).
2. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable Package (dotnetfx.exe ). Make sure the setup file is saved asdotnetfx.exe .
3. Download Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe ). Make sure that the file is renamed and saved asdotnetfxsp1.exe , so that the rest of the steps can be followed easily.
4. Move both installation files into the same directory (i.e. C:\DotNet), if you’re not saving them together.
5. Open command prompt as Administrator .
6. Change to the directory where the two installation setup files for .NET 1.1 are saved (i.e. C:\DotNet).
7. Run the following commands one by one, press Enter after each one.
   
   • dotnetfx.exe /c:"msiexec.exe /a netfx.msi TARGETDIR=C:\DotNet"
   • Then click on “Yes” when prompted to answer “would you like to install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Package?”
   • dotnetfxsp1.exe /Xp:C:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp
   • msiexec.exe /a c:\DotNet\netfx.msi /p c:\DotNet\netfxsp.msp

Install Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 with slipstreamed/integrated Service Pack 1 by running netfx.msi created in the working folder

and Now install Actix the way you do.

Now here comes the licensing part.

1. Disable and turn off UAC
Control Panel-User Accounts and Family Safety-User Accounts-Change Use Account Control Settings-Move Slider to "Never Notify"
REBOOT!!
2. Disable Digital Driver Signing using command prompt with admin rights.
Type in the following 2 separate commands:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
REBOOT!!!
3. Install Multikey in command prompt with admin rights.
Move to Multikey directory (c:\Multikey)
Input the following command:
devcon install multikey.inf root\multikey
Dos window should state this was successfull.
REBOOT!!
4. Digitally sign the installed driver using DSEO13b
(c:\windows\system 32\drivers\multikey.sys)
REBOOT!!

Use same registry file. Here are
http://rapidshare.com/#!download|942...FIXED.rar|1083
other tools and x64 devcon.exe which i used to get it done.

All the above work is of respective authors , i just summed it up.
thanks for all this info.

hi brother
did you had solution on actix when we load with huge data(many logfiles more than 4gb) don't had problem with Memmory

Cheers,

[proy1_10]

All links are working. Maybe your country have problems

Hi David,

can we use the same method for Nemo analyzer?? Thanks

[davidbrayan]

Thanks friends , and happy new year to all.

below are the commands for those using windows 7 32 bit to get access to more RAM beyond the 3GB limit.
run command prompt with administrator rights and enter these commands.

bcdedit /set nx alwaysoff

bcdedit /set pae forceenable

one after another and both commands should return command successful message

and restart your machine.you can see the changes in resource monitor.
