App-V 5 xmind 7.5 update 1 recipe

XMind is a mind mapping and brainstorming software. The simple version is free.  It supports fishbone diagrams, tree diagrams, organization charts, spreadsheets for Mind Maps.

It is a little bit tricky to sequence this application with app-v 5. Here is the App-V recipe for xmind 7.5 update1.

1. Add -enablepvadcontrol to the sequencer shortcut

2. Start the Sequencer
3. Create new package
4. PVAD Directory c:\xmind7 (the start is a little bit faster)
5. Install xmind with all features to the x:\xmind7 folder
6. Don’t finith the installation. Start xmind.

7. Xmind like to install a Bonjoure service. Install the service.

8. If you don’t like to have this service in your package „disable“ the service with services.msc.
9. Restart and finish xmind
10. Xmind create an „application data“ folder in the userprofile. This is not the appdata folder. Delete or rename it

11. Finish the sequencing and edit the package
12. Delete the shortcut „readme“, "About Bonjour" and the windows\installer folder in the package

UserClient script to disable  the automatic updates and bonjour

XMind search for files in a foldlder "Application Data" and not in "Appdata"! The junction point can realeased from a Office installation. So we need a script for a "Appdata" and "Application Data".

Copy the files "org.xmind.cathy.prefs" and org.xmind.ui.sharing.prefs and batch xmindcopy in the "scripts" folder

File org.xmind.cathy.prefs:

checkUpdatesOnStartup=false 
eclipse.preferences.version=1

File org.xmind.ui.sharing.prefs:

SKIP_AUTO_ENABLE=true 
eclipse.preferences.version=1

Batch xmindcopy.cmd:

@echo off
pushd 
IF EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data" goto Install 
IF EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.xmind.cathy.prefs" goto Ende 
md "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\" 
copy /Y ".\org.xmind.cathy.prefs" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\" 
copy /Y ".\org.xmind.ui.sharing.prefs" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\"
exit

:Install 
IF EXIST "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.xmind.cathy.prefs" goto Ende 
md "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\" 
copy /Y ".\org.xmind.cathy.prefs" "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\" 
copy /Y ".\org.xmind.ui.sharing.prefs" "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\XMind\workspace-cathy\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\" 
:Ende

popd exit

 Integrate the script  in the Deployment Configuration File:

 
"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe"
/C [{AppVPackageRoot}]\\..\\scripts\\xmindcopy.cmd

[{AppVPackageRoot}]\\XMind.exe
