wix - Old Property with RegSearch is affecting Product upgrade (new version without this prop) -


i've inherited project msi created in wix , i'm trying solve of issues unfortunately exist.

there's remember property pattern used found specific directory saved in registry entry:

<property id="auto_found_dir" secure="yes" admin="yes">       <registrysearch id="regsrch_auto_found_dir"                       root="hkcu"                       key="$(var.regpath)"                       name="$(var.specifickey)"                       type="raw"       /> </property>

the specifickey value saved in auto_found_dir property.

then black magic appears. separate component holding (among other stuff) shortcut located in programmenufolder (non-advertised) main executable.

i've been told usage of util:removefolderex workaround old issue shortcut orphaned , hasn't been removed during uninstall:

<feature> <directoryref id="programmenudir">       <component id="cmp_programmenudir" guid="{0e8bd13a-guid-is-here-6e5092eca9ef}">         <createfolder />         <removefolder id='programmenudir' on='uninstall' />         <registrykey id='reg_specifickeyid' root='hkcu' key='$(var.regpath)' forcecreateoninstall="yes">           <registryvalue type='string' name='$(var.specifickey)' value='[programmenudir]'/>         </registrykey>         <!-- other content: shortcut programmenufolder , other stuff -->         <util:removefolderex id="rm_dirid" on="install" property="auto_found_dir"/>       </component>     </directoryref> </feature>

the problem is: don't need workaround (and usage of auto_found_dir property well. i've removed code during upgrade (major, product , package guids set "*", upgradecode has same value previous version) can see in verbose log msi auto_found_dir exists, registrysearch reads key value specific directory , result util:removefolderex removes directory , components there located.

my question is: how can detect why old property being used during upgrade , how rid of it?

additional information: install scope permachine, allusers set 1. msi upgraded version has property removed.

without close @ complete verbose log see what's going on, remember upgrade uninstall of older installed product. means lot of logic in older installed product happen during upgrade. see registrysearch running older product uninstalls, setting auto_found_dir, , see removefolder runs during uninstall.

so it's not clear if have issue if you're seeing uninstall activity of older product being uninstalled. activity embedded in installed product.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
