You can avoid this in a simple way:

1. Rename the .img file into an .iso file.

2. Download 7-zip portable version and extract the executable to a folder on your server desktop.

3. Navigate to the extracted folder and run 7-ZipPortable.exe.

4. Browse and open (double-click) the renamed .iso file

5. You can extract all files from the .iso to another folder on your desktop

Now you can browse to that folder and run the setup of language pack with no problem.

An improvment in performance was immediate. And then suddenly a baloon pops up from my system tray explaining that there are solutions to my Vista problems (format? ). Desiring the better performance I follow the link and download the update. For all here’s the link to KB article from which you can download the update for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows Vista.

After installing the patch and restart – the difference is obvious. Performance is better.

The best performance improvement I notice is that my SharePoint Designer crashes immediately instead of freezing for 2 minutes first :-)

1. Mouseover DOM inspector v. 2 – MODIv2

This thing is pure JavaScript, DHTML and CSS so you really don’t need anything else for inspecting a DOM of a certain page. All you need is to bookmark a link on the help homepage:

And then go to the page you want to inspect the DOM, and next just call the script from your favourites.

And you’re already exploring the DOM.

It doesn’t contain as many tools as the previously described toolbars, but it’s a very good solution for quick start and instant DOM inspection.

1. Web developer toolbar for Mozilla Firefox

It offers quite a wide array of tools for web developers, such as ruler, css validation, DOM explorer, etc.

It has a nice feature when exploring DOM – it displays all the parrent elements – so you can see how any element is nested.

A neat add-on to that feature would be to be able to pause the selection and view the nested DOM, since there are a lot of times too many nested elements and the text goes out of the screen.

2. Firebug

A good combination of both – ie and firefox dev toolbar, it has very good tools for debugging HTML, CSS and JavaScript. What I like about it is that you can select the elements and it automatically also selects the HTML. And to manipulate the HTML, JavaScript and CSS in real time is very easy.

What I like about it is that it is easy to use, it has ability to monitor, debug and execute JavaScript, it helps with visualising some of CSS properties, and its toolset is nicely organized and easy to use. On the image below you can see how easy is to manipulate HTML in real time.

The problem of displaying too many nested elements is solvet neatly with a simple solution: the elements are ordered in opposite sense – it displays nested elements from right to left – instead of html > body > … div it displays div < … < body < html.

These are some neat tools that may make your life easier. I recomend using them all together because you know what headaches the IE/FireFox display compatibility can cause

A solution to this problem is:

7-zip file archiver.

It has its own high compression format and also supports

• packing/unpacking to/from 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
• unpacking from: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS

From what I’ve seen from news it also supports .ISO. What I especially like is the nice Windows Explorer integration.
