How to install a PowerGUI Script Editor via RDP connection

I've needed to install a PowerGUI Script Editor - a great IDE to write and debug the Powershell (tm) scripts. But an installer has one limitation - if it found that you are trying to install the Editor using RDP connection - it exit immidiately. But I've found a workaround (thanks to PowerGUI forum - link in header) - use a msiexec.exe switches:

msiexec /quiet /i C:\temp\PowerGUI.1.7.0.686.msi ADDLOCAL=PowerShellEditor

How to add JAVA_HOME variable in SUSE 10.2/SUN Java

I needed to install a latest Java build, that is not included in SUSE software DVD. So, I've downloaded a Java RPM from Sun's site, have installed it, but the $JAVA_HOME variable was still undefined. The problem was in /etc/profile.d/alljava.sh file. This script could work only with SUSE-bundled Java, because it do test if predefined paths exists.

So I've created a script named sunjava.sh and put it into the /etc/profile.d/ folder. You can see the script contetnt below:

export JAVA_ROOT=/usr/java
export JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_ROOT/default
export JAVA_BINDIR=$JAVA_HOME/bin
