Create a MSI package to deploy with GPO

[teplo]

Hello i'm trying to make a .msi package for use with GPO.

My first test is a little installation (just create one directory, and install 5 files).

I create just .MSI (with .CAB included). When I add my package on GPO (with Ignore language when deploying this package flag) the warning message show in eventlog

Eventid 119:

Software Installation encountered an unexpected error while reading from the MSI file <path to msi file>. The error was not serious enough to justify halting the operation. The following error was encountered: The operation completed successfully.

I have reading on other forum it's possible if your msi package and OS language is different. But the problem is solved if you use Ignore language when deploying this package flag.

With best regards

Hi,

In order to see if the problem is due to the MSI package could you deploy it directly, outside the GPO, and see if there are any installation problems.

Also, the problem may reside with the settings of the GPO.

All the best,
Ciprian

Question:Microsoft patch for Windows installer 3.1 is used by Advanced Installer ?

[teplo]

I'have tried with InstallShield and Windows Installer LE with GPO and it's working fine.

I will compare the project XML structure de find what's wrong. How can I run a check ou debug for my MSI package ?

Hi,

I'm afraid that Advanced Installer doesn't use Microsoft's patch for Windows Installer 3.1.

Regarding the second question, in order to find out what goes wrong during the installation process, you could generate a LOG file.

You can do that from Advanced Installer by using the "Run and Log" option or with the following command line:

msiexec /i mypackage.msi /l* logfile.txt

Please send us the log file to support at advancedinstaller dot com.

Best regards,
Ciprian
