Re: multiple domains SYSTEM account error

Maybe the problem is that there is no interdomain trust relationship 
between doma and domb ? So users/computers from doma are not recognised 
by domb.

Having difficulty with PSPad silent install on WPKG

Using the latest on both. The install does execute via WPKG but the problem is that the desktop icon and the quick launch icon are not created. Running the exact same comment from an admin user on the machine correctly installs everything. As this is an Inno Setup installer I have tried using the documented /TASKS and /MERGETASKS switches plus also tried using the /LOADINF switch. The package does install – just without the desktop and quick launch icons when run through wpkg. Anybody have any ideas? I’m not sure if this is a WPKG/Inno issue or solely an Inno issue

 

 
Kind regards,

Install the program manually, after the installation is finished, open the registry and examine the
uninstall entry for the program.
Inno will write the switches you need to use into the uninstall information.

Re: Having difficulty with PSPad silent install on WPKG

Uninstall is unfortunately not the issue - the issue is that running the
install via WPKG does not put the desktop and quick launch icons out the
way running the same command via the workstation does. I.E. :

pspad454inst_en.exe /SILENT /loadinf="\\server\Packages\Custom\PSPad
4.5.4.2365\pspad454.inf"

-or-

pspad454inst_en.exe /SILENT /TASKS=multiuser,icons,contextmenu

works fine via the command line on a PC (software installs, add/remove
programs entry created, desktop icon, quick launch icon, program group).

But running that same command via WPKG gets everything BUT the desktop
and quick launch icons. It's almost as if when it tries to place the
files in All Users (like it does when installed manually) and can't

I think the PSPad installer is partially broken regarding installation using the
SYSTEM user account. Personally I do not care at all about desktop icons - even
better, then I don't have to remove them by script after installation.
However you might use "shortcut.exe" or another tool to create the missing icons
wherever you want.

It's possible too that the PSPad installer installs the icons to the installing
user start menu instead of the global "all users" start menu. In case of "quick
launch" icons I think there is even no "all users" counterpart to push these
icons to all users on the system. So the icons will always only appear in the
profile which was used to launch the installer. Since this is the SYSTEM profile
in case of WPKG nobody will ever see these icons.

Regarding the desktop icon you might be able to move it to the all users profile
by using a script with the contents

 <at> echo off
move "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PSPad**" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop"

or on Vista/7

move "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\PSPad**" "%PUBLIC%\Desktop"

This should move the profile put on desktop of the SYSTEM user to the "all users
profile".

However I personally recommend not to bug users by placing icons on the "all
users" desktop since they cannot remove them and you enforce them to see all
these ugly icons the probably never use.

Regarding the quick launch icon - I don't think you can directly push quick
launch icons to the profile of another user. The quick launch bar is a
"personal" toolbar and therefore should not be enforced by administrators.

PSPad showed another "glitch" in my tests. Log in using a new user account on
the machine. You will see the PSPad context menu entries on files but if you
click on it you get an error that PSPad could not be launched. To fix this the
user has to open PSPad once from the start menu and open Settings => Program
Settings... Then exit PSPad and the context menu works.

I think this is due to some HKCU registry entries required by PSPad. It creates
them when you launch PSPad but it fails to do so if you use the context menu.

Definitely a bug...

br,
Rainer

Strange side effect

Hello all,

in my organisation, I encounter a strange problem on PCs where MS Office 
2000 is installed.
Everytime WPKG starts a MSI installation, it triggers an update of Office.

There is no problem on PCs without MS Office 2000 or with other versions 
of MS Office.

Has anybody seen this problem? Is it possible to suppress this behaviour?

Kind regards
Johannes

Installing MSI packages by hand do also NOT trigger the problem.

Can you please copy your Office package xml file into an e-mail to look at?

Is anything shown in Event Viewer to say what is going on?  WPKG logs most events to here and it may help tell you why this is happening.

For all you having problems with WPKG service starting on some machines
(especially laptops) - could you try this:

sc config wpkgservice depend= TermService

We have Terminal Services disabled on all workstations. This should not make
much difference; we have "Always wait for the network at computer startup and
logon" enabled, as explained here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304970/
