EXE to MSI convert issue

Hello All,
How do i convert exe to msi. i used 3rd party tools but nit work. Can anyone please suggest
Thanks

Hello,
There is no feature in Windows that can handle this request. As you already mentioned you need to use third party tools but they are not tested and in most cases they do not appear to work. Either you have to use a product like SCCM in order to deploy Exe
files or consider deploy it using ZAP files.
Publish no-MSI packages using Zap
Another option is to check software if it is capable of command line silent installation and make it happen using start-up scripts.

Convert EXE to MSI

can we convert the exe to msi using the tool which is given in windows server 2000 under 3rd party tool(veritas).if it is possible how to do it.or else do we hv a tool in sccm to convert to exe to msi.either of way pls tell me the process.

You can't use a .exe as a package definition. Sometimes the program manufacturers will create a package definition file (formerly .pdf, and now .sms for obvious reasons :-) .msi files can be imported as package definition files as well.
However, you can still just create a package (not from definition), and then create your own program to call setup.exe with whatever command line parameters you want. A package definition file just pre-creates the package and programs for you, but you can easily create them on your own also.

Installing LV 8.2 on Vista64. Unable to install - "regsvr32.exe on msi.dll"

Running Vista64, trying to Install LV8.2 . This version works fine on xp, win7, and 2 vista machines (I tested them) but not on this machine.
It is a windows error, and I have posted on their boards as well, but I figure ask here since the quality of intellect is higher.
Anyway, the error reads
"The Windows Installer engine is corrupt. To attempt to resolve this issue, please register the engine by running regsvr32.exe on msi.dll."
I type "regsvr32 msi.dll" into the "run" command, following above instructions. It fails; with error code 0x80040201 . This error code is apparently due to a corrupted MS outlook profile. Outlook is not installed on this computer, and has never been installed on this computer.
Just testing the waters to see if anyone has ever had these issues before I go fight with M$.

Hi,
Maybe its because LV 8.2 does not support 64bit OS'. Vista64 is supported since LV 8.2.1

Converting EXE to MSI for Deployment

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could recommend a free solution to convert EXE installers to MSIs for Deployment. There are some I've found, however the straight conversion hardly ever works, and I've found you need to tell the installer creator the location
of buttons to get it to create a working one. Does anybody know of any free ones, as the only one I've found that's worked has cost about $200?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
After researched and tested we found no Microsoft solution can convert EXE file to MSI file at present.
You can use third party tools to achieve that, but these third party tools are not tested and confirmed by Microsoft.
We provide two workarounds:
1. Contact software provider to get a MSI file.
2. Deploy Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to deploy EXE files.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

DSC Package resource handling EXE (not MSI)

I am working through using the built-in Package resource provider for Desired State Configuration and I am having issues with using .EXE files with it (not MSI).
I see no failures in Trace-xDscOperation and I also don't see any attempt at processing the package, nor any errors with the attempt.
.EXE don't have 'ProductId' as a property (not the GUID that an MSI has) so I am a little confused as to how to set this up properly.
All of the documented examples are with MSI packages, not EXE.

Learn. Apply. Repeat.
Disclaimer: Attempting change is of your own free will.

If you use the Start-DscConfiguration with the -debug switch the script file has very comprehensive debugging enabled. It *should* tell you where things are going wrong.
having read through the script a little (you'll find it at C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\Modules\PSDesiredStateConfiguration\DSCResources\MSFT_PackageResource\MSFT_PackageResource.psm1 ) Might help you identify what's going on.
But it seems that for an exe the ProductId is used as the identifier for the uninstall directory. so you should be able to use [guid]::NewGuid() to create a new random one and pass that into it.
Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes - we're all still learning the quirks of this!

Scrambled icons for Windows .EXE and .MSI files in Finder.

For some reason the icons in Snow Leopard for .exe files and .msi files show up as a scrambled image. I wish there was a way to upload a screenshot. Is anyone else seeing this problem. I do have VMware Fusion installed. Not sure if that is causing the issue.
Just to be clear, the icon are scrambled in the Finder, not in any of the VMware sessions.

I'm getting the same thing. When I look at the get info information they are associated with Windows explorer in Bootcamp, so I just changed them over to be associated with VMWare Fusion, which gives me nice plain icons.
I wish there were some way to say all exe files get a certain custom icon. Then I would use the Fusion icon.

MS SCCM - using to deploy & install exe or msi files on various machines

Win 8.1 update with MSI GX70 issues

Hello people.
I recently updated my MSI GX70-3BE from win 8 to win 8.1 pro (update from store, not clean install), along with numbers of new driver supplied by MSI (VGA, SCM, killer network, etc.) and BIOS (w8_E176KAMS.50D) + EC (w8_176KEMS1.505)
Now I notice 2 problems after the update
1. Bluetooth headphone won't connect if I turn bluetooth off and on from SCM window, and my headphones also disappeared from playback device in control panel > sound. This never happened when I was using win 8. The ways to reconnect with any bluetooth device again are, first, disable then re-enable "Realtek Bluetooth 4.0+High Speed Chip" in Device Manager, another way to do the job is to restart the machine. This is very annoying because I can't use SCM alone to turning bluetooth on/off.
PS. I use SCM from windows 8 as the new one for win 8.1 doesn't has trackpad control, but tried both version and still get the problem
2. Just after I updated Bios and EC, I used Samsung magician to observed my SSD (samsung 840 pro 128GB) but it shown that my SSD is running in Sata II 3Gbs/s which never happened (again) in Win 8. I also used other program to see if it's running only 3 Gb/s and benchmark results dropped by half from those with Win 8. I tried to updated firmware&EC and AMD catalyst control but that didn't help.
Does anybody ever experienced anything like this?? Please help. Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks you

This is really the first I've seen any issues regarding this. The bluetooth is especially strange. The best I can say regarding that issue is to contact MSI about it.
>>How to contact MSI.<<
The Samsung 840 Pro was very troublesome on most of the GT60/GT70 notebooks, as it wouldn't run at SATA3 speeds on those, at all, ever. No matter what Firmware/BIOS/EC or driver you used, it just wouldn't work. No one ever figured out why, most just shy'ed away from using it because it was a problem and didn't perform as well over time compared to other drives. Perhaps try checking in the bios to see what it's recognized as before Windows boots to see if it shows up at SATA3 or SATA2 speeds?

DNG 5.4 beta converter issues with Hasselblad H2D-39 files

I was directed to this forum when I posted a note on the DNG converter 5.4 beta, converting to use on Photoshop CS3 (see thread http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436940?tstart=0 )
The converter has a very interesting "fail pattern" when converting Hasselblad .3fr files:
First file fails (error message displayed is "Unknown error", second file converts OK, 3rd fails, 4th OK, 5th fails, 6&7 OK, 8th fails..
By about the 20th file, 5 are successfully converted in a row and then by file 30, no more failures!
So it would seem that there is not really a problem with actually reading/processing the .3fr file content. Instead looks like some form of memory or other issue in the code??
I have also noted a few cases of problems with the conversion itself, picture ends up totally posterized, see attached file which is unmodified out of raw -> PS CS3:
Finally, processing the DNG files converted still fails on Photoshop CS3 as reported earlier in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/421742?tstart=0
If I open the DNG file in PS CS3 and save pretty much immediately, saving works. If I do almost any processing, the "Save as" freezes PS3 before the file/directory selection dialog starts. Only forcefully stopping Photoshop helps. Looks like there is something in the "Save as" dialogue that does not check for exceeding max memory allocated to Photoshop or similar?

Hi,
Thanks for responding. I thought this was the forum pointed to from the download site, was not aware of the dng forum. Though there is another post on probs with convering Hasselblad files ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436615?tstart=0 ), my symptoms are quite similar ("Unknown error") so I would suspect this could be related to the same prob? As I am quite keen to get rid of the Phocus software, if there is anything I can do to help you fix the bug, just send me a note.
Thanks, Håkan

MSI CX61 issue - blank screen, amber power button. Help appreciated.

Good evening,
I have an issue with my MSI CX61. If anyone can help I'll be very grateful.
The notebook is unmodified it has all the original hardware straight from the box.
The issue is that the MSI, when turned on, seems to access the hard drive for a second before the blue led that indicates hard drive access stops blinking. The MSI doesn't even reach the logo. It is completely unusable, there is nothing on screen, at present I cannot access bios.
The battery led to show the notebook is charging starts off blue and then turns orange.
The power button is persistently Amber.
What I have attempted:
I have attempted to run the computer directly off the battery, battery taken out, and the problem persists.
I have connected my laptop, via HDMI cable, to a TV while turning the notebook on; the TV stays blank but appears to receive a signal
The harddrive is working while attached to another laptop, it can access all my data.
If this is important the last thing I did was install steam. The problem started when my computer cut out. No warning, it still had battery also.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Jharris

Ok hi, it seems like you might have the windows black screen error and its because of faulty windows updates, it usually occurs on windows 8 systems but might occur on others too. What i suggest is to set it back in time before you installed steam and now you can do this by pressing f8 or f9 or shift f8 or shift f9 or f10 or f11 when starting your laptop.
Try the different keys just spam click it really while restarting or booting cold your laptop and test all the keys im 100% sure one of them should work or maybe its another key but u should come to windows recovery options and from there u choose reset. Try it and tell me if it worked thanks!

B1IF mass data process(convert) issue

Hi All,
I have a issue converting a large amount of data that I queried from my SAP database via a B1IF sql call.
The data must be covert to another format before converting the xml to a string to be dropped on MQ.
I have 120 other messages that works the same way without any issue.
The process just stops when I try to convert the data to a string.
The atoms with data looks like this before passing it to the XML2TXT call.The xml disapeared and changed to text (maybe this is because it is a mass of data ?)
Please assist...
Kind Regards,

Distributable MSI package issue

Platform: Windows XP SP3 Finnish
Flash version: 10.1.53.64
Format: MSI package
The latest distributable Flash plugin (for other browsers than IE) MSI installation fails with an error message:
Error 2753. The file 'FP_PL_MSI_INSTALLER.exe' is not marked for installation.
Anyone else having this problem and has a solution?

The problem seems to relate to a failure to remove the previous version leading
to a stuck MSI install. It can be cleared using the Microsoft MSI cleanup utility.
BUT!!
Microsoft have removed the MSI cleanup tool from their download site as they seem to say it can cause damage to other parts of the system. The tool is still available from various download sites but useing it has to be at your own risk.
