Installer created via Deployment Utility - disable uninstall before install?

With an Installer created by the TestStand 3.1 Deployment Utility, when the Installer executes it always has to first uninstall any deployed files that are on the target system.  If I wanted to disable this feature and have the Installer just always overwrite existing files is there a way to do so?

Hi Snood1,
I was able to reproduce that message on my end here and unfortunately could not find a way to prevent that message or auto-uninstall.  I tried using the command prompt, but could not get a silent uninstall to occur.  I did however try it out on both TestStand 3.5 and 4.0 and each of these versions recognized that I was upgrading my deployment and installed over the old system with the new versions of the files.  The only thing I know to recommend here is an upgrade of the version of TestStand if you want to prevent this message.  If needed, click here for product information.
Best of luck!

  • Reader 9.4.x uninstall before installing Acrobat X?

    Does Adobe Reader 9.4.x need to be uninstalled before installing Acrobat X? If I fail to do so, will Acrobat X become the default reader application assuming I do not alter the installation defaults? Is there any reason to keep Reader 9.4.x if I am installing Acrobat X? Should I upgrade to Reader X prior to installing Acrobat X? Thanks in advance for your prompt replies.

    Having just spoken with "Sam" at Adobe technical support, it was suggested that I uninstall Adobe Reader prior to installing Acrobat X Pro. I was told that if I did not do so, it would prompt me to upgrade during the installation of Acrobat X since the version of Reader is 9.4.x and not version X (or above). I was also told that once Acrobat X Pro is installed, it will become the default application for handling PDF opening. If anyone has any additional or different information, please post it here.

    does earlier version of elements need to be uninstalled before installing PSE13?

    Hello,
    don't worry, I for my part I have on my computer more of these earlierer (outdated in some cases) Adobe programs, to see the difference or for some other reasons. Try them out for a while and then decide, whether you need the both.

  • How to get installer created via LV project to install executables on a Vista machine which are in admin mode?

    I have an installer for a program created via a LV project which installs two executables.
    On Vista, only one of the executables is in admin mode.  So, I always have to right click
    on the other and select 'run as administrator'.
    Any way of getting both of them set to run as administrator by default?

    Do your executables include a manifest inside them or are you installing a manifest file next to your executables?
    What happens if you just manually copy the executables to your system rather than installing them? Same thing, or different behavior?

  • Create EAR deployment profile disabled - 11gR1

    Hello,
    I have created two separate, EJB and WAR, projects and now I tried to create a wrapping project to put them together in an EAR file. However, in the new project, the option "EAR file" in the (create new) deployment profiles is disabled. Is there any prerequisite to have this option enabled? I'm on jDev 11gR1.

  • Uninstall Before Installing CS6 Design Std.

    I currently have activated trial versions of Photoshop CS6, ID CS6, and Illustrator CS6. I have PS deactivated (I have a separate single app license for that). ID and Illustrator are activated via my Creative Cloud subscription.  I have decided to purchase CS6 Design Standard. Do I need to uninstall Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign before installing the CS6 Design Standard downloads? 
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Hi,
    Although you already have those softwares (photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator) installed in your system however you will still have to uninstall these applications before installing Design Standard in the same computer because the installer for Suite and standalone products are different.
    Thanks

  • Do individual Adobe products need to be uninstalled before installing creative cloud?

    I am deploying user licenses to several users in a department where a lot of individual Adobe products are installed and already in use. Will these individual products need to be uninstalled before using or installing Adobe Creative Cloud?

    U-96,
    When you install different versions, you should always do so in order from first to last. With a different order, you will (almost certainly) overwrite crucial files with older versions.

  • Disable Spotlight before installing a large software update?

    Is it a good idea to "disable" both Time Machine and especially Spotlight before downloading any large software update?  And then enable again after the install?
    This question is based on what I have read on various threads.  Would like to know both the "pros" and "cons".
    Thanks

    Not sure where you read that but it is false. There is no need to disable anything before doing any "Updates".
    It is always a good idea to do a Time Machine backup before you do any major updates and Especially when doing UpGrades so you can Roll back to that TM backup if the "UPGRADE" fails or causes problems.

  • Git Already Installed - Should I uninstall before Installing XCode 4?

    Hi Folks
    I already have git installed (Version 1.7.3.4 in /usr/local/git).
    I would like to use XCode 4 but as I understand it it installs git.
    So my question is really do I need to try and uninstall my existing git to avoid conflict or perhaps I could prevent XCode 4 from installing git and config it to use the existing installation?
    I don't mind leaving my existing install if there will be no conflicts but equally I'm nervous about persuading XCode 4 to use my existing install in case the version that XCode 4 installs is customized in any way and things would break without it?
    Any experience/advice appreciated.
    Regards...jeremy

    From the latest Xcode 4 readme:
    New Issues
    Source Control and Snapshots
    Git: Xcode doesn’t commit pull or merge source control operations on conflicted binary files when using Git. Instead, a dialog appears indicating that Git failed to merge a binary file.
    After the dialog appears, finish the operation by entering this command in Terminal:
    git commit

  • Uninstall before installing universal FCP?

    just wondering if i have to unistall FCP studio apps before i install new universal FCP 5 + dvd studio pro, motion, et al.

    You most certainly do not have to. It's no requirement, if that's what you're asking.
    I personally did an Erase and Install of Tiger, then from scratch installations of FCS, but my machines were getting crowded with a lot of junk (downloading too much stuff from versiontracker).
    But I would have felt just as confident simply updating/installing over the existing apps if I was a more disciplined downloader.

  • Do I uninstall before installing new drive

    Sorry, I am suuuurrree this has been asked a million times, but didn't see it in the FAQ.
    I am putting a Sound Blaster Li've into my rig, do I need to install from the CD? If so, do I install the updated driver listed in the download section over it's Both of them, there is a big pack and one that says I need it st.
    From this page:
    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=&sOSName=Windows+XP&regi on=&Product_Name=Li've%2+5.&Product_ID=50&modelnum ber=&driverlang=033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=8&y=4
    Thanks.

    You just install the Li've Uni-Pack, not the driver update pack. That update pack is for an update to the initial unified driver that is no longer posted.
    The problem is the only software update that'll then install are the 2 PlayCenter downloads. First, 3.02.52 then 3.02.70. The other software needs a previous installation to update.
    A way around this is to install the full cd from badboy's posting of Creative cd's. After that you just need the PlayCenter 3.02.70 update. It installs the same package as the Li've Uni-Pack but also has full versions of the software package.

  • Disable Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr Plugin before installing LR3

    If you're using Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin in LR2, save yourself some grief and disable it before installing LR3. If you don't, LR3 won't start up properly and it will give you a very misleading message that it can't open your converted LR2 catalog. It makes you think that something went wrong converting the LR2 catalog, but it really didn't. I finally figured this out by deleting my converted LR2 catalog, then starting LR3 and telling it to create a new catalog instead of converting my LR2 catalog. It did this, and then gave me the true error message that the flickr plugin was not compatible with LR3 and it automatically disabled it. At this point, I was able to select my LR2 catalog to open (from within LR3) and it went through the conversion process again and successfully opened the catalog. Jeffrey currently only has a beta version of his LR3 compatible flickr plugin. You can find it on his blog.http://regex.info/blog/2010-06-08/1539

    kirbinster, sounds like you might also have other issues with your installation. I didn't have the issue with the help files. So, I'm not sure. You might try uninstalling LR3 and starting over, assuming you still have your LR2 catalog intact. Before you re-install, go into the plugin manager in LR2 and disable the Flickr plugin.
