Installer pkg question

Hi i've had my mb for 2 years and have 5gigs of installer package pkg's such as garageband extra content, security update pkg, iphoto.pkg etc my hard drive is limited to 55gigs so i'm in need of space..once these updates and packages get installed can i get rid of the pkg or must i leave all of these files on my hd? is there any downside to erasing them?

Unless they're in the /Library/Receipts/ folder, just delete them. To make more space available, delete items in the /Library/Printers/ folder you don't use and run a tool such as Monolingual.

Win 7, 64-Bit, p6630f, #BM421AA#ABA. Installation Pkg for HPSolCenter won't install .msi?

Somehow my Windows Installation pkg for The HP Solution Center for my desktop Pavillion has been lost and the error message I recieve is; Error Code #2761 and, in the past it has come up as an .msi issue, which I have found to be a network issue. It seems to be a sensitive issue w/warnings I receive. Can you help me get my installation pkg for this issue up and running?

Hello and thanks for joining HP forums. Please go to the link below and enter your HP printer product number. Download and install that latest software and any updates suggested. This should correct this error. Alternatively if you have the disc that came with your printer you can install the software from the disc and it should resolve the issue.

Silent installs - quick question

Hi All
We like to confirm if silent installations both 32-bit and 64-bit java jdk installs support installation directory option.
Eg
On 64-bit JDK
jdk.exe /s /v/qn INSTALLDIR=C:\software_installations\jdk1.6\ /L C:\software_installations\scripts\auto-install.log\
We ask because we keep getting pop-ups on options to install but it doesnt have INSTALLDIR option.
Does 32-bit JDK have different options ?
What are the exact command string including option of install directory ?
We like to silent install our 32-bit and 64-bit JDKs with our custom install directory, not using the default.
Thanks

No multiposting, please. One thread is enough.

Where to find installer .pkg on Mac after app store purchase

Can anyone tell me if Apple dumps the installer package somewhere on your Mac after purchasing an app from MAS? I'm tying to get an app which is only available on MAS onto a machine that does not have MAS installed on it (long story about incompatibility with pro apps and video card) and I'm unable to find an installer anywhere else online. I have installed the app on another machine, so hoping I can find the installer .pkg and copy it over the the machine without MAS and do the install.
Any ideas?

Most apps that come through the MAS are the drag & drop type, so there is no installer. Apple states that you should be able to copy an app from one Mac to another, such as over a network. However, apps from the MAS usually require a minimum of Mac OS X 10.6.6 or they will not work. Check the software requirements on the right side of the app's MAS page.

PI 7.0 installation: SAPInst question

Hi guys,
I have a question regarding SAPInst.
I am attempting to install a new NetWeaver 7.0 PI (Abap and Java) central system (Windows 32 on Oracle).
At page 81 of the Installation guide for NetWeaver 7.0 it says that at the SAPinst Welcome screen I should be able to select between the following 2 installation options:
- SAP Systems
- Software Life-Cycle Options
However what I see is:
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3
- Standalone Engines
- Optional Standalone Units
- Software Life-Cycle Options
Can anybody tell me what path/feature I should select for a full PI installation? Where do I find the "SAP Systems" described in the Installation Guide?
Many thanks,
Brodo

SQL 2012 SP1 installation quick questions

I am installing my first SQL 2012 SP1 Enterprise Core (x64). The installation failed to install some services due to an error installing .Net framework 3.5. It was able to install successfully several features including Analysis Services
and Integration services, but not the Database Engine, Management tools and Reporting services.
Note: I ran the set up and my user is an administrator in the target server, but I did not right clicking on setup.exe and "Run as administrator" .
I have two questions
1) Did I had to run the setup by Right clicking on setup.exe and "Run as administrator"?
2) Now that my installation failed. After installing the missing requirements....Do I:
a) Uninstall the current failed installation
b) Do I attempt to install again "on top of the existing installation".
c) Redo the whole server and start fresh.
I am open to expert suggestions. Please help
Paulino

Hello,
1. If you are already logged in as Administrator, there is no need to use the Run as Administrator option.
2. I would choose to uninstall everything and install again. Since were are installing from the Command Prompt, and we do not have the
GUI, and we are not familiar with the command line options.
Please use the following article to install SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server Core:

Hope this helps.

Hi All
I have managed to upgrade our DEV and TST ECC6 systems to SQL2005 (from SQL2000) and so far all seems ok however I have a a few questions and checks I would like some help with. I have included my post installation tasks at the bottom of this post, so you know what I have done.

Can't run 'FileOpen' plug-in installer (.pkg file)

I'm trying to install the 'FileOpen' plug-in for Adobe Reader, but I can't open the .pkg file. My OS is out of date (10.5.8) but still meets the minimum requirements for the software, as far as I can tell.
I am getting the following error message: com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error-1
Any ideas?

I found a fix. I didn't need the Adobe PDF Viewer FF plugin after all. I deleted the regular Adobe PDF Viewer plugin from the Library and reinstalled Adobe Reader without deleting the old one. Now FireFox gives me a a window that asks me if I want to download the PDF.

PackageMaker and Software Installs - Newbie Questions

I understand from using Remote Desktop and from the forums that you can custom create install packages for Macs on a LAN. I would just like to understand what the limitations are, what the simplified process for creating them is etc.
We use disk images for building machines but updating the 30 machines for software updates etc is a pain in the current format (going to each machine).
Would the process be to install the software on the default image, select the components for install, create package and put out via ARD? Would this work and install any software package, place items in the dock etc.
Am I over estimating the abilities of ARD and Package maker or on the right lines. Just after speeding things up etc
We have ARD 3.1, mixture of G4 Dual 500, 867 and 1,27s (running 10.3.9) and MacPro 3GHz (10.4.8) and an Xserve on 10.4.7
Many thanks

For more complex installs we use loggen to take a snapshot of the installed files.
While at Macworld this year researching tools for distribution like this, I discovered that JAMF Software had released their Composer application as a separate purchase/download from their entire Casper Suite. It's a GUI for diff so it will take a snapshot, let you install all your software and then take another snapshot and build a .dmg or .pkg for you. We absolutely had to be able to install "critical" Microsoft Office updates for all my Macs at work and we simply couldn't "touch" all the machines to run the Office Updater, so we had to find a tool like this. I've been messing around with it for about two weeks and there are a couple of issues I have with it, but we're currently pushing out Office 2004 updates now without any trouble.

Where are the installer pkg receipts?

I just found out that 10.6.8 has a different receipts handling for installer packages. And almost all of my /Library/Receipts entries are gone.
Sadly, though, some uninstallers depend on the availability of the Receipts. For instance the MacFUSE uninstaller tries to find the receipt Archive.bom to find out what needs to be removed.
Is there a way to unearth the receipts information from my system?
Thanks,

Thanks. Interestingly, that did not always work well:
(null).fuseExt2Support.Distribution_folder.pkg.bom
(null).fuseExt2Support.Distribution_folder.pkg.plist

I am trying to upload itunes 10.5, but get a message "There is a problem with this Window Installer Pkg. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor". What is it I need to do?

I am trying to install itunes 10.5, but during the download I get the following message, "There is a problem with this Window Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personanal or package vendor." If this is my personal computer and was able to upgrade to the previous version (pre 10.5), why not now? What is my "package vendor"? And what is it I need to do to fix this? The message is unclear. Unfortunately, I deleted my itunes program, thinking that in doing so, 10.5 would finally load. Now I have no itunes on my computer and unable to sync my iphone. Help!
Thanks - Rick

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

When i try to install iTunes onto my new computer, it says ""installation pkg could not be opened. Verify that this pkg exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer pkg."

When I try to install iTunes onto my new computer, it says "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that this package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." I can save iTunes onto my computer, but when I click run, this is the message that appears. How do I get this thing installed?

Hello annesmith1954,

You can use the information in the following article to troubleshoot your installation issues with installing iTunes on your PC.

I cannot upgrade itunes 10.1 or higher on Windows xp. I get the file 'C:\...AppleSoftwareUpdate\' is not a valid installation pkg for the product iTunes. Try to find the installation pkg in a folder for which u can intsall iTunes. Can't find folder. Now ?

This is getting frustrating, it won't let me upgrade. I get to a certain point where it tells me iTunes.msi is not a valid installation package for the product.
What do I need to do? I have bought a new Ipod & I have to update before I can download to my Ipod.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
