Problem with long filenames in packaging processes
Hi,
I have a quick question regarding packaging processes of Thinapps. I'm sure others have the same issues too, but it is not much info on it on the interweb.
certain application have alot of subfolders in program files etc. when the developers made the application they did not go over the 255 NTFS filename limit. but when working with the virtual filesystem we get additional subfolders. This makes it difficult to move project folders etc.
Does any have some fix on this issue other than using subst command everytime for each folder?
We use Thinapp 5.1.
We already change the location but, but when storing the project folder on a share we cant avoid getting additional sub directories. The developers for all applications take this into account when they get the same problem in their development environments.
If Thinapp had not used ANSI codes that has a limit of 260 path length. then I dont think that it would an issue. Support case?

Try looking at the two previous discussions listed on the right side of this page with your same question.
Also, try searching/posting in the iTunes forum since you do not have an iPod problem. -

ITunes 10.5 Error Message: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package
When trying to update iTunes to version 10.5, I get the following error message at the end of the installation process:
There is a problem with this Windows
Installer package. A program run as
part of the setup did not finish as
expected.
I have attempted to troubleshoot Windows Installer and it appears to be working properly.After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much! -

When I try to download iTunes 10.5, I keep getting the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." Therefore I can't update my iTunes to the new version. How can I solve this? I don't want to pay for technical support as this seems to be a problem with the iTunes package Apple is providing itself by that message.
Hello, hartadrian.
I would recommend attempting to repair the Apple Software Update via the steps below. Once processed attempt to download, update or install iTunes 11.

Whenever I try to update iTunes to 10.5 I get the message 'There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.'
I then uninstalled iTunes to try and reinstall it but I still get the same message for both 10.5 and previous versions, please help!My situation:
- get error when updating iTunes from 1041 to 1050 or above: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
My system: XP SP3 with all latest updates.
Found out that the 1051 update fixes a major intrusion possibility during the update process, so I want to get iTunes upgraded to 1051.
Did more research and the following worked (not known if all steps outlined were necessary) (I do not guarantee success nor any more issues as a result):
- ran: MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.exe (did JUST the patch option).
- ran: Windows Installation Removal Tool.exe (uninstalled JUST the iTunes program installer folder) (this does not remove the actual program).
- removed all apple software update registry entries.
- removed: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple\Installer Cache\(JUST the software updatefolders) (hidden folder).
- removed: C:\Documents and Settings\current user\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\(JUST the software update folders) (hidden folder).
- DID NOT need to restart
- downloaded latest iTunes update (1051)
- opened using WinRAR
- extracted all files
- ran JUST the apple software update MSI
- it succeeded
- ran JUST the iTunes MSI
- it succeeded
- normally I then uninstall the apple software update program, but DID NOT this time
- DID NOT need to restart
Hope it works for you. -
