Pushing out msi to clients doesnt upgrade existing version in "Programs and Features" win7 64

I have created a Firefox msi and when I push it out to my network clients it doesn't seem to upgrade the existing version in "Programs and Features". Is there a switch I can add to manually remove a previous version or upgrade? If i remove the previous version in "Programs and Features" there is still the latest version in "Programs and Features", the previous version uninstalls the executable but leaves the Mozilla folder with some files until I also remove the latest version with "Programs and Features". Basically if I install Firefox 29 on the client, then install Firefox 30 via MSI, "Programs and Features" shows both versions installed, but both versions share the same folder location and executable?
Thanks, John

HI tallonjf,
There is no msi generated by Mozilla. This will have to to do with the installation configuration. Does it overwrite? Does it not? Overwritting will remove all existing profiles. However updating may not, but this is not something that I am an expert in. You can also try the enterprise mailing list that works with 24esr.
This may also be helpful, frontmotion does do this [http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/index.htm]

Software update scan cycle not pushed out to new clients

I have a very odd problem that I'm not fully understanding why it is happening. I have my SCCM server pushing out updates to my clients and it works just fine. The issue happens when I push out SCCM to a new client. Heres what happens as
far as updates go when I push SCCM out to a new client:
-Push out SCCM to client
-Client suddenly starts looking to Microsoft for Windows Updates
The only way I can get it to change its policy to look to my WSUS/SCCM server is to manually run the "Software updates scan cycle" job on the client. As soon as I do that then the clients Updates show it is manged by the systems admin, which
is what I want.
My question is why is this policy not pushed out by default as soon as I push out a new client? I shouldn't have to wait 7 days for the client to look back at the software policy before it updates because by then its already downloaded 100 new updates
from Microsoft, which I don't want. Does anyone else know how to fix this? Hopefully it all makes sense.

Yeah I tried to build my own custom client settings package and push it out with the client, but it still didn't change anything. I can get on the client before I push out the SCCM client to it and look at gpedit.msc and go to Comp Config > Admin
Temp > Windows Components > Windows Update > and it shows all fields are set to "Not Configured." Once I push the SCCM client to the client I can go back to that same location and check and all the fields are still set to "Not
configured." But when I manually go into that clients control panel and select Configuration manager > Actions tab > Software updates scan cycle > Run now, I can then go back into the gpedit and under windows Update the Specify intranet
Microsoft update service location will then have the FQDN of my SCCM/WSUS server in there so it works then, but for some reason its not doing that part automatically.

HT5548 I upgraded one of my programs and now the old and new both appear on launch pad, and I can't delete the old one. Is there a way I can do that?

I upgraded one of my programs and now the icons for both old and new appear on the launch pad. I don't need or want the old version to display, as it's been imported into the new one. I can't seem to figure out how to edit it off the launch pad.

Hi there,
More then likely, the old version was installed independently from the App Store. The article below goes over the process for removing these application.
OS X Lion: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph4524
To uninstall other apps, drag the app to the Trash (the Trash is located at the end of the Dock), and then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, and then choose File > Put Back.Warning: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your computer. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.
Hope that helps,

Hi bodeboni!
You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Pushing out MSI's via GPO for Windows 8.1

I'm having an issue trying to push Flash Player 13 MSI via GPO to Windows 8.1 machine. It pushes out fine to windows XP pro and windows 7 pro. I know the GPO works, just not for 8.1. I've don't gpupdate /force and still nothing.
Has anyone else had any issues with this? Is there something I'm missing for 8.1 MSI deployment via GPO?
THANKS!

Cannot upgrade or delete existing versions of iTunes and apple software

I keep getting an error message:
Error getting file security:
C:\ProgramData\3BE82C4-E596-4e99-A191-52C6199EBF69\GetLastError:5
I cannot upgrade or delete existing versions - the Apple software installer seems to be the problem, but I can't find the file above and delete or uninstall it. I've tried uninstaller programs.
Can anyone help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
I would try manually deleting the folder: C:\ProgramData\34BE82C4-E596-4e99-A191-52C6199EBF69

I purchased an upgrade standalone version of LR and yet the app indicates I have a trial version and I must remain logged into my account. It looks like I was given the CC version. Yes?

I spoke with a sales person requesting the upgrade standalone version of LR 6.0 - NOT the CC version. I received the email, clicked the link and downloaded LR. After installing LR, a message on the main screen indicates I have so many to register my application even though I entered my new license number AND I must remain logged into my Adobe account or LR will be deactivated. It looks like I was given the CC version any way. Is this true? or am I missing something?

Audio drops out when scrolling playlists after upgrading new version of 9.2

Hi Folks,
Has anyone noticed an issue when scrolling the playlists in Itunes now that the audio drops out for a second.
I use an external USB audio device by Native Instruments called the Audio Kontrol 1.
I have watched the processes on my PC and when I scroll up and down on the playlist. Something spikes causing audio to not play for a second.
I am hoping to fix this somehow as I do not want to roll back (not even sure if you can). I also have heard with dual core processors that occasionally audio can get stopped as other processes take over where in single core processors everything cued up (any truth to that).
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much X & Paul, for your suggestions. Although they didn't solve the problem, they kept me hopeful enough to continue my quest for an answer. After exhausting all effort to find the problem in the audio, I decided to focus on the video. So, I tried correcting the excess luma on the consolidated QT movie, and suddenly the problem was fixed. Because of the different levels of correction I'd need for each and every cut in the original sequence, and the precious time it would take, I'd planned to save it for the color correction stage, a mere 2 weeks away. I remembered how illegal white would often cause the image on some monitors, specifically consumer TVs, to waver for a second. But this was happening all the way back to the DV deck's audio meter, so I never expected it to be a luma issue.
I assume that the outdating capacity of my G4 played a part, but I wanted to write back with my thanks, and to impart my illuminated wisdom to the next perplexed soul.
Thanks again,
jesterhead

MSI CR52-A2 Firmware upgraded ( MR!!! and better media support )

Here is a solution for many people's problems with slow burning CR52-A2
Thanks to clarkkent57
I found this -
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=15157&highlight=msi
which suggests the CR52-A2 is the same drive as the optorite CW5205.
http://www.optorite.com/firmware.htm is the firmware page.
I just finished flashing my drive with the following.
CW5205(52x24x52) 190E017_cw5205.zip 2003.9.2
My New Optorite CW5205 has Mt. Rainer support.
It also recognizes all brands of media at the correct speed.
For the very first time, in more than a year of owning MSI 48x or 52x CDRW,
I was able to burn a CD at more than 32x.
It burned a CD at 52x without any problems.
Personally I don't recommend that anyone update firmware unless absolutely necessary.
Updating Firmware with a different companies firmware's is generally a BIG no no.
It worked for me, and has worked for other people, but you take a risk of making your hardware into a paperweight.
OPTORITE managed to updated their drives FOUR MONTHS AGO!
Why hasn't MSI updated their firmware?
BTW,
Optorite also has an even new version 210e017.zip dated 2003.12.26
190E worked for me so I didn't bother trying the newer version.

Old thread but thought those with the drive might be interested.
I just flashed 210E017 and worked for me as well. Seems quicker in all operations.
Sweeet!

I have upgraded to version 8.0, and now every time firefox loads, it asks me to re-enable all of my add-ons. Why is this happening?

Once enabled, the add-ons load every time I run firefox, however when I reboot my system I am required to re-nable the add-ons again. I have read through a lot of your faq's and not found this issue raised anywhere.
The rest of my system remains relatively unchanged from before. (ie. I don't recall making changes to anything else that might affect the add-ons)

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

I upgraded to version FCE 4, and lost compressor??

I reinstalled compressor from my copy of studio 2, and still no compressor. What do I do?!?! Help!

Tom,
I tried exporting as a self-contained movie... I kept all markers. Then, I ran into thru compressor. When I imported into DVD SP 4, it could not import any markers. So, what's going on? I feel like I lost a lot of critical functionality.... I can not do without markers.

Push out login to student workstations from instructor's?

Hello. Can ZW be used in a classroom situation where the instructor wants to force all of the student workstations (which are booted up and waiting at the Novell login prompt) to login to a particular Novell account (the same one for all)?
We have a classroom that we want to double as an open lab, so open lab users need to be able to login to their own accounts, but the instructor wants to be able to log them all into a single generic account for class sessions, without having to walk around to every one of them and log them in by "hand".
If ZW can't do this, does anyone know of any product that can?
Thanks!

And this switch back and forth is happening literally on an hourly basis (class scheduled from 1-2, then open lab from 2-3, then another class from 3-4, etc.) so we can't be switching registry settings back and forth. That's why I'm looking for some kind of remote control solution that can push out the generic login on an as-needed basis, and when logged out at the end of the class, the workstations are back to normal Novell login.
It would be easier to do in ZCM by pushing out bundles that run on system boot prior to login and schedule it hourly or you can force it as required but lets get back to ZDM 7 as I know its not much help atm..
Just thinking outloud here.. if you can schedule NAL refresh on those workstations (either via Zenworks refresh which sometimes works or windows scheduler) and associate a scheduled NAL to the workstations to disable/enable it this should work as long as the users don't log off before the NAL runs.
So if an "open lab" user is using it and autoadminlogin is disabled, on the scheduled time NAL will refresh and the scheduled NAL will run enabling autoadminlogin (maybe throw an autorestart in there if class is meant to finish on the hour). Then it will restart and autologin as generic user for an hour then NAL runs to disable autologin and restart at login screen. The "open lab" user comes along and the process goes on. The only problem I can see is if noone logs in during an open lab session (while it is at login screen and autologin disabled) and then a class session starts, it will require the teacher to login as generic. The other is the security concern of not logging out straight after they leave.
This is only what I've thought up while typing but you might be able to use or modify it to your requirement.
