To install multiple software in TS via variable list

Wanna ask, im planning to use the install multiple app using dynamic variable list in my TS to install all my software. I see that the prerequisites in the software package program have to select the "Allow this program to be installed from the Install
Package task sequence without being deployed". Do I have to update the package once I selected this option or don't need?

Search the Net and found someone who is using the variable value to refer to the software package name (like what im doing right now). Im using the Install Package task by selecting the "Install software packages according to dynamic list" option.
It says for packages need to put as below.
Baseline Variables: PackageIDs:   Program Name:    
Not sure how true is this, but if so, the variable that I should define in the collection is as below? Correct?
Name: HPPACKAGE01:ABC00001 (package id)
Value: DR - PRD - 3D DriveGuard (package name)

  • Installing new software on my MBA via AE

    I have a iMac that is connected directly to the newest AE via cable. I also am getting a new MBA that is free standing as well as getting the Office 2011 software.
    Simple question (hopefully a simple answer): how do I download/install the software (disk) onto my new MBA without screwing up Office 2008 on my iMac?
    TIA for your helpful answer.

    Thanks for your help.
    I guess I did not make myself clear enough in the question.
    How do I set up my two computers to recognize each other so that I can install software to my new MBA? Do they have to be physically connected or is the AE enough to connect them? Do I have to set up sharing on BOTH machines?
    I ONLY want the Office 2011 to be on my MBA; not on my iMac. I know I can install 2011 on and computer that has 2008 on it; they are two separate products.
    Once again, thanks!

    My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software.  I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while.  Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again.  I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month.  I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

    After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software.  However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007.  I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose.  AA8 has stopped printing to fax.  It faxes a blank page.  The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”.  My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago.  My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
    I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
    “No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
    or
    “The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”

  • How do I create multiple-up pages populated with variable data?

    I am trying to create a variable data Illustrator file but with a catch, I have to create multiple points of data on one artboard.  I am using a template with 36 identical shapes, and I'm trying to add a different image to each based off of using variable data.  I understand the premise of creating multiple output files based off of an illustrator file and data, but I have to create a single output file using 36 points of data, all QR codes.  The reason is that this 36-up 14.5" x 14.5" sheet will be printed on a large format inkjet and then be fed into another machine (not a cutter) that requires that specific layout for it's process.  I cannot create individual files, I need sheets based off of my 14.5" x 14.5" 36-up template.
    Any suggestions other than making each shape in the template a separate variable (even though they are all the exact same shape) would be greatly appreciated.
    My goal is to populate each of these shapes with a different QR code and then output the whole sheet as a single .EPS or .PDF file.

    My goal is to populate each of these shapes with a different QR code and then output the whole sheet as a single .EPS or .PDF file.
    You're barking up the wrong tree for this with Illustrator's Variables palette.
    Think of it like this:
    Imagine a typical spreadsheet with multiple rows of the same kind of data, except for the first row which serves as the "labels" of the columns.
    The on-page objects which you define as Variables in Illustrator correspond to the first row; the column labels.
    The datasets correspond to the following rows of values below the label row.
    Cycling through the datasets simply moves up and down the rows, revealing one row's data at a time for each of the column labels.
    Your multi-up array does not fit that data model. You are essentially trying to make a layout showing all the individual cells below the single label of one column (downward across all rows). (Illustrator's Variables feature doesn't even let you put multiple instances of a single variable in the document, so that the same value occurs in multiple places.)
    You're trying to build the functional equivalent of a typical "gang up" press sheet, like a 10-up layout of business cards, each showing the same kind of data (name, phone, etc.) for multiple employees, so that you don't have to do separate press runs for each employee. That's certainly a common need, and one quite appropriate to a program like Illustrator. But Illustrator's Variables feature does not do that.
    Essentially, what you are wanting to do is to replicate the basic functionality of any program which is used to print labels from data (like the typical mail merge function for address labels which are ganged up with some number of different labels on a page). What you want could be done in Illustrator via a custom JavaScript, but it would be a pretty silly exercise in reinventing the wheel. If it were me, I'd probably build the solution in FileMaker Pro (a database program), depending on the specific graphics requirements. However, you should be able to do it in InDesign, using its data merge feature.

  • Error 8062 when I try to copy or move files on my macbook: "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062)". Can even not install new software now!!

    Since a few days when I try to copy or move files on my macbook, I often get an error message saying "This operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -8062)". And then it just quits the copy or move.
    I searched a lot on the internet, but only found solutions for cases you cannot empty the trash due to this issue.
    I tried those solutions for my trash and that helped after some trying.
    However, I still have the problem with copying and moving files.
    I even cannot install new software now, as it has to copy itself to the programs-directory, and gives the same error-message.
    Who can help me??
    Cannot seem to find any info on it on the support-forums or elsewhere.
    My user-account is administrator, I use a 13" Macbook Aluminium (Late 2008). Mac OS X 10.6.8 CPU 2Ghz Intel Core Duo, RAM: 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

    Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
    - make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
    - do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
    - perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
    - make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
    - after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
    So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
    Still, I will go through the other tips too.
    (will post progress)

  • How do I install multiple KMS keys on one server?

    I currently am working at Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, MO and my question is: How do I install multiple KMS keys onto one server? This is very urgent and I have the KMS activating Windows 7 but, I also need all my Office keys, Windows
    8, and Windows 8.1  to be activated via KMS. the current KMS is a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Please help me out and thank you for your time! :)

    you need to apply the following update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2885698)to your KMS server so you can license up to Windows 8.1.  From there your key for 8.1/2012R2 will license everything
    downwards and then you can also install your Office KMS key without issue.  If its Office 2013 then you need to download the files here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35584) 
    Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.

  • How to install MSP on selected computers via GPO Startup VBscript

    Hi folks,
    I'm trying to write a vbscript that will run on startup and do the following:
    1) Detect whether or not a particular application is installed
    2) Determine if the latest version of said application is installed
    3) If not, run the MSP update from a server and apply the patch before login.
    I'm on a domain, and the script works when manually run from a command prompt.  I also have the script added to a test GPO under Computer Config>Windows Settings>Startup, but since this is my first real attempt at scripting, I'm not sure how to
    determine why the *.MSP file isn't running and get this working.
    Here's my code so far:
    Const HKLM = &H80000002 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    strComputer = "."
    strKey = "SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"
    strEntry1a = "DisplayName"
    strEntry1b = "QuietDisplayName"
    strEntry1c = "DisplayVersion"
    strEntry1d = "UninstallString"
    ' Set args = Wscript.Arguments ' Get Command Line Argument
    ' strVersion = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
    Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts://" & strComputer & "/root/default:StdRegProv")
    objReg.EnumKey HKLM, strKey, arrSubkeys
    intVersionNum="1.0"
    For Each strSubkey In arrSubkeys
    intRet1 = objReg.GetStringValue(HKLM, strKey & strSubkey, strEntry1a, strValue1)
    if intRet1 <> "" Then
    objReg.GetExpandedStringValue HKLM, strKey & strSubkey, strEntry1a, strValue1
    intCompare=StrComp("Adobe Acrobat XI Pro",strValue1,vbTextCompare)
    IF intCompare = 0 THEN
    objReg.GetExpandedStringValue HKLM, strKey & strSubkey, strEntry1c, intVersionNum
    END IF
    End If
    Next
    IF intVersionNum="1.0" THEN
    WScript.Quit 2 ' Not Found
    END IF
    intVersionCompare=StrComp("11.0.06",intVersionNum,vbTextCompare)
    IF intVersionCompare = 0 THEN ' Everything OK
    WScript.Quit 0
    ELSE ' Run Update
    Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.shell")
    oShell.run "msiexec.exe /update \\RedactedServer\gpo\Acrobat\AcrobatXIPro\AcrobatUpd11006.msp /quiet"
    WScript.Quit 1
    END IF
    Note: RedactedServer isn't a variable; I removed our servername.  Also, I'm reasonably certain there isn't a permissions issue because we use the \\RedactedServer\GPO\ to successfully deliver all of our MSI GPO updates.
    When I restart, it looks like the script starts to run(?), but the update isn't installed.  In the Application log, all I see is this:
    But, there's no follow-up entry indicating that it was successful or even completed.
    Ideally, I'd also like to be able to pass in a command line parameter from the GPO so I can update it without having to edit the script every time a new update comes out, but I'd prefer to run before I fly.
    Lastly, yes, the script is looking for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I'm aware I can slipstream the MSP into an AIP and push it that way, but I don't want to redeploy a 2.3 GB installation to each computer that needs an update every 3 months when this will
    accomplish the goal much quicker and more efficiently.
    Does anyone have ideas?  I've beat my head against this all day, and my search-fu doesn't seem to be helping me find the answers I need.
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Microsoft note that Office 2013 cannot be installed by Software Distribution.  The MSP you have is a patch file.  The script is a cleaner.
    I do not know what is waiting for what or what script you may be referring to.
    If you think it is fixed then good but I do not really understand what you are saying has worked.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Macbook won't install the software update from version 10.6.8

    Hi folks. I've tried this software update multiple times and now I find out that I can't extend my AppleCare warranty after it expires. So I'm hoping that someone else has had this problem. Basically the software update proceeds as usual, the computer restarts and just as you think everything is fine, the message 'There was a problem installing this software update. Quit all open applications and try updating again. If the problem contines, contact Apple support.' ANY help greatly appreciated. Many thanks

    Hi..
    See if you can download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    And make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • Error in installing Oracle Software while adding node in RAC

    Hi All
    Oracle Version: 11.1.0.6.0
    Linux
    In the RAC environment, I am in the process of adding a node to the existing rac environment.
    I have succssfully installed cluster software in the new node. all gsd, ons and vip services are running perfectly for new node in the existing and new nodes.
    Next step, I started installing oracle software by executing the script $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/addNode.sh.
    Here after specifying the the new node information (public host, private host and vip details) and when I pressed next,
    OUI is giving following error - "Error occured while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured".
    I ran olsnodes -n, it is giving proper node number.
    Can somebody help me in identifying the problem and solution.
    Thanks

    I am hitting the same issue, my problem was when I added the new node initially it fails because of the hint8-priv1. I followed the link below to remove and cleanup the last install. olsnode show only my existing nodes NOT including the new node.
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/rac.101/b10765/adddel.htm
    then I ran

    I am getting this when use command line:
    Error ocurred while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured.
    SEVERE:Error ocurred while retrieving node numbers of the existing nodes. Please check if clusterware home is properly configured.
    also run addNode.sh via GUI, the new node name still listed and can't continue.
    BTW, adding new node should support online, shutdown is not required

    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)

    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Can I install multiple instances of the Adobe PDF printer driver?

    Our application allows printing to be directed to different folders depending on the document to be printed.  However, the Adobe printer driver printing preferences directs the file to a specific location, so we have to store all documents in one folder.  Is it possible to have multiple instances of the printer driver, for instance Adobe PDF 1, Adobe PDF 2, with the output folder set to a different location for each driver, or is there a simpler way of specifying the output folders?
    Thanks

    (Instructions for XP Pro and Acrobat 8.0)
    Open the printers folder and click on Add a printer.
    Click Next on the Welcome screen
    Select 'Local Printer attached to this computer', uncheck Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer, click Next
    Click on Create a new port, select 'Adobe PDF Port' from the list, click Next
    Select the folder you want the PDF stored in, click OK
    On the Install Printer Software screen click on Have Disk
    Click on the Browse button and browse to 'Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\xtras\AdobePDF' (May be different for your setup)
    Select the AdobePDF.inf (English version) and click OK
    Select the Adobe PDF Convertor (there may be several listed, I always choose the top one) and click Next
    If the Use Existing Driver dialog is displayed select 'Keep existing driver' click Next
    Name the Printer i.e. Adobe PDF 1, click Next
    Set the sharing options, print a test page if you wish and finish.
    Now when you print to this printer from within an application it will create the PDF in the specified folder
    You can repeat this process for a number of outputs.
    Hope this helps

  • Finder will not open and cannot install new software

    Please help:-  Finder does not open when clicked from the dock - instead the desktop icons disappear and reappear.  If I try to install a downloaded piece of software (e.i. Firefox or Chrome or Silverlight) the same thing happens and the software install simply disappears.
    When I do Verify Disk - it's okay.
    Checking Disk Permissions reveals a number of 'issues' each of which claims to have bene 'modified and will not be repaired' such as -
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/at"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/atq"

    Warning SUID file "System/ry/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent"
    Warning SUID file "usr/libexec/security_authrampoline"
    Plus others ...
    Reparing Disk permissions has no effect.
    This started happening last week and seams to be getting worse - after reboot the problem continues.......

    Guys, thanks for the support and ideas:-
    Moving the /com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop and restarting clearly made a difference.  I then deleted the plist folder on my desktop, however, the problem has slowly returned.
    I did steps 1 & 2 suggested by Linc Davis above and;
    Step 1 - there was no evidence of the errors but with limited test capability as 'my downloads' folder was  empty - so I was unable to attempt an install.  The machine however did seam to run quicker and Folder opened just fine when asked.
    Step 2 - slower in Safe Mode and right-click failed to operate but Finder opened correctly each time.
    After re-start and connecting again my external stuff (HP Printer, TimeMachine HD, Duronic USB hub, HK Speakers - they've been attached from day 1) the problem is completely back as before the deletion of the /com.apple.finder.plist  The desktop goes 'off' (desktop icons disappear) and 'on' (they reappear) without an install being achieved or 'allowed'.
    Verify Disk is okay.  Disk permissions produce the same result as first posted above.  Repair Disk Permissions has same result as before.

    After years of suffering MS Windows gremlins I came to Mac on the advice of my brother but 18 months-in I find my Mac is acting as old Windows PC's did?  I think I'll bite the bullet and wipe and re-install my software.  Time machine should keep me right and I've backed-up my Downloads/docs/music/ to a second external.  iCloud holds my mail/calendar etc - so, that should be enough - yes?????  I appreciate all your help but do not want to waste people's time.
