Trouble installing a *.msi file on a folder using Windows 7

I'm having trouble installing a *.msi file created under Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2005 on a Windows 7 machine. The problem occurs when I attempt to provide a directory for installation, but the installation wizard always defaults to the C: root
folder. I can always move the created files and folders from the *.msi wizard to a directory of my choosing and run the tool
successfully. But, I'm confused has to why the *.msi wizard always defaults to the C: root.
I have tried running the *.msi file in administrative mode using the various published methods but none of those methods are made available, in fact they are all disabled. I.e. right click the *.msi file has a disabled "Run as Administrator"
option. The properties under the *.msi file to "Run As Administrator" is also disabled. And running the *.msi file under msiexec as also proven
unsuccessful.

Hello Marco,
From your description, this issue is related with the .msi file, i am afraid it is beyond the scope of our support, this current forum is used to discuss and ask questions about .NET Framework Base Classes (BCL) such as Collections, I/O, Regigistry, Globalization,
Reflection. My suggestion is that you could post this feedback to its owner.

Use msiexec to remotely install an .msi file accross the network

I'm trying to install an .msi file via group policy but am not having any success. How can I install an .msi file onto computers accross the network using the msiexec command instead of psexec? I'm using this scriptwith psiexec below to no avail,
I'm running the script as domain admin and the everyone, domain users and domain computer security groups all have ntfs full control permissions to the share folder and co-owner permissions
to the share. I can also install the package manually and reach the share from the computer using
\\servername\share
C:\Users\hrice>psexec \\10.1.20.164 -u abc\admin -p password!! msiexec /i "\\abc-fs\comp

Doesn't matter, you wanted to use group policy to assign the MSI over the network anyways, right.

* 1 - Click the Windows "Start" button and type "gpedit.msc" and press "Enter." This is the shortcut command to open the group policy editor.
* 2 - Double-click the "Computer Configuration" icon to expand some options. Click "Software Settings." Right-click "Software Configuration" and select "New Package" to open a "New Package" wizard.
* 3 - Click the "Open" button and point to the location of your MSI file. This can be on a network drive, or on the network server. Click "Open" to save the location.
* 4 - Click the "Assigned" option and click "OK." The "Assigned" option assigns it to network users. You can disable the package in the future by editing the group policy properties and removing this check box.
* 5 - Click "OK" to save your package. The new package is shown in the details pane and it takes effect the next time your users log in to the network.

How to install the msi file for tax return

i am having problem installing the msi file.

The short answer is that they don't support anything but Windows.
http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/73931.htm
You would have to use Bootcamp and install Windows or install an emulator like Parallels and then install Windows into the Parallels emulator.
It probably won't do any good but you could file a complaint with them over their choice to only support Windows.

Trouble installing vz access manager on a gateway nv5207 windows 7 64-bit operating system

I am having trouble installing vz access manager on a gateway nv5207 windows 7 64-bit operating system. It will load the windows generic broadband drivers and the verizon wireless fimware updates and then it will do a search for previous versions of vz manager and it will just stay stuck on that part of the installation. I had cricket wireless broadband on here and uninstalled it and installed vz manager and it worked for a minuet, but it start acting up again. So from that point I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall everything with the same problem.. Even after I cleaned up the registry....thanks in advance for anyone that can help me out.

What's the precise text of the error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Itunes wont inport anythig it show listings but comes up with error ocurred while converting (song title ) the required file cannot be found using windows 8

itunes wont inport anythig it show listings but comes up with error ocurred while converting (song title ) the required file cannot be found using windows 8

iTunes cannot convert protected WMA tracks. There may also be problems if it can't get full access permissions. What exactly are you trying to do when the error occurs?

Guys, I been in the business working on PC and MAC for years. So I am not green at this, I was looking for some kind of option to get past the boot loader.. Which is failing.
I know how to boot into these modes.. Done tons of research before posting and couldn't find anything.
It will not go into Internet Recovery, or any thing else. I hear the sound .. then that is it.. I get nothing else..
I have tried clearing the NVRAM which is Option + Command + P + R
Still nothing..
So I thought I would try here to see if maybe there was some trick out there someone might know of that would work.
What else guys? I am hitting th keys right..

I have an Acrobat 8 which is all I need. Installed on my new computer which is using Windows 8. Each time I open Acrobat I get a window that say unable to registrator. It gives me three options try again, redo, never register. No matter which option I choose I cannot stop the window from opening each time I open the computer.
Any suggestions?

Probably far too old to register. Sounds like a bug, stopping the "never" selection from working. You may be stuck with it.

Control panel error when installing from MSI file with JRE 7 update 21

When I install JRE from the MSI file that I get from the user folder I get an error then I try to start Java Control Panel. Java applications works ok but I cant start the Control panel. If I uninstall Java and install it by executing the offline exe file the installation works fine and the control panel also works.

Yes same problem here. I had a successful rollout with the MSI package and version 1.7 Update 17 on 1500 computers!
I packaged the Update 21 and on my first test-clients the control panel crashes when I try to open it. But the setup ends successful without any error code all eventviewer entries are successful and it seems that the environment is running. Firefox plugintest was successful.
Why doesn't offer Orcale the MSI files?! Since last year Java cost me o lot of time deploying Java. There is no update which you can release quickly because there are always bugs to deploy them.

How to Uninstall Crystal Reports installed via .msi file

Post Author: epowers0213
CA Forum: General
Hello,
We are installing crystal reports on some clustered servers using the CRRedist2005_x86.msi so that a web application which uses Crystal Reports will run properly. (Visual Studio is not installed on these servers.)
If there is any problem caused by running the CRRedist2005_x86.msi program, how could we back out the installation/uninstall this version of Crystal Reports? Our server administration group wants me to provide an "uninstall program" just in case running the .msi file causes problems for any of the other applications on the server. However, I have not been able to find any information on this on the Business Objects web site (apart from some manual uninstall directions).
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance!

XMI is XML with a specified format.
Looking at the XMI format definition for the XML, it doesn't appear if it will automatically be consumed by Crystal.
Crystal expects relational, rather than hierarchial, data - so you'd need to find a way of exposing the data within XMI as a relational dataset.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Java does not update older version when installing from MSI file

I'm using an MSI file of Java because it's easier for deploying through SCCM. Anyway when I do everything works fine except it does not update older versions of Java. So for instance if I have Java 7 update 7 and install Java 7 update 21 using the MSI file I'll then have two versions of Java installed on my computer. Anybody know a way to install using the MSI file where it updates older versions of Java (as long as it's the same major revision) like the exe would?

Yes same problem here. I had a successful rollout with the MSI package and version 1.7 Update 17 on 1500 computers!
I packaged the Update 21 and on my first test-clients the control panel crashes when I try to open it. But the setup ends successful without any error code all eventviewer entries are successful and it seems that the environment is running. Firefox plugintest was successful.

Can't save files to Last Folder Used

I'm scanning items with a Kodak iQsmart3, running under Kodak's oXYgen 2.6.1 scan application. Late last week, the application suddenly stopped saving files to the last folder used. Now I have to re-select the destination folder for each scan.
I have rebooted the computer several times, and have also re-installed the scan application, but nothing helps the problem. It seems now that the problem may be with OS 10.4.11. I've searched and searched for a solution within the OS, but can't find anything that helps.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to proceed? Is there a place where you can check to see if the saving options can be changed?

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I did as you advised and still cannot save files to the last folder used, as I used to be able to do.
This is the first time in the 2 1/2 years I've been using this system that I've had any trouble with it. When I opened Disk Utility, it showed me the size and type of three different drives, all identical in manufacture. The first holds the Operating system, and the other two are set up in a Raid Striped set. I selected Macintosh HD under the name of the first drive, since that's the name of the disk on my desktop, and ran the Repair Permissions function, moving the recentitems.plist file to the desktop and rebooting, as per your instructions. Was that the proper area to use or should I have selected the disk description above that?
(Below is the disk information from the Disk Utility application)
Disk Description : Hitachi HDS725050KLA360 Media Total Capacity : 465.8 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes)
