Windows Installer SourceList Update Cycle : How it works?

Windows Installer SourceList Update Cycle : How it works?
Regards, Firoz Ahmad (Cheeeeeerrrrssssss)

Hello,
Windows Installer Source List Update Cycle causes the Product Source Update Manager to complete a full update cycle. When you install an application using Windows Installer, those Windows Installer applications try to return to the path
they were installed from when they need to install new components, repair the application, or update the application. This location is called the Windows Installer source location. Windows Installer Source Location Manager can automatically search Configuration
Manager 2007 distribution points for the source files, even if the application was not originally installed from a distribution point.
Is very nice to use this features. The agent on the local computer will scan the registry. When he found a MSI product code that is define in SCCM, it will update the source for the MSI.

Every upgrade I've had to deinstall itunes and reinstall it to take. I deleted it this time and keep getting a windows installer package error. How do I fix this?

Every time I've had to upgrade itunes I get an error that states:
"There is a problem with this Microsoft Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.
Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
To get around this I've had to uninstall and reinstall itunes which worked just fine. This time I unistalled it and it will not install at all now.
Ever install meets the same error as the above. I've deleted the temp files as they've suggested but with no luck. There doesn't seem
to be a really good answer out there for this issue after doing some research. Most of it appears out of date or too techy for me too follow.
Anyone have some simple advice a lay person could use to fix this issue?

See Uninstall here > http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
You are only replacing the Application.. so the Library should be fine...
Having said that... it is Prudent to Always have at least One Current Backup of your Precious Music... 2 is better...
So...Before doing Any Upgrade or Reinstall...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive...

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
My question is at the end.
Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves 95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting, etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand. (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
13. Bingo! That install works.
14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
   before
     lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
   after
     lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
(that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
Save the file.
18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version, not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
And finally my
** QUESTION **
Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this, but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my limitied java skill set, to make this decision.
Thanks in advance!!
Byron

Hi Byron,
Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
#java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
Note there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
HTH, Carl.

Error in windows installer

Am trying to register my new iPhone 3Gs and downloaded the iTunes Windows Installer 64bit and it did not finish executing as it comes up with error saying there is a problem with the Windows Installer. does anyone know how to overcome this issue?

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Files in use - Windows Installer

Vista 64 bit IE9 office 2007 - downloaded the trial version files of Acrobat X Pro went to install and and received this message: "Files in use - The following applications are using files that need to be updated by this setup. Close these applications and click retry. If retry is not successful please restart your computer and then run set up again - windows installer (process id 2488)" How do I stop this application?

Rob,
There is no quicktime folder there. And no quicktime program is installed when I try to install iTunes. The only reason I tried installing quicktime in standalone was because the itunes install was not actively going to the quicktime part of its installation.
I've tried removing everything and only installing iTunes. But even after deleting the physical files, using the WIndows Install cleanup tool, and cleaning up my registry, the quicktime portion of the iTunes install doesn't complete, and I keep getting "unknown" errors from the crash prevention program, and from what I can see it's because there's no physical Quicktime program installed.
As for other accounts, no I cannot start it up with other accounts, I keep getting the "Unknown" error and there is no physical files for quicktime anywhere.
And selective startup doesn't seem to work as there is NO qttask option when I run selective startup.
So, I seem to be out of options, and thing else I could try?

Windows Installer-Urgent Help Needed

After I installed Windows XP Home Edition, I inserted my Leopard CD. Whenever I try to open the Autorun, the following message appears:
*This package requires a newer version of Windows Installer. Do you want to update the version of Windows Installer on your system?*
After I click 'Yes', the following message appears:
*The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing.*
I click OK, and then the installer quits. Is there a way to install the newest version of Windows installer, and if not, how do I return to my Mac OS X Leopard?

It sounds like the three of you installed XP without service pack 2. Try this:
From Mac OS download service pack 2 from Microsoft and save it onto a flash drive--which I assume will work in Windows even without the Apple drivers--or (provided you burn using a standard format, not Apple's HFS!) burn it to a CD (it looks like it is 266MB). Then boot into Windows and install service pack 2 by inserting the flash drive or CD and double clicking on the exe. Once service pack 2 is done installing, the apple drivers should be willing to install.

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!

Miix 2 10" Windows 8.1 Update 1 - no issues so far

Hi,
just stopping by to inform others about my experience on Windows 8.1. Update 1 (official one, not the one leaked a while ago).
Installation went just fine, completed in about or less than 30 minutes. I lost about 1-2GB of storage with that update but managed to reclaim most of that by invoking cleanup procedures later on (DISM + Disk Cleanup).
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded /hidesp
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase
No issues with functioning so far. Tablet is responsive and working as normal.
This update is planned to hit Windows Update next Tuesday.
Tomas

The leaked one (leaked by Microsoft itself, via Windows Update) is the same exact build as the one you installed.
That said, being a user of the leaked build, I can confirm that Windows 8.1 Update 1 is also working fine on the Yoga 2 Pro. This statement comes after ~1 month of testing. The only thing I noticed is that the new update makes the adaptive brightness more evident and more annoying. There is no way to turn it off....and no, I am not talking about the adaptive brightness based on the sensor. This adaptive brightness is based on the display. If you go from a dark image to a light, you will see the screen adjust from a dim to a bright background. Kinda like flux.

C:\Window\Installer\Data1.cab error

I tried to install Adobe Acrobat to be able to edit PDF documents. At about the 62% point in the installation of the program an error message appeared and halted the install. The message had this..."C:\Windows\Installer\Data1.cab". How do I fix this?

uninstall pse 10 (properly using the adobe uninstaller).

I keep getting a message that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." when I try to download iTunes 10.5. So I can't update it. How can it be fixed?

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.

Trying to download update to iTunes in Vista but get Windows installer error. How do I update?

Trying to download update to iTunes but get Windows Installer error. How do I correct?

many thanks.
"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."
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

How can I remove Apple Software update from Programs in Control Panel. I grt a message that there is an error in Windows Installer Package?

I get this message: "A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

HP 7210 all in one printer installation error on windows 8.1 update

We recently got updated by Microsoft from windows 8 to 8.1. After that time, the scanning function did not work as it did before and the HP menu utility was different. I went through the HP Info service and it said the printer software was not fully functional. I then was told to download the latest hp install software for the 7210, which I did for windows 8/8.1. The install stops with a fatal MCI error code 1935. I then went to the troubleshooting guide for error codes (the example box shows almost an identical error message to mine) but it only shows windows XP, Vista, and 7.0. There is no troubleshooting guide for windows 8 or 8.1 with this code. I then followed the "HP Solutions for Install Errors (Windows 8.0 and 8.1) and performed all the tasks. I updated windows to current and same error. I then shut off all startup services and got the same error. I am now out of idea's or help.
The printer has been great and we have had no problem with it since we've owned it. At this time we are without a printer completely because the install process removed the previous installed software.
Forgot to mention this is using USB connection, but the install never gets far enough to ask me to connect it, so it really doesn't matter.
Any advice would be extremely welcome.
Thank you
Joe

Download the software and choose to save as, save to desktop > AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe
After the software downloads and extracts, open the temp folder again, use the instructions from step 1.
Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
Open folder Util
Open folder CCC
If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
