ZFDAgent.msi installer locks up during install

I have some laptops (Compaq 6715b laptop and a Macbook Pro) that during the install the zfdagent.msi installer process freezes. This happens on multiple different laptops of the above varieties. Hardware/memory test fine on them. Verified windows xp sp3 is fully updated & OEM drivers are the latest, even tried latest vendor specific drivers for nic/video/etc. Date on the zfdagent.msi is 9/15/09, so it should be the one from ZDM7SP1IR4_HP1.zip. No previous version of zfdagent currently installed.
Seems to work fine on other laptops & desktops, just the above are giving this issue.
Included is a zip of the installer log produced by
Novell Documentation
Any thoughts? Thank you.

Same issue with the zfdagent.msi in ZDM7SP1IR4_HP2!
I notice there are a slew of msiexec.exe running in the background, and if I
kill one of them (usually the smaller of the two run by SYSTEM) the install
completes.
Same story about killing the smaller system msiexec.exe when *uninstalling*.
Also, just tried to replicate this on my xpsp3/ie8/allupdated vmware
workstation 7 vm....it installed without issue as it should.....

  • Creative cloud installer just disappears during install

    I had creative cloud and on last update most of the applications are gone along with the desktop icon.
    I have tried to install creative cloud again - but it just stops halfway and disappears during install.
    I've tried safe mode install
    Ive renamed OOBE folders in both librarys
    I've tried the adobe application manager and that crashes on install
    I've tried the Adobe clean up tool
    Nothing is working to get creative cloud to reinstall on the computer - I've lost about 4 applications in creative cloud
    Working on a Mac - Yosemite OS

    Hi!  The cleaner failed - simply could not detect any creative cloud products. ( It did find a previous CS6 installation, long since uninstalled, actually).
    Didn't get a chance to try ROOT, as an Adobe tech (Loveneesh) remoted in and did some 'known fixes'... basically he cleaned up the failed CC desktop installation ( deleted a couple of folders) - and then gave "wide open" permissions to a couple of sets of library folders ( One for machine, and one for user). I believe they were
    /library/application support/
    /library/application support/Adobe/
    /users/[username]/library/application support/
    /users/[username]/library/application support/Adobe/
    Still couldn't install CC desktop, (failed twice!) BUT that at least allowed  the installation of "Adobe App Manager" - which was subsequently UPGRADED to CC Desktop. Something of a clever workaround, if you ask me!
    And now its all working OK again.
    I'm a bit bothered by the somewhat cavalier ""Everybody" permissions applied to library folders, but as I understand this is the quick fix when nobody quite knows what the heck is going on with permissions... (I suppose ROOT access gives much the same effect for installations)

  • Lock up during install on WIN2K Advanced Server

    I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition ver. 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 advanced server. When I try to install using the Universal Installer it locks up about 20% of the way through, with no error message. Is anybody aware of any known issues. Please Help.
    Thank you

    Oops, that was 512Meg , not 512K...
    I've downloaded the 9.0.1 zip 9iFS_90110.zip (105,219,938 bytes)
    and tried to install on 2 separate servers with no success.
    I follow the install instructions:
    "1. Launch the Oracle Universal Installer from the CD, located
    in the following
    path:
    <CD-ROM>\install\win32\setup.exe "
    ..but nothing happens. There is a brief flurry of activity of
    the drive, but nothings shows up in the Windows Task List and it
    absolutely doesn't start... on either server. One is 512K which
    might be tight but the other is 1G ram which ought to be
    sufficient.
    I can find no log entries or error messages.
    The only anomoly I can see is that the downloaded zip file is
    102,754 KB, not the 105,219,938 bytes advertised.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi kensb!
    I would recommend that you attempt to reinstall all of the programs and components of iTunes on your machine and reinstall everything again. It can be tricky to get everything uninstalled, so we have an article that can help you make sure you uninstall everything:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Specifically, when it comes to uninstalling, you will want to uninstall applications in this order:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
    You will then want to follow the links in those articles to download the latest package of iTunes software for your computer and install again from there. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • PowerPoint add-in is not working when installed for All Users using msi installer.

    Hi All,
    I have created PowerPoint add-in using c#-vsto. I have created msi installer to install this add-in with following two options:
    1. Just me
    2. Everyone
    However, add-in is not working properly (Events and custom task panes are not working). 
    I have created registry key as below
    1. for "Everyone" : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
    2. for Just me : HKPU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Powerpoint\Addins\MyAdd-in
    But when I set InstallAllUsersVisible property to False (When add-in is installed only for current user ), then add-in works fine for current user.
    Please let me know if anything is missing!!!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Office, the issue is more related to develop the add-in, you'd better post your question to the MSDN forum for VSTO
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=vsto&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Issues with Shockwave 11.5.2.602 / 11.5.6.606 MSI installer

    <UPDATE 8/3/09> Nearly all of the issues mentioned below are still present in the MSI installer for 11.5.6.606 - the only one that Adobe have fixed is the one where the MozillaPlugins 'Version' value is left blank by the MSI by default - this is now created correctly, but all of the other issues remain.
    Personally I have given up trying to use this MSI package to deploy Shockwave until Adobe get their act together - instead I am using a wrapper to wrap the Shockwave executable inside an MSI file and deploying it that way, although this is not ideal.
    I have created an MST file which will fix the MSI installer for version 11.5.6.606, which I will post to another forum shortly, but I am not planning to keep it updated for future versions as I don't really have the time.
    Hi,
    I've tried submitting the following via the Adobe Customer Support portal and via the Feature Request/Bug Report form, but the first told me that I needed to 'get in touch with Adobe Enterprise Solutions team for getting help' and that 'to get in touch with them you have to purchase a contract', and the second resulted in a bounced email address saying that '[email protected]' 'does not exist at the organization this message was sent to'.
    In short, attempting to contact Adobe to report issues with their installers sucks, and I am posting this here in the vain hope that someone at Adobe might read this message and possibly forward it to the relevant people. Some of the issues have already been reported here on this forum, but some of them are new, and I guess others might be interested in them too.
    Hi,
    I would like to report some issues with most recent version of the Shockwave installer, available in MSI format from the following location:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?k=4E6102EB-DA7C-2795-C744826EFDE2A098&l oc=en_us
    This is the installer for version 11.5.2.602, with a digital signature dated 06 November 2009 10:52:21
    When downloading this version of the installer in Windows Installer (MSI) format, the following issues manifest themselves, most of which are not a problem when using the Full EXE installer available from the same page.
    First of all, when installing the MSI file using Group Policy Software Deployment, if you log on to the computer after the MSI file has been deployed and view a web page that contains Shockwave content, you receive the following errors in the Windows event log:
    Event Type: Warning

    If you are logged on as an Administrator, then the computer will immediately attempt to 'repair' the Adobe Shockwave Player installation in order to create the missing folder 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\Adobe\', which leads to a significant delay in the initialization of the Shockwave content on the web page. If you are logged on as a non-Administrator, the errors will still appear, but the 'repair' operation will fail due to insufficient permissions to create the above folder.
    I have done some testing and it seems as if this problem can be easily resolved by removing the code from the installer which tells it to create an empty folder in the 'Application Data' folder called 'Adobe\Shockwave Player 11'. This code seems to be entirely unnecessary, as no files are created inside this folder as part of the installation, and I have removed it successfully from my own copy of the MSI without it causing any issues. I have found some other people who are also experiencing this problem in the following forum post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 8)
    and since this 'repair' operation causes all customised registry settings to be reset back to defaults as part of the repair, it would be very helpful if this 'feature' could be removed from future versions.
    Secondly, there are a number of registry keys which are created incorrectly by the MSI installer when the above 'repair' operation takes place, which need to be corrected to prevent further issues from occurring:
    Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1F3CB77D-D339-49e0-B8E4-FECD6D6F8CB8}\LocalServer32]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE"
    (Please note that there is a double quotation mark at the end of the value, but not at the beginning)
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe"
    According to a forum post (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350, post 15), this causes DCOM errors when Shockwave is launched, if the MSI 'repair' has taken place as described above.
    The above registry value should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table:
    "[INSTALLDIR]Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe"
    so that the MSI installer works the same as the executable one.
    Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6EF568F4-D437-4466-AA63-A3645136D93E}\1.0\0\win32]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
    Adobe\SHOCKW~1\SWHELP~1.EXE
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe
    Also, under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{6EF568F4-D437-4466-AA63-A3645136D93E}\1.0\HELPDIR]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
    Adobe\SHOCKW~1\
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\
    Once again, the above registry values should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue:
    [SystemFolder]Adobe\Shockwave 11\SwHelper_1152602.exe
    [SystemFolder]Adobe\Shockwave 11\
    Under '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000}]', the 'default' value is NOT SET by the MSI by default:
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    Shockwave ActiveX Control
    This value should be set in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
    Under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\common]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
    Macromed\common\
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\common\
    Also, under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\coreplayer]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
    Macromed\Shockwave 10\
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\
    Also, under '[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\location\coreplayerxtras]', the 'default' value is set to the following by the MSI:
    Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
    The above registry values should be set to the following in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue:
    [SystemFolder]Macromed\common\
    [SystemFolder]Macromed\Shockwave 10\
    [SystemFolder]Macromed\Shockwave 10\xtras\
    The MSI installer does not create '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dcr]', '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dir]', or '[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dxr]'
    Wherease the executable installer creates all three of these keys and populates them all with the following 'default' value:
    "Content Type"="application/x-director"
    These keys and values should be set in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
    The MSI installer creates a value under the following registry key:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OptionalComponets\SwDi r]
    However this registry key is obviously misspelt (missing an 'n' in 'OptionalComponets') and should read as follows:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OptionalComponents\SwD ir]
    This key name needs to be changed in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue (also pointed out in the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 10)).
    Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer], the 'Version' value is left blank by the MSI by default:
    Whereas the executable installer creates the value as follows:
    1152602
    This registry value should be set to the correct version in the installer's Registry table to fix the issue.
    Finally, the MSI installer creates a number of registry values under the following path:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer\Mime Types]
    These values are *in addition* to the values created under the following path:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/ShockwavePlayer\MimeTypes]
    (Note there is no space between 'Mime' and 'Types' in the second key path)
    The executable installer *only* creates registry keys under the 'MimeTypes' key, and it seems as if this is the correct formatting for the key (also pointed out in the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2379350 (post number 11)).
    The unnecessary 'Mime Types' registry keys and values should be removed from the installer's Registry table to avoid any potential issues.
    I am sorry that this is such a long list, but it seems as if a number of things have been changed in the transition from 11.5.1.601 to 11.5.2.602, and it would be very helpful if these changes could be put back to how they were before, so that the MSI and the executable installers function in the same way as much as possible.
    Message was edited by Borgquite - added 11.5.6.606 update

    Have posted an updated version of the MST to my webspace here:
    http://homepage.ntlworld.com/minkus/shockwave/shockwave115606mst2.zip
    This new version fixes the following issues (changes to this version in bold):
    MsiInstaller repair & errors on first run as non-admin (removes 'AppData' directory entries)
    DCOM errors once Shockwave is installed (adds double quotes to the beginnning of LocalServer32 value)
    Incorrect TypeLib paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
    Default CLSID description value missing (set to 'Shockwave ActiveX Control', as per the executable installer)
    Incorrect Shockwave 10 paths in the registry (fixed to use built-in [SystemFolder] property)
    Misspelt 'OptionalComponets' registry key (renamed to 'OptionalComponents')
    Missing .dcr, .dir, .dxr Content Type registry values (included in the executable installer)
    Fixed incorrect AppID registry key (set to use installer's [VERSION] variable)
    Removed 'Launch SWDNLD.exe' shortcut created in Programs subfolder (people don't want this - see here)
    I have tested this on my network and it all seems to work fine. Unfortunately my original plan to use the executable installer didn't work out as it does not include the Shockwave 10 compatibility components described here and here, so it looks like I'll have to keep this MST file up to date with the latest versions until Adobe fix the problems themselves...
    If you want to see the changes that I have made, load up Adobe's 11.5.6.606 MSI file in Orca, then use Transform / Apply Transform to apply the MST, and look for the entries in green.
    Please post any feedback to this thread, and I will try to respond if I can help!

  • Getting error 1603 during install

    I'm getting the following error during install of Acrobat Pro from the cloud:

    Also I can't uninstall my old Acrobat 9 Standard version. Get error there too!

    Hi j.danner,
    Please use the Acrobat Cleaner tool (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs)
    to remove the current and the older version of the software completely and then reinstall and check.

  • Error 2869 in Vista during install of Dev Env 1.3

    If you try to install the version 1.3 of the Developer Environment on Vista, there is a change you may get an error 2869 during install.
    This has to do with the UAC in Vista and requires some special handling when creating the installer package.
    I don't know if this will reach the developers at SAP, but here is some references to how to handle the problem:
    How to make the installer package correctly:
    http://www.shahine.com/omar/VSTOAddinsAndVista.aspx
    How to get better error codes than 2869:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/mshneer/archive/2007/03/02/windows-installer-fails-on-vista-with-2869-error-code.aspx
    For users, again depending on your UAC (User Access Control) settings, this MAY help you.
    Create a .bat file with this content:
    @ECHO OFF
    ECHO.
    ECHO Installing on Vista
    ECHO.
    ECHO Be sure you are running this as Administrator!
    ECHO.
    PAUSE
    ECHO.
    ECHO.
    CD C: ... path to ... B1DESetup_2005SP01_1.3_VS2005
    msiexec /i "B1DESetup.msi"
    ECHO DONE
    ECHO.
    ECHO If this didn't work you may have to disable UAC in Vista while installing
    PAUSE
    Save it.
    Right click the .bat file and select "Run as Administrator"
    If this doesn't help you may need to disable UAC while installing.

  • Flash Player .MSI installation Windows 7 64bit Permissions Issue

    I have published the latest Flash Player MSI to my Companies Active Directory, I have enabled users to install applications that are controlled by the windows Installer "Always Allow Application Installation" GPO setting in Computer and User.
    I have not had any issues with other published applications such as Chrome, Firefox.
    Both of the MSI files (Plugin and IE) versions both kick back with insufficient privelages.
    Downloaded from: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    What I have tried (failed results):
    run the installer as a domain admin
    run as locally created admin
    run in elevated mode
    Removed all UAC Settings
    Suggestions?

    Many thanks for this!   I managed to install the Flash Player with this successfully after many failed attempts before.
    Thanks again

  • Msi-installation: no distribution-script window

    Hello together
    When installing a simple application a window is showed "running pre-/post-distribution script" with a progress bar. When installing a msi-application it seems that this window isn't being showed at all - only the progress-window during the msi-installation.
    I'm running a long task in the pre-distribution script (uninstallation of the previous version). During the runtime of the pre-distribution script nothing is showed, so the user could think that nothing is going on and getting nervous... ;-)
    I don't expect to have an output of my distribution script, just the usual distribution-script-window.
    Am I doing something wrong, is it a bug or is the only way to prevent this behaviour to create a simple application that is run before the msi-installation?
    Using Zenworks 7.0.1.4
    kind regards,
    Stefan

    dtMsgBox is a good idea, but has a strange gui. I would rather place it in the center of the screen in this case than at the top and would like to change its outfit (text, color, ...).
    I'd prefer if zenworks would behave in installing msi-packages as it does with simple applications.

    Really I am sick of your poor software.
    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option).
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
    Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.
