T12 Msi Files Install Issue


Recommended Posts

I have noticed there exists a common phenomena after the install of some applications at T12 ,whose setup package are msi files.

That is, every time I uninstall them, a Window named "Windows Installer" pops up asking me to locate the install source and every time i re-execute the setup msi files for them the annoying thing happens as well. .(See the attached image below)

Those apps that have this weird phenomena are :

Winamp (Alanoll's msi edition)

Tuneup Utility 20004

Microsoft Applocale

Microsoft winxp powertoys

.....

As long as I install them at T12, such thing will occour .But if I install them from RunOnceEx or GUIRunOnce, no such problem occurs whenever I re-intall or uninstall them ,everything just works perfectly.

So , does anyone who install these at T12 has the same issue like mine?If you have and manage to solve it,please tell me how to do that.

any helps will be appreciated!

Well, any application that I install at that point, is don't with the intent of NOT uninstalling it, so I have not had that experience. However, there may be something in the application switches for caching a local coy, or perhaps you would be best off copying it to the hard drive, and uninstalling from there. Just what comes to mind ...

yes, you give me the point.I type msiexe /? and find the following
Repair Options

/f[p|e|c|m|s|o|d|a|u|v] <Product.msi | ProductCode>

  Repairs a product

  p - only if file is missing

  o - if file is missing or an older version is installed (default)

  e - if file is missing or an equal or older version is installed

  d - if file is missing or a different version is installed

  c - if file is missing or checksum does not match the calculated value

  a - forces all files to be reinstalled

  u - all required user-specific registry entries (default)

  m - all required computer-specific registry entries (default)

  s - all existing shortcuts (default)

  v - runs from source and recaches local package

i just tried the /fv switch and it seemed to be working. dunno how it will be going at T12, I will give it a try later.

thanks for your help
