February 25, 200521 yr hi everybody,after being a long time read-only user, i now have a problem which i can't fix.I have created a ACDSee.mft with "WISE InstallTailor", which works fine when i run it on my workstation. But when i run it in VMWare from the file RunOnce.cmd like this:ACDSeePowerPack.msi TRANSFORMS=ACDSeePowerpack.mft /qn"the installer always complains about the mft not being in the right place or being corrupt. When WinXP is installed, an i try to run it from the console, it gives me the same error. But if i run it without the mft, deinstall it, then it works fine unattended...?What could be he problem here? I'm a little lost with this..
February 25, 200521 yr Author yeah, sry for the typo, i got the right extension, but that has nothing to do with the error i get.The weird thing is, after installing and deinstalling ACDSee manually, the command from the first post works flawless.
February 25, 200521 yr Uninstall acdsee from your system and try making a new mst. I don't know why you're experiencing that problem.use acdsee.msi transforms=acdsee.mst /qn
February 26, 200521 yr Author hi again,thx for the tip, found out, that only uninstalling the existing copy (what the Installtailor forces to do) isn't enough.So i created the mst within the vmware-environment where it didn't work before and voila.. now it works fine.
February 26, 200521 yr Check this out. This is to help you install msi's. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=38802
March 1, 200521 yr Author hi again,thx for that link, but i know how msi's are installed. Looked like the trouble was a dirty uninstall of acdsee, so that the msi was generated different (so that it worked only on the actual but not on the clean winxp).
