Srowi Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 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..

totoymola Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I think you mean mst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srowi Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 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.

totoymola Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srowi Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 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.

Srowi Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 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).
