RE: [ActiveDir] GPO Software Deployment

[Darren Mar-Elia]

So, I suspect what is happening here, based on that error, is the popup you're seeing is Windows Installer trying to repair the application but not finding the right files to do it. The Feature name, WIFEAT00000001, tells me the package was created using WinInstall--not very interesting. I suspect that the registry still contains references to the package. I would search the registry by the Product GUID, below, and get rid of all instances of it. Alternatively, you could try downloading and running the Installer Cleanup tool, found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/   Darren From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Rutherford Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 3:26 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GPO Software Deployment Hi Guys,   Thanks for the input but still no joy… nothing is showing in the logs and I don’t have the original package. The below is popping up in the event log though :-   Event Type:      Warning Event Source:   MsiInstaller Event Category:            None Event ID:          1001 Date:                16/05/2006 Time:                11:20:21 User:                domain\username Computer:         compname Description: Detection of product '{5C3FD7C5-92BD-47A1-B5EE-52E71A1C2B82}', feature 'WIFEAT00000001' failed during request for component '{500ED4E4-1352-4AF6-8FE3-21EFFBC7B34D}'   Does this jog any memories for anyone? I think I’m just going to have to get the whole lot rebuilt…. Woe is me.   Cheers     Robert Rutherford QuoStar Solutions Limited The Enterprise Pavilion Fern Barrow Wallisdown Poole Dorset BH12 5HH         T: +44 (0) 8456 440 331 F: +44 (0) 8456 440 332 M: +44 (0) 7974 249 494 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: www.quostar.com     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 May 2006 23:43 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] GPO Software Deployment   Rob Do you have access to the original MSI (it could be repackaged as an EXE)? msiexec /i file.msi /L*vx c:\path\to\logfile.txt That will dump out as much possible info about what is happening. If you need help debugging the output, let me know.
