http://projectdream.org/wordpress/2010/05/07/ibm-i-access-7-1-installation-hangs-indefinitively-with-a-windows-installer-coordinator-window/ "If you’re trying to install IBM i Access 7.1<http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/access/>on a Windows Server 2008 R2 based Remote Desktop Session Host (RDS), formerly known as Terminal Server, you’ll most likely encounter this issue. A window titled “Windows Installer Coordinator” will pop up behind the IBM i Access 7.1 Installer (hidden until you click on it in the task bar). This “Windows Installer Coordinator” will run indefinitively, without ever successfully installing the application. Thanks to a helpful guy from IBM Software Support Austria, i now have a solution to this issue. It’s caused by a new feature in WS08R2 RDS. It’s called Windows Installer RDS Compatibility<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560667%28WS.10%29.aspx#BKMK_3>. If this feature is enabled, IBM i Access 7.1 will not install successfully, and hang at the “Windows Installer Coordinator” window. To successfully install IBM i Access 7.1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Session host, set the following DWORD registry key to 0: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services\TSAppSrv\TSMSI\Enable It’s possible that not all keys exist – in my case, the TSAppSrv and TSMSI keys didn’t exist yet – you have to create them manually. After creating this key, you can rerun the installation – a reboot is not necessary." I am going to put in the registry entry, do the install and then remove it afterwards Case closed me thinks On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 9:07 AM, Dean Cunningham <[email protected]>wrote: > As a newbie to APARs, I understand your pain.. :D > > > > On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 1:08 AM, Linda Jones <[email protected]>wrote: > >> :-) >> >> Just reading that word "APAR" takes me way way back (and not in a good >> way). >> >> >> > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ > > ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > > --- > To manage subscriptions click here: > http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ > or send an email to [email protected] > with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
