Hi,
Has anyone had any success in running the Windows Installer (Msiexec) from the
CreateProcessAsUser() function from Dave Roth's Win32::AdminMisc module?
I'm following the examples provided in Dave's book.
Case 1:
I get various errors when calling from a command file (test_install.cmd):
msiexec.exe /qn /l* c:\install_log.txt /i
\\slkclab2\lab_clients\test\app\test_app.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program
Files\test\test_app" SETUPTYPE="Client" SYSREFNUM="12345" SERVERNAME="SLKCLAB2"
SHARENAME="TEST_SHARE" READONLY="TRUE"
#SNIP#
my $command = "cmd /c \\\\slkclab2\\lab_clients\\test\\app\\test_install.cmd";
$Result = Win32::AdminMisc::LogonAsUser( $Node,
$User,
$Password,
LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE );
if( $Result )
{
$LogonUser = Win32::AdminMisc::GetLogonName();
print LOG "Successfully logged on as $LogonUser.\n";
}
else
{
print LOG "Failed to logon.\n\tError: ", Error(), "\n";
exit;
}
$Result = Win32::AdminMisc::CreateProcessAsUser(
$command,
"Flags", DETACHED_PROCESS,
"XSize", 640,
"YSize", 400,
"X", 200,
"Y", 175,
"XBuffer", 80,
"YBuffer", 175,
"Show", SW_MINIMIZE,
"Title", "$User's
process",
"inherit", 1,
"Fill", BACKGROUND_BLUE |
FOREGROUND_RED |
FOREGROUND_BLUE |
FOREGROUND_INTENSITY |
FOREGROUND_GREEN,
);
#ENDSNIP#
This is from the install log:
WriteRegistryValues: Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VBA\VBE\6.0\Addins\ArmVbaItems.Connect,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\Atlas.
System error . Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or
contact your support personnel.

There are many successful registry writes but the last one errors (1406) with
insufficient permissions! It works fine when I run the command file directly
from the same priviledged account ($user) but fails when run from a Perlapp exe.
Case 2:
When I change the perl script to call msiexec directly:
#SNIP#
my $command = 'msiexec.exe /qn /l* c:\install_log.txt /i
\\slkclab2\lab_clients\test\app\test_app.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program
Files\test\test_app" SETUPTYPE="Client" SYSREFNUM="12345" SERVERNAME="SLKCLAB2"
SHARENAME="TEST_SHARE" READONLY="TRUE"'
#ENDSNIP#
I get a different error: in the install log:
Action ended 10:32:55: UpdateCustomizeValue. Return value 1.
Action start 10:32:55: InstallFinalize.
DEBUG: Error 2103: Could not resolve path for shell folder 26.
Internal Error 2103. 26
MSI (s) (74:E4): Product: Atlas -- Internal Error 2103. 26
Action ended 10:32:55: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
Action 10:32:55: .
Action ended 10:32:55: INSTALL. Return value 3.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Al Lewis
