Hi
I'm in the middle of implementing WPKG to manage the Windows side
on a
bunch of Macs running Boot Camp. I've been doing my testing on an
instance of Windows XP in Parallels on my own machine without a
problem. However, when I install the WPKG client in Boot Camp and
import the settings from my WPKG client in Parallels, packages with
MSI installers will fail with a 1619 error. Packages that do not
involve a MSI installer work just fine on the Boot Camp computer,
such
as Pidgin.
I've done some googling and browsing the archives of this list and
the
1619 error indicates that the package is unavailable at the given
location. On my Boot Camp computers, I've been able to map a drive to
the share with all my software and open the MSI installer without a
problem. I've also tried running the command specified in the profile
like this:
\\my-test.server.cca.edu\Software\PC\7zip\7z645.msi
But you debug log shows:
Executing command: msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z465.msi" /qn
without "PC\7zip" ...
My %SOFTWARE% variable is set to \\my-test-server.cca.edu\Software\PC
so I think it comes out all the same.
When I run the command above, I get the error "This installation
package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that
you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that
this is a valid Windows Installer package" but this happens on both
my
Parallels and Boot Camp instances of WPKG.
I'm a bit confused as to why this is happening since I'm importing
the
working settings from my Parallels instance. I'm not much of a
Windows
guy so I'm inclined to start with a fresh install of Windows XP
within
Boot Camp but that's something I'd rather not do. My feeling is that
there's something not configured correctly outside of WPKG on my Boot
Camp install but I'm not too sure where to start looking since I'm
not
much of a Windows guy. Is there anything else I should be checking?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Perhaps you could try to copy the msi to local drive first like in
this
example package:
<package
id="XX"
name="XX"
revision="1"
reboot="false"
priority="100">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="XX" />
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%programfiles%
\XX" />
<variable name='msiapp' value='XX'/>
<variable name='msiname' value='XX.msi'/>
<!-- Key auslesen: recht Maustaste auf .msi, dann Dateiversion,
dann Erweitert -->
<variable name='msikey' value='{}'/>
<!-- Download: -->
<install cmd='cmd /C copy /Y
"%SOFTWARE%\packages\%MSIAPP%\%MSINAME%" c:\NETINST\' />
<install cmd='msiexec /i "C:\netinst\%MSINAME%" /qb-! /
norestart
/log "%SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\%MSIAPP%.log" ALLUSERS=1
EULA_ACCEPT=YES '>
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="3010" reboot="false" />
</install>
<install cmd='cmd /C del /q c:\NETINST\%MSINAME%'/>
<upgrade cmd='cmd /C copy /Y
"%SOFTWARE%\packages\%MSIAPP%\%MSINAME%" c:\NETINST\' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /i
"%SOFTWARE%\packages\%MSIAPP%\%MSINAME%" /qb-! /norestart /log
"%SystemDrive%\netinst\logs\%MSIAPP%.log" ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES
'>
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="3010" reboot="false" />
</upgrade>
<upgrade cmd='cmd /C del /q c:\NETINST\%MSINAME%'/>
<remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /qn /x%MSIKEY%' >
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="1605" />
</remove>
</package>

I've tried running the installer locally by having my package install
from a local drive but I still get the same 1619 error. I've started
working with a fresh install of XP and it seems to be working so I
think that my current Windows image is corrupted somehow. Considering
that I've been using the same image for the last three years, I'm not
too surprised. I'm at a point where it'd probably be easier (and less
time consuming) to start fresh.
Thanks for the help!
