I kinda looked at this like watching the Family Feud game show and laughed almost as much.

I'm not going to answer them all because its better you find the answers yourself. But here is a few.

5. See if the ALLUSERS property is set to 1 in the MSI.

7 First, confirm the problem is not a problem with the Vendor's MSI and if its not, create an MST to install the file in question.

8. In testing, always run the command manually without the /q to see the visual error message. In this case, there is probably a problem with your path to the Admin Install point or there may be files missing/not accessable from it.

6. Which tool would you use to find an issue related to installation failure?
Notepad... Just read the log file.

Just a note to add, "4) This is very important question". Actually, its moot. Flexera and Symantec agreed to kill Wise so there is only InstallShield.

I'm struggling with which one is the bigger fool here: the interviewer who posed the questions, this respondent  or me for dignifying it with a response. Still. Answer 4 gave me the biggest laugh of the week so thank you, at least, for that.

Hi.,

I am newbee in the App Packging field. Though I carry about a year experience in repackaging and deploying, I learned during my last interview with Wipro that I have lot to learn. Now am looking for an answer to few questions the Panel asked me during the interview. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. How to fix a self-healing loop of an application.
2. Why would you prefer Actve setup than run and Run as options.
3. How to create a patched MSI.
4. What is the advantages of Adminstudio over Wise Package Studio
5. How to find if an installation is per machine or per user in 3 steps
6. Which tool would you use to find an issue related to installation failure
7. How to install a file which is failed during an MSI installation using Installshield.
8. How to fix an MSI error "unble to access the file or source or check with vendor....." during an admin install. (user has admin rights and the network location is accesseble)
9. During a setup capture which files are captured or copied initially

Please help me with the answers of the above asap...

thanks in advance

So is the above questions came from WIPRO???

Good job bangalore~

Agreed with Arminius.

no ideas

I really question the interviewers.  Which tool would you use to find an issue related to install failure?  I dunno, how about the returned error code?  And Q7 is strange, too.

Be happy you didn't get the job.

Hey thanks for the reply..

Just to add... My experience in App Packaging was pretty much limited to creating and applying transforms and deploy the same through SCCM. I never had an oppertunity to go through the above mentioned senarios or ever encountered any of these. Since my post was through an IJP, neitherI  I had any sort of training of any kind. What ever that I learned through Google research only. I appreciate wot GrGrGr said about finding it by my self. I will try to find some info by my self. The reason why I posted this question here is that I respect the members experience in this field and was expecting some sort of explanation which will make me understand a bit more than just finding an answer...

:) You already have one year of experience, it's as easy as googling that info or experimenting and finding out for yourself! :)

Sounds like you just want to get a free pass. :)

VBScab sarcastic and brutal as always. ;)
