Software Deployment

Try setting your GPO to ignore language.

And BTW, there's a specific 'Group Policy' forum here on AppDeploy. A moderator may move the thread there.

Check if the below applies for you:

Good call, Kim.

To clarify, though, before the OP responds to say that he doesn't have Office 2000 installed on his machine, what Kim is saying that GP objects if the product you're trying to add to a GPO (in this case, Safari.) is installed. I think in that case, there'll be an entry in the Event Log to say that the product is already installed.

We are still not able to deploy safari from AD.
Does anybody knows the issue around this?

You need to be more specific what you've tried and not.

Is the AdvtExecuteSequence table included?
Does an ICE validation give you any clue?

Hi Suma,
i think we have the same problem here, as in QT and iTunes.
GPO-Install doesn't like the use of the (undocumented) language transforms, which are embedded in this package.
To turn them off, open "Safari.msi" in ORCA, go to "View - Summary Information..." and remove all, but the "1033" entry in the "Languages:" Field.
If you need Safari in another Language, use MSIDB.exe from the SDK to extract the needed language transform from the packages substorages table.
Hope, this brings you some steps further.
Regards, Nick

I have the report taken from a client computer. I will paste the required content... guys please check and let me know.. meanwhile i will look into the summary info for language.

This list goes on but i can not find Apple safari doesn't seem to be there....


Any suggestions?
Suma

Also, i noticed that double clicking the MSI failes and when we install with /qb it works great.
Is this becuase the AD is failing to deploy? Is there any CA to be edited?

Did you try setting the GPO to ignore language (post # 2) or removing the language settings in Summary Info (post # 7)

Also, you must surely have seen the many, many entreaties here to PLEASE use the CODE tag when posting text of any length.

I have asked AD team to check my modified MSI.
I have found the CA which was culprit and that was reason it was failing in UI.

Will follow VBScab from next time... :-)
