Software Deployment

Let me add that this happens for both active_x msi and the firefox plugin msi..

the msi install log really doesnt point me to any serious issue.. but this has my eye..

Action start 10:31:44: ISStartup.
1: The InstallScript engine version currently installed on this machine is adequate.
1: Event 'E3144421' is created
1: GetInstallDriver, Can not find InstallDriver in ROT table, Return Code = 0x800401e3

Action ended 10:31:44: ISMsiServerStartup. Return value 1603.


MSI (s) (50:88) [10:31:45:072]: Product: Adobe Flash Player 9 Plugin -- Installation operation failed.

Seems that the isscript.msi isn't installed or maybe the InstallShield InstallDriver DCOM Identity is set to The Interactive user instead of The interactive user.

I've tried installing ISScript11.msi on the workstations before having this advertisement run, however the Flash install fails in the same manner. I've also changed the DCOM identity to Launching User instead of Interactive, but Flash changes it back just before run... any more tips? Pleeeease.. this thing is kickin' my a$$!

Try to author a custom action to remove the HKCR\AppID\<{GUID}>\RunAs registry key just before the MsiServerStartup CA.
This will set the Identity to Launching User just before the engine starts.

I use SMS and I have no problem, but I think my package in SMS is probably different.

On the environment tab of the program I have "whether or not a user is logged in" and because of that you have to check "Run with admin rights". The command line I use is: msiexec.exe /q ALLUSERS=2 /i "install_flash_player_active.msi" TRANSFORMS="install_flash_player_active.mst"
In our organisation all machines have to be updated so that is why I choose for per machine installation.

Hope this helps you
