Hi Justin,

Oh trust me I read that. I still cant seem to figure out, how to make the Package...Do I have to Extract all the files then some how place all of them into a MSI file?

- Justin

This worked for me.
"Msiexec.exe /i CompPack\O12Conv.msi ALLUSERS=2 /qn"

Hi Justin,
this makes it pretty difficult. You need to learn the deployment basics ASAP.
I hope you understand, that we can't give you courses here...
For the format converter:
You just need the two files: 012conv.MSI and 012conv.cab.
The cabfile is related to the MSI, it contains the files for this hole package.
To install it silent, use a command like this:
msiexec /i <Your path goes here>\012conv.MSI /qn

Back in the darkest recesses of my mind is a dim recollection of a temporary hack for a similar situation (or it may even have been for an Adobe app...) which involves divining the name of the update server, then adding it to the local HOSTS file but pointed to the loopback address. For example, if the update host is called 'update.adobe.com', then add this line to the foot of the HOSTS file:

update.adobe.com 127.0.0.1

Hi Ian,
could it may be, that you aimed at the wrong thread with this message?

Indeed, yes. I'm having a nightmare with AppDeploy at the moment, as I have to log in every time I want to post. I've tried all the usual hacks, like using a different browser, deleting cookies, bypassing the client's proxy, etc, etc, to no avail. I think I got a 'Post' window I wasn't expecting and just replied into it. I've now added the text to the correct thread (Adobe Shockwave 11).

Hi Ian,
so do i.
Have to write to Bob about, i think.
It's a horror right now.

I'm on it. http://itninja.com/question/what-scripting-languages-do-you-use?9082
Does it appear fixed to you now?

Hi Bob,
looks ok to me now.
Thanks.

Let me see what happens after this response...

It seems to be OK provided I don't go back to a particular forum's start page, i.e. if I stay in athread. As soon as I go back to the start, I'm logged in as 'Guest'.

No, no good. It's intermittent. Sometimes, I'm OK, most times note :(

There could be some caching issues here through all of this. Please try to log out, close the browser and then log back in.

Also, let's take this conversation over to this thread: http://itninja.com/question/what-scripting-languages-do-you-use?9082
