Visual Studio .NET 2003 keeps reinstalling when using transform to move shortcuts
For the last few days I have been trying to work out a bug in our installation of Visual Studio .NET 2003 Pro.
The setup looks like this:
I am installing VS from a directory in a share on our server:
\\server\vs2003\vs
Running the setup.exe program directly or installing unattended using msiexec with these switches and properties set:
msiexec /qb- /i \\server\vs2003\vs\vs_setup.msi VSEXTUI=1 PIDKEY="MyPIDkey" ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL="loads of features listed"
works well. I get a working local installation on our Windows XP Pro SP1 workstations from which I can run all the tools and features available in Visual Studio.
However, I need to move the shortcuts for Visual Studio to a sub-menu on the start menu to comply with our GUI and usability standards. I have attempted to accomplish this by using a transform which moves the shortcuts to "Start Menu\Programs\Programming\Visual Studio". The tools and Microsoft .NET Framework SDK shortcuts were moved to a sub-directory of that location.
The transform was generated using Wise Package Studio 4.62. It only touches the shortcuts and does nothing else. I have run it through both ORCA and the Wise validation suites to find any inconsistencies and found none (at least none that weren't already present in the default Visual Studio MSI package).
Despite this, I am unable to start the main Visual Studio application when installing with the transform applied. I am running the exact same msiexec command line as above with the added property:
TRANSFORMS="path to transform file"
The msiexec command returns success and I can run all of the tools and the Visual Studio help by clicking on their shortcuts but when I try to start the man Visual Studio application a Windows Installer window opens up shortly after the splash screen, reports that it is trying to install something and then ends, bringing the application down with it.
Nothing is reported for the secondary "per-user" installation in the event log and enabling verbose logging for Windows Installer doesn't seem to turn up anything really useful on what the installer tries to accomplish. At the end of the per-user installation log the following is displayed:
"MainEngineThread is returning 1603"
1603 means fatal error but no reason is given in the previous log entries.
I have included the complete, per-user log below for reference. My transform file is available on request if anyone wants to have a look at it.
If someone has any idea as to what the problem might be I would be very interested in hearing about it.

The setup looks like this:
I am installing VS from a directory in a share on our server:
\\server\vs2003\vs
Running the setup.exe program directly or installing unattended using msiexec with these switches and properties set:
msiexec /qb- /i \\server\vs2003\vs\vs_setup.msi VSEXTUI=1 PIDKEY="MyPIDkey" ALLUSERS=1 ADDLOCAL="loads of features listed"
works well. I get a working local installation on our Windows XP Pro SP1 workstations from which I can run all the tools and features available in Visual Studio.
However, I need to move the shortcuts for Visual Studio to a sub-menu on the start menu to comply with our GUI and usability standards. I have attempted to accomplish this by using a transform which moves the shortcuts to "Start Menu\Programs\Programming\Visual Studio". The tools and Microsoft .NET Framework SDK shortcuts were moved to a sub-directory of that location.
The transform was generated using Wise Package Studio 4.62. It only touches the shortcuts and does nothing else. I have run it through both ORCA and the Wise validation suites to find any inconsistencies and found none (at least none that weren't already present in the default Visual Studio MSI package).
Despite this, I am unable to start the main Visual Studio application when installing with the transform applied. I am running the exact same msiexec command line as above with the added property:
TRANSFORMS="path to transform file"
The msiexec command returns success and I can run all of the tools and the Visual Studio help by clicking on their shortcuts but when I try to start the man Visual Studio application a Windows Installer window opens up shortly after the splash screen, reports that it is trying to install something and then ends, bringing the application down with it.
Nothing is reported for the secondary "per-user" installation in the event log and enabling verbose logging for Windows Installer doesn't seem to turn up anything really useful on what the installer tries to accomplish. At the end of the per-user installation log the following is displayed:
"MainEngineThread is returning 1603"
1603 means fatal error but no reason is given in the previous log entries.
I have included the complete, per-user log below for reference. My transform file is available on request if anyone wants to have a look at it.
If someone has any idea as to what the problem might be I would be very interested in hearing about it.

I'm just curious, but HOW did you deal with the 4 prerequisite apps required by VS?
I tried to automate this install, too, but ended up concluding that it needed to be a part of the core image deployed to our development/programming folks.
As for your specific problem, the only thing I can think to try would be to temporarily disable advertising for the main VS icon and see if that successfully disables self-repair.
I would not KEEP the shortcut unadvertised, but at least it might give you a clue as to what might be going wrong.
One other thought: maybe make your own shortcut to the main VS icon... and then dump the one originally from your .MSI file.
Good luck!

I have solved the problem. As it turns out Wise does a lot more to the MSI tables when creating a transform than it tells the user. This affects Visual Studio both when starting it from the start menu and when opening files directly with it. Instead I used the minimal but very useful tool Orca from the Windows Installer SDK (can be downloaded from Microsoft along with all the other SDK parts at http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/) to generate a working transform.
Using Orca I changed the directory table to arrange the shortcuts in appropriate start menu groups. Instead of this structure:
Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 1.1
Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Visual Studio Tools
I get this structure:
Start Menu\Programs\Programming\Visual Studio
Start Menu\Programs\Programming\Visual Studio\Microsoft .NET Framework SDK
Start Menu\Programs\Programming\Visual Studio\Tools
The transform is available from http://www.cyd.liu.se/~lexicon/msvs2003-shortcuts4.mst
Regarding the Visual Studio pre-requisites, that wasn't too hard with some fancy MSI juggling. On a fully patched Windows XP Pro box I only require the install of the following packages (the MDAC patch is included in the patches I apply to the box):
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable (netfx.msi)
Microsoft Visual J# 1.1 Redistributable (jsredis1.msi)
VS .NET files (bootstrap.msi)
Microsoft Frontpage client (weccom.msi)
.NET Framework
--------------
Download the redistributable from http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/redist/. Unpack the exe file. You'll get an MSI and a CAB file. Put these in the same directory and run:
msiexec /qb- /i netfx.msi ALLUSERS=1
Visual J# 1.1 Redistributable
-----------------------------
Download from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vjsharp/downloads/howtoget/
Unpack the exe file and you'll get an MSI and a CAB file. Run:
msiexec /qb- /i jsredis1.msi
Visual Studio installation
--------------------------
Follow the instructions in the administrator readme file on the Visual Studio CD and copy all the CDs to a share with the following structure:
\\server\vs2003\pre (Pre-req CD files)
\\server\vs2003\vs (Visual Studio files from both CDs)
\\server\vs2003\msdn (MSDN documentation)
From the pre directory install the following MSIs:
msiexec /qb- /i \\server\vs2003\pre\bootstrap.msi ALLUSERS=1
msiexec /qb- /i \\server\vs2003\pre\weccom.msi ALLUSERS=1
Then install the main VS MSI:
msiexec /qb- /i \\server\vs2003\vs_setup.msi ALLUSERS=1 TRANSFORMS="full path to transform file" VSEXTUI=1 PIDKEY="your license key" ADDLOCAL="a load of features"
Explanation:
VSEXTUI=1 this tricks the MSI into thinking it is being run from SETUP.EXE.
PIDKEY set this property to your license number without any dashes
ADDLOCAL this determines what features are installed locally. I got this very long list from running the SETUP.EXe with verbose MSI logging turned on in the registry and looking at the installation log file in my %TEMP% directory. See below for an example that installs everything but the web development tools.
Example:
ADDLOCAL="Visual_Studio.NET_Professional,Tools_for_Redistributing_Apps,
Visual_Studio_Graphics_Library,Redistributable_Merge_Modules,Crystal_Reports,
VCS_Crystal_Report_Project_Items_,VB7_Crystal_Report_Project_Items,
VC_Crystal_Report_Project_Item,Crystal_Report_Share,
VJ_Crystal_Report_Project_Items,dotNET_Framework_SDK,SDK_Samples_for_VS,

Visual_Database_Tools_Sproc_Version,Language_Tools_for_VS_7_Pro,
VB_for_VS7_Pro,SDE_for_VB,VCpp_for_VS_7_Pro,VCpp_Runtime_Libraries,
CRT2_Static_Libraries,CRT3_Shared_Libraries,CRT4_Source_Code,

SDE_for_VCSh,VJSh_for_VS_Pro,Dotfuscator_Community_Edition"
MSDN documentation installation
-------------------------------
I have not fully tested this yet but I think these are the correct properties to use to install the MSDN documentation and any updates to it:
msiexec /qb- /i \\server\vs2003\msdn\msdn.msi INSTALLATION_TYPE=Typical SETUP_EXE=yes UNPLUGOLD70NAMESPACE=1 UNPLUGOLD71NAMESPACE=1
Explanation:
INSTALLATION_TYPE=Typical installs about 600 MB locally and reads the rest of the docs from the network when needed. Change this to "Full" to install everything locally (I think)
SETUP_EXE=yes makes the MSI file think it is being run from SETUP.EXE
UNPLUGOLD70NAMESPACE,UNPLUGOLD71NAMESPACE: These two properties, when set to "1", automatically integrates the new help pages with any previous help pages already installed. This is helpful when you install documentation updates.

To facilitate integration of new MSDN Library documentation updates and other help collections into the Visual Studio help collection I wrote a Python script based on Javascript code in the Help Collection Manager.
The script adds all collections not in its exclude list to the Visual Studio help collection. Any collections already plugged-in but listed in the exclude list are removed. After the change a full merge of the index is made.
The script can be found at: http://www.cyd.liu.se/~lexicon/vs2003-helpgen.py
You will need ActivePython, preferrably version 2.3 or later, to run it. ActivePython can be found at http://www.activestate.com/

I have made a package basically along the same lines as stated above. Everything works fine when installing except I am having problems uninstalling the application, it first looks to the folder from which it was installed when I go to uninstall. I tried to to do some regshots after changing this information but nothing refering to the application changes. Anyone running into this problem?

Jonas, thanks for letting us know the solution to this. Perhaps if you have a moment you could copy it to the Package Knowledge Base
