Adobe Products Question

Abe — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:30:10 GMT

Hi, I have a couple of questions regarding Adobe Products.

1. I'm trying to create packages for Acrobat 8.1 Standard and Professional that will add the Adobe Printer to the user's Printer & Faxes list. The required file is located at Documents and Settings\local user\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\Cache\Acrofnt08.lst.

I'm having a problem figuring out where exactly in the the above branch to place the variable, so it places the file into any user's local profile. Any help would be appreciated.

2. The other question pertains to Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. A package was created using the volume license for the product, and was launched to confirm all prompts were answered during creation. But when the package is pushed to a system, the user is prompted for Software Setup and the Serial Number.

Are there any steps that we're missing in the package creation?

ptclient.exe does not wait for package to complete

crtimo — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:26:51 GMT

We have been using scripts to deploy .pwc files for a very long time, through many versions of Prism Pack. Normally, we would call these packages from a windows .bat script using a command line like this...

PAClient.exe /ip package1.pwc /norollback PAClient.exe /ip package2.pwc /norollback

The script would always wait until package1.pwc was complete before moving on to install package2.pwc in the script.

After upgrading to Prism 8.0 and switching over to PTClient, the script no longer waits for the package to complete, but just runs through all the packages, starting and completing multiple packages at the same time.

PTClient.exe /ip package1.pwc /norollback PTClient.exe /ip package2.pwc /norollback

Will result in package1.pwc starting, and then package2.pwc starting and installing while package1 is still running. If my script calls a reboot at the end, the reboot starts before the packages are done, or if package2 depends on something in package1, it's a big problem.

Is there a way to make PTClient.exe wait until the installation of that package is complete before moving on to the next one, like PAClient.exe did?

Errors uninstalling a program while that program is currently running

BrettCallaway — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 16:33:39 GMT

I have been testing some packages that I created to uninstall various P2P clients. A few of the packages create errors on the client computer saying that the .exe or .dll can not be deleted because it is in use. Anyone have any experience with this and know the best way to deal with this issue?

Thanks!

Best way to schedule a reinstall of package?

Mike W. — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:40:12 GMT

I have a piece of research software that gets updated every few months.

I want to be able to modify the package and then in the console schedule a reinstall to all previous computers the package was assigned to.

The way I have to do it now is, run a report to find out who has the software, print it out, go through the management console and select each computer, then do a schedule reinstall of the task. The package/assignments lets you reinstall now but that is not an option in our environment.

Any help, tip, trick in this area would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks, Mike

RunAs - Diffrent as RunAs from Explorer

Spawn — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 06:40:10 GMT

Hi all,

after a lot of testing with my custom setup wich works really fine (just a lil bit modified with Orca)

I tried to distribute it with PDeploy, and thats where I start to wonder...

If i run my setup with a 'normal' Windows User pointing to the setup file, right click -> RunAs -> Domain\Admin & pwd its installed...

and finally a new Desktop Icon appear -> all looks fine and ready to deploy.

Just setup a simple Command Task locating the same setup.exe file using the same credentials for RunAs...

and how good that I had tested it once more - just rollback my VPC

PD didn't create the Desktop Icon @ my Desktop, I found it @ my root drive where it should't be, even the AppData Folder is now directly under my root drive the only correct thing are the program files nothing more.

PTClient 7.1.3 / <German>

Console 7.1.1.580 / <German>

so anyone any Idea - whats going on?

clueless cheers

Prism Scripts and Time Delay

jwilburn — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:59:18 GMT

I have written a script that pushes our standard group of applications to a fresh build. I have set the last package to reboot the machine, my problem is 2 of the external applications (in red) are not installing. If I remove the reboot it works fine, any ideas?

/run /wait msiexec /i "\\server\swupdate\softgrid client\softgrid-wd-setup.msi" SWISOFTGRIDDRIVE="B" SWICACHESIZE="8000" /qn /norestart
/run /wait msiexec /i "\\server\swupdate\citrix client\ica32pkg.msi" /qn /norestart
/run /wait \\server\swupdate\dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q"

/InstallPackage \\server\swupdate\Prism\Packages\Software\Install\reboot.pwc

wake up on LAN problems

freakzzz — Mon, 14 May 2007 04:03:50 GMT

Hey!

I'm a student from Belgium, currently working as an intern at VTB-VAB. My job is to make a complete analysis of software that has the ability to remotely deploy / distribute other software packages to clientpc's.

When testing prism everything works fine except for one strange issue with the WOL option. It seems to boot 5 clients out of 10 in my testenvironment. I'm using a DHCP server, the clients have ben separated into 2 different OU's in active directory. It seems to boot and install the computers in OU "bkh" fine, but the computers in OU "ict" aren't booting at all.

I've tried out shareware to boot my computers and that works fine.

Anybody got a clue how to solve this issue?

With kind regards,

freakkzz

Question regarding Imaging.

SJO — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 19:46:23 GMT

Hi at New Boundary.

Been using Prism Deploy for about 4 months now. So far we have manually (direct push) installed the client whenever our machines needed re-imaging.

I know that you can install the client .exe through a computer startup script using IF statements, and it seems to work fine.

What I'm wondering is what happens if I roll out a windows XP image onto machine X. The logon script installs the client and I deploy some packages. A few days later I want to re-image the computer and upon boot, the client will be rolled out again, onto a computer with the exact same name, in the exact same OU.

What happens now? Will Prism Deploy automatically remove the former client from the console and re-establish connection to the new client or will there be some sort of conflict in the console?

Thanks in advance,

SJO

Running scripts hidden from users view

pizza — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 09:48:00 GMT

In some other posts I read about errorlevel reporting back to Deploy. It states to use the %COMSPEC% variable. Now when I use this in my script I see a CMD-box open and close while script is running. I want to hide this from users view.
Is this script with all the options correct, or do I need to change things. Do I need to use %COMSPEC%?

/run %COMSPEC% /C msiexec /qn /i "Client package.msi"
/Installpackage "My Own package for shortcuts.PWC"

I can also create one big PWC, but I want to use supplied MSI's where thy can be silently installed and only append with simple PWC's if possible.

Installation Rule Do Not install IF

adebratto — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:00:06 GMT

I want to block a package from installing on specific computers, how can that be done with an installation rule?

Is it as simple as creating rules for what the package can install on?

Error 193 trying to deploy command type package

JRolinc — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 06:45:34 GMT

I've got a simple Command Task setup, utilizing a UNC Path to run a .vbs script. I've verified that the .vbs script runs fine, but get the above listed error when trying to deploy to a test system.

The "test" system has the Prism client installed and is managed (version 7).

Thanks for any/all help.

Automating tasks using Wake-On-Lan

Raymond — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 13:12:33 GMT

Hi,

We want to execute some tasks (virus scan, defragmentation, etc.) after business hours and want to use the combination of Wake-On-Lan and Prism Deploy for this purpose.
For testing, I have created an unattended script and a task that runs every hour and set the option to wake the computers if necessary. Every hour the pc boots and the task is executed (the computer is then shut down by using the shutdown.exe command in the script). The first time however, it takes two hours before the task is first run. So, let's say the current time is 20:00 and I want the task to start first at 20:02, it will only run the first time at 22:02.
I have studied pictaker.log on some client pc's and found the following entries:
/ServerGMT 24-10-2006 10:15:40
/LocalTime 24-10-2006 12:13:46

Could this be the cause of this problem? Both clocks on the server and clients show the same time though.

Regards,
Raymond

Prism client crashing after Access Denied message

Raymond — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 03:42:39 GMT

Hi,

This is sort of a sequel to my other post, "Packages not deployed to computers in one OU".

I have just packaged a Sentinel Ikey-USB driver. Double-clicking the package on a computer installs the software just fine. When the software is deployed through the console, I receive a Task installation error, "Unable to create the registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SCardSvr\Security. Access denied". The software is deployed using a user which has administrative privileges.

After deleting the registry key from the package, the software is deployed ok. The key is needed, however!

The ugly thing about this is, that all packages deployed after this package, are returning task installation errors as well. The Prism client seems to have crashed in a strange way, allowing anything that does not need administrative privileges to deploy correctly, but causing anything that does to generate "access denied" errors. A reboot of the client is needed then.

Regards,

Raymond

Automatically deleting obsolete shortcuts

Raymond — Fri, 04 Aug 2006 06:40:29 GMT

Is there a quick way to have an application's shortcut deleted from the user's StartMenu when he is not a member of a certain group anymore?

We deploy our packages based on group membership and put NTFS permissions on the program folders. When the user is removed from a group, he cannot access the program folder anymore but the shortcut stays where it is. It would be nice if the shortcut would disappear automatically. We do not want to uninstall the entire package because some are rather large and computers are used by numerous users, all having certain software needs, so we want to avoid large packages being uninstalled and re-installed all the time.

For now, the quickest solution I found is to create another package that uses the Deleted Items folder which contains the shortcut to delete and to create another group rule ("security group" "groupname" = false), but having a few hundred applications this really is a time consuming solution.

Regards,

Raymond

Packages not deployed to computers in one OU

Raymond — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 12:36:09 GMT

Our Prism-channel suddenly stopped deploying packages to computers in a single OU, called Desktops. Everything worked fine for more than two years, until friday. Then suddenly Task Installation Errors (#2000) started to show up in the deployment logs.

Unattended packages are deployed fine, all packages deployed to users belonging to a global group return this error. Some more info in the deployment log shows that certain directories (f.e. "c:\program files\oracle") cannot be created. This sounds like a privilege problem, however all packages are deployed using an account that has administrative privileges on the target machine.

And now the strange part: If I create a new OU in the Active Directory, apply all group policies to it that are also applied to the Desktops OU and move a computer to the new OU, deployment works fine. Moving the computer to the Desktops OU, Prism returns the error messages. Moving it back to the new OU: no problems, etc... So the problem is only with this single OU. I have already ruled out privilege issues, group policy, virus scanner and WSUS updates.

As far as I know, nothing has changed the last couple of days, except for the number of computers in the Desktops OU, which is over 1100 now. Can it be possible that Prism has trouble reading large amounts of objects in a single OU and starts behaving strangely?

Regards,

Raymond

MS Office XP Install

MikeO23 — Thu, 15 Jun 2006 10:35:51 GMT

I have created a package to install MS Office XP Pro using the Custom Installation Wizard included in the Office Resource Kit. Included in the CIW is a section to run programs and to specify when you want them run. I have it set up to run a batch file that creates user directories on the local hard drive once for each user and every time the product is installed. These batch files run correctly after I install the package from the local computer. In other words I have a clean install of XP Pro and run the Office XP Pro package from the local computers hard drive. Then when ever a new user logs in to the computer and opens one of the Office apps a brief installation starts and the batch file runs, and the user directories are created for each new user as specified in the batch file. The problem is when the same package is sent remotely to a computer with a clean install of XP Pro. After the package installs the batch file never runs when the Office apps are opened. There is not a brief install installation window that appears for each new user as there is when the package is installed locally. Is there some thing that would cause a package to install differently if installed locally compared to being remotely deployed?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

MS Office Uninstall

dave.frandin — Tue, 16 May 2006 15:13:03 GMT

While trying to uninstall an MSOffice 2002 package, I get an error in the Deployment Log as follows: Result Code=3600, Result Description=Required Uninstall File Missing. On several of my test machines, which had this package installed, the uninstall of the package completed successfully. I find no indication as to what this means in your knowledgebase.

Application Uninstall Criteria

dave.frandin — Wed, 10 May 2006 19:01:36 GMT

We're in the closing days of our 30-day eval of PrismSuite, and a question came up in our presentation to our IS manager/staff regarding application uninstalls. Does the ability for PrismSuite to uninstall an application depend on the application having been installed by the same package/task that will uninstall it?

Example: Due to customer requirements, we're still using Corel WordPerfect 8, and for testing during our Prism eval, I created a package of it, had many successful installs/uninstalls on our test machines. Now to the question: Our ~200 machines will already have WP8 on them when/if we purchase Prism.. Will Prism be able to uninstall these installs of WP8 or will we be limited to uninstalling only copies of WP8 that were installed by Prism/Deploy?? The package I created uses the same paths/directory structure that the manual installs use, and have tried an uninstall task using my created package, and it didnt remove the app.. My response in the meeting was a guess that an uinstall of the app without having installed from the Prism package would NOT be possible, however my boss wanted me to run this by the experts...

Thanks

continuous install/uninstall package.

pizza — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 11:16:00 GMT

I've encoutered an unusual effect with deploy. Manual install/uninstall works great (even with config groups) but putting these tasks on config groups leads to weird behaviour . situation:
package A and Package B. Config groups "NOT A and NOT B" and "A installed". Workstation (WS) With package A installed (using Deploy).
Manual:
1. WS is member of group "A installed". Manual task to WS is to Uninstall Package A.
2. WS is now member of group "NOT A and NOT B installed". Manual task to install Package B.
Works like a charm.
Now the weird part: (Tasks are now put on config groups)
1. WS is mmber of group "A installed". Automatic task to uninstall Package A begins. Install package A , uninstall package A, uninstall Package A.
(This package made a shortcut under programs, so it was funny to see this shortcut, appear, dissapear, appear, etc.) This only stops when I delete the uninstall task from group "A installed". I think Package B will be installed after this, but I'm not sure on this part.

Hopefully someone can A explain why this happens and B provide a solution.

If rules are not met questions

Mellik — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 09:56:00 GMT

I have a question regarding rules and the possibillity to show a message when the rule is not met.

I have created a package with a rule that checks if Microsoft Office is already installed on the system.
If it is installed then the package is deployed correctly.

This works great but when the conditions are not met it seems as if the system does nothing and when I check the deployment logs I see that a condition is not met.

My question is, is there a possibillity to create a custom message like you can with the deployment of a package in that I can create my own warning that if the condition is not met it pops up stating that for this case, I need to install Office first.

Second question is

When the rule is not met and I fix it on the client computer so that the rule is met the package doesn't deploy until I remove the task and recreate it.
Is this on purpose?

registry pointing towards wrong location

Raymond — Fri, 24 Feb 2006 16:21:00 GMT

Hi,

We have to move all Prism packages from a shared folder to a DFS root due to capacity problems on the current RAID set.

Problem is that the client registries are crowded with pointers to the old location. If we move the packages, uninstall tasks complain that the original task file cannot be found.

Is there a way to perform a mass change of the client registry settings to make them point to the new location, without having to uninstall and install all packages all over again?

Regards,

Raymond

Deploying hardware-dependent software

Raymond — Mon, 12 Dec 2005 10:48:00 GMT

Hi,

An increasing amount of software checks computer hardware to see if anything has changed and if so, asks the user to re-enter the serial number to re-activate the software. ACDSee and AutoCAD are just a few examples of this type of software.

This means that whenever we package this kind of software and then deploy it to other machines, the software will not function unless one of the administrators enters the serial number manually. In some cases, even de-installation and a full manual installation of the software is necessary to make it function.

Is there any way to get around this problem or to automate the re-activation process with help of the Prism software?

Thanks,

Raymond

Remote Installation

Abe — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 23:57:00 GMT

Hi,

I'm running version 7.0.2 of Prism Deploy, and I'm testing out installing the client on remote systems. I've already created a subscription file and installed on a test machine. The client installed, but hasn't contacted the server.

My question is, are there additional ports that need to be opened up, besides the one setup for the channel server?

Apply package at boot only once

Klaas — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 10:45:00 GMT

Is it posible to apply a package only once at boot? So we are sure that the application is not in use at the moment.
To schedule it at a time is not an option, the application is used whole the day, and we have to fix some problems asap (on diverent computers).

Check for version of MDAC

callie_sunrise — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 11:09:00 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to scripting so bare with me :-)

I need to check for a version of MDAC installed on a PC (2.7 SP1). If already installed then I want a package to continue installing.

If MDAC 2.7 SP1 is not installed then I need it to run the MDAC 2.7 SP1 package before continuing with the application install.

How do I do this? Can it be done using the installation rules in Prism Pack or would it be best to create the script outside of PP and rename it to a .pts file?

Any help would be great!!

OS Detection Script

callie_sunrise — Thu, 01 Sep 2005 13:59:00 GMT

Hi All!!

Bear with me, I'm new to all this!

I have created two packages, one for W2K and the other for XP.

What I want to do is put these packages on our Intranet for users to download. When a user clicks on the link I want it to first check the Operating System being used which will then go the appropriate package download.

I know there is an sample script in the User Guide but it it just confuses me

Has anyone got such a script in use and would they be willing to share it with me?

Thank you in advance!!

prism package file with pwc extension and also 000

Hello support....

At the moment i'm copying packages over a WAN from one prism server to another. Sometimes i see besides the package x.pwc also a package with x.000

The packages size of the x.pwc is the same size as the original one and also the size of the x.000 package is the same size of the x.pwc package.

Can you explain whats wrong ( if anything) and what the package x.000 means

Package installation priority problem

laesq — Mon, 25 Jul 2005 09:21:00 GMT

Hi,

When we first got Prism Deploy, the first issue we found was that when we created a group with a list of packages to install, the packages would install in a strange order. We later found out that this was because the packages are deployed by their task number.

As we have a few packages that need to be installed before others, we set about making a script to install the packages in the order we wanted them in. This works fine.

But, we then found that the packages that are installed on each machine (via the script) don't appear in the console under each machine. Instead, just the scripted job is listed. So there's no easy way to do a right click and uninstall a single package.

So is there a way to get the packages to appear in the installed packages list, even if they've been installed from a script? Or is there a way to give certain packages priority over other packages. If not, may I suggest these as future enhancements to the prism deploy as I'm sure I'm not alone with this package priority problem.

I know packages can be uninstalled via scripts, but I feel this is a messy way of doing it.

Installation rule and self-installing file

John Falloon — Mon, 18 Jul 2005 12:55:00 GMT

I have created a self-installing package that I will be deploying via active directory and group policy as an msi package (I will wrap the self installing prism deploy exe with a great little tool - the Windows Installer Wizard Wrapper - WIWW for short).

I have placed an installation rule inside the self-installing package which looks for the existence for a specific file and folder on the clients computer.

The rule looks like this:

NOT EXISTS <File> "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup\CDWord2K.dot"

As a test in my vmware machine, I placed this exact file ie CDWord2k.dot into the folder path mentioned above. This should in theory "stop" the installation of the package because the file is there.

It does, I get this message:

Error An installation rule condition was not met.

User would have to click OK and the installation aborts.

My question, I want this package to deploy to computers that do not have this template file located in this location.

If the template is not there the package deploys. If the template does exist the prompt comes up. How can I stop this prompt from coming up when I am deploying as a computer based machine policy in active directory. I do not want the package to hang there in mid space waiting for a user to click the OK button to abort!

I hope I have made myself clear.

Thanks again

John Falloon

Scripted package install/uninstall

RandyG — Tue, 07 Jun 2005 14:11:00 GMT

unable to merge registry setting -- office templates

dre — Mon, 06 Jun 2005 09:20:00 GMT

Hello,

We are not able to get a registry key merged in a package deployment.

This is the key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\Data]
"Settings"=hex:

Even if we use [Merge Registry Values] in de Rules.ini, the registry key is overwritten.

This is very annoying, because the domain users lost the template settings for Word 2002.

Combine existing value with this value, isn't possible because we get the following error message:

"This setting cannot be used for registryd values that are not strings"

We find this very strange, because merge the services file is going perfect.

Does anyone has a solution for this problem.

Thanks a lot,

Dre

Command-type Task

RMSark — Tue, 26 Apr 2005 11:38:00 GMT

Greets all.

Somewhat complex question here. A couple of weeks back we rolled out an upgrade to a software package enterprise-wide. The upgrade consisted of a pair of revamped DLLS that had to be copied into an existing directory and re-registered. Because of a rather tight deadline (HIPAA compliance rules and all that) we elected to use a command task that ran a small batch file; the batch file copied the files into the directory and registered them. Everything was done using /s and /Y switches to prevent end-users from seeing any messages. The package was set for unattended install using a domain admin account to guarantee registration would work.

All of our tests came back fine, we'd log in generic users and everything was great, the upgraded software was 100% functional.

So then we ran the upgrade throughout the hospital and that's when "bad things" started to happen. SOME PCs in the channel that were listed as "successes" were giving runtime errors consistent with unregistered DLLs, and SOME PCs that were listed as "pending" not only had the correct DLLs *but* also had them registered...as the users of those PCs were using the new, improved version of the software.

So...any ideas (a) what went wrong and (b) how to fix it? I've already tested the theory that a standard user account (without registry rights), when logging into a PC, could cause the registration to fail...except that didn't happen, everything ran just fine. Most of our PCs have the exact same image on them, WinXP Pro, SP1. There are some XP Pro SP2 machines (but some got it and some didn't) and a few Win2K boxes (again, some got it and some didn't). I've tried reinstalling to a box I pull out of the channel entirely and re-add - it still shows as pending. I've tried uninstalling the package to select machines, removing them from the channel, readding them, then installing the package fresh...still pending.

I'm at a complete loss here. Ideas?

Auto installation

Graeme — Thu, 14 Apr 2005 11:42:00 GMT

As part of a roll out of a new desktop I am going to be using RIS to install a new OS and then using Prism to deploy packages. As all machines will be using a standard base build I was wondering if it was possible to RIS the machine and then install the prism client and then install the base packages all in one go without having to use the console at all (ie use scripting and answer files to do everything).

I am interested in how others might have done this as part of a roll out.

Thanks

Cancelling a task

merge services file with self-installing fields

dre — Thu, 12 May 2005 09:18:00 GMT

We got a package that is deployed by the prism deploy console.

Everythings goes fine with the merging of the services file.

But after we saved the same package as a self-installing file the services file will be untouched.

The rules.ini is in the C:\Program Files\Prism Deploy\Client directory on the client and is identical to the one on the server version.

Does anyone has a solution of a workaround.

Thanks,
