MSI Setup does not work with SMS2003

[w_oliver]

Hi hope somebody from Macromedia reads this!

There are at least two problems in the new standalone MSI setup package
sw_lic_full_installer.msi.

1) You use the same MSI GUID for the new installer and the old
mm_fl_sw_installer.msi, which makes it impossible to distinguish the currently
installed product. Also the setup of the new MSI does not work correctly if the
old package is installed. Please change the GUID!!!

2) It is impossible to deploy the MSI package to computers via SMS 2003 and
advanced security. The MSI package uses the users Application Data directory to
temporary store files. This directory and user settings do not exist in this
case! Please change the behavior to use the environment variable TEMP!
When you use SMS to deploy, you get the following error message:

"Error 1606. Could not access network location \Macromedia\Shockwave Player\."

I created two logfiles, one as interactively logged on user and one when SMS
tries to install the product:

Thank you very much!

Ditto on the 1606 error, but using Group Policy package assignment instead of SMS. The Flash MSI files are fine though.

[cgreggo]

:disgust;

Thank you for contacting Macromedia Technical Support.

We understand that you are having issues installing Macromedia Shockwave
Player. It is possible there are settings in your Microsoft Active Directory
that is conflicting with the MSI installer. Other than the MSI installer that
is part of our player distribution e-mail, we suggest using the standalone
installer instead:


http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/10.1.0.01
1/Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe

Or you can try using the Flash-Shockwave MSI installer file below:

http://www.macromedia.com/go/fl_sw_installer

To test your Shockwave player plugin, please visit the link below:

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/

Please take note that there are a lot of factors that can affect the Shockwave
plugin. Again, we strongly suggest that you have the latest version of your
Internet browser installed as this usually fixes most plugin player related
issues.

We hope that you find the above information useful. Should you have further
concern, please feel free to contact us.

FYI - The combined installer installs FlashPlayer 7 with ShockwavePlayer 10.1,
but at least it didn't error out.

[deb.debak]

hi, I try mm_fl_sw_installer.msi.but with nothing usefull. Error against... I can't install Shockwave with GPO deployment.

[w_oliver]

Status report:

From Macromedia Support:

"...I did a little investigation and it turns out the 2 issues you pointed out
are indeed logged into the Director Bugbase which is good news!

The Director/Shockwave team has indicated that when they do another update of
the Shockwave Player they'll be able to resolve the first issue, but at this
time I don't have a specific date for that..."

So, at least they are working on it, but the new security problems with Flash
Player 7 should make them hurry!

BTW: Recently i had to setup a Win98 PC - got the same error :(

[mhurley13]

I took this from a topic over at AppDeploy

"The MSI contains a unusual Custom Action type 35 called: "setPROFILE". It is
used to set the Directory "PROFILE" to "[%APPDATA]\Macromedia\Shockwave
Player". We had some Problems with this Custom Action (Error 1603) so we
dropped this Custom Action from InstallExecuteSequence and rebuild it in
Directory Table and RemoveFile Table.

Wolfgang Zerzawy
CleverITS
www.cleverITS.com"

I have not tested this yet but it might be the answer to our problem.

I had come across this same issue with an SMS deployment of AutoCAD 2006 as it
contained the ShockWave installer as part of its install package. I had to
remove it completely from the install to get SMS 2003 to deploy AutoCAD 2006.
This info from the AppDeploy forum might do the trick. I am not totally
familiar with editing msi tables, but I will try it with ORCA and/or WISE
Package Studio and see if that works.

Good luck.

[cgreggo]

Saw that same entry at AppDeploy (great site!) but could not decipher what
"dropped this Custom Action" and "rebuild it in Directory Table and RemoveFile
Table" meant. I can set properities via ORCA no problem, but this was too
advanced.

Yes, please do pass along your steps if you're successful.

[mhurley13]

Well here is what I have done so far:

1) edited the msi file with ORCA and removed the Custom Action 35 from the
CustomAction Table. (couldn't do it with WISE as there is a reference in the
original MSI in one of the merge modules that is looking for a directory on one
of the packager's PCs...so it errors out)

2) Installed the "edited" MSI on a clean test PC...went to
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ in IE and Macromedia Shockwave
Player was working with version 10 showing up in the window.

3) uninstalled Shockwave. Installed Shockwave version 8 on a clean PC. Ran my
"edited" MSI...went to http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ in IE and
Macromedia Shockwave Player was working with version 10 showing up in the
window.

I am not sure what the custom action is refering to. It looks like it is
referncing a Windows environmental variable for C:\Documents &
Settings\%username%\Application Data\

This is a problem with SMS 2003 deployments as this version of SMS uses the
system account to install software and the system account does not have a
C:\Documents & Settings profile for Shockwave's MSI to write to...this leads to
the 1603 errors.

I tried to change the "Target" information for teh custom action to use
[%ALLUSERPROFILE]\Application Data\Macromedia\Shockwave Player\ but the MSI
still errored out.

I am going to use the "edited" version for deployment...if anyone figures out
how to edit the MSI as referenced by the posting at AppDeploy.com please post.
I couldn't see how to add the information in the CustomAction 35 entry into the
Directory and RemoveFile tables as Wolfgang stated.

Thanks,

Marc

[blackbrow]

Hi,

I have got it to work OK now.

Using ORCA I created a Transform and changed the SetPROFILE custom action to
"[%TEMP]\Macromedia\Shockwave Player\". After this I no longer got 1606 error,
but one about user shell folders'26'. I recognised this from another MSI I was
playing with and realised that I needed to perform a per-machine installation,
so I added to the Property table, ALLUSERS=1

The installation then completed successfully.

Hope it helps someone.

[mhurley13]

Thanks Blackbrow...I will try that fix out.

On a side note for SMS 2003 users. If you are deploying the MSI with the /qn
switch to install with no user interface make sure you UNBLOCK the MSI file in
your package source directory and make sure it has propigated that way when
deployed to your DPs. If not, and it tries to run on an XP SP2 system it will
not install as it is waiting for the user to click OK to running the MSI.

To UNBLOCK a file, right click on the file, choose Properties, and then on the
General tab underneath the Advanced button if it has an UBLOCK button, click on
it to unblock the file.

Marc

[s3031508]

Thanks Blackbrow. I will try that.

[Bill Bradley]

I've been using ZENWorks 3.2 for 6 years, and...struggling with those apps that
do NOT install right, when using the System Account. I have gotten all but one
to install by using the MSI parameter ALLUSERS=2. This usually installs the
balky apps correctly.

I laughed my rear off when SMS 2003 changed the way things ran from a Domain
Account to the System Account--now, MS just has to convince thousands of
developers to change their installation routines, and, all will be well...<G>

[SMSPitt]

Has anyone tried rolling out Shockwave using the SMS Advanced Client Network Access Account?

Thanks

Larry

[SMSPitt]

Hello,

Can you please tell me where to I can get the msi file named
sw_lic_full_installer.msi?

I have the full executable and am not sure if there is a command line to
extract the MSI From. Also, do you know if this installer will install the
Yahoo Toolbar by default? I am not permitted to use this so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks very much.

Larry

[steelbytes]

see http://www.macromedia.com/licensing/distribution/ (from memory, it does not include that silly toolbar)

Using Marc's method I was able to correct the "Error 1606. Could not access

network location \Macromedia\Shockwave Player\."

issue. I was deploying with Windows Server 2003 AD to a test OU that
continually failed with several MsiInstaller and UserEnv errors. Removing
Custom Action 35 with the ORCA editor did the job straight away.

I also noticed that there was no Yahoo Toolbar after the install and no user
input required after logging in and invoking the player with our Shockwave
enabled training website.

All good news.

Thanks for the write up Marc.

[StadtRastatt]

The newly released Shockwave player 10.1.1.016 still contains the custom action 35 and the error described in this topic :-(

[VictorMR]

Hi All,

I have read all the threads and tested all the recommendations and came up
with the following:

1. Used ORCA to open and edit the msi file and modified the
"setPROFILE" Custom Action type 35 from the CustomAction Table from
\Macromedia\Shockwave Player\ to \Macromedia\Shockwave Player\
2. Deployed the new msi via SMS 2003 with advanced security, to a clean
test PC and a Clean test PC with a previous version of the player installed.
3. Tested both PCs by going to
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome using IE. The Shockwave 10 Player
worked.

[StephenCWLL]

I've just starting looking at Shockwave Player 10.1 and thus have found
the joyful 1606 error just yesterday :(

Product: Macromedia Shockwave Player -- Error 1606. Could not access
network location \Macromedia\Shockwave Player\.

I have used ORCA to create a transform file and change the SetPROFILE
custom action to numerous different locations by changing the
environmental variable to either TEMP, AppDataFolder or
ALLUSERSPROFILE\Macromedia\Shockwave Player\ but every time I deploy it
I get the same 1606 error.

Have I missed something? Others appear to have got it work by making
this change yet I cannot :(

Help please!

Thanks,
Stephen.

[-MH]

The AppData environment variable referenced in the target of the setPROFILE
custom action does not exist for the LocalSystem user that performs
machine-assigned installations. Since CA return-processing options cannot be
used on type 35 CAs, the only option is to delete the custom action (in which
case the installer will try to remove files from, and create folders in
\Profile) or change its target to something that does exist (such as
\Macromedia\Shockwave Player\ or \Macromedia\Shockwave Player\). I prefer using
Windows Installer-defined properties rather than relying on environment
variables (such as ) that may or may not exist on the target computer.

The nearest means of accomplishing Macromedia's intended funtion is to edit
the MSI in Orca (search msdn.microsoft.com for orca). Find the CustomAction
table on the left, then the row with Action setPROFILE on the right. Change the
Target column from \Macromedia\Shockwave Player\ to \Macromedia\Shockwave
Player\. I don't know why Macromedia didn't do that to begin with. Anyway,
click save and your MSI is usable.

TO MACROMEDIA:
This is why MSDN says explicitly: "Developers must avoid authoring components
that place files into one of the User Profile folders. These files would not be
available to all users in multi-user situations and could cause the installer
to permanently view the component as requiring repair." ... or just break your
installer in this case. If you need this functionality, it should be authored
into the Shockwave executable, not its installer.

Also... when will Macromedia provide an MSI-based Shockwave installer for
plugin-based browsers like they have for Flash?

[StephenCWLL]

What should one change the setPROFILE target to instead? I've already
tried non-environmental variable such as AppDataFolder and still get
the 1606 error. I'd rather not delete the setPROFILE command. I have
been using a transform on the MSI and not a direct edit so I wonder if
my transform isn't taking effect? Is there anyway to check that a
transform file is having the desired effect?

Thanks,
S

[stateauto]

This works very well, although I don't know what the implications of using the
Temp directory are. We clean out our temp directories at logoff, is there
anything that gets stored in this folder that needs to be saved between logons?

Also, I should point out that according to the license agreement Macromedia
provides for redistribution, which if you have the MSI installer for Shockwave
10 you probably agreed to at some point, says the following:

(b) Restrictions.
Licensee?s right to use the license in Section 2(a) above is limited by the
following restrictions:
...
Licensee must use the installers provided by Macromedia AS IS and may not
modify or alter the way the files are installed without express written
permission from Macromedia.

It seems Macromedia needs to tell us this is an okay solution -or- fix the
problem, immediately.

[w_oliver]

Hi All!

I am very happy that there are so many people in the community, which are able
to help. If we have to fix the installer by ourselves, because Macromedia is
unable (or unwilling) to do it (they had 6 months by now!!!), then i can live
with that. I have given up on getting help from the offical Macromedia Support
- just getting silly automated E-Mails which will not help anybody.

So, thanks to all again!

Oliver

[cgreggo]

Your steps provided me with an MSI of Shockwave that worked great for my Group Policy deployment.

THANKS!

[jumbo06]

The solution suggested worked great. However, using SMS 2003 to install the
Package worked but it has no record in Add/Remove Program. Which is a problem
for inventory collection. I need to push this to thousand of users. Any
suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[-MH]

I haven't had this problem, but usually this is caused by the
ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT property somehow getting set to 1 (or probably any true
value). Maybe check the property table of your MSI?

[KaffeGoblen]

This work very well! THX alot!

Thanks -MH,
It's now January 2007 and the problem still hasn't been resolved.
I've downloaded the latest version today and it's still the same
sw_lic_full_installer.msi package. After a couple hours of trouble shooting the
failed install and finally searching on the error code 1606, I came across your
post which resolved the issue immediately. If anyone needs the older version of
Orca (I believe it's ver 2.0) you can get it here:

Just to confirm the issue still exists in the MSI for Shockwave Player

then used this transform with the original MSI to successfully deploy via Group

When I try to download the shockwave player, a message appears that states that
there was a connection error and to check my internet connection; however, I
have a fine connection to the internet. Also, when this message comes up and a
I press Try Again the same message ALWAYS comes up. I would much appreciate
someone's assistance in my dilema.

[gconrad]

We don't have Orca. How can I fix this with wise MSI editor? Is it possible?

Thanks

[Mike Elliott]

Can confirm that this change is present within release 10.2.0.023.

[george_churchill]

I get the same problem in that when SMS installs the msi it does not register
in Add Remove programs, on top of this you are unable to uninstall it unless
you install it without sms and then run an uninstall command.

thanks

I have got it to work OK now.

Using ORCA I created a Transform and changed the SetPROFILE custom action to
"[%TEMP]\Macromedia\Shockwave Player\". After this I no longer got 1606 error,
but one about user shell folders'26'. I recognised this from another MSI I was
playing with and realised that I needed to perform a per-machine installation,
so I added to the Property table, ALLUSERS=1

The installation then completed successfully.

Hope it helps someone.

Thought I'd add that I'm using ZenWorks 4 to run the MSI, but that uses the

SYSTEM user too, so I assume it would work the same in SMS.[/Q]

Worked for me, thanx a million

[visualjava1216]

It also work for me too! Thanks for this info!

Hi All!

I am very happy that there are so many people in the community, which are able
to help. If we have to fix the installer by ourselves, because Macromedia is
unable (or unwilling) to do it (they had 6 months by now!!!), then i can live
with that. I have given up on getting help from the offical Macromedia Support
- just getting silly automated E-Mails which will not help anybody.

So, thanks to all again!

@ stefanlyl & Macrominded

I have seen a few other people posting about problems with facebook, however
I've yet to come across a fix.

You might want to start a new thread about the problem, you may get more help
that way.

[jabbayoda1]

I've seen Microsoft Active Directory settings conflicting with the MSI installer. Reinstall seems to work.

I've seen good examples at this http://www.hungryflix.com site.

[Helen_BLH]

Thanks for replying.

I would really like to see the players improved and well performed. I must
admit that i find it hard to use them while my antivirus is running but i am
not sure that this is your problem :)

[HR]Thank you for contacting Macromedia Technical Support.

We understand that you are having issues installing Macromedia Shockwave
Player. It is possible there are settings in your Microsoft Active Directory
that is conflicting with the MSI installer. Other than the MSI installer that
is part of our player distribution e-mail, we suggest using the standalone
installer instead:


http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/10.1.0.01
1/Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe

Or you can try using the Flash-Shockwave MSI installer file below:

http://www.macromedia.com/go/fl_sw_installer

To test your Shockwave player plugin, please visit the link below:

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/

Please take note that there are a lot of factors that can affect the Shockwave
plugin. Again, we strongly suggest that you have the latest version of your
Internet browser installed as this usually fixes most plugin player related
issues.

We hope that you find the above information useful. Should you have further
concern, please feel free to contact us.

[HR]FYI - The combined installer installs FlashPlayer 7 with ShockwavePlayer
10.1, but at least it didn't error out.[/q]

[Helen_BLH]

Thanks for clarifying this. You managed to solve one of my client's main problem.

Thanks again.

Hi,
Is it possible to rename the MSI file? Last, do you know if I can install a different toolbar by default?

Any help is appreciated,

Find in Orca the CustomAction table on the left, then the row with Action
setPROFILE on the right. Change the Target column from
[%APPDATA]\Macromedia\Shockwave Player\ to [AppDataFolder]\Macromedia\Shockwave
Player\.
