Software Deployment

G'Day SAB's,

Sounds like a dcom error to me.
Try running this vb script embedded into your mst (type 70) near the beginning of the Exe Immediate/Deferred (after CostInitialize) and again after InstallFinalise. We have done this to all versions of ISScript version files that we deploy without issues.

'This script changes the DCOM Identity for launching applications from the Interactive User mode to the Launching User
'Especially useful when using ISScript applications.
Dim WMIService, WshShell, DComApps, DComApp
Set WMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set DComApps = WMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_DComApplicationSetting where Caption='InstallShield InstallDriver' and RunAsUser='Interactive User'")
Set DComApps1 = WMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_DComApplicationSetting where Caption='InstallShield InstallDriver String Table' and RunAsUser='Interactive User'")
For Each DComApp In DComApps
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\" & DComApp.AppID & "\RunAs"
Next
For Each DComApp In DComApps1
WshShell.RegDelete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\" & DComApp.AppID & "\RunAs"
Next

Hi,
you need to analyze the log file, to see where the install breaks.

I know it's frowned upon to make direct modifications to vendor apps but with isscript files why couldn't you just change the registry entry in the Registry table from "Interactive User" to "Launching User" Wouldn't this work as well?

It's frowned upon because there's no need to directly edit ANY MSI - just apply a transform.

VBSCab -> please do not mind , but we are not talking about the MSI to be edited. The problem that I am facing is after creating Transform.

~thanks,sabs.

Er, I quoted JoeDown's post and, in the bottom-right corner of my post, it states 'in reply to joedown'...
