g1n Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hello there, i've got a really weird prob over here. Facts of configuration: Windows 2003 Server (Domain) WinXP SP2 clients .NET framework 2.0 installed newest Windowsinstaller applied MSI build by Paint.NET Setup I'm trying to install Paint.NET 3.10 with a GroupPolicyObject in a Windows 2003 Domain. I've downloaded the setupfile from the official site, and build an MSI package using the integrated parameters. The MSI package has been build successfully and i've had integrated it into the GPO. This GPO is linked with some computergroups within the domain. After deploying this Policy, the setup started on every computer. After loggin in, no Paint.NET has been installed (on none of those PCs). After searching the eventlog i found on every Computer this errormessage: Source: MsiInstaller Event: 11721 Product: Paint.NET v3.10 -- Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: _577D73A5_8502_4A32_A3DC_26C3DEF80357, location: C:\Programme\Paint.NET\SetupNgen.exe, command: /install DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1 PDNUPDATING=0 SKIPCLEANUP=0 "PROGRAMSGROUP=" QUEUENGEN=0 I've tried to built another package with other parameters, same result. Any Suggestions? I'm at the End of my Knowledge. I'd forgotten, installing with the same MSI file as local administrator is no problem.

Bob Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If I'm way off base, let me know. No offense, but you are. Paint.NET can be installed through AD/GPO, there's even a dedicated page for it. ---- g1n: Just a try... Is the .NET Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727 (Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN) ...service activated on your machines? It's the only "third-party" program I can think of. By the way: location: C:\Programme\Paint.NET\SetupNgen.exe, command: /install DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1 PDNUPDATING=0 SKIPCLEANUP=0 "PROGRAMSGROUP=" QUEUENGEN=0 ? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g1n Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi, the parameter "programsgroup=" Should define that there will be no extragroup created in the startmenu, what means that the paint.net link will be placed at all programs. i've got the msi options from here: http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/doc/2 ... ation.html Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN -> Should it be activated or not?!

Bob Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Microsoft .NET Framework NGEN -> Should it be activated or not?! Activated, from my I'm-no-admin point of view. Quote No. Way.

g1n Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 It's activated for manually starting. if i try to change that, the services changes itself back to "manually". I'd recreated the MSI package with theese settings c:\Paint.exe /createmsi /targetdir=%PROGRAMFILES%\Paint.NET /checkforupdates=0 /checkforbetas=0 /JPGPNGBMPEDITOR=0 /tgaeditor=1 /desktopshortcut=0 /programsgroup=Paint.NET i'd renamed the filename! the silly thing is, the evntlogentry is the same...still: DESKTOPSHORTCUT=1 PDNUPDATING=0 SKIPCLEANUP=0 "PROGRAMSGROUP=" QUEUENGEN=0 dunno why! and the best ist...when i install the package manually, it creates a desktopshortcut!

Bob Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 It's activated for manually starting. if i try to change that, the services changes itself back to "manually". Same happen here, so it seems like it's a normal behavior. Can't go further, sorry, can't you get a more detailed error log, so someone versed in GPO admin may answer? Quote No. Way.

Bob Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 You've .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your computers, right? Did you tried to follow manually the steps described in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=854 ? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob.

g1n Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 yes, and I've got no problem with install or uninstall paint.net manually. i'd tried with a complete remove (with everything!)...no chance. .NET framework is working fine, there 're no problems with other programs which using it.

g1n Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 hey guys, i stopped trying to deploying the package with GPO and wrote a script which is running before windowslogin....a startupscript. and guess what....the same error! That's the script: IF EXIST "%PROGRAMFILES%\Paint.NET\PaintDotNet.exe" goto paint.ende X:\Installationsdateien\Paint.NET\paint.net.exe /auto TARGETDIR=C:\Programme\Paint.NET DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 CHECKFORBETAS=0 CHECKFORUPDATES=0 JPGPNGBMPEDITOR=0 TGAEDITOR=1 copy X:\Installationsdateien\Paint.NET\plugins\*.* "%PROGRAMFILES%\Paint.NET\Effects" :paint.ende Setup starts and works fine....and get stopped with this error. I dunno why, but paint.NET seems to be resistan against "installing before login"! the testsystem was clean...only winXP and .Net Framework were installed, no paint.net @anytime any ideas? EDIT: is it useful to install all patches/updates of .NET Framework 2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
