Silent install w mst files reports invalid package

Hi all,

I tried to make a kit using installshield tuner. I selected the option I wanted for the mst, mainly ST and Single Logon and created the mst file.

I, then, altered the setup.ini :

old line :

CmdLine=

new line :

CmdLine=TRANSFORMS=AFE_851_En.mst /qb+

This should result in a silent install when lauching setup.exe.

At least, it worked with 8.5.0 and previous release I used.

With the package CZ5S3EN (Client Only) or CZ5S0EN(Full Client), it works properly when setup.exe is launched locally.

The problem is that if I launch if from a UNC location, it ends with a “could not open the installation package … please verify the access right” dialog box.

Packages v 8.5.0 + FP1 created the same way though the same location (except for the last folder) are working properly. NT access right are exactly the same for both version of the package.

I have to use UNC location for SmartUpgrade, so I need this to work through the network.

I translated the message from french because my OS is french so it may not be exact.

I have the exact same issue with english OS but didn’t have a chance to take the exact message …

Thanks for any ideas or hints.

regards

Subject: I had the same issue

I had the same issue. Workaround was to create mst file with minimum options changes/specified.

Subject: Still the same

I even recreated an mst without any change and still have the same issue.

Could this be a problem with Single Logon ?

I ask that because I have single logon installed and of that post : http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/b10e1ca9418d030985257658006474bf

Subject: even worse

I tested that just in case : uncompressed the package CZ5S3EN on a folder. I accessed the folder using UNC and launched setup.I received the same error message.

Subject: UNC Path length?

Can you confirm the length of your UNC path is less than 256 chars?

Subject: Yes it is

I used two different UNC on 2 different servers for accessing setup : \[IP]\Migration851En\setup.exe

\[Server name]\administrator\Download director\851\en\setup.exe

The two servers are in two different environnement.

First one is in a full AD W2k3, the second is simply an access from a XP machine to anothe r XP machine without any AD.
