Post Installation Snapshot Crashes Program
Hello,
While doing the Post Installation Snapshot for a particular installation, the AppDeploy Repackager reliably crashes. The snapshot gets to "Written 1920 directory entries of 5793 total directory entries.", but then crashes with the following error...
Windows then gives the following error...
The last several lines of ErrorLog.txt are...
The rest of the log is full of "RegOpenKeyEx: Access Denied" and "CRegSnapshot::GetValues_Vect- GetValue: Unknown registry type 268435468" type errors. The ErrorLog.txt file is about 16.5MB.
I have tried using both the Beta2 and Beta3 versions of AppDeploy Repackager, and both fail the same way. The machine is a brand spankin' new install of Windows Vista (32-bit) on a VMware virtual machine, with SP1 & SP2 being the only things installed. The software I am trying (unsuccessfully) to repackage is Adobe CS4 Design Premium.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm unfortunatly on quite a time crunch to get this deployed.
Thank you for your support.

"Adobe CS4 Design Premium" already comes as an MSI (well, it's more then one but anyway) so don't try to re-capture it.

Actually, CS4 does not include any MSI's. As a matter of fact, trying to deploy via GPO has been a nightmare for many (http://itninja.com/question/acrobat-6-reader-via-altiris05). Repackaging seemed like a good solution to the issue, I'm just hitting this snag here.

I did read this post, as well as many others. [sarcasm]Though your arrogance is quite helpful[/sarcasm], perhaps you did not see that the link you posted pertains specifically to CS3, not CS4. You will also note that the instructions, even if they do also work for CS4, are quite a long/tedious process. A repackaging seems like it could be an appropriate route here, and one worth investigating.
Further, the intention here is not to debate with you the advantages/disadvantages of repackaging, but to point out a snag in the AppDeploy Repackager so that it might be addressed in a future release.
Thanks,

The AppDeploy Repackager is a "simple" capturing tool and not intended for capturing MSI files.
Performing re-capture on Adobe products is event worse.
If you don't want to listen to the advices then have a safe journey on your mission.

Kim, I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say the tool is "not intended for capturing MSI files," as CS4 is not an MSI to begin with.
Anyway, I guess my ultimate goal was to communicate the error I received to Bob. Whether or not CS4 would have worked in the end, due to its complexities, is irrelevant. I just wanted to pitch in and pass along the error I received using the repackager, and pass along as much info as I could to try and help. Wasn't really interested in getting into a debate about repackaging.

The setup.exe is just a wrapper for a whole lot of MSI files. I would be stunned if Adobe changed from managed to legacy installer but not surprised ;)
Okay, I'm not debating just trying to give you the general rule regarding a vendor package.
Providing the crash info is great, the more bugs that can be fixed the better.
My guessing is that it has a problem with handling such large amount of objects (directories).
What comes prior to the below log line?
CXMLDocumentHandler::InsertDirectoryAndFileInXML Unable to save XML File
Do you get an application dump file during the crash?

I checked the dump and there is one or more exceptions that are not handled, without the symbol files for the EXE I can't check in which function/method the crash occurred.
But my guessing is still a memory allocation issue.

The next update of the Repackager will include crash catching technology. This creates a crash dump which tells me where the crash happened. That will be a big help in the future.

Download v1.2 again-- It was updated as of 2/9/2010 but as the original 1.2 was up so briefly I'm simply replacing v1.2 with a newer build. Graham believes he has caught the crashing issue in this version and, as the system where I could reproduce the issue no longer has a problem, I think he has been successful!
