problem installing rightfax
Hi All,
I was wondering if somebody here could help me.
I'm trying to install RightFax 9.3 client application via a GPO.
I first extracted an administrative install using setup.exe /a
Then I created an MST file using ORCA specifying different properties.
I created a Computer GPO and added both the MSI and the MST files.
I have set up a test system and when switching it on, the welcome screen says installing managed application blah blah blah...
However the application is not installed.
The event viewer reports :
Application Management, Event Error 102
The install of application RightFax Client Applications from policy 1test_RightFax failed. The error was : The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.
Looking in the MSI log file:

Could somebody please tell me what is going on.
The share is accessible, when run msiexec from command line everything works just fine.
Windows installer cleanup doesn't help.

Erik

Verify that the TARGETDIR exists and has SOURCEDIR as its DefaultDir column value.
Where did you store the media on the server?

I think the clue is here:
MSI (s) (70:90) [08:20:30:104]: SOURCEMGMT: net source '\\orion\erik\' is invalid.
The installing account doesn't seem to know that the server and/or share exists.

The installing account would be system, as it is a computer configuration gpo, right?
System has sufficient rights to the share.
However I found out that if I don't use the administrative install msi (which is created by executing setup.exe /a) but just the standard msi file it seems to work correctly.
However, Captaris is not saying you would need an administrative install it it did make sense to do that.
Stupid [8|].
But installing seems to work correctly now.
However, 1 more problem now, if I use computer configuration gpo the fax printer driver will not be added/installed. Anybody here having same issues like this?
Thank you!

Restart the "Spooler" service using the ServiceControl table.
You stop the service before installing the printer and then start the service after the printer has been installed. This is all done by the StopServices & StartServices action for you so you don't have to do anything except populating the ServiceControl table.

GREAT!
It works indeed. [:)]
I tested it by stopping the spooler and then execute from a command prompt msiexec /i blahblah.msi TRANSFORMS=blah.mst /qn.
After a reboot the printer was visible.
However could you give me some more info how to stop the spooler?
I'm quite a noob, but I guess I have to edit the MSI file with ORCA?
Should I put this in the MST file?
When I add a row in ServiceControl I need to fill in the following Fields
ServiceControl (PK)
Event
Arguments
Wait
Component_
Could you please tell me what to fill in these fields? I honestly don't have a clue.
Thank you!

Help you with what, exactly? Adding the MSI/MST to a GPO? That's pretty much covered in the MMC's help, isn't it?
