New SMS Installer & MSI Problems

[Guest_imported]

HELLO!

I need a little help

I am creating MSI packages with the new SMS Installer (I see you have to make them on windows 2000) I can compile them on 2000 and they run on 2000 and NT4 systems but 9x says:

MSGBOX:
There is a problem with this windows installer package. a script required for this install could not be run

What the heck does that mean?!?!?!?!

Thanks,

Dave

Haven't seen that msg exactly, welcome to hell , I use wise installer for windows but it only helps so much.

Do you have the latest windows installer on the 9x machines???

If you do have the latest installer on the 9x boxes, you've most likely got some registry keys packaged that win9x doesn't like much. It's a trial & error kinda thing, good luck.

You need the latest version of windows installer for 9x.

Yes I have the latest version 2 of the windows installer installed on the systems (unless a new one came out in the
last couple of days)


No it cant be doing anything clever as all the installer does is puts display message saying completed then finished

What the HECK is missing?????

Thanks for the help,

Dave
