RE: Advertised application will not be installed

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,

Could you tell how you deploy your install package? Are you using Group
Policy?

VS setups don't allow full UI when being installed in advertised mode and
GP is one of those modes. If you take a look at your MSI using a tool like
Orca, you should find the following in the Property table:

(FYI, to get Orca, you should first download Windows Platform SDK. After
downloading and installing Windows Platform SDK, go to \Program
Files\Microsoft SDK\Bin folder on the machine to look for Orca.msi. Run
Orca.msi by double clicking on it, which is the setup to install Orca on
your machine.)

VSDUIANDADVERTISED This advertised application will not be installed
because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the
installation user interface option of the package to basic.

If you then go to the CustomAction table, you'll find the following row for
a type 19 custom action that makes use of this error message:

ERRCA_UIANDADVERTISED 19 [VSDUIANDADVERTISED]

If you then look in your InstallUISequence table, you'll find the following
row:
ERRCA_UIANDADVERTISED ProductState=1 1

This custom action will fire whenever the ProductState value is 1 which
means whenever the product is advertised. So if you attempt to execute the
package in full UI mode, your installation will fail if the product has
been advertised.

The Visual Studio created package requires that when deploying the package,
you choose "Basic" as the user interface option instead of "Maximum".

The user interface option is a setting available in the MMC snap-in for
deploying software. This is usually requires selecting "Advanced
Deployment" and then on the Deployment tab choosing the UI option.

Hope this helps.


Sincerely,
Linda Liu
