[mapguide-internals] My MSI Install Issues

[Jason Birch]

I've created a patch that I think fixes these rollback problems and
attached to the following ticket:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/911

I've tried this on a Windows 2003 install, with IIS, PHP, and it appears
to work.  You will need to install the VS2008 SP1 redist first though;
not sure why the MSM bundling is not working for me; I think we're going
to have to figure out some way of creating a bootstrapper, this is
silly.

If anyone wants a copy of the installer, send me an email directly.  I
don't have a lot of bandwidth, and this thing is up over 100Mb now, but
I'm willing to share a bit :)

Hi,

Got another MSI today but can't get it to install... it rollsback at the
end
of the web services file-copy so I have two issues (logs are from the
MSI
install).

 1) Server Only Install
Looks like I am missing the service registration element?

Info 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A
program
required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your
support
personnel or package vendor. Action: MgServerInstallCA, location:
C:\Program
Files\OSGeo\MapGuide Server\bin\mgserver.exe, command: install "MapGuide
Server 2.1" 



 2) Web Server Extensions (.net Only)
Gets so close... it's a bit harsh doing a complete rollback if the
config
fails - looks like there are things that try to run and fail even if I
select to do a manual configuration.

Action start 10:28:03: InstallFinalize.
