Hi,

I am trying to roll out Flash and Shockwave via an msi file created with
VeritasWinstall LE.
The policy assigns the software to several computers.

The entire procedure is fine right down to the automatic install of the
software but when the clients
are web browsing Intellimirror is kicked into reinstalling the product for
every flash and shockwave
item on a page - over and over again.

I presume the software should install once only so why is is constantly
reinstalling ?

Any ideas ?

The users are kids in a school and are using a mandatory profile on logon,
and I have excluded the
'documents and settings' folder from the discover process. Would this effect
the issue ?,

regards,
Adrian
 
It sounds like a "keyed" file in the MSI package is being overwriten
by a part of the operating system. Hence, the MSI keeps downloading
each time.

"Un-key" all files in the MSI (which will stop self-healing)
but should afford you a way to test it out...
