ryan, need ur help here ... sorry to trouble you ...

it's about Acrobat Reader v6.0.3 Switchless Installer ...

I tried to install this nice repacked app on my other Windows 98SE system ... the extraction went fine, and managed to start the MSI ...

after a short initialization, it suddenly exit without installing ....

is there something 'else' needed?

last time, when i use the 'older' 6.0.3 installer from ur site, it went fine ... but this 'newer' 6.0.3 installer didn't work on Win98SE system ... I've tried on 2 systems, still exit abnormally ...

any ideas?

@ buletov - huh?

@ cybpsych - First, the 6.0.3 exe is the same as it's always been.

Second, have you installed the Root Certificates Update? The easiest way to find out what the problem is would be to extract the archive with 7zip or WinRAR and manually double click the MSI and see where/why it errors out. Anyway, I've run into issues in the past where not having the Root Certificates Update installed was causing issues for some of the newer MSI-based installers.

thanks ryan,

i was about to do the extraction too

gonna check this Root Cert. Update <grrr>

thx again!

[cybpsych]

Ok ... this is very embarassing

Here's what i did:

:: Install Root Cert. Update --> AR603 won't install
:: Install other updates except IE6 SP1 --> AR603 won't install
:: Install IE6 SP1 --> AR603 won't install

:: Extract AR603 and ran the MSI file --> Operating system not supported!

Immediately i checked the version and found out Windows 98 ONLY!! I should've done OS checking that first! Windows 98 and 98SE looks the same.

Lesson learnt: Check the exact OS version before doing anything else!

Note: I can't upgrade this since it's in my office, so i'll just let our MIS to deal with the upgrade

man..... Windows 98???? that's freakin old. What is your company thinking?

[nujackk]

Ryan the links to the other installers still point to your old site.
I am trying to get the java installer
thanx

[nujackk]

Actually it's pointing to a site called whatcounter. which I can't connect to. Is the link correct?

[RyanVM]

Yes, the links are correct and you're the only person to report having problems.

According to whatcounter (a great download stats logger), I've had 340 switchless installer downloads in the few days my site's been on the MSFN servers. BTW, it's the same stats logging that nuhi uses for nLite. My plan is to have all downloads on my site being counted by whatcounter with the release the next update pack.

Also, there's a thing called the Edit button

[nujackk]

the reason I asked if the link was correct is, that the link to he hot fixes points to http://ryanvm.msfn.org/updatepack.html
and the link to the Java installer points to http://www.whatcounter.com/dlcount.php?id=...iles/jre502.exe

I have no problem getting the hotfixes, but both ie and ff timeout trying to get the others

edit : guess whatcounter is down. can't get nlite either. and going directly to whatcounter , just gets the same page not found.
I'll try again later. Thanx

I appreciate all the work you put into this and Will make a donation

Well, as to all companies, M*O*N*E*Y is the one thing they can only think!

[RyanVM]

I can connect to whatcounter.com just fine. Weird that you're having issues.

[nujackk]

Yeah, I was able to get nlite before with no problem.
Not sure if you just started using whatcounter, but I was able to use you site no problem before, it went down.

I'll try cleaning out both my cache and rebooting.

[RyanVM]

I started using it when I moved to the new server, though I was planning on putting it on my site one way or another.

[nujackk]

Well I'll have to try again tomorrow or something.
I have removed my extensive host file, turned off all my filters on my router, and even completely disabled my software firewall.
Still can't connect to them.
Must be something between them and comcast.
I might try forceing an new ip to see if that helps.
But thanx for the help

[RyanVM]

yeah, that was my bet too. I bet if you tracert it, you'll see it hanging before it gets to their servers

Congrats Ryan and thanks a lot msfn. You guys rock as usaul!!

Well ryan will have to catch up with u on the first.

Just got two new ones. Sure u got them already.

[RyanVM]

Probably. I'm up to 105 (non-obsolete).

[war59312]

K I'm at 108.

Guess three are obsolete since u said at least 1 probally would be since u are now including windows installer 3.1 rc1 right?

Sure you will put a list of but if u want to see if we are the same u can see if u have time.

They are in order:
