Bethrezen Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 hi alli have a copy of Norton system works 2005 and im trying to install norton utilities as a stand alone package like it once was so i copyed the contents of the norton utilities folder to my desktop and then double clicked on the NU.msi to install norton utilities but the installer is being a pain and keeps telling me it must be inviked through the main setup file and i was wondering if there is a way i can override this and make it install norton utilities on its own unencumberd by all the extra system works intergration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You have to edit it with ORCA. The internal parts of sym systemworks don't have a gui (e.g. nu.msi) so u have to edit it and use it w/switch /qn or /qbU can't create a transforms, u have to directly edit the msi.

Bethrezen Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 hiok so from what I understand having looked at ORCA I need to have 2000 or higher installed to use it is that correct ??ok so once I have ORCA installed what do I need to then ??can you provide step by step instructions ??because never having attempted anything like this I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
