Access Denied error on Install of Feb GAT

I am unable to install the GAT package, as I keep getting an Access is Denied error. I am running as admin on a XP SP2 PC which has VS2008 Team Suite installed (no VS2005). Additionally I have installed the VS2008 SDK and the Feb release of GAX.

Here is the relevent section of the install log (ignore the error about the ErrorIcon)

Any help in determining whatI am getting the Access is Denied on would be very useful, as I have similar issues with the Web Service Software Factory install.

Hello.

I have the same problem trying to install the

TSMMDPowerTool-February 2008CTP.msi in a XP SP2 PC with:

.NET Framework 3.5
Visual Studio Team System 2008
Guindance Automation Extensions (GAX)
Guindance Automation Toolkit (GAT) 1.4 Feb 2008

but I could install the GAT without problems.

Any relation?

Cheers

Thanks for responding Jose

That workaround does not help me (since I posted it originally I would know ) other than to try to reinstall GAT multiple times. I still get an access is denied error during the custom action which runs the managed install on the assembly, which triggersthe roll back. The same thing happens with Web Service Software Factory.

I have installed and uninstalled GAX several times thinking that it was a common factor, but have not had any success.

Since my original post I have also installed VS2005 and then reinstalled GAX to see if it made a difference which it didn't.

I have no idea what is causing the problem but it becoming quite vexing.

David Ross Robinson Thursday, April 03, 2008 5:25 PM

Hi David,

when gax or gat is installed it creates a log file which is located in the %temp% folder, that file has the gax- prefix.Can you try install gax again and sendme that log file? If you prefer you can contact meat jes AT clariusconsulting.net.

thanks!

jose.

Jose Escrich Thursday, April 10, 2008 1:01 PM

Thanks for the information about the log file Jose.

For now I am going to assume that GAX is installed correctly, as it did not 'seem' to have any issues. I tried installing GAT again, and here is the resultant log:

Hi David,

well, I know where the registration is failing, but I'm trying to find out why... can you give me more information about your box

- did you run the gat installer as administrator?
- did you change the user with the Windows Installer service is running?
- I'm guessing that you're having the same issue with any other guidance package, right?
- It seems that you've installed the Service Factory Feb 2008 there, nevertheless is not properly registered. Did you you used that package with a previous version of GAX?
- please run again the gaxtroubleshooter and check which files you've in D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Recipe Framework\

thanks.
jose.

Jose Escrich Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:40 PM

Jose,

To answer your questions:

- the gat installer was run by a user with administrator permissions

- the Windows installer service is running under the Local System account

- you are correct in guessing that I am having the same issue with other packages, as I see a similar error when I tried to install Service Factory

- I have only attempted to install Service Factory (it failed). The machine I am installing to had a new copy of VS2008, and had never had GAX, GAT, or any other packages installed prior to this

- the Recipe Famework folder has files RecipeFrameworkX.X.xml for both 8.0 and 9.0 the contents of which are identical and as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RecipeFramework SchemaVersion="1.0" TraceLevel="Error" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/pag/gax-manifest">
<Hosts>
<Host Name="VisualStudio" InstallerType="Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio.RecipeFrameworkInstaller, Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio" />
</Hosts>
<GuidancePackages>
</GuidancePackages>
</RecipeFramework>

Here is the result of me running the trouble shooter again:

Hi David,
where is located your %temp% folder? the log is showing a D:\ location in which seems that you've mapped the document and settings folder, can you give me more information about that.

thanks!
jose.

Hi Jose

My %temp% folder is D:\Documents and Settings\zz6jmk\Local Settings\Temp

On my companies image of XP, the Documents and Settings folder is mapped to the D:\ drive.

Several of my coworkers have installed both GAT and WSSF without any issues, so the mapping itself should not be the root of the issue.

I'm having exactly the same issue (on all our machines, as we've just deployed Windows Vista accross the company). We also have (part) of the userprofile on D. I've been able to reproduce this on at least 4 systems without exception.

Windows Vista RTM (no SP1 yet)
Visual studio Team Suite 2008 is installed on d:\program files\*
VS SDK
GAX is installed

UAC is off
running a command line as admin

I'm trying to install GAt to d:\program files\*

The logfile I'm getting is exacly the same as posted by David at donderdag 10 april 2008 15:24:58
