Repackaging Photoshop 7.0.1
If you happen to repackage Photoshop 7.0.1, follow the instructions below, but install the 7.0.1 upgrade before doing your final scan. By the way, if you haven't been to AppDeploy.com, you should visit. Most of the information there is very good.
AppDeploy.com > Packages Knowledge Base > Photoshop: "Fixing error 1911
These are the steps I took to repackage PhotoShop 7:
1. Captured the installation on a clean VMware Windows 2000 workstation, using Wise Package Studio 3.2 MSI Capture tool.
2. Used CCRP to force the registration of the proprietary Adobe type library found at: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop (this step might not be necessary)
3. Executed the program once (normally I do not do this; this step may be un-necessary)
4. NO REBOOT - every time I attempted to build this package using a reboot as part of the process, I received an error upon compiling the .msi that 'C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\local settings\temp\MSIA98.tmp\w1.cab' could not be closed. Skipping the reboot seems to have resolved this.
5. DID NOT DELETE THE ADOBE TYPELIB. The program may work initially without it, but this may cause unforseen problems down the road.
6. Compiled/Saved the .msi
7. Opened the .msi using Wise Package Studio 3.2 Windows Installer Editor. Went to 'Tables' and found the line item for 'TypeLib'. Deleted the rows in that table, but not the table itself. Leaving these rows in will cause the installation to deliver the '1911' error.
8. Resaved the .msi and tested it via straight install and GP/AD
