Roaming Computing System (Windows Desktop Edition) 3.0 - Issues

Workstation Issues

Are we installing printer files automatedly or through Point'n'Print?

7-zip file type associations

autopatcher - need to do something to get it to run auomatically off CD

Thunderbird

Problems when sending mail in copying mail to Sent folder

Can't access mailboxes because timed out - should the IMAP concurrent connection number be increased?

Possible fixes:

In the profile directory is a file for doing phishing protection. It's 8MB large so will slow down logging on/off

IMAP headers in the user profile can be numerous if the user has a lot of mail, so could affect logon/off time

OpenOffice

Openoffice is saving to the per-machine dictionary rather than per-user

OpenOffice backup location needs to be somewhere the user is allowed to write to

WPKG Packaging issues

If we don't have uninstallers for Enigmail and Thunderbird dictionaries, when Thunderbird is removed and these packages' settings aren't removed from the WPKG.xml file, are we ok?

CREATE GDI+ SECTION; CHANGE GDI+.BAT BACK TO COPYING TO SCRIBUS PROGRAM DIRECTORY

OpenOffice uninstaller doesn't remove the user's Startup shortcut

Picasa uninstaller says "Would you like to remove the Picasa database? If you are reinstalling click 'No'.". I chose No and it had a dialog saying: "ExitAsk failed - Error opening uninstall page (0)". Though this may not definately have come from Picasa.

Eraser wants a reboot before its removal is done - so the uninstaller fails cos eraser.exe remains

Adobe Reader says it needs a reboot, do now or later (and exit code 3010)

Thunderbird's registry exists check fails on this: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla Thundebird", and this: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla", but not this: "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\"

Both registry keys 'Mozilla' and 'Mozilla Thunderbird' exist

If we have reboot=true there's a reboot after the package is installed. It would be better to save the reboot till the end. "No reboot was necessary. All updates are complete." implies that it works this way. WPKG needs rebootnow and rebootlater commands

JRE MSI - this might be useful - (TWEAK should remove these): %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\{3248F0A6-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150060}, J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6.msi, 1033.MST

JRE MSI - this might be useful - (TWEAK should remove these): %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Sun\Java\jre1.5.0_08, jre1.5.0_08.msi

install problems

GIMP-help claims can't find gimp install dir in registry - has this gone away?

ghostscript needs its pre-configuration in text files understanding by us

Picasa loads after install

uninstall problems

Nero BurnRights exit code 10005 once

Thunderbird exit code 20

Filezilla says: 'delete all registry keys created by FileZilla...'

WinSCP and PuTTY prompt with questions about what you want to clean up - this may be OK

Scribus uninstaller requires 'OK' pressing after completion. use /HD?? switch to find what installer was built with cos this may be Scribus' fault rather than NSIS'

If Nero BurnRights isn't installed and you remove it it says "nero burnrights not detected on your computer" and wants you to press 'OK', despite using /silent. (we may not be getting the required reboot after Nero BurnRights, so we get popup when trying to install it, not always tho). (something is rebooting and so we don't get everything removed)

Picasa - "Would you like to remove the Picasa database? If you are reinstalling click 'No'." - which may be a valid question to ask

Picasa - loads web browser to ask why we're uninstalling
