Usually, nothing is different. But since in this case something clearly is, enable detailed logging of installer, and compare the log of the manual installation vs. managed installation (the one from &quot;add new programs&quot;). Also, check if there's anything interesting written in the event log at that point.

Thanks, vadimrapp1. I'm not sure how to enable detailed logging, though. I have WISE 4.01 standard, does that help?

Thanks. MSI logging helped point out 2 problems.

If don't mind sharing, please post the specifics - what exactly was different in the installation when published in GPO vs. manual installation. It would be useful to know what _can_ be different.

I created a WISE MSI and it installs fine when double-clicked and installed. After publishing thru active directory and installing from add/remove programs, the app &quot;resumes installation&quot; every time the shortcut is clicked (and it does work after the reinstall). Can someone tell me what is different about publishing an app and how to fix it?<br />

Thanks.

WISE package reinstalls every time shortcut is clicked only when published thru add/remove

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
