Hello everyone!
I am tring out the trial, since i think we are moving to adminstudio from Wise studio.
We are moving our production and our training to this product, if it turns out good but until now i have not had good experiences!
First thing i wanted to try was the remote packager! since this is the tool i use the most!
Problem is, i can't get it working!
First i tried a Windows 7 Danish and got this error:
Image no longer available.
The danish message says that the program cannot start since it is missing the dll file!
I tried the same on a danish XP and a UK XP, same error!
Then i left it there for a week, and today i triewd on another machine just to see if i was lucky!
a clean Windows 7 DK
then i got this error:
Image no longer available.
I have been following the guides!
But the guide in the help is not correct i think?
I found a undocumented setup file for the remote packager. i think it just creates the shortcuts?
But i have been using that one.
I have shared
C:\Program Files (x86)\AdminStudio
and point the packager path to the packager folder in the dir
and the adminstudio shared folder:
C:\AdminStudio Shared
i am running all OS'et in VMWare Workstation 7
Anyone what to do? i cannot find any help on google!
I am very experienced in MSI packaging and Wise studio.
Best Regards
Jakob

2 things you have to do to use remote packager that aren't well documented
1. Make sure the \\server\c$\Program files\adminstudio\X.X\common\ folder on the server is accessible and add it to your path statement. (this gets rid of the dll missing error)
2. Install the Visual C++ 2008 runtime from MS. (without this the program launches for 2 seconds then closes)
BTW - you can use the remote packager when running in eval mode.

Hi, how do I add it to my path statement?
My Common folder is accessible on my Server.

If your Remote Repackager capture machine is running Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can modify your path statement by performing the following steps:
1. open an elevated administrator command prompt
2. type sysdm.cpl
this opens the System Properties Control Panel applet.
3. Click the Advanced tab
4. Click the Environment Variables... button
this opens the Environment Variables dialog.
5. At the bottom of the Environment Variables dialog, highlight Path in the list of system environment variables and click the Edit... button. Make sure you are clicking the Edit... button at the bottom of the dialog...it's the one directly above the OK button.
6. At the end of the Path statement, add a semicolon and the path to your AdminStudio Common folder.
ex: I am adding ;Z:\PackagingServer\AdminStudioCommon\

Hi Evan,
I have managed to get everything working so far thanks to your help.
I'm now getting a message about the mfc100.dll not being on my PC.
I tried installing the C++ 2008 x64 redis on the machine but it's coming up with the same error.
Or do I have to install it on my AS Server, share the folder where the dll is located, and then add the location to the path on machine where I installed the remote packager?
Thanks

1. I copied all of the x64 dlls from the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 location into the Repackager directory on my Admin Studio Server.
2. Then I went to my Windows 7 x64 packaging machine and tried to run the Remote Packager. This didn't work.
3. So I copied all of the x86 dlls from the C:\Windows\System32 location into the Repackager directory on my Admin Studio Server.
4. Then I went to my Windows 7 x64 packaging machine and tried to run the Remote Packager. This is when I got the error message.
Just to make sure I have the right directory on the Admin Studio Server, my repackager directory contains some of the following folders.
Objects
Program
Redist
Remote Repackager
Script
SetupPrerequisites
etc...

I'm using the eval version of Admin Studio 2013.
I have hit a roadblock here and I can't download the standalone packager either. Both of these require the serial key of the product.

Ah, that's the problem. The eval version will behave in this way. If you are using an activated copy of AdminStudio 2013 you would not see this issue.
Yes, the eval version is restricted and does not allow for using the Remote Repackager.

And I can't use that standalone packager?
So how can I package something?
