Scripting

Adobe Flash Player 10.0.22.87 hangs on several machines during my GP deployment as well as during manual installation. If found that by killing the "ns452.tmp" process (numbers in process name are random) that the installation will finish successfully. I created the below VBScript which actively looks for *.tmp processes and kills them but am having issues adding this into an MST so that I can incorporate it in my GP deployment.

Has anyone experienced this hanging issue before? If so, is there a better workaround than the one I'm working on?

Can anyone assist in helping me get the below script to run before the actual MSI runs? I'm currently using WISE, created new MST, and have added a custom action "Call VBScipt From Embedded Code" just above InstallFinalize on the Execute Immediate tab. If run msiexec and include the mst file, I get "Error 2762. Cannot write script record. Transaction not started." The sequence number for my custom action in the InstallExecuteSequence table is 69 when InstallFinalize is 70.

If I run this script manually, then run the MSI installer manually, it works fine by actively scanning the process list and then kills any *.tmp processes so that the MSI can finish installing.
