Hi!
I could not install MSI package using OpenSSH secure shell.
Procedure is the following:
1. ssh administrator@windowsnode
2. msiexec /I package.msi /qn /L*v "c:\logfile.txt"
Installation aborts after some time. In the logfile there are the
following interesting lines:
MSI (s) (90:90): Skipping action: CCPSearch (condition is false)
MSI (s) (90:90): Skipping action: RMCCPSearch (condition is false)
MSI (s) (90:90): Doing action: VBSCheckForDependentProducts
MSI (s) (90:90): Creating MSIHANDLE (1) of type 790542 for thread 1424
MSI (s) (90:90): Creating MSIHANDLE (2) of type 0 for thread 1424

MSI (s) (90:90): Closing MSIHANDLE (1) of type 790542 for thread 1424
MSI (s) (90:90): Note: 1: 1708
MSI (s) (90:90): Product: <Some XYZ package> -- Installation operation
failed.
The specialty of this MSI package is that it calls VBS functions.
Installation aborts before VBS function is executed (during function
call, I believe). Even if VBS function is an empty one the symptom is
the same.
This does not happen if package is installed locally, that is in
Command Prompt on Windows node. This also does not happen if some
other (commercial) SSH servers are used (e.g. MKS secshd, WinSSHD).
OpenSSH is installed from latest package setupssh381-20040709.zip.
Windows systems are Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows XP and
Windows XP SP2. Version of cygwin1.dll is 1005.10.0.0.
I personally believe that it must be something with threads. If I am
right cygwin does not use Windows native threads. I would like to know
if this is known behavior and if there is some patch or configuration
setting to solve this problem?
Best regards,
Ludvik
