I have just installed setup-plone41-4.1.0-5091-win32.exe from Plone.org. There are many changes from Plone 4.0.x Windows installer, including the disappearance of Plone Controller and ZEO automatically installing via buildout.
I understand how to start/stop Plone from the command line, so Plone Controller's disappearance is only a minor inconvenience. But I am flailing around with understanding the ZEO install. I have searched here on Stack Overflow, Google, Plone.org, the issue tracker and Enfold Systems' website but cannot find any documentation for this new Windows installer. The only documentation provided in the install itself is a commercial for Enfold Proxy (for which I am already a customer).
Where can I find out more information on the new Windows installer and the changes that have been made? Is Plone Controller gone for good? Why is ZEO now part of the default install?
Any assistance is appreciated.
I think you are looking for the new Windows Plone Installer documentation here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19-o6yYJWuvw7eyUiLs_b8br4C-Kb8RcyHcQSIf_4Pb4/edit?hl=en_US
Once you have the services installed you can stop/start them from the services interface under Computer Management (you don't have to run them from the command line).

We have a windows service installed as a part of our msi WIX installer . During upgrade we are trying to just restart service instead of doing complete reinstall to safe guard the service user creds.
A lot of posts discussed in this regard but nothing is conclusive.
Tried out disabling DeleteServices during upgrade by doing below,
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<DeleteServices>NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</DeleteServices>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Note: The above code is in old MSI as well
But still saw service getting actually deleted and reinstalled. Tried disabling installservice during upgrade as below
<InstallServices>NOT WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED</InstallServices>
But service is in stopped state and installer fails in action, ExecServiceConfig with code 1603 since service is not in running state.
Any pointers on this will be helpful
I wrote an answer for something similar (I think) a while back: Wix: Windows Service sometimes uninstalled when upgrading. Please read that link for several, different suggestions.
Minor Upgrade: In addition to the options in the linked answer, you can use a minor upgrade as well - if that is at all a viable option. In a minor upgrade the product is not uninstalled and then reinstalled, but rather upgraded "in-place". For minor upgrades to work you need to follow the component rules to the letter - which can be hard to do, but you can then definitely upgrade without losing your service creds. See bottom here for how a minor upgrade is applied. And I will just link to an answer with a little bit of info on late REP.
Permanent Component: As the linked answer above states, you can set the component with the service configuration settings to be permanent. In this case it will never be uninstalled during upgrade, but not during a real uninstall either. Accordingly you have to manually clean out the service installation and file installation on "real" uninstall (as opposed to a major upgrade initiated uninstall which sets UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE). Sort of an easy approach that I don't really like that much.
(Managed) Service Accounts: Not something I have used, but the newer concept of managed service accounts as described in the above, linked answer could be investigated? Step-by-step.
Late REP / Service MSI: Scheduling RemoveExistingProducts correctly late means your service should not be uninstalled during upgrade scenarios (see the linked answer for details). It can be hard to follow all component rules to the letter, but you can ease that by putting your service in its own, minimal service installation MSI, and then installing via a WiX Burn bundle (installing MSI files in sequence).
As stated several times, please do read this similar answer: Wix: Windows Service sometimes uninstalled when upgrading.
Actually my requirement is an enterprise installation of Chrome Extension automatically over 1000s of Windows machines.
I tried to install manually in my machine. I have setup the update_url in registry but I am not finding it in Chrome://extensions. For which I found around Stackoverflow that the local installation of extensions is prohibited, rather the package has to come through Web Store.
Well, so I am tried to follow, Installation of Extensions automatically, in Chrome Development Guide
# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iu6I0MhyrvyS5h5re5ai8RSVO2sYx2gWI4Zk4Tp6fgc/edit#heading=h.op2l1nosq8x7
Which suggested to use Chrome for Business and directed me to the link
# https://enterprise.google.com/chrome/chrome-browser/
But the bundle is not installing. It is throwing error as attached
Chrome Bundle installation error
Please help me
- Install Chrome bundle
- or Install extension automatically (other than through Web Store)
I do not believe that an enterprise install is a requirement.
However, AFAIK you can't set policies in the local registry - those will be ignored. Don't quote me on that though..
Computer must be joined to a Windows domain.
Configuration needs to come from domain policies as described in ExtensionInstallForcelist.
You can check whether this policy is loaded from chrome://policy
Note that you haven't provided a snippet of your registry with the setting.
I'm afraid that errors with the installer (especially so generic-sounding) are off-topic here; you can try other StackExchange sites:
Super User (for installation errors)
Server Fault (for deployment questions)
During re-installation of Dyntrace I getting below error, Tried to google it but didn't find any appropriate solution.
When you say "re-installation" does it mean you hit the "Modify" option or did you install a 6.1 on an existing 6.0 installation?
Can you look at the Windows Event Log? Typically installers write error messages in the windows event log.
What I'Ve seen in the past is that some anti-virus software corrupated the msi file that people downloaded from our download servers. Can you try downloading it again? maybe from a different machien? You can get the current installers from here https://community.compuwareapm.com/community/display/EVAL/Step+1+-+Download+and+install+dynaTrace
Please also check out our community portal where we have a dedicated discussion forum for dynatrace related questions: https://community.compuwareapm.com/community/display/DTFORUM/dynaTrace+Forums+Home

I'm trying for a couple of hours to find a MSI or EXE install package for Apache in Windows, and simply could not find it anywhere. All i get is a zip file with the directory structure, but when i extract it obviously the service is not installed / configured.
Can someone please point me to a place where i can find a MSI installer pro Win 2008 / 64bit ?
Thanks in advance.
This is why there are several packages including WAMP, XAMPP etc because it must be compiled and Apache will not provide binaries.
The Apache HTTP Server Project itself does not provide binary releases
of software, only source code.
A quick search would reveal some sources where you can download load them. I suggest to go with one of these to make maintaining it easier for yourself.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html#down
Here are some suggestions as noted in the docs.
ApacheHaus
Apache Lounge
BitNami WAMP Stack
WampServer
XAMPP
Edit:
I do not know specifically where you can get 2.4 msi and there may not be but 2.2 is still available if you have to have an installer. Which is still the most used version. Which is what I run on all my servers. Get 2.2.25
https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/
If you want 2.4 for windows which is NEWER that is the correct package from Apache Lounge you don't need an installer. The package give you the exact layout for the web sever. You're looking for a pretty little msi that goes through a wizard like WAMP, you're not going to find that. Installing from that zip you downloaded is easy and only takes like 5 minutes to setup. You can also put httpd.exe in the windows startup to so that it starts when it boots. Watch this video, it walks your through setting 2.4 up.

I would like to automate the process of setting up a new PC, this would include downloading and installing the latest windows and office updates; installing software from a network share (some software will require a restart so the script would need to be able to login and continue) adding PC to a domain and setting up local user accounts.
Is this possible and what would be the best scripting language to achieve this?
Check out nLite. Allows you to pre-configure many options, slipstream updates and service packs, etc.
The standard method in enterprise IT is the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). Even if another OS deployment technique (SCCM, BigFix, SpecOps...) is used, the Windows images are often developed in MDT.
There is no better guide to getting started than Johan Arwidmark's book series "Deployment Fundamentals". There is also material at Windows Noob.
You could integrate Chocolatey, BoxStarter or Ninite for app management after the OS is deployed.
