process, including Acrobat Pro 9, CS5 itself, and all the applications in the
"client-side And Ui Is None Or Basic: Running Entire Install On The Server"
Exceptions folder (created by the Adobe Application Manager). We created a batch file to run the installs and that's what runs in the K2000. The process runs fine when executed outside the K2000, but when we run itfrom the K2000we get "Failed to grab execution mutex. System error 258" for many of the MSIs https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/c2c76772-3e19-424b-8de7-d6cb9eee9f4a/msi-failing-in-run-command-line-step-using-alternate-credentials?forum=configmgrgeneral in the task. It is my understanding that this error means than an MSI fails because there is already another MSI in progress. The installation that runs so long is the Acrobat 9 install,so we removed that from the batch file and added it to the K2000 post installation task list as a separate task. We still get the same problem. It's almost like the K2000 can't http://www.itninja.com/question/failed-to-grab-execution-mutex-system-error-258-1 recognizethat another MSI is in progress and therefore allows another one to start. 0 Comments [ + ] Show Comments Comments Please log in to comment Community Chosen Answer 3 Have you tried "START /WAIT"? Answered 05/24/2012 by: dugullett Please log in to comment cserrins 4 years ago last edited 1 year ago On 3.5 and earlier: start /wait is relevant on .exe files. on msi's it would be msiexec /qn /i file.msi for .bat files it could be call file.bat 3.6 and higher you list the name of the .exe and the name of the .bat. For msi's it is the same. ak5818 3 months ago last edited 3 months ago I'm seeing the same symptoms randomly on my image tasks. I can see these errors in msi logs. Some of my installers are .exe based from Lenovo. i'm not sure the task engine consistently treats .exe the same way. For instance I start winvnc and thankfully the task engine doesn't wait for that to stop before continuing with the queue, however, I do need it to wait for my .exe based installers is there a way to force the behavior?

System error 258 I'm getting this error failed to when executing a chained MSI within a basic MSI project. At the moment, I only have 1 chained MSI but will need to include about a dozen of them. I see in the log that for some reason, the chained msi executes successfully but on return I get this error which causes the chained package to rollback. Any suggestions? I'm stumped. I'm using as a prerequisit windows installer 4.5 which should allow chaining. I'm testing on a windows 7 machine which has installer version failed to grab 5 so not sure why this is happening. I've been wasting a ton of time trying to resolve this problem without a solution Reply With Quote 08-08-2012,10:01 AM #2 trevorp View Profile View Forum Posts User (5+ Posts) Join Date Jul 2012 Posts 6

Thanks c# windows-installer share|improve this question asked Mar 27 '12 at 16:37 richard druce 3,55174291 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted It means that you are trying to install or uninstall another MSI while installing your package. If you need to install other packages, you can add them as prerequisites. This is done differently for each setup authoring tool. You cannot use custom actions for this, at least not in InstallExecuteSequence. _MSIExecute Mutex Summary: One Execute sequence per machine and one UI sequence per process. share|improve this answer edited Mar 27 '12 at 23:57 Christopher Painter 42.2k63163 answered Mar 27 '12 at 17:48 mrnx 17.8k52642 Thanks for your answer. I'm only installing one package (with uninstall previous version set to true) for an integration test. The sequence is uninstall all versions, install old version, install new version over the top.The second install fails, is there any chance it could be hanging onto the mutex? –richard druce Mar 28 '12 at 10:09 Look in the log to see what triggers the error. What happens right before the error is shown? –mrnx Mar 28 '12 at 10:15 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.
