Toolkit Not Embedding Install Files #311

Open fbane opened 6 years ago

fbane commented 6 years ago

I recently discovered this tool as I work from an Office with extremely slow internet so downloading and creating a MSI install file to distribute office products in my environment is a great tool.

Unfortunately when I am using the tool and I try to create an .msi file and embed the office files... I always end up with either a 2mb or 4mb install file.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I hope this is a tool that is continuing development.

EDIT So after doing A LOT of reading through the issues section it became known that it is by design that it does this, but what is NOT said is that when it embeds the files it actually doesn't and you will end up with two files.

File 1 = .MSI or .EXE File 2 = Folder called "Office"

I assume the .MSI or .EXE is linked to install from this folder and will be testing shortly.

the Tooklike USED to embed everything into a single file. single MSI is what I've told our customers to use, and it appears that now it is not working as originally designed

I'm experiencing the same issue, the result of using the option to embed the files is not working anymore

I created an MSI with my the files embedded with no issues, took a long time but it worked. Only issue was I had more software than I needed and also wanted to change the auto activate to no. Now I cannot get it work no matter what I try, every time it fails with a time out or capture56

I have deleted the program, deleted my download files and restarted, still no go

This is the other error I get capture57

I can create an msi if I don't embed anything but the product will not activate no matter what I try, it shows my account but once I logged out it will never let me log back in
