I am building a couple of VM images using Packer (by HashiCorp) which calls an unattended file for the Windows Server (2012 R2 and 2016) configuration. That all works fine. Once the VM has been built the final call is made (by Packer) to a bat file which gets the VMware tools ISO and executes the setup64.exe with the silent switches. However, that install fails. The problem seems to be with installing the visual C++ runtime libraries. I get the standard 'Setup cannot continue. The Microsoft Runtime DLL insaller failed to complete installation' message in the installer log preceded by:Found "C:\VMwareTemp\GUIDSetup\vcredist_x86.exe"Cannot get short temp path for VC redist installerThe server auto logs on as local admin and UAC has also been disabled as part of the unattended script (for the purposes of troubleshooting). I have tried to manually install both the 32-bit and 64-bit 2008 SP1 C++ runtime installers as part of the unattended file (which install OK) before the script to install the tools is called but to no avail.Interestingly, if I can the same setup64.exe command after the VM has shutdown and been sysprepped, the command runs in OK and the tools get installed. So, is the error above in relation to permissions, possibly? I would be interested to hear anyone's thought, epsecially if you have come across the issue before!I will post in the VMware forums too as this may be nothing to do with the Server's OS at all.Cheers all,Dave.

Turn off the VM, yes, turn off and wait for around 5 minutes, VM has to break all the open handles with parent host/vCenter. Turn on the VM and run VMWare Tools installer, this time the installation will complete without any error.
When the package "libvmtools0" is installed in SUSE Linux 12 and open-vm-tools is not installed, the VMware Tools installer fails. This is set to prevent an incomplete installation. Users have to uninstall both open-vm-tools and libvmtools0 to install VMware Tools.
I am using Windows 7 OS 64-bit and downloaded VMware server but when I try to install it shown the following error message when reach at 90%. The installation did not complete using Microsoft Runtime DLL installer. How can I overcome this problem? Have any idea? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It is possible to name directories using characters that are not part of the system locale's code page. If such a directory is part of the installation path, then generic error 1722 occurs, and installation is not completed. Error 1722 is a Windows installer error code. It indicates that the installation process has failed. The exact reason for this error is not known at this time.

The issue is that the .exe installer installed the 64bit app in 32bit locations in the registry on a 64bit system. As a result we can not differentiate between a pre-existing 32bit or 64bit install of Nextcloud on a 64bit system. We need to avoid inadvertently upgrading customers' product's architecture.To update from 3.1 to a newer version on a device in Intune, deploy the Intune App of Nextcloud to your devices.
