[RESOLVED] tis-chrome and other Google products

[Fabien.P]

WAPT 1.9 Enterprise
Server: Debian
Console: Win10

I have a problem with the tis-chrome package which prevents the installation of other Google products.
For example, I can no longer install Google Workspace Sync https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gssmo/

I received the following error message:
- Corrupted MSI file, even though it works correctly on PCs that are not equipped with WAPT.

According to a Discord user who encountered the error on Google Chrome

Hello, just so you know, the tis-chrome package binary seems to be corrupted. I re-downloaded it from the official website and I'm getting the same error. Have you noticed this on your end as well?
And I get the following error when I double-click on the binary: "
There is a problem with this Windows installer package.

" Hello! Just so you know, and despite the chaos of the last few days, I finally found the real solution to my Google Chrome problem. I'm sharing it in case it can help others: Until now, I was using the wapt-google-chrome package from the lesfourmis repository, which uses the chrome-installer.exe binary. I also use the Google Chrome ADMX files, and I had disabled automatic Chrome updates via GPO since I was managing them with wapt. Switching to the wapt-chrome package from the tranquilit repository, which uses the googlechromestandaloneenterprise64.msi binary, created a problem I had never encountered before. I had to enable automatic Chrome updates in my GPO so that the Tranquilit repository package could install "over" (like an update) the Lesfourmis repository package. Surprisingly, even after uninstalling the old package and cleaning the registry, I was unable to reinstall the new package.

Message from Simon

My package worked differently from tis's; the Chrome installer is actually an MSI file that installs an EXE... an EXE equivalent to Chromium, in fact. So, during my update_package, I installed the MSI file and then retrieved the chrome_installer.exe file located in: programfiles32\Google\Update\Download\\chrome_installer.exe. This way, the PCs installed a minimal version of Chrome without the Google Update system and other junk. Your problem is interesting, in any case.

So I don't really know where to start because I'm in the situation where I'm trying to install another Google product in addition to Chrome.

Hello,

You should try commenting out the section on disabling Google Chrome services in the tis-chrome package code, uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome, and then attempting to install the Google product.
