The following table documents this message:

Error -9006: Error Decompressing Package

Category

Description

Type:

Error

Message:

An error occurred while decompressing the package 'PackageName'.

Cause:

You encounter this error when the package is a compressed Windows Installer package (.msi) and errors were generated when AdminStudio attempted to perform an administrative installation to extract the files.

Resolution:

When this error occurred, you should have also received a return error code from Windows Installer. Look up that error code in the Windows Installer Help Library to determine the cause of the problem.

If you did not receive a return error code from Windows Installer, this error could have been caused by the package not being authored properly. In the Windows Installer package, check to see if the AdminExecuteSequence table was defined. If that table is missing, the package cannot be decompressed.
