Hi,

I am using a batch file to install a msi package in windows vista. I have used both the below

commands.

msiexec.exe -i "ObjectiveNavigator7.4.4.msi" /q /norestart

msiexec.exe /i "ObjectiveNavigator7.4.4.msi" /q /norestart

Nothing get installed, but if i install manually, the installation was successfull.

I think its due to UAC. How to overcome this issue. 'Run As Administrator' also does not work.

Thanks,

Specifically what do you think the UAC is interfering with?

Solution 1

TRY THIS MSIEXEC /QN /I "<PATH><SOURCE>.msi" REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

You can also run msiexec ObjectiveNavigator7.4.4.msi /? for supported commands, but the creator of the .msi had to add support for it.
