#128216 - 2004-10-21 10:28 AM How to install an MSI file via logon script
phollan1 phollan1 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-18 Posts: 9 Loc: UK	I have created an MSI file for Java and am trying to get it to install via the logon script. I can run the command line install msiexec /i \\<server>\netlogon\java2.msi /quiet but cannot get it to work in the logon script have tried with run and with shell how should I be doing this

[found your posting problem, you had a Capital C in the closing CODE TAG, the new board wants it all lower-case] thanx Edited by Jochen (2004-10-21 10:46 AM)* _________________________

Getting the correct quotes set is often difficult for new users Not quite everything you wanted to know about RUN and SHELL http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB10&Number=81614 Also please review the information here for a silent install of Java http://java.com/en/download/help/silent_install.jsp [Jochen, what is up with the messed up format from your post? Did you use some Post Prep Tool ? ]

phollan1 phollan1 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-18 Posts: 9 Loc: UK	SHELL "msiexec /i \\<server>\netlogon\java2.msi /quiet" this is what I have in the script like I said if I type in msiexec /i \\<server>\netlogon\java2.msi /quiet in start run it works fine without seeing it install just not via login script

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11628 Loc: CA	Well I'd use SHELL %COMSPEC% /C and also place this after the SHELL line like Jochen asked, so that you can see what error is reported back. "Returned error is : " + @error + " [" + @serror + "]" ?

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11628 Loc: CA	My guess is because it can't write some file to the LOGON folder or similar issue, but here are some links to possible solutions or causes. Error 1603: Fatal Error During Installation http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111019 Technical Article #1004 http://www.netpro.com/products/changeauditor/ta/caadta1004.cfm List of error codes and error messages for Windows Installer processes http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=229683 When you attempt to install a Windows Installer package on Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you receive 'Error 1603: A fatal error occurred during installation'? http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBP/tip7700/rh7732.htm

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	for MSIs use /qn (quiet, no interface) or /qb-! (minimum interface, no cancel button... progress bar only) _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11628 Loc: CA	Question, why did you create your own MSI? Java allows you to install how you want with their own switches. I provided the link in one of the previous posts as well. http://java.com/en/download/help/silent_install.jsp Also, as pointed out by others, try to get it working directly on your hard drive or another test machine, THEN worry about getting it to work from another location on the Network.
