Does not work from command line. I tried running from mapped drive and UNC path.

I am thinking this is related to client.bat.

client.msi will run if I execute it. client.bat brings up windows showing switch usage.

I am going to mess with the client.bat file and try using msiexec and passing the msi and switches.
