Endnoteweb
Hello
I have problems with remote installation of endnoteweb.(Other applications do install without any problems)
Im using InvokeMethod("Install", inParams, Nothing) to install applications, see a bit of code at bottom.
According to Program log on computer where installation is to be , it look like this:
"A Windows installer transaction started \\server\myfolder\endnote.msi ProcessId 2136(that is WmiPrvSE.exe)"
"Starting Session 0 DATE"
msiexec.exe CPU 98% and then nothing more happens.
msiexec.exe /i endnoteweb.msi /qn locally on machine works with no problem.
Greatful for any ideas.
You must be registered to download file from endnote så i put a copy here:
http://dc198.4shared.com/download/gRKPexWP/EndNoteWeb.MSI
Some code to use for deployment:
Dim p As New ManagementPath("Win32_Product")
Dim classInstance As New ManagementClass(scope, p, Nothing)
Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = classInstance.GetMethodParameters("Install")
inParams("AllUsers") = True
inParams("Options") = parameters
inParams("PackageLocation") = filename
Dim outParams As ManagementBaseObject = classInstance.InvokeMethod("Install", inParams, Nothing)
Dim retVal As String = outParams("ReturnValue").ToString()
This is my application if you want to try it:

Thanks for the respons.
I cant get any logging working when installing in that way. /l* filename for example will give "Invalid command line....."
Perhaps you know how?

you could try enabling system wide MSI logging on a machine by setting the following registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Logging = voicewarmup
This should create logs by default in the %TEMP% directory of the user installing the msi.

Thank you very much for pointing to that logging option! I had no idea about it.
By the way:
Reading the log file shows that "APPSEARCH" was never finished and therefor the installation never continuied.
So i tried to pass APPSEARCH=False and APPSEARCH=0 to installation but still install is not done.
Then i removed table APPSEARCH from endnote.msi and Viola! The installtion completes.
Thanks for the help.
EDIT:
Removed all instances of Appsearch in msi file, then it worked.
