error 2753 in package
Hi everybody,
I have to distribute a special program. The installer consists of 1 big exe. Repackager gives an error, because there is an msi inside. I have distilled the msi (universal extractor), created an mst with install tailor, but now I have the error "error 2753, the file xxx.exe is not marked for installation.
I also installed orca, and did a search on this file. I found it several times, one time in the custom action table, action = runconfig, type = 220, Target = empty. Should this have a value, if yes, what should it be? If no, any idea how I can solve this error?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi again,
In the mean time I figured out that the error is related to the /jm switch I was using. I tried to install the program with the following command: "msiexec /jm gramssuite.msi /T gramssuite.mst".
Now I have removed the /T and the gramssuite.mst file, and the error message is still the same.
Then I tried "msiexec /i gramssuite.msi /T gramssuite.mst", the error message is gone, but no customized settings, and off-course, no silent installation
How can I install the msi with the customized settings in silent mode?

The /'T' switch is only used when advertising a package. For installation, use the TRANSFORMS property.

Thanks.
With the TRANSFORMS property it is installing, but no customized settings. It looks like the mst file is ignored.
Then I added also the /quiet switch, and now it is working.
Don't understand why it is not working without the /quiet.

You can check whether or not a transform is being applied by logging your install. The resulting log will contain many entries which detail the table(s) being transformed.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
