MSI failing to install when launching MSI alone
I have a vendor MSI that is failing when launching to install the app. Previous MSI version installs without issue. When launching directly from the MSI, I am getting an error stating that it cannot find a file and shows the file path being the one from where I am initiating the MSI install. In other words, if I place the MSI on the desktop and install from there, an error message pops up stating:
“ Error 1309. Error reading from file: C:\Users\username\Desktop\WinRoot\Account Ability\...\setup.exe. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.”
It doesn’t matter where I place the MSI, it returns the error with the path from where the MSI was launched. I would like to know what is causing this and of course, how it can be fixed. I can only use an Installshield transform for making any behavior changes for the MSI and am not able to make any changes to the vendor MSI, can only be done through transform. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I tied pasting in the error log but does not show the "comment" button/tab to post it. Too many characters I'm guessing. - rcooder 7 years ago

For lengthy text posts on this forum, apply the 'CODE' style to the text.
In the meantime you can try to catch MSI installation command line when it is launched via vendor's setup.exe. It seems that MSI is looking for the main setup.exe file - I experienced similiar issue when I had to pass SETUPEXEDIR or SETUEXEPATH property.
Additionally you can compare MSI installation log files, especially the final part where all properties are listed.
To catch the command line you can use ProcMon.
There is still some possibility that setup.exe extracts some additional files that are not part of the MSI so then you would need to capture them and include with MST.
