.MSI file hangs

I deployed a .MSI file via SCCM and it hangs and never finishes. It also won't write anything to the log file. I have this command line.

 

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe" /i /q "C:\MSIs\QuickTime.msi" /L*V+! "c:\build\AppleQT.log"

It hangs in TaskMan and never finishes and does not create the AppleQT.log file. Is there anything wrong with my syntax?

msiexec /i "C:\MSIs\QuickTime.msi" /q  /L*V+! "c:\build\AppleQT.log"

The problem is that you didn't have the path to the file directly after the /i. This will cause problems.


Comments:
  • Also, as far as I know you really don't know need the full path to the msiexec command. - Ben M 12 years ago
  • You do not need the full path to any executable that is findable via the search path of windows. - SMal.tmcc 12 years ago

That means, it's unable to start the installation process..

Execute the following command without /q and see what error you are getting.

msiexec /i "C:\MSIs\QuickTime.msi" /L*V+! "c:\build\AppleQT.log"

Also, check C:\build folder is existing or not

is the MSI service running properly?

Check and update your windows installer if required.

Do you have AppleApplicationSupport installed? I think it's a requirement for Quicktime and needs to be installed before you start the installation of Quicktime.

I might be wrong though, been a while since my last Quicktime package.
