The Quick and easy :-) "msiexec /I application.msi" will install it to the drive with most available space .. fetch orca and do a transform

[[ Note: verbose log "trimmed" down by removing much of the unecessary details posted -bkelly ]]

Idiot .. and of course you had to do a verbose

Thanks bkelly

i noticed though from your log that you had several errors, look them up in SDK and use Orca .. but as far as your installation issue goes, i think its already been answered.

Doesnt Lotus Notes come with Installshield ?? remember doing an earlier Lotus Notes with a response file, however look up your Windows Installer Error Messages

How did you create the administrative install, anything special?
msiexec / a ".msi"
How do you (try to) install the app locally, commandline, GPO, SMS or other?
Command line msiexec /i ".msi"
Do you use transforms?
Yes msiexec /i ".msi" transform=".mst"
Anything else like errors, eventlog entries?
Error 1308.Source file not found: \\WorkstationName\temp\admin\program files\Lotus\Notes\C000046W060502.sys.

Hi ,

Did u dod a silent install using /QB switch or if u have done an UI install, did the installation ask for the install location?

msiexec /i ".msi" transform=".mst"

msiexec /I "application.msi /TRANSFORMS=application.mst /qb(whatever) would be the right syntax
