Unable to create installation point using an MSI file
Hi can someone help.
I am trying to create an installation point for workshare version 3 using an existing msi file.
If I use a "/a" switch i get an error box from windows installer v 2.00.2600.1106 "Incorrect command line parameters"
I also tried the following "msiexec /a .....workshare.msi" I get the first flash screen of the installation and when i press next I receive a message box "internal error 2343"
Can anyone offer some advice.
Thanks Gareth [:)]

The 'internal error 2343' means that a specified path is empty. When you specify the /a switch sometimes other properties are also needed. I wouldn't be suprised if you need to specify the TARGETDIR property on your command line.
Therefore your command line should be:
msiexec /a workshare.msi TARGETDIR=C:\WorkShare_AdminPoint
or whatever [:-]

You're pointing it at the existing msi, correct?
The proper format is:
msiexec /a <path_to_old_msi>\<oldmsiname>
If you're doing that, then the msi is probably a wrapper, not a true MSI. Sometimes vendors will wrap exe's in msi's to allow certain permissions when the software is run.

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
