VBS does't run when deploy

Hi,

When you run the .vbs manually it execute but when you deploy the msi which call the vbs it doesn't run.

Has anyone had this problem? The vbs contain multiple msi which run one after the other when execute.

Thanks!

You can only run one MSI at a time. Thus, your VBS's container MSI will not allow subsequent MSIs to run concurrently. If you enabled Windows Installer logging, you'd see a message to that effect in the log.

How are you deploying MSIs? Just about every system I can think of can cope with deploying MSIs in a sequence.

It's not going to work then, as you can only have one msiexec running unless you use chained install

It's not recommended though

you can install a bunch of msi's via a vbscript (one install at a time) and create a log file to see success or failure

remember your msi engine will not recgonize the wscript object in your vbscript
