Msiexec ; incorrect command line parameters

Hey..

I've been trying to use the command Msiexec to apply a .mst I made to a .msi.
However, no matter what I do, it keeps giving me a dialogue box saying "incorrect command line parameters".. I've even tried exactly the examples given on the microsoft site , but still the same message...

I'll give an example; I've got the Acrobat.msi in the directory c:\msi\acrobat.msi.
when I issue this command;
msiexec c:\msi\acrobat.msi
it gives me this error. I've tried all kinds of variations and all kinds of parameters but even without any parameters it gives me that message..

I hope someone can help me with this because I have no idea whats causing this.

I've tried on both a physical and a VM machine, both running Windows XP

The correct commandline would be

msiexec /i "C:\mymsi.msi" TRANSFORMS="mytransform.mst"
