How to install a .msi file?

Good morning!

I'm very familar with InstallShield 6 and have been charged with migrating several scripts to IA2010.

The old scripts installs the Crystal .NET Server redistributable (.msi), but I have been unsuccessful with IA2010. IA seems to just skip over the command. Note - I have found success with running actual executables (.exe) such as Microsoft's Report Viewer.

Any help available?

Have you tried running "msiexec.exe" and building a command line that points to your .msi?

C:\windows\system32\msiexec /i ""

It will install your MSI installer successfully.

Thanks,
