Installing vcredist_x86.exe silently
My development team has recently updated our vcredist_x86.exe to a newer version (2.0.50727.4053), and the command I was using no longer works.
My old command was:
"$USER_INSTALL_DIR$$\$..$\$vcredist_x86.exe" /q:a /c:"VCREDI~3.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i vcredist.msi /l*v %temp%\vcredist_x86.log /qn"" "
This does not work from the cmd line either.
From the cmdline, I can get vcredist_x86.exe to work with the following:
Vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:"msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn /l*v %temp%\vcredist_x86.log"
But when I put this into my Execute Batch/Script.. I get a log.. but the install fails.
Can anyone help me with the syntax?
Thank you.

This seems to be a MSI query. Could you please post the query in the MSI Forum?
Thanks,

Indraneel, I'm sorry but this is a perfectly legitimate query: this user simply wants to run an external .exe file (which inside contains a .msi and .cab) from within IA, and he would like to have this done in a silent mode. It used to work for older versions of the same file, but currently it no longer works...

Thank you Vlad.
Exactly, I am looking for Batch/Script syntax help on how to invoke this .exe from IA 2009 SP1.
