command line msi install problem

I have a problem trying to the the quiet modes to work with the reinstall variables. When my command line looks like this, it will run through the entire process, but it will not physically install the app.

Msiexec.exe /i "c:\temp\package.msi" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qb! /L*v "c:\temp\packagelog.log"


If I remove REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE, to have it look like this, the package actually installs the app. Msiexec.exe /i "c:\temp\package.msi" /qb! /L*v "c:\temp\packagelog.log"

Any ideas?

Thanks

What does your log ("c:\temp\packagelog.log") show for the call w/ REINSTALLMODE & REINSTALL set? How about when you launch it with full UI instead of silently - are there any errors shown? Also, what process is calling msiexec?

Thanks for the response, but I figured out my problem. This was the first install of the package, and so the reinstall tags do not apply the very first time you install it.

Thanks.
