Thank you SMall.tmcc! So if I enter just msiexec command line for x64 machine it is correct? - moba-junior 8 years ago

if you use the commands like you listed in your question by default it will use the 32bit msiexec in syswow64 you want to use c:\windows\system32\msiexec /i app.msi /qn - SMal.tmcc 8 years ago

the kace client is 32bit so it will default to the 32bit msiexec in syswow64. use the full path to call your exe;s with and you will have less problems. that will work on both 32 and 64 bit machines - SMal.tmcc 8 years ago

As mentioned by SMal.tmcc, there is no difference between
msiexec /i "spss22.msi" /qn and msiexec.exe /i "spss22.msi" /qn
(But, Definitely there is a difference between spss.22 and spss22.msi.. I understand that it is a typo :))
