trouble installing crystal reports 2008
I am trying to setup a distribution to install crystal reports on user PCs and Laptops. I have it setup to download the zip file with the required application files and it appears that it downloads and unzips the files, but for some reason it is not installing. My command line is as follows.
setup.exe -r crystal.ini
I am thinking that it is having issues finding the file, but not sure as to why. Do I need to include the a folder name in the command line path (folder\setup.exe -r crystal.ini)? I've included my debug log entry that shows the error.

ERROR: Must use 'full command' if MI is a zip file
Do you have the radio button set to use default or configure manually for the installation command?

Ok.. I've included a screen print of how I have this setup and my error log. Now when I attempt to do the MI it tries to launch an installation for client access. My debug log is as follows.

While I can't speak to your specific product, "-r" generally is used to create a response file, while the corresponding "-s "responsefile" " is for the silent install. Not sure if that's the case here or not.

Thanks for the response. I am able to install crystal using the command line options I've listed manually outside of the kbox, but it does not seem to work from the kbox. I may just work around this by doing a scripted installation. I've opened a ticket with support and hopefully they will be able to provide me with the guidance I need.

I noticed you have run command only checked.
This means that the KBOX will not copy the files down to the machine.
Try unchecking that and trying again.
