Windows installer error when deploying msi package with sms
Help,
I am trying to rollout a software package using sms.
I need to do an unattended installation and I want to have the progress bar displayed to the users so they can see that the install is progressing and won't carry on with their work during the install.
I can run the install manually from the command line and get this functionallity using the following command.
viewmail.msi /passive
When I run this command via sms, I get a Windows Installer error stating invalid parameter.
I can run the following command via sms as a test and it works fine.
viewmail.msi
It looks like the /passive switch is not working through sms...and that is what makes the install unattended with the progress bar.
Any ideas why this switch isn't working with sms...or if there is something else I can do to get around this problem.
Thanks for your help.
