Software Deployment

(sigh...) Have you run the both install types with a verbose log? It seems clear that there's a Custom Action in the UI sequence which isn't being run in the EI/Ed sequence. A log comparison will show you.

Hi Karshi,

Further to what VBSCab said ,the Roxio Mind Manager is installed by the custom action named RIM_Install_SR_Media_Manager.
This custom action is only present in UI sequence so is not being installed when you run it silently.You have two options either to make a nested msi or make 2 separate packages i.e for Mind Manager and Blackberry.

thanyou all for ur replies.
I had already checkd in verbose log and had given a EI sequence to that particular custom action. But still the Mind Manager was not getting installed.
I gave the Execute sequence little after the UI sequence. Plz tell me if i went wrong smwhere.
n m Sorry as i din't post the tried things in my earlier post.
N regarding creation of two seperate packages,it would require a prerequisite of "isscript.msi" and also the roxio media manager.msi requires setup.exe to run.
i added issetupdriven property but found no change in the behavior.
So. plz suggest.

Hi karshi,

If I recall correct you also would need to prevent the OnCheckSilentInstall custom action from being executed while running in silent mode.
