Software Deployment

Hi anks_09,

Can you elucidate further? I am not sure what are you trying to do with your package. What setup.exe are trying to call? Is it the driver that you want to install silently? You may want to delay that service from running and see what you can get. Check this error here if it can help you http://itninja.com/question/help-with-msi-1360 or try google and try different settings on your CC.

Hi dj_xest,

Actually i am wrapping setup.exe of IPass3.60 inside an blank MSI project using custom action.This setup.exe installs few files and drivers through setup.exe and the shared resources get installed through a separete msi name iPassConnect.msi which is been trigger by setup itself.So when i called this setup.exe through custom action type 2, setup.exe begins its installation but at one point it fails which i have mention in my earlier post.While installation of driver begin services get activated which works fine if i just start the instalaltion by passing the parametre to the setup.exe thorugh commandprompt but if the same is done via wrapped msi it gives error.I hope this explanation can make you understand what is the problem....

regards,

Hello,

Try moving your CA somewhere between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize or better after InstallFinalize and see. Try also experimenting with the processing options: Synch, Asynch...

Hope this help.

This setup.exe installs few files and drivers through setup.exe and the shared resources get installed through a separate msi name iPassConnect.msiI think this is likely to be your problem. You cannot execute an MSI while another MSI is running.
