Software Deployment

you can install both of them with a single command
msiexec /i <MSI Path> /p <Path Path>
you can write a Batch script to execute the command which installs both MSI and MSP in a single shot

Well, let me be more precise...The application is Silverlight...

I packaged this thing before for deployment...But it's not to be deployed...I am supposed to package it so that a user downloads it and then installs it on his machine...

The BAT file will have me describe a path...And who knows where a user will DL it and install from where...Unless there is a command to install it from any location like %appfolder% or something like that...

Prepare a Wrapper EXE If you are using Wise Package Studio which will install MSI and MSP and you can supply the EXE to your Users who can download it and install

How would one go about accomplishing that Mekay...?

what tool are you using for repackaging Zakkk?

Wise Packaging Studio boss...

It's a small application but a bitch in the @ss, iykwim...

cool down., here you go......
create a WSE EXE which will hold MSI and MSP inside it and install it with the command I have provided above.
Final output will be a single EXE file

I would do what mekaywe told. As I have already done couple packages that way with no problems...

Mekaywe, as much I appreciate your responses, I would like to bring to your attention that not many of us have years of experience like yourself and are at most novices...So, many times I simply am lost when someone start using acronyms galore...

Now, for someone as wet behind the ears as me, am I to understand you mean WSE= Wise Script Editor? And if so, how would you go about creating an exe from WSE?

Remember, teach a man to fish...:)

copy the below code to a text file and rename the file to *.WSE.
Compile the code and run the EXE which should install your MSI and MSP together

Modify it according to your requirements.

Sorry for the late reply Mekaywe...And thanks so much for such a concise reply...Appreciate it...

Well, tried your script, but Wise told me it was corrupted...

But no biggie, I found our another way to make it happen...Thanks again...

I found our another way to make it happen"...which I won't share here, for the benefit of others."

lol...Your sarcasm is not lost VBScab...Will do...
