Unable to push custom built MSI package through KACE (k1000)
Hi all,
As the title mentions I'm having trouble pushing a custom build msi package through KACE. The msi package installs perfectly fine when installing it locally, but when pushing it through KACE, I get the following popup and nothing gets installed:
This popup appears even when using msi commands such as /qn. KACE reports that the software has not been installed and shows a failed attempt. We are currently using K1000. I'm pretty new at this, but I used MS Visual Studio 2013 to build the package. I didn't set any custom property values, but set a default installation directory. What exactly am I doing wrong? Is this an issue with KACE or how I built the msi installer? I'll be glad to provide more information if needed. I appreciate the help!

If it's a managed install, show a screenshot of how you have the MI configured.
My suggestion would be to use the "Override Default Installation" option and give it the full command line, something like:
c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /i yourmsiname.msi /qn

This error is not related to the MSI itself but it most likely a syntax error in the command line you are using. As jknox has posted above, we need to see how you have the managed install configured.

Sorry for the late response! Here are the command lines I've tried to use:
msiexec /i Magtek Driver Install.msi
msiexec /i Magtek Driver Install.msi /qn /norestart
I tried using the Default Installation option with the same result.
I also tried the command line (c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /i Magtek Driver Install.msi /qn) from jknox with the same result.

You have spaces in your filename so you need to surround it with quotes. - chucksteel 8 years ago
