bpkrillen Posted April 11, 2014 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Hi All, We are currently running SCCM 2012 and i need to install some software that uses both a .msi and a .exe. I cant run the .msi straight up as it wont allow that to happens, requires the installation to be started from the .exe. I also believe it will reference a .cab file for some data so i would need to attach that also maybe. I have attached a screenshot of the files im trying to install. If anyone is able to give me a guide of how i would go about installing the software that would be appreciated. Regards, Dale.

Edenost Posted April 11, 2014 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Have you tried running the exe but using msiexec commands? Like: Setup.exe /quiet /norestart A few Microsoft exe files allow this, like the internet explorer 11 one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobE Posted April 11, 2014 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Hmmm what error does it get when you try? I'd be surprised if you couldn't run the MSI considering how small the exe is compared to the MSI file. Have you looked inside the exe to see what files are in there?

kevlar01 Posted April 11, 2014 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 Often MSI's have a check builtin that it requires to be run from an executable. Sometimes it is possible to override this property. Perhaps you can open the MSI with Orca and try to skim through the properties? Otherwise, try running setup.exe /? to find the appropriate switches. Alternatively, you could search ITNinja.com for documentation about this application. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
