I'm sure this is a stupid question but...
We're trying to have kixtart run a silent install with the command:
run "msiexec /i/s "//server/directory/file name.msi""

I cannot get msiexec to recognize the path and file name. I think it has to do with quotes inside of quotes. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

There are several FAQs on that.

run 'msiexec /i/s "//server/directory/file name.msi"'

And i don't think /s is a valid switch


Code:

'msiexec /i "//server/directory/file name.msi" /qn'

That is correct about the /s according to Microsoft's page on this - Command-Line Switches for the Microsoft Windows Installer Tool
