The vendor of a product we're checking out, has a GUI for building a .BAT file, that will start their MSI with all the required settings and parameters for a silent install ... thats all usefull and good but here's the thing...

At the beginning of their .BAT file, they coded this:

Code:

copy %windir%\system\msiexec.exe %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /y

%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe -i ".\DesktopInstallation.msi" ..blah,blah


Its the copy thing I am scratching my head over ... anyone have a clue what they are trying to accomplish here ?
