Install/Remove MSI Package Command

I am trying to use the Install/Remove MSI Package command with an IA generated setup:

Code: Select all

Install/Remove MSI Package $SUPPORTDIR$\\CamComponents-Setup.exe[ADDLOCAL=ALL] (get result into variable SUCCESS2)

(the "Package is IA generated installation" option is checked)

However when I run the setup I get this error:

"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"

How can I fix this?
Thanks

Ah, if you are trying to install an InstallAware setup, the recommended method is by running the InstallAware exe file. You may run it silently using the /s command line option, and also specify other options.

OK.

Could you possibly add this for a future version? It would be nice if I could display the progress on the same form (otherwise the setup appears to hang).

Thanks!

Sure.
