Installing Third-Party MSP

I'm attempting to install an MSP for a third-party product that I previously installed in my setup. I tried to use the (Un)Install MSI Setup command with /p switch for the action string to install the MSP, but I always receive an error.

Code: Select all

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


If I use the Run Program command with msiexec /p "<package>" /qb it seems to work okay. However, I'd like to update the progress of the installation rather than displaying a marquee. What am I doing wrong here?

Dear User,

unfortunately, (Un)Install MSI command can be used with a MSI or EXE file only.
