MSI return code

Post by FabSter »

Hello,

I am trying to use an automatic deployment tool SMS, this tool is calling the MSI that I have created with Installaware X2. For testing I am trying to just run this installation from a DOS command line for testing I am noticing that the MSI finishes and returns a zero just after it starts instead of waiting until the MSI is completed. Is there anyway I can have the MSI compete before allowing the DOS prompt to continue. The installation does finish successful after a few minutes but I am unable to see the return value from the dos prompt because the dos prompt already finish long before the MSI did.
