MSi and Return-Code

Post by mikKummerfeld »

Hey Support,

one question from a big customer:

The MSI is running in the background, but it does only start the included exe file. therefore I get a return code 0 really quick and my software distribution thinks everything is fine (but the setup is still running).

How can we solve that ?
Kind regards

Okay this is bad as IA wants to be the best install tool :)

Our customer says IA MSI is just a Fake and unusable for distribution.

Please provide a fix or workaround using MSI (not EXE)
Kind regards
