msi file disappears after silent install complete

Post by abdou24 »

Hi there,

i try to install my installer via silent install (by using /s parameter). But after the installation complete, i try to launch the installer manually (double click on the installer) and the installer doesn't find it own msi file.
I double check the MEDIAPACKAGEPATH or the ROOTDIR where the installer datas are stored. By launching the installer, it creates another miaXX.tmp (where XX is a random number generated by the setup) folder and asks for the msi file.

Any idea?

We need a lot more information on how to re-create this issue than the limited amount you have provided. The behavior you have described is typical of all InstallAware setups but none of them actually fail when installed silently or otherwise ask for an MSI file, so you need to fill in the gaps I'm afraid :)
