Hi,

i’m trying to deploy new software through tem lifecycle software distribution…

quit simple.

Setup file:

Setup.exe

silent install option “/S”

If I run setup file manual - it works fine, and if I run setup file with “/S” everything works fine…

If a create a software package with setup.exe and deploy it to a user, the installation starts and the setup GUI i shown to the user…

If I create a software package with “setup.exe /S” and deploy it to a user, the installation make a quick black “splash” screen and sets the status to fixed and completed… but the software isn’t installed…

How the Fu** to debug further?

/regards

Henrik

I usually have better luck installing from a .msi file, and if that fails, invoke the logging switch.

See my example below (for adobe acrobat 10 standard):

msiexec.exe /i 
"AcroStan.msi" /qn /le c:\acrobat_install.log TRANSFORMS=
"AcroStanAaronsCustomizations.mst"

You will have a log file on the PC (C:\acrobat_install.log) see to what went wrong. I typically use 7-zip (free!) to extract .msi files from .exe files.
