Software distribution question

Hi Iam trying to install webex productivity tools. I run this command at the cmd prompt and it works.

msiexec.exe /qn /i “ptools.msi” SITEURL=https://XMEN.webex.com OI=1 OC=1 OFFICE=1 IE=1 FIREFOX=1 RMENU=1

I went through the soft. dist. wizard and and created a task

extract ptoolsmsi.tmp

wait “{pathname of system folder & “\msiexec.exe”}” /i “{(pathname of client folder of current site) & “__Download\ptools.msi”}” /qn SITEURL=https://XMEN.webex.com OI=1 OC=1 OFFICE-1 IE=1 FIREFOX=1 RMENU=1

It says it completes but no tools are not installed. Any suggestions to try.

Another thing is if I install it with out the

wait “{pathname of system folder & “\msiexec.exe”}” /i “{(pathname of client folder of current site) & “__Download\ptools.msi”}” /qn

It installs but none of the plug -ins are installed in the APPS like office, etc

Thanks

Hi geeman,

Do you think it might be related to installing as the SYSTEM account? You might try running the install as SYSTEM outside of BigFix to verify that it works: http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?id=1098
