new to bif fix. Trying to deploy WordPerfect to our clients and successfully package the product. It copies the tmp file to the workstation but won’t launch the executable or the msi. When attempting to run the executable from the __Download location, it works.
I just recently was involved in this for WP x3 for another client. We ended up not using the setup.exe as our installer but the .MSI file instead. Look in the setup.ini for the commandline that it would have passed to the MSI and use that directly instead of the call to setup.exe.
That should get you started. The MSI commandline we used had some other public properties that were getting passed but I do not have them available. Take a look at the setup.ini file for more help on what those might need to be. Let us know if you need more help.
Thanks Brolly for the quick response. I will give it a try and post results.

Hello Zackidoo,

The tmp file will eventually get removed by the client. Different versions have slightly different behavior, but you shouldn’t need to worry about it, as long as you are referring to the .tmp file located in the __Download folder.
