Help With RunAs and MSIEXEC

[LurchMan]

Hey Everyone -

I'm trying to make a simple script that is going to silently install a program using admin rights but I can't seem to get it to work right.

I've tried:

RunAs ("administrator", @ComputerName, "password", 0, "msiexec /i ffx30client-2.0.5.msi /quiet")

Run ("msiexec /a ffx30client-2.0.5.msi /quiet")

And the only thing that works is this, but it wont run with admin rights:

Run ("msiexec /i ffx30client-2.0.5.msi /quiet")

If anyone has any ideas on how I could get this to work I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Try suppling a path to ffx30client-2.0.5.msi.

RunAs ("administrator", @ComputerName, "password", 0, 'msiexec /i "path\to\ffx30client-2.0.5.msi" /quiet', @TempDir)

and a working directory may help.

Thank you for the reply, but that didn't fix it. I decided to take out the quiet switch to see what happens and I get this error message...I'm starting to think its wonderful Windows unless you have any other ideas

Edit: Never mind, it generally helps if you use quotes when specifying a path like that huh?

Well, yes, it does.

My example shows the use of quoting. So, I guess it is working now?

Yes it does, Thank you for your time and help.
