Deploying an MSI in NS

Deploying an MSI in NS
Submitted by Stkelly on 2 June, 2008 - 12:58.

I am having problems creating a software package to deliver to some of my servers. I have a vendor MSI that I want to deploy. I have created a transform. I would like to just deploy it using a VB script that I created. Nothing I do will get it to work.

Any thoughts I do not see an easy way to create a package to deploy an MSI they all want an EXE?

Thanks

Fully path wscript.exe

Shaun,
Because of the way NS tries to execute the vbscript, sometimes it isn't aware of the file asssociation of .vbs extension. So in your SWD program command line, fully path the location of Wscript or cscript on your target server/computer, then put your vb script name. Also make sure there are no spaces in your .vbs script name or use " " around it if there are.

Ex. C:\windows\system32\wscript.exe anything.vbs
