Hi anyone,

i have a problem installing software if the MSI package is embedded in the bootstrapping setup.exe.

I packaged them via the msistuff.exe and the commandline switch /b

everything works fine but when i try to install the application i get an error message telling me that the MSI package can not be found . anyone any ideas?


regards

Hi h3ll,

As the error message indicated, the bootstrapper cannot find the msi package. I think you forget to copy all the msi packages or specify a different path for the msi package by the –d command Line Option. You can use the filemon to get where the bootstrapper fail to get the msi package.

For more information about filemon, please check:

Let me know if this helps, if not, could you please provide more detailed information?

Best regards.
