Problem with msiexec thru command line
Hi,
I have a .msi file and I need to install it thru command line using a batch file. The problem is that I do not know what all parameters does this particular .msi file take. I tried using the associated 'setup.exe \r' command, but I didnt see an 'Setup.iss' file getting generated in my Windows folder(which is what some of the technical sites have mentioned).
Though a 'my.ini' did get created in 'Windows' folder but this ini file does not contain any of the parameters which I entered thru dialog box while manually installing the .msi.

Depending on your packaing tool your using some of them a tool for generating a transform, Wise as its InstallTailor.
If you don't have that; use setup.exe to install the application. Then look in the log file and search for "Command Line:".
You could also use DebugView to Monitor MSI installation actions in real time.
