Hi,
I'm using professional project as a trial with a goal to create a silent installation.
Installation with UI works properly, but trying silent run in cmd running as Admin fails.
I've already tried to run the installation on Win-7 and on Win-10 with the same result (do I need a windows server?).
Selecting checkbox "Limit to basic user interface" on Installation Options created installation
running without UI properly when clicking it. However, it end with the same error when trying to
run it silently from command prompt.
The command line used is:
msiexec.exe /i ./myMSI.msi /qn /L*V ./logfile.txt
Looking at the log below, I was initially thinking that there are still installations pending or
unfinished installations, but after trying on more computers and getting the same as well as investigating this options,
it seems not to be the case.
The log is below.
Thanks in advance for any clues!
Kind regards,
Robert
