Windows 7 Pro
VSTO Outlook 2010 32 bit
My client needs a headless install (to allow IT admins install on other machines).....when I try to launch the installer from the SYSTEM user shell, i get the error:
Attached is my setup.aip fileThis installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
I was able to get the headless installer to work if I:
* removed the moved prerequisites packages from pre-install to feature based and
* created only a 32 bit installer (it's currently mixed 32/64) and
* change to an MSI installer (previously .exe)
I'm pretty sure the boostrapper files are decompressing the MSI to the wrong c:\windows\SYSTEM32\config\systemprofile\appdata directory ---- CAN I CONTROL WHERE THOSE FILES GET DECOMPRESSED? If so, how can I do that?
thanks!

p.s....here's the steps how I'm testing it:
• Download pstools from MSFT
o http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 96649.aspx
o All you have to do is unzip it
• Open a admin cmd shell (right click on cmd and choose runas)
• CD to wherever you unzipped pstool
• Run "psexec.exe –s –i cmd"
o This will launch a cmd shell as the SYSTEM user
• In this new command shell, CD to wherever you have the RT OP installer
• Launch the installer from SYSTEM user shell
