Install prerequisite from command prompt, not Powershell

[KraigK]

I'm trying to install a driver package in silent mode and per their documentation, this is the command needed:

"Zebra CoreScanner Driver (64bit)" -s -f1"zebradriversetup.iss"

When I run this from C:\Windows\systems32.cmd.exe it works just fine. When I tried to build an MSI with it in the prerequisite section, it does not work. I think I've finally figured out that it is launching PowerShell instead. Trying the above command in PS does not work manually.

So how do I fix this?

If I create a batch file with this line, this works when I just run the batch file manually.

Zebra_CoreScanner_Driver -s -f1"c:\kak\zebradriversetup.iss"

I'm not sure why this doesn't work in the PreReq section.

I just tried copying the exe and associated files to a known folder, then running a batch file and it does not work.

Command prompt opens, it appears to be installing but it doesn't.

Turns out the Driver package behavior is inconsistent with the silent switch. I ended up using the SDK package and it works is the PreReq section.

Maybe this will help someone in the future.
