Has anyone been running into a problem where Windows Installer indicates invalid command line parameters when running Windows Installer 3.1 (I think that's the version.)?

I'm trying to call a child install from [SOURCEDIR] like I have in the past -- msiexec stored in a property. That type Custom Action has a target of /i [SOURCEDIR]Child.msi.

I know you can fire child installs as such with Developer 8, but I've done it in the past by calling .exe stored in Property table and just continue to do it that way. I may try the newer method, but I was just wondering if anyone was running into a similar problem.

Any comments welcome!

Try this:
msiexec.exe /i "[SOURCEDIR]Child.msi"

I'll give that a shot!

As always, THANKS!!

If that doesn't work, try

Msiexec.exe /i "[SourceDir]Child.msi"
