Hi
Version: Developer 8.0
Probject type: Basic
Currently, I have 3 MTS package will create and each package needs its own DOM MSI to insatll.

I have problem to install MSI synchronously...I try
VBSCript try1:
CODE

Dim WshShell
Dim Cmd1
Dim Cmd2
Dim Cmd3

Cmd1 = "msiexec.exe /i \\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CINET.MSI /q"
Cmd2 = "msiexec.exe /i \\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CITG.MSI /q"
Cmd3 = "msiexec.exe /i \\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CIVR.MSI /q"
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

Call WshShell.Run(Cmd1, ,true)
Call WshShell.Run(Cmd2, ,true)
Call WshShell.Run(Cmd3, ,true)

Set Cmd1 = Nothing
Set Cmd2 = Nothing
Set Cmd3 = Nothing
Set WshShell = Nothing

This approach wil work on my desktop but not with installshield probject. It desnt create error message but not install any MSI.

VBScript Try2:
CODE

Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.Run("msiexec.exe /i \\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CINET.MSI /q")
WshShell.Run("msiexec.exe /i \\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CITG.MSI /q")
WshShell.Run("msiexec.exe /i \\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CIVR.MSI /q")
set WshShell = Nothing

This approach will install one of MSI for me, but I need all MSI to insatll.

VBScript try3:
CODE

Dim msi
Set msi = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
msi.UILevel = 2
msi.InstallProduct "\\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CINET.MSI", ""
msi.InstallProduct "\\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CITG.MSI", ""
msi.InstallProduct "\\6578\Dump\NTBSPackageExport\CIVR.MSI", ""
Set msi = Nothing

This approach is working on my desktop but it gave me error in installshield.

I am running out of ideas. Please help me if u can
Thank You
MIB

You cannot run two or more installations at the same time - just think what happens when both installations detect they have to update the same file. Consider nested installations instead.

Your first and second attempts try to run synchronous installations, but also disable any output - try creating log files for more info (which will probably read that another installation is already running).

Your third example doesn't run synchronous installations, but consecutive installations. The true reason for failure is found in the error that was reported. Maybe the first or second installation needed a reboot.
