We have a vendor who created a new version of an app that give us a message when we try to install with the.MSI file.

Here is the message: "this installation can not be run by directly launching the msi package"

I have figured out that they used Install Shield Developer 7 to create the package. I am new to Install Shield Developer 7 so not very familiar with it.

We like using the .MSI packages with Novell ZENWorks. Is there away to change the .MSI so as not to have to use the setup.exe????


MGH :D

If the setup was created with InstallShield Developer using the "Standard" project type it will require the setup.exe.
Setups created with the "Basic MSI" type can be executed by launching the .msi file directly.
