I am trying to convert the Microsoft Firewall Client MSI package to an exe file. I can't get the MSI file to execute with scriptit because I am getting an error message which says invalid command line paramaters. I am running Win2000. I was wondering if there is any way to convert the Firewall Client MSI package to an exe file. Thanks!

on the subject of converting an msi to an exe you can use the the WISE Package Studio to capture the installation and make an exe. this is called re-packaging and you have to be careful to remove any extraneous captured information from the install.
your problem might be related to the need for a bit of additional information when running the MSIExec from the script. when you doble click on a msi it using the information in the file association to supply these parameters.
does your script use the following type format (without quotes)?
msiexec /I"name of msi here"
it is the /I parameter that tells the MSI Service what to do. this is the minimal requirement...
