Add Installations and Run Programs using OCT

[Napolitano, Paul]

Hi,
I am having problems adding additonal programs to run using the OCT
configuration tool.

I have added the following additonal programs to run. I do have the correct
paths in there to these files

SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe /quiet
Excel2007GetStartedTabSetup.msi /qb
Word2007GetStartedTabSetup.msi /qb

The First EXE file runs fine but I can't seem to get MSI's to run from here

My logs show:
Executing command path: '\\lsa-dev\win-packages\Office
2007\Add-Ins\SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe', args: '/quiet'
Executing command path: '\\lsa-dev\win-packages\Office
2007\Add-Ins\Excel2007GetStartedTabSetup.msi', args: '/qb'
Error: Failed to start process for file: \\lsa-dev\win-packages\Office
2007\Add-Ins\Excel2007GetStartedTabSetup.msi arguments: /qb ErrorCode:
193(0xc1).
Not showing completion dialog because it was not requested.

Any Ideas?

Hi Paul,

It appears that in the case of adding some .msi files that you'll need to specifically call the MS Installer as part of the command
line. For example, your current line of

Word2007GetStartedTabSetup.msi /qb
may work if you change it to read
MSIexec.exe Word2007GetStartedTabSetup.msi /qb

FWIW, both of those MS add-ins replicate links from the App help files. Be sure you give the folks a choice to disable them at some
point. They tend to slow down the loading of the app.
