I changed the setting from the earlier post and then made your changes. I then run the .msi file but it is no longer silent. Sorry but I am a rookie as far as editing an msi file. Thanks for any help, Bruce Guys I have played around with this msi and got it to install completely silently. I edited the msi's properties table to include the parameters : "USERPASSWORD=pcpassword USERVERIFYPWD=pcpassword USEREMAIL=email@email.com USERWEBPASSWORD=password LicenseType=free ", instead of passing them via the coomand line as others have done before.....Just neater this way and less room for error. Trep - I got the same error as you, and edited the msi with ORCA and dropped the DEPLOYID row in the PROPERTIES section of the *.msi. That seems to get around the error you mention Also, in relation to this issue I found using the /qb- switch instead of the /qn, it ignores the ..."profile does not exist" error and the msi installs successfully Cheers
