Thank you very much for your reply. I tried your suggestion but setup.msi was not launched at all. Basically exe quitted after copy was done. FYI, I create exe in linux box and I am just wondering if that caused the issue. Thank you again for your input. YEIH

Hi, I have created an exe that contains msi and some configuration files using 7 zip. This works fine on most OS as far as I can tell but when we brought this to our customer site, it failed to launch our msi file. I ran procmon and noticed that msiexec was looking for msi file in C:\ instead of temp folder that 7 zip created to extract msi and configuration files. FYI, I tried to run 7 zip program to extract installer exe and I was able to extract them without any issue. I tried to figure out why this happened but I could not and the issue is that I cannot reproduce this strange behavior locally. Has anyone seen this behavior before? If you have any insight/suggestion, please let me know. Thanks. FYI, here is my 7 zip conf file. ;!@Install@!UTF-8! Title="XXProgram Setup Installation" BeginPrompt="Do you want to install XXProgram on your computer?" Directory="C:\\Windows\\System32\\" RunProgram="cmd.exe /c copy /v configuration.conf C:\\Windows\\temp\\ & msiexec.exe /i setup.msi" GUIMode="2" ;!@InstallEnd@! YEIH
