Switches for .MSP Files

[too hip]

I am trying to figures out the silent switches for a .msp file which is an update pack for ACDSEE version 5.

I have tried many different ways and still can't get it to update silently.

/S (It runs something but the version is not updated)

/QB+ (installs it but when I check the version it's still the same)

I've also tried to slipstream it to the original .msi file but it says it can't find a certain file and stops.

msiexec /p (location of msp file) /a (location of msi file)

Thanks...

try repacking the file using a hex editer to extract the files into a dir, then use .msi to install it.

making a note of your changed reg files also helps.

First make an admin install by running

C:\WINDOWS\System32\msiexec.exe /I "C:\ACDSee v5.0 PowerPack\ACDSee 5.0 PowerPack.msi" (change DIR path as needed)

Then try to SS. Put path in quotes!! Take off read only attrib if it is on.

Make sure to full admin priv and also the right msp forv5. (either std or PP)

To do an administrative install, you usually need to do /a, not /i
