How do I successfully run executables after the .msi that refers to them deposits them on a client computer?

Asked by BostonDynamics in Microsoft Server, Windows 2003 Server

The attached code snippet constructs a windows .msi.  It successfully deposits all files beginning with swinst (three total) onto the local users c:/temp directory.  

My challenge is to then have the MSI execute the three files, and after installation is completed, to delete them from the local users drive.Start Free Trial
