MSI Install to all users

Asked by TimMcGrath in Installation, Windows XP Operating System, MSI

Tags: msi, all, install, users

Hey there all,

I am trying to deploy a software package (msi file created with WinInstall) to about 400 desktops. So far with our test, I can get the package to install and everything works fine for the user who logs in. Is there a way to install the package for all users who log on to the machine

I tiried installing to all users programs msiexec /i [path] INSTALLDIR=[path]  but that didn't work.
We are using a program called Patchlink to deploy the installs. Patchlink pushes out a .bat file that runs the msiexec command
Our users are not admins of the machine and cannot install software on their own......any help would be appreicated
