asked on
batch file which has msi not working
Hi guys,
I got a batch file which has
Msiexec \i \\servername\foldername\fi
Am trying to install antivirus msi file through group policy to all computers. Before that just checking my batch file is working or not.
I tried from one computer. I can access the server share. So no issues with permissions. But when ever I run that batch file by double clicking or run as administrator it comes with a “windows installer” box giving options what commands to use. But not installing
Could you guys, see whether my batch file is correct or not ?? and the pidkey I used at end is the installer key for antivirus so doesn’t need to put in manually

You're using \"i" instead of "/i".
In a batch, run msi like that:

Hi,
I tried both of yours command. When I double click it just opens cmd(showing the command) and closing within few seconds. But not installing anything

Don't double-click it for testing. Open an elevated command prompt, run the batch from there, then it'll stay open and you can see what's happening.
Especially since double-clicking means it's not running elevated, unless you're logged on with the default local administrator or UAC is disabled.

Ya i Ran as administrator as well. Still it's not doing anything
Then you need to log the install and check the log file afterwards:
start "" /wait msiexec /i \\servername\foldername\filename.msi PIDKEY=xxxx LAUNCHAPP=1 /quiet /norestart /liewa "C:\Temp\msi.log"
