Hi, im trying to install an application with the extension .MSI and I keep getting this error.

To run a silent install you must either specify a response file or override this event (onmsisilentinstall()) and provide your own implementation.

What's it talking about lol :wacko: :wacko:

Another question is, I got an application OmniPage that came with my scanner. Trying to install it, but it's an installshield type setup.exe but it uses another OmniPageSE.msi along with it. So searched far and wide, and put this command in

setup.exe /s /v"/qb'


and as it progress, it says wrong serial. I know for sure it's not the serials that's wrong, as it came with the scanner I bought, and installs fine when I do it manually.

plz help.
thnx :hello:

Seen that before. Its an Installshield based MSI package. You will probably need Adminstudio to remove the bootstrap from the installshield exe package and repackage the product as a standalone MSI.
