Hi,
I was also fighting with Maya for a long time. Maya runs a Setup.exe
which forks another setup.exe which fork the msiexecs. finally I ended
up writing a .vbs script to watch the second setup.exe which seems to
block at least for maya. Tomorrow when I am back in the office I can
send it to the list.
Cheers
Sebastian
P.S. Autodesk product installers are hell.

Hi all,
Long-time listener, first-time caller.
I've got a fairly large suite installer for the Autodesk Ed Suite 2012 (maya,
softimage, 3ds max, etc, etc). They have very good documentation on making silent
installers for the suite, and it installs just fine. Basically you run their setup.exe
and pass it an .ini for the install. Ultimately it calls a wackload of MSI. The suite
installer finishes with exit code 256 (not an error) and the series of MSI then run their
course. The problem is this takes a rather long time to complete (20 to 35 minutes, it's
a lot of media). Subsequent MSI fail because installs are still taking place!
I was thinking of using the simple method of a very long ping, but this is a
hack...
Would anyone have any ideas for me to stall subsequent installs until the
Autodesk suite is completed?
Thanks.
PS. WPKG is freakin' awesome.
