not really sure and cannont test now (no Windows pc at home), but I think msiexec needs another switch to run silently. The way I do it is: msiexec /i msifile.msi /qn so you need to use the /i switch before the path to the *.msi file and then the /qn switch to do it silently without user interaction. To uninstall, change /i for /x . Running as a local admin I get no UAC prompts this way on a windows 7 workstation. -- natxo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- wpkg-users mailing list archives >> http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/ _______________________________________________ wpkg-users mailing list wpkg-users@lists.wpkg.org http://lists.wpkg.org/mailman/listinfo/wpkg-users
