I have created the following batch file based on the recommendation Stein Åsmul. Here's the link: Batch script to install MSI When I run the batch file the program the .msi file does not install and instead .msi file gets deleted from within the folder.

A copy of my batch file code, pretty simple:

echo.
Echo Installing EZL Consumer IDM 3.12.0036 now.
msiexec.exe/i c:\InstallationFiles\EZL\EZL3.12.0036InstallPrePackaged\
EasyLenderConsumerIDM3.12.0036Update3.msi 
/QN /L*V "C:\Temp\msilog.log
echo Installation complete.

  • Did you get this fixed back in the day? I think this is an MSI that runs nested MSI files as part of its main installation - essentially MSI files embedded in the original MSI run via custom actions. This is a deprecated feature of Windows Installer and can cause a number of strange problems. – Stein Åsmul Aug 07 '18 at 23:37

The system cannot find the path specified.

or 

 -2147287037 = 80030003

8003 is structured storage

0x80030003  STG_E_PATHNOTFOUND  The path %1 could not be found.
  • Is this your package or a 3rd party? MSI packages can store the file payload internally as a CAB filestream inside the package, externally as a cab file, or the payload can sit as raw files in a folder structure under the MSI (an Administrative Image). Does the installer work OK if you run it interactively? I wonder whether maybe you have been given the MSI file but the payload has somehow become decoupled from the file. Try doing an 'administrative' install of the MSI package (using /a rather than /i) and see what happens. – Stephen Connolly Dec 01 '14 at 22:47
