I am using advanced installer 11.4.1 to make an msi.
I want to run the .msi with msiexec /qn and not the .exe.
Advanced Installer makes 2 files as output (a .exe and a .msi)
When I run the .exe everything works fine.
Client.exe /qn /log "C:\mylog.log"
When I run the .msi I get no run and an error in the log
msiexec /qn /i Client.msi /log "C:\mylog.log"
At the end of the .log file it reads..
Installation success or error status: 1603.
Here is the full log..
