dxsetup /silent
vcredist_x86 /q
msiexec /I “Microsoft mathsmsi” /qn

Do you mind if I ask what you used to package it? I've tried wininstall and the setup fails and I keep getting the message "please run setup.exe" if I try to deploy the MSI that I extracted from the .exe that I downloaded. I've tried the usual tricks in ORCA too, but I can't get around the setup.exe message

Any help would be appreciated

I used WinINSTALL LE. All went very smoothly. Created the package and deployed it to the test station. Worked first time. Deployed it to the network. Again worked. Sweet.

Thanks for your quick response

That's what I used :S did your reference machine have the direct x and dot net framework already installed before you started the snapshot?

I've created loads of packages using Wininstall LE, I don't know why this one is giving me so much grief!

Thanks again

[DaveP]

When I created the package there was nothing else to add so yes Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 is the only addition made by the package.

[clairehr]

Thanks for your advice. I've successfully created the MSI now I added the dot net framework to my reference machine before running discover and now it deploys and works.

Thank you so much! Sometimes I think that WinInstall LE is too basic to do what I want - so its good to know that other people are still using it too

[DaveP]

Glad to help. Sometimes all you need to solve a problem is to 'talk' through it with someone else.

This add causes my office to open slowly. It works great but office 2010 on Win7 SP1 load time is approx 3x slower?

I'm taking about Microsoft Maths 4.0, not the office add-in
