There are two errors in my original post that were introduced by vBulletin while I was previewing my post. There are spaces between INBOX_DIR= and "S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsIN" which shouldn't be there and will result in MSIEXEC syntax help window popping up and failed installation. The correct batch file code should look something like this: @ECHO OFF REM Map appropriate drives if they are not present in the installation environment. Installation will fail if MSIEXEC can't access those drives. IF NOT EXIST W:\ (NET USE W: "\\YourUNCPathToW:Folder" /persistent:no >NUL: 2>&1) IF NOT EXIST S:\ (NET USE S: "\\YourUNCPathToS:Folder" /persistent:no >NUL: 2>&1) REM Run installation START "A2C Transport App Installation" /WAIT /B MSIEXEC /I "\\YourUNCPathToInstallerFile\A2C Transport Application.msi" /QB-! USE_CUSTOM_APPDATA="1" APPDATA_DIR="W:\YourPathGoesHere\A2C\Appdata\" DO_INBOX_OUTBOX="1" INBOX_DIR="S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsIN\" OUTBOX_DIR="S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsOUT\" You need to create and map your own W:\ and S:\ folders (or whichever letters you have available). If you create those folders somewhere on the internal network (maybe a server or a storage) that is permanently available to the users that are going to be running A2C software then you could deploy A2C software to several computers and users would be able to run the software from any of those computers (but most likely not simultaneously!). The folders need to be mapped for A2C users with the same drive letters that you specified as properties on the command line and mapped during installation. Certificates and keys are stored in APPDATA_DIR (which you specify during installation). If APPDATA_DIR is in some network folder then those certs and keys won't have to be downloaded/supplied on each individual computer with A2C software installed.

There are two errors in my original post that were introduced by vBulletin while I was previewing my post. There are spaces between INBOX_DIR= and "S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsIN" which shouldn't be there and that's why you are getting MSIEXEC syntax help window. The correct batch file code should look something like this: @ECHO OFF REM Map appropriate drives if they are not present in the installation environment. Installation will fail if MSIEXEC can't access those drives. IF NOT EXIST W:\ (NET USE W: "\\YourUNCPathToW:Folder" /persistent:no >NUL: 2>&1) IF NOT EXIST S:\ (NET USE S: "\\YourUNCPathToS:Folder" /persistent:no >NUL: 2>&1) REM Run installation START "A2C Transport App Installation" /WAIT /B MSIEXEC /I "\\YourUNCPathToInstallerFile\A2C Transport Application.msi" /QB-!

If you create those folders somewhere on the internal network (maybe a server or a storage) that is permanently available to the users that are going to be running A2C software then you could deploy A2C software to several separate computers and users would be able to run the software from any of those computers (but most likely not simultaneously!). The folders need to be mapped for A2C users with the same drive letters that you specified as properties on the command line and mapped during installation.

Software doesn't start if APPDATA_DIR, INBOX_DIR, OUTBOX_DIR are UNC paths and errors with: "...System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x800007FF): unable to open database file at System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3...". The default installation path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\A2C Transport Application A2C Transport App stores settings in XML file: C:\Program Files (x86)\A2C Transport Application\jcq.a2c.client.gui.exe.config You need to specify those folders as mapped drives or local paths (with a drive letter assigned to that directory/partition/disk, etc.) something like that in the config file: ... The app needs to write to those folders so user running it needs to have modify permissions on those folders (and subfolders) and at least traverse permissions on all the folders above those three. The MSI should accept those properties at the command line: USE_CUSTOM_APPDATA="1" APPDATA_DIR="W:\YourPathGoesHere\A2C\Appdata\" DO_INBOX_OUTBOX="1" INBOX_DIR= "S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsIN\" OUTBOX_DIR="S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsOUT\" The command line could look like this (Run it from elevated command prompt): MSIEXEC /I "\\YourUNCPathToInstallerFile\A2C Transport Application.msi" /QB-! USE_CUSTOM_APPDATA="1" APPDATA_DIR="W:\YourPathGoesHere\A2C\Appdata\" DO_INBOX_OUTBOX="1" INBOX_DIR= "S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsIN\" OUTBOX_DIR="S:\YourPathGoesHere\ExamsOUT\" Or you could create a transform file (MST) with all those properties and use it to modify original MSI during installation.

The other thing to try is to use mapped drives for folders that are not local instead of UNC paths. Software doesn't start if APPDATA_DIR, INBOX_DIR, OUTBOX_DIR are UNC paths and errors with: "...System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x800007FF): unable to open database file at System.Data.SQLite.SQLite3...".

Hello everybody I'm network manager in a high school in Derbyshire. I've been a member for a long time but never introduced myself or posted anything. I mainly used this forum to find information about your real life experience with different software suites, providers, suppliers, etc. I hope to get involved a bit more in sharing my experience with you.
