1. Firstly I am running a Windows 7 desktop setup to get away from the Metro interface
2. From the Start option, find the shortcut to the cmd.exe program, right click on it and make sure to open it using the 'Run as Administrator' option
3. Depending on your User Account Control settings you may have to respond OK to the question as to whether to Allow changes to the PC.
4. Proceeding should open a black window with some text in it something like this
C:\Windows\system32>
5. Type in the path to the .msi file causing the problem and press return e.g. if the .msi is located in the C:Temp folder then you need to type C:\Temp\WhateverTheProgramNameIs.msi
6. The install should then proceed correctly."</pre><pre class="msgPlainWrap" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Courier New', 'Lucida Sans Typewriter', monospace; overflow-x: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; width: 1680px;"><br></pre><pre class="msgPlainWrap" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Courier New', 'Lucida Sans Typewriter', monospace; overflow-x: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; width: 1680px;">I did have to put ".\" in front of program to make it work.</pre><pre class="msgPlainWrap" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Courier New', 'Lucida Sans Typewriter', monospace; overflow-x: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; width: 1680px;"><br></pre><pre class="msgPlainWrap" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Courier New', 'Lucida Sans Typewriter', monospace; overflow-x: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; width: 1680px;">For some reason now I have to do this for any .MSI installer package!!!!</pre><pre class="msgPlainWrap" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Courier New', 'Lucida Sans Typewriter', monospace; overflow-x: auto; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; width: 1680px;">Tim </pre><blockquote style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid">-----Original Message-----
