Msiexec/ShellExecute

Hello..

I have a machine running XPembedded with the Microsoft Installer Component
installed... ( I do not run the Explorer Shell)

My problem is that when I try to install the MSI file using ShellExecute
(msiexec /qn /i C:\BS.msi /l* C:\BS.trc) it looks as it works fine, the
files are written to the correct locations, but nothing is written in the
registry and no ActiveX' are registered. The trace file contains no error
codes.

If I execute msiexec manually from the cmd prompt it works fine..

Anyone know what may cause the msiexec to not be able to write to the
registry..??

May this problem have something to do with using the MinLogon component..?

Well it might be problem with minlogon. But you will need to give answer to
your self on this.

1 Backup your build.
2 Modify build to use winlogon instead of minlogon.
3. Resolve dependencies.
4. Make sure that it is working as you expect it to work.
5. Switch winlogon component bact to minlogon.
6. Try new build to see if it is working now.

If it is working then you had unresolved dependencies.
If not, then it is not working on minlogon.
