We're trying to install an msi package to users computers who do not have
admin rights to their local machine. Normally we use .exe files, but this
one we can't get around. With .exe files we hold shift and right click and
get the Run As.. option, however that is not the case with .msi's. I've
done the part where you click the msi to install then cancel, goto Docs and
Settings\Local Settings\Temp and found the temp directory with the files,
but for some reason or another, there is no executable. I know that you can
do a network install from an administrative point, but I can't seem to get
that to work with an msi file. Usually I would run "file.exe /a" and that
would go through and admin install, but the "/a" does not seem to be a
switch for msi's. I know I can run it silent, but I do not want the
defaults as there is one option that needs to be changed. Does anyone have
any suggestions that would help me either run the install on a machine with
a user that doesn't have admin rights, OR a way to make a network install
point with an msi file?
Thanks
