Ok so that worked, if I do that syntax with the “” I see in the log file where the targetdir get’s set… however it still installs to the program files directory.

 

I then tried setting the ProgramFilesFolder to c:\temp.. again the logfile shows it being set but it still resolves the real one.

 

Is there a trick to making this work?

Try this:

 

TARGETDIR=”c:\temp”

 

I can’t find any documentation to corroborate it, but all the auto-deployment scripts I have set public properties with quotes, even when there are no spaces or odd characters in it. I must have done that for some reason when I wrote them months and months ago, no?

I am trying to the TARGETDIR through the cmd line when running my MSI but it get’s completely ignored…. Some customers might need to overwrite the default value so they have requested this msiexec function to work.

 

The syntax I am using is msiexec /I foo.msi TARGETDIR=c:\temp

 

Is there any trick to getting this to work?

 

Thanks for the help,

Jeff
