XP .MSI file Interrupted before completing in Vista
I am trying to run an .msi install file and it is being interrupted close to
completion. Is there a way to run an .msi file in compatability mode or as administrator to prevent the install from being interrupted?

XP .MSI file Interrupted before completing in Vista
Hi Markus,
Do you get an error message / code? Or does the msi just rollback? You could try one of the following (or both): 1. Do an 'administrative install'. Open a command shell and type: msiexec /a x:\mymsi.msi Where x:\mymsi.msi is the path to the msi-file you try to install. Follow the on-screen instructions. If the installation is successfull, the run it again from where you put the administrative install. 2. Log the installation and look for errors near the end of the log. Open a command shell and type: msiexec /i x:\mymsi.msi /l*v c:\mymsi.log Where x:\mymsi.msi is the path to the msi-file you try to install and c:\mymsi.log is the path to the logfile output.

XP .MSI file Interrupted before completing in Vista
Thanks. The log file indicated error 1603 which appears to be related to the
following: "The SYSTEM account does not have Full Control permissions on the folder that you are trying to install the Windows Installer package to. You notice the error message because the Windows Installer service uses the SYSTEM account to install software" Is this an issue related to VISTA and is there a way to resolve it?
