Re: msiexec problem

manged to fix it using the following command line -

msiexec.exe /q ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIXPHEX /i "Pervasive.SQL Client.msi" /qb+!

sems that sms installed it only with the localadmin context, putting the all
users switch in means it then shows up in add/remove programs and the start
menu for all users.
