The msiexec syntax is straightforward, and you can see it here:

If you use verbose logging you can also see what is going wrong.
You did check both the Share and the NTFS permissions?

Hello Anthony
Thanks for your post. I checked the share permissions first and the
Authenticated Users group has Read and Change access. I entered the
command
line information exactly as per your instructions, however all I got was a
Windows Installer dialog box full of syntax information? I tried moving
the
/i to after the UNC path but that made no difference?
I have been editing the GPO on the Domain Controller for the site. The DC
holds the MSIs in it's applications$ share but the applications are not
installed on the DC. The programs in question are; "2 simple 2 Publish",
"2
Simple City", "2 Simple Connect", "2 Simple Simulate" and "2 Simple
Stories 2
Tell" (educational software).
Am I getting the syntax of the msiexec command wrong or is there another
problem?
Thanks

These can be very frustrating. First make sure the application installs
correctly with a manual silent install from the commandline, msiexec /i
[path to msi] /qn. Second, make sure that Authenticated Users have read
access to the Share and the folder. Next you can get that error if you
edit
the GPO on a computer that has the product installed on it, or which
otherwise can not be installed on that computer. The GPO validates the
msi,
but the msi gives an error on the computer. You need to edit the GPO from
a
different computer.
Hope that helps. If not, let us know what the product is,

Hello everyone
For the past few days I've been trying to install several software
titles
at
one of our sites using MSIs via Group Policy. I'm pretty sure I'm
following
the same steps which have worked successfully in the past, however I
have
come up against two stumbling blocks.
Firstly, in the Application Event Logs on the workstations concerned I
was
getting an error message regarding the installation source for the
product
not being available. However, the MSIs are stored in an applications$
share
on the domain controller, and I located them easily enough when I was
setting
up the GPO?
I tried deleting and re-creating the GPO a couple of times in case I
had
set
it up incorrectly in the first place. However, the second problem I
now
have
is that when I am trying to select the same MSIs, I keep getting the
following error message;
"Add operation failed. Unable to extract deployment information from
the
package. Run validation on the package to ensure the package is
correct"
I've performed various Google and Microsoft website searches, and the
only
thing I found was a reference to an Office 2000 installation. However,
I'm
not trying to install Office. I can't even find any information about
validating an MSI package - which is something I've never had to do
previously - so I don't know if that is a red herring.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be most welcome.
Thanks!
