Code:

msiexec.exe /f /i "c:\MQ7base\Prereqs\IES\MSI\IBM WebSphere Eclipse Platform V3.3.msi" ADDLOCAL="Base" AGREETOLICENSE="yes" TRANSFORMS="1033.mst" /l*v d:\MQ7base\EclipseInstall.log

This script results in a display of msiexec help window. I specified /f because I wanted to find out why the scripts does not install Eclipse. No EclipseInstall.log file is created on d:\MQ7base

If I run c:\MQ7base\Prereqs\IES\MSI\IBM WebSphere Eclipse Platform V3.3.msi" from the command line it does install.

Does it work if you use a short path for the msi instead of the long path in quotes?

Does it work if you use a different set of options (even if that doesn't produce the install you want it to... )?

Not sure what you mean by the short path.

I tried this:

set ECLIPSEMSIPATH=d:\MQ7base\Prereqs\IES\MSI\IBM WebSphere Eclipse Platform V3.3.msi

echo %ECLIPSEMSIPATH%

msiexec.exe /f /i %ECLIPSEMSIPATH% ADDLOCAL="Base" AGREETOLICENSE="yes" TRANSFORMS="1033.mst" /l*v d:\MQ7base\EclipseInstall.log

got this result:

step 1.0 - get rid of WebSphere MQ dir
The system cannot find the path specified.
STEP1.1: set paths
11:06:15.79 :START: silent install of Eclipse, the MQ7 prerequisite
C:\Windows\system32
run msiexec to install Eclipse
d:\MQ7base\Prereqs\IES\MSI\IBM WebSphere Eclipse Platform V3.3.msi
11:06:18.39 : END: silent install of Eclipse, the MQ6 prerequisite

and ECLIPSE was not installed. It display the END immediately.

I mean something like
d:\MQ7base\Prereqs\IES\MSI\IBMWEB~1.msi

or whatever the dir /x output shows for that file.

You need the quotes when using the path that contains spaces in it (otherwise msiexec will see "IBM" "WebSphere" "Eclipse" "Platform" "V3.3.mqsi" as separate arguments rather than one), and the msiexec might somehow not like having quotes there.

So you use the short form of the file name instead, so that it doesn't see the quotes and sees the file name as a single string without spaces.
