When I try double clicking on the .msi I go through the dialogue and receive the message that the installer is installing Eclipse. Then I receive the error display = Internal Error 2755.3 etcEtc.msi
When I try a silent install via:

and when I click OK
nothing else happens and I do not get a log file.
Obviously I screwed up somewhere but do not see it.
Additional information:
The Eclipse MSI is from the MQ6 installation media.
The OS is Win2K |

reading that output I'd try swapping the /qf and the path to the msi file...
that is, I'd put “w:\Middleware\MQ6.0\Prereqs\IES\MSI\IBM WebSphere Eclipse Platform V3.3.msi" as the first argument. |

I have already tried:
| Code: |
| msiexec /i “w:\Middleware\MQ6.0\Prereqs\IES\MSI\IBM WebSphere Eclipse Platform V3.3.msi" /qf /l*v c:\Temp\EclipseInstall.log /m mif_file TARGETDIR="d:\Program files\IBM\Eclipse SDK30" TRANSFORMS=1033.mst AGREETOLICENSE=“yes” ADDLOCAL=“Base”[quote] |
with the same results. Maybe its PMR time?[/quote]
I thought that there might be something hidden in the command that was screwing it up. So I typed the command over again and tried. This time I did not get the display panel with the input parameter documentation etc. The log looks like this:

I FOUND THIS DOING A GOOGLE ON MSIEXEC error code 3
2203
Database: [2]. Cannot open database file. System error [3].
How does that help? There shouldn't be a DB involved. |

Looks like PMR time.
I don't see anything obvious. |

Were those Windows “smart quotes” in the original command? If so, try replacing them with ASCII "double quotes". |

reKarm,
I don't know what they were. I too noticed that they did not display correctly. So I retyped the entire command making sure to use double quotation marks. The results were decidedly different.
I no longer get the display telling me what the options are for msiexec
I now get a log file, the contents of which is posted above.
The log file shows a 2203 error with a system return of 3.
This is supposed to indicate an error opening a database. What database? |
