Greetings!
OS: Windows 2000
MSI version: 2.00.26.1183 (also given as 2.0.2600.1183)
All of a sudden Installer is failing with error 1639 -- invalid command line
argument. This is on installation packages from Microsoft, whether
automated, i.e. clicking on some selfextrcting, self-installing archive, or
by invocation on the command line.
The registry entries appear to be correct, i.e. install is:
"C:\WINNT\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "%1" %*
and repair, uninstall and patch have the correct command line arguments /f,
/x, and /p respectively
Invocation on the command line allows logging. It does appear that there are
no command line arguments passed to the log even though MSI parses the
command line and complains if the arguments are incorrect/inappropriate.
I can provide the log file if someone is interested.
I have found only a few posts or web sites with installer and error 1639.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Gerard
