I’m trying to invoke the silent install (ideally with the fail/success prompt) through using the Administrator “upgrade by mail” option. I have the setup file in a directory called:
\file-server\nd6\
I’ve setup the Admin utility properly, but am having trouble invoking the switches found in the admin help file. It currently points to the setup file like this:
\file-server\nd6\Setup.exe /s/v"qn+"
However, it doesn’t work. Notes closes properly and then says it was unable to invoke the program. What am I missing?
Subject: Pass MSI options using CmdLine in setup.ini
Upgrade by Mail recognizes the executable, but no command line switches, so you’ll want to set those somewhere else. When setup.exe passes control to msiexec, it also passes the options you’ve specified in setup.ini. If you’re accepting all the default options, and want to silence the install except for the dialog at the end, use something like

Worked like a charm, thanks.
However… now I’m getting a “Unable to locate program” when the user gets back into their email (after the client install performs successfully) to upgrade the mail file.
