Using Win 2003 server,
using active directory,
I cannot get an assigned msi file to install
on a client (win XP) box.

I have been on the phone with microsoft support for
a couple of months now, they are about ready to tell
me that they cannot figure it out. That there is something wrong with
the MSI file.

If I call installshield, (I used install shield express to create the
msi file), they ask me if the application installs when I run setup
or double click on the msi file. When I say Yes, the conversation
is over. Install shield says that if the msi installs by double clicking
on the msi file, and doesn't work with active directory, then it is not
there problem, That it is an active directory problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can go to get help?

Thanks in Advance,

Maybe try and use logging and see where it fails

Do other msi files install fine ? Test with one simple msi setup file.

The support people I have been working with
had me turn on logging some time ago.

I have sent them about a dozen log files,
they still can't figure it out.
