Vista - Running setup to install program

I'm attempting to run a setup.exe program to install some software.

It works fine in a batch file, but when I package the script and the batch
file using iexpress, it errors and says:

Please go to the Control Panel to install and configure system components.

Is there a way to work around this?

In the batch file I just:
cd
setup.exe

Thanks for your help.

news:ex1MmHFuJHA.5452@xxxxxxI remember having difficulties with batch files in IE Express sometime
back. I wish I could remember the details, but they escape me at the moment.
I have always had good luck with using VBScripts, though. Just use something
like 'wscript.exe myscript.vbs' in the 'Install Program' section.

Sorry I didn't make it clear. I'm not trying to run a script. It's
setup.exe program that came with some packaged software.

I want to run it and then return to the batch file to contiune doing other
things.

Thanks for your help.

news:ex1MmHFuJHA.5452@xxxxxxIt it probably something as simple as you attempting to execute the wrong
file. If you want your scripts to be robust then you MUST fully qualify your
executables, e.g. by coding like so:

"c:\My Package\setup.exe"

If you don't then you'll never know what you run!

I had a similar problem which was solved by copying all files to the local
machine and running from there, instead of off a network location.

There may be a more elegant solution, but this did the trick for me.

Good luck all,
