Can't interact with MSI

[ForeverNoob]

Hello,

I'm trying to install an old MSI package on a Win7 machine. On XP machines the package interactively asks for a target path (defaults to E:\Program Files), but on Win7 the dialog is skipped and msiexec tries to install it to the default target path (and fails, because there isn't any E: drive). How can I force the install to go interactive, or pass it a new default target path?

TIA

Please try to use the following code

msiexec /i [color=blue]C:\YOURmsiFILEpath\yourFILE.msi[/color] TARGETDIR=[color=blue]C:\YOURdir[/color]

you can execute it in elevated command prompt or create a bat file with this code.

Thanks for replying. It didn't work for me. I created a bat file with the command and ran it as admin, but all iI got was the msiexec help dialog window.
