Why doesn't this work? I want to copy the file to the remote machine and run it.

psexec \\epo-test -c C:\temp\Avmr64.msi /Silent

Heres the error I get

PsExec could not start Avmr64.msi on epo-test: The system cannot find the file specified.

I am trying to copy Avmr64.msi over to epo-test and run a silent install but I get this PsExec could not start Avmr64.msi on epo-test: The system cannot find the file specified.

Any help would be great.

I think what you're trying to run here is "/Silent". Try instead:

psexec \\epo-test -c C:\temp\Avmr64.msi "C:\temp\Avmr64.msi /Silent"

or something in that fashion.

  • What's the point in trying without quotes? Try psexec \\epo-test -c C:\temp\Avmr64.msi "Avmr64.msi /Silent" If this still doesn't work, then I'm sorry I have no clues. – King_DuckZ May 25 '11 at 21:59

Try the below ( untested ):

psexec \\epo-test -c C:\temp\Avmr64.msi  "msiexec /i /passive Avmr64.msi"

  • @user770022 Why are you adding `C:\temp\Avmr64.msi` within the quotes? Just try what I had given. In the remote machine it will not be located at `C:\temp` – manojlds May 25 '11 at 18:06
  • @user770022 - I dont meant the quotes. After the msiexec, just use Avmr64.msi and not C:\temp\Avmr64.msi – manojlds May 25 '11 at 18:19
  • I have tried every which way none of the ways I've tried work – user770022 May 25 '11 at 20:46
  • Hi there, I'm having exactly the same problem (with a different MSI) and see the error PsExec could not start SBERA.msi on remotemachine: the system cannot find the file specified. – Loftx Apr 02 '12 at 15:43
