6 years ago Hi,
Just a quick update....
It looks like the 7Zip MSI installer file is not being created in C:\Windows\Temp. Might be permissions issue so will take a look at that.
Cheers,
Dave.

6 years ago Hey. Basically, for me, I had to extract the MSI package from the VMware Tools install EXE (you can run a command to extract the MIS files - just do a quick Google search. I can't remember the command offhand). I couldn't get the installer EXE to work at all. So, in my Windows answer file, I copy across the VMwareTools64.msi to C:\Windows\Temp and then call the MSI package from the bat file:
cmd /c msiexec /I C:\Windows\Temp\VMwareTools64.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=ALL REBOOT=R
Hope that makes sense!
Hi, Firstly, thanks for your scripts, they have been really useful!
The only slight issue I am having is with Windows 2016 and when i try to run the MISEXEC command to install 7-zip. It runs fine manually but when the script is invoked and it gets to the MSIEXEC command, I get this (after it has successfully downloaded 7-Zip):
This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.
A general(ish) error I know but all works well on 2012 and 2012 R2. Just wondering if anyone else has posted this issue to you?
Am creating a Windows 2016 Standard VM on Virtual Box 5.2.8 via Packer 1.2.1.
Packer output is: Build 'virtualbox-iso' errored: Script exited with non-zero exit status: 83.
Many thanks,
Dave.
