Windows Installer cannot execute EXE install files

by

When I run the msiexec.exe with an msi file, it runs perfectly.
The problem is that many install files are not msi‘s but exe‘s.

My question is: How can I run an exe file with the msiexec.exe command?
If it’s not possible, is there a way to convert the exe to msi properly?

Thank you very much,

Regards.

Answer

You cant run a exe with msiexec commands. You need to use supported commands for the exe you are deploying. Check out this site www.appdeploy.com/packages for info on switches for software.
