SYMPTOMS
When you specify an .inf setup file for an unattended install of either the Host Integration Server (HIS) 2000 clients (HIAdmin.msi/HIClient.msi) or server (HIServer.msi), the Setup program does not recognize the values in the .inf setup file. As a result, the HIS clients/HIS server software is installed with default settings.



CAUSE
You did not specify the path to the .inf file in the command line. For example, the following command line performs an unattended install, but the specialized .inf file HIServer.inf will be ignored:

MSIExec /I hiserver.msi UNATTENDED_INSTALL_FILENAME=hiserver.inf /q



RESOLUTION
Specify the path to the .inf file by changing the command line to appear as follows:

MSIExec /I hiserver.msi UNATTENDED_INSTALL_FILENAME= \hiserver.inf /q
