I am beginning to think that your Telnet session does not have enough priviledges to run msiexec, and that msiexec is objecting via a pop up which is ruining your telnet session. MS might have come to the conclusion that it would be bad for remote users to install software.

If you wish to continue to the bitter end:

So now we know that you can execute simple commands via telnet. The next command to execute is perl -v

Then a perl script that executes the msiexec command for you. This script should be first tested on the target machine (i.e. not via telnet). Then via telnet.

Once this has been done we know that msiexec can be started remotely and there is not some Windows weirdness that prevents it from happening, we can concentrate on the final step of eliminating the need for the perl wrapper on the target machine - which I agree is an excessive requirement in general but useful as a stepping stone to finding asolution.

By taking these small steps we are eventually going to run into the actual problem that is occurring here, its tedious, but as Edison said: 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
