in thread Need to Execute msiexec using Net::Telnet

Hi Philip,

Thanks for your help. As per your suggestion, I copied a Perl script on remote machine that executes the command line i was trying. Then I initiated this perl script on remote machine using local perl script that uses Net::telnet module. Please see below output I saw on the command line-

C:\Compatibility_Automation_Temp>perl telnet_script1.pl command is: [perl C:\Compatibility_Automation_Temp\SepSepmInstall.pl - +i sep] output is: T h i s i n s t a l l a t i o n p a c k a g e c o u l d n o t + b e o p e n e d . V e r i f y t h a t t h e p a c k a g + e e x i s t s a n d t h a t y o u c a n a c c e s s i t , o r +c o n t a c t t h e a p p l i c a t i o n v e n d o r t o v + e r i f y t h a t t h i s i s a v a l i d W i n d o w s I n s t a +l l e r p a c k a g e .

This simply says that we can't execute msiexec using remote mahcine :( (the same you predicted earlier). So is there any workaround for this like get the privilege to access this msiexec utility from remote machine.
