I am trying to deploy software to my network computers. I have successfully deployed other software using an msi, but I am having trouble getting Matlab to deploy correctly.
So to install matlab silently, I need to do this:
setup.exe -inputFile C:\temp\my_installer_input.txt
where the txt file contains the answers to prompts during install, how the install should go (interactive, automated or silent), etc
So when I set up the package in Desktop Central, I use the following:
\\DBSRVR\Share\Matlab_2012b\Matlab2012b\bin\win64\setup.exe -inputFile \\DBSRVR\Share\Matlab_2012b\installer_input.txt
My input file has it automated where it should show the prompts but automatically selects correct answers to the questions. When I put that command in the cmd prompt on the computer itself, it works just fine, but when I try to deploy it, it isnt working. It tries to run the setup, I can see the process, but I don't think the inputfile is being detected correctly. What am I doing wrong?
If I look in the log files on the machine for deployment it looks like it says:
[ 2014-07-30 08:22:06:181 ] [ 2264 ] [ERROR] Error Code : 1 , Error Message : Incorrect function.

Please help. Thank you.
