[ADMIN] 8.3.3 Silent Install error on Windows XP Pro SP2

Hello,

 

I am trying to run a silent install (no upgrade) of v 8.3.3 using the following switches:

 

msiexec.exe /log errorfile.log /i postgresql-8.3.msi /qn ADDLOCAL=server,psql,docs SERVICEDOMAIN="%COMPUTERNAME%" SERVICEPASSWORD="admin" SUPERPASSWORD="admin"

 

The install fails with the following error in the logfile:

MSI (s) (F4:F0) [09:13:01:403]: Product: PostgreSQL MUI Wrapper 8.3 -- Installation failed.

This same message appears in the Application Event Log.

 

Based on a post on the installer mailing list, I tried using postgresql-8.3-int.msi for the silent install, and received the following error:

MSI (s) (F4:08) [09:01:53:051]: Product: PostgreSQL 8.3 -- Installation failed.

The Event Log also said to use the "main MSI" file for an install.

 

Running the install from the main MSI directly works just fine.  If at all possible, I'd like to run an install with no user interactive whatsoever.  Is there something wrong with the properties I set?
