Hi All,
I’m probably doing something very stupid but the below doesn’t work when using $dirSupportFiles
Execute-MSI -Action ‘Install’ -Path ‘DTEAxiom.msi’ -parameters ‘/QN REMOTECFG=“remote” CFG_FILE_PATH="$dirSupportFiles\hosts.cfg" INSTALLLOCATION=“C:\Program Files (x86)\Intapp\Time” SUPPORTEMAIL="HelpDesk@Domain.com"’
i’ve tried putting the full UNC path and it works so i’m not sure what i’m doing wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Escape the quotes. Put the symbol next to the 1 key in front of each double quote.
Now I need to find the post that shows us kitties how to use the WP HTML editor effectively so I can show you exactly what you needed.
Thanks Matt! i’m sure it would work if i could figure out what you mean… haha
I’ve tried every combination of ` + " i can think of and still can’t get it to work.

Try using double quotations “” after -parameters instead of single ‘’.
The $dirSupportFiles wont “expand” to the path otherwise
unfortunately that doesn’t work 
Doing that encompasses "/QN REMOTECFG=” that making that the only parameter. I can always copy the file in a separate command if its not possible but its just bugging me that i can’t get it to work like this.

The following code sample should work. If not can you send a sample of the log file in C:\Windows\Logs\Software
Sorry, from http://ss64.com/ps/syntax-esc.html:
The PowerShell escape character is the grave-accent.
Switch your single quotes at the beginning and end to double quotes. Then put the grave accent immediately followed by a double quote. Don’t use the + symbol.
Thanks! i used it correctly but missed the additional double quote at the end… had `" instead of '"" which was needed.

that is what i did to get it working, i’m guessing Brian’s way would have worked also.
