[DE]Rebecca Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'm not too sure, but make sure you have the latest version of Windows Installer. I also ran a quick google search of "why .msi opens in notepad?" One of the links looked pretty helpful, check it out here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090509031104AAVvJJv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adagio Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) i think there might be a problem with default application setting, in your case i think the .msi was set to open with notepad try to get it's properties and set the open by default to Windows Installer -edit: becca ninja !

ForbiddenTech Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 It ran after I did a compatibility check in the application. >CompatMode CompatMode # RUNASADMIN MSIAUTO >UserVerifySolution User Verification of Solution Verify_YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
