Installing Blackberry Desktop Manager Software

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to install the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.0 Sp1 software
onto a few PC's.
Once I've customised the setup.ini file and run "setup.exe /s" from the
local drive (or network drive), the program setup installs the software
correctly.
However, when creating a Zen App object and inserting the following in
the "Run Options" tab, all I get is the MSIEXEC options screen (same as
running msiexec.exe /?)
Path to File:
C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\Blackberry_DM_4.0Sp1.exe /s
Working Directory: C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\
Any idea why the setup works when executing from Windows Explorer, but
fails when executing from Zen App objects?
Thanks for the input...

Hi Anders,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I definitely selected the option "A Simple Application (No
..AOT/.AXT.MSI file)"
It's worth mentioning that the setup.exe file calls an MSI file called
"BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi".
That appears to be done via the setup.ini file. See below.
