Hi all,
I have an SCCM software distribution package that runs a splash screen notifying the user that official software is about to install on there computer, and then, in the background, it install the application, which is this case is a small .msi file
that installs an AT&T web conferencing application called AT&T Connect.
This same procedure works perfectly for all my other software distribution packages, just not this one, and I cant figure out why. Here is the process: A .cmd file is triggered, which runs an executable called runtasks.exe,
which invokes the .xml file that is generating the error. The purpose of the .xml file is to provide the splash screen information and to execute the actual software application installer, which you can see below in the <commandline> section.
I am hoping that one of you can tell me why this installation is failing with thie error message "There is an error in XML document (33, 30)", especially when I can run the exact same msiexec command at the command prompt and the application installs without
error. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
