Hi all,
I'm trying to install a piece of software that seems to be an
autoexecutable MSI installer (if that's the correct term). When I run it
a small 'Setup' window pops up for about 30 seconds but the content
never gets painted. Then the installer quits and I get the msiexec usage
message.
The installer runs OK on native Windows and the previous version of the
same software (released in Feb 2007) installs OK in Wine. The exe file
can be unpacked but I don't see any msi or setup file in there.
Has anyone come across this before? Any suggestions?
Software available from
http://xsens.com/Static/Documents/UserUpload/Xsupport/MTSDK_v3.0.2.exe.

You might want to extract content of the exe file. And use msiexec directly on the .msi file that's inside that archive.
