Hi

When following the instrucions at to
Type ppviewer.exe /c:“msiexec /i ppviewer.msi INSTALLLOCATION=c:\target” where c:\target is the installation directory.
I get a dialog box headed Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer 2003, and says "Command Line Syntax Error. Type Command /? for help"

My actual command is
ppviewer.exe /c:“msiexec /i ppviewer.msi INSTALLLOCATION=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\PowerPoint Viewer”

Any ideas?

Thanks
 
Actally I noticed that there is noe Power Point Viewer 2007.

On this page is also says to
Type ppviewer.exe /c:“msiexec /i ppviewer.msi INSTALLLOCATION=c:\target” where c:\target is the installation directory.
even though the application is actually called "PowerPointViewer.exe" (not ppviewer).

When I amend this to use the actual application name, a dialog box appears just giving the options available: /extract, /quiet & /?

Any ideas?

Thanks
