4.0.0_release_blocker canceled: [Bug 122560] msiexec installation

Bug 122560: msiexec installation only possible with parameter "/i"
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122560
------- Additional Comments from Andre <aw...@googlemail.com>
If you start msiexec without the /qn option it shows one message box reading
"Please use the file setup.exe to start the installation.". This comes from a
rule in the MSI file encoded in the
main/instsetoo_native/inc_openoffice/windows/msi_templates/LaunchCo.idt file:
(VersionNT < 600) or (SETUP_USED=1) or Installed OOO_LAUNCH_2
with OOO_LAUNCH_2 being the id of the message text quoted above.
This basically means that on everything before Vista the MSI could be installed
as is, while on Vista and above (Windows7 and Windows8) you need to run the
setup.exe.
The line was checked in on Dezember 4th, 2009 with the comment:
#i96594# Allow customization of 'register for Microsoft File Types' in custom
setup
Running the setup.exe is a little different from only installing the MSI.
Setup.exe can also run other commands and executables. This includes
redistributables for some Windows libraries and, like above, registration as
handler for Microsoft file types.
In other words, this is not a bug, it's a feature. Removing the release
blocker flag.

Added to issue.
Original request:
Harry Qi2 Zhou via oooes.org
Dear Alexandro,
Sorry to trouble you again.
When I try to install openoffice with the silent command "msiexec /qn /i
openofficeorg<version>.msi", there is no any response.
Then I try to run command without parameter "/qn", I got the prompt that I
should use "setup.exe" to install. (refer to the attached picture)
Could you help to check this problem and provide me the correct silent command?
Thanks a lot.

Reproducible with [AOO400m2(Build:9701) - Rev. 1493305
Rev.1491054 2013-06-14]" on WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)"
I did some more tests and found out:
Rev. 1493382 only allows "msiexec/i". A simple installation with a doubleclick
on "openoffice400.msi" will fail with error message "please use setup.exe".
Additional info:
-------------------
On WIN7 64 bit "msiexec /i
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ressourcen\OOo\400\2013-06-20--1493382\openoffice400.msi"
TARGETDIR="C:\OOo_Server\400\2013-06-20" /L*V "AOOo4normalwin7.log" /qr" will
fail, For details please see attached "AOOo4normalwin7_immediatelyfails.log"
On WIN XP SP2 (VirtualBox) a very similar "msiexec /i
"F:\2013-06-20--1493382\openoffice400.msi"
TARGETDIR="C:\OOo_Server\400\2013-06-20" /L*V "AOOo4WINXP.log" /qr" will
successfully start to install AOO, but Installation will not be finished
because an Extensions registration problem, what might be a different issue.
For details please see attached "AOOo4WINXP_StartsSuccessful.log"
On WIN7 Running a command line
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ressourcen\OOo\400\2013-06-20--1493382\setup.exe /h"
shows that setup.exe will not allow a "/i" installation, same on WIN XP - what
ever that might mean.
Not a new problem, I already see the problem with a 3.4beta. Worked fine with
OOo 3.1.1.
I think it's a really critical problem that AOO does not allow administrators
to deploy AOO as they need.

I will test with latest builds, soon.
It seems my experience does not confirm all details of the report. I am used to
do an administrative installation every week with a batch with contents like
"msiexec /a
"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ressourcen\OOo\400\2013-06-15_DEV\2013-06-14_1493305\openoffice400.msi"
TARGETDIR="C:\OOo_Server\400\2013-06-14" /L*V "AOOo4.log" /qr", what always
works fine and creates an installation log.
But I fail to do a normal installation ""msiexec /i ...", get a message "Please
use setup.exe"
@fanyuzhen@gmail.com:
The manual you cited is more than outdated.
Can you please (as a first step) try proceeding for administrative
installation? Your results can be base for further research.

I think the base problem here is that 'msiexec /a' does not work. I created
some logs, will need some time to understand what happens.
