Andy,
I believe you are correct - the "extra" paren at the end seems to be the
culprit. Not even sure how it got there, since we have been using this script
on x64 w2k3 builds with no reported issue, but that seems to have corrected it.
Thanks for the eagle eye!

line argument"
A couple of things come to mind:
1. What is the extra right/closing parenthesis at the end of the command?
Maybe part of the surrounding script syntax, but appears out of place in
the context of the snippet.
2. Does TEMP_MSI_LOG contain blank spaces, and if so, does it have double
quotes around it?
Best regards,
Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
