Hello,

When I deployed the slack.msi file It deleted it after the install.

Can I prevent this?

Also, I tried running the .msi off of the desktop, but it fails.

Step1: Copy File from Server to "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop"

Step2: Install File "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Slack.msi"

File Details, "File not found C:(path).

If I take this route, how do I path it to the new location, when it doesn't exist yet?

    Yes, go to the Options tab of your Install step and check the "Installation Requires Source" box.

    I recommend pointing the Install File to the location where you have it on your server with a UNC path. Go to Properties --> Options on your package and set the Copy Mode to Pull. Now PDQ will tell each target to copy the installation file from the server to a temporary directory.

    I think that worked. I went with the "Installation Requires Source" option.

    Thank You!
