Note that in an AIT file, the MSIEXEC command must be called from the DMPWINIS command to acquire the execution results of the MSIEXEC command. When you create a new AIT file in particular, make sure that the MSIEXEC command line is specified as an argument of the DMPWINIS command.
The execution results of this script are returned as the maintenance code (and the user status in the maintenance code). For details about the execution results of the script, see E.7 Performing remote installation.
