I used the silent installer information on the wiki and downloaded IEAK8 and created the installer package. My installation looks like this... <package id='InternetExplorer_en' name='Internet Explorer' revision='801' priority='55' reboot='false' > <check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='Windows Internet Explorer 8' /> <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 \IE8-Setup-Full.exe' > <exit code='any' /> </install> executing the command from a the command prompt installs it fine. But scripted, I get the following message in my logs... 2009-11-06 21:16:59, INFO : Package 'Internet Explorer' (InternetExplorer_en): Already installed but version mismatch.|Installed revision: '700'|Ava ilable revision: '801'.|Preparing upgrade. 2009-11-06 21:16:59, DEBUG : Found system locale: 409 2009-11-06 21:16:59, DEBUG : Found language definition node for language ID 409 2009-11-06 21:16:59, INFO : User notification suppressed.

Now I noticed in the registry that there is no remove option, not that I thinnk it matters. But it could not upgrade IE7 with IE8 but after this failure, just executing the same file at a dos prompt worked fine. What am I missing?
