How to resolve this issue in Pywinauto to run .msi installer

If running through pywinauto giving error..

from pywinauto.application import *
commands=command+'\msiexec.exe /i "....msi"'
app=Application.Start(commands)

error is raise AppStartError(message) AppStartError: Could not create the process

Solution

finally commands should have the next form

r'"C:\Program Files\...\some.exe" /configure'

So, I suppose in your case should be something like that

commands=r'"%s\msiexec.exe" /i ....msi' % command

(be careful with slash before msiexec.exe)

But I agree with @Chris Morgan, maybe pywinauto is not the best way for .msi
