I am trying to deploy a web plug-in for an application called QlikView.
I am running the MSI with the following command line ... MSIEXEC /jm C:\[Path to where I extracted the source files]\QvPluginSetup.msi /quiet
While SMS reports success, the plugin does not run and does not appear in Add or Remove Programs as it does if I run this command manually from the machine.

It's likely a per-user install. Although this may not work, try adding ALLUSERS=2 to your command line. Another question... why are you running it from c:\somepath? It would be more standard if you put the .msi file in the source, and distributed it to your DPs. If neither of those help, it's likely a really stubborn per-user msi. In that case, you're stuck with the mess of a per -user install. You may need to change the program to run "only when a user is logged in" and "with user rights". That solution should be your last choice, though. A per-user install of an MSI means that inventory may not see that Product as being installed.

/j is for advertising the plug-in. Is that what you are attempting to do or do you want to actually install it? Keep in mind that the path you mentioned will have to exists on EVERY system you deploy to AND be available to the SMS installer. I would place it on a server that everyone has access to and use a unc path. One more thing make sure you have the most updated msiexec in place or the /quiet switch will cause failures.

You could also put the following in a batch file and use that.
%systemroot%\system32\msiexec.exe /jm "\\server\share\QvPluginSetup.msi" /quiet

Now that I see Sherrys post she is more than likely correct. Most web plugins are quite picky and more than likely only going to work on a per user basis.
