Why doesn't this work

Question

Why doesn't this work? I want to copy the file to the remote machine and run it.

psexec \\epo-test -c C:\temp\Avmr64.msi /Silent

Heres the error I get

PsExec could not start Avmr64.msi on epo-test: The system cannot find the file specified.

I am trying to copy Avmr64.msi over to epo-test and run a silent install but I get this PsExec could not start Avmr64.msi on epo-test: The system cannot find the file specified.

Any help would be great.

I think what you're trying to run here is "/Silent". Try instead:

psexec \\epo-test -c C:\temp\Avmr64.msi "C:\temp\Avmr64.msi /Silent"

or something in that fashion.
