Is there anything special about installing MSI?

Toward the end of my install, I have something like this:

If Feature selected Then
Run Windows Installer %TMPDIR%\some.msi
END

But it never starts. The file is copied earlier in the temp directory.
What am I missing?

Thanks,
Bernard

Put double-quotes ("") around the MSI file specification and you should be
done.

Does this help?

The next SB71 maintenance release should handle the double-quotes
automatically.
