Well, I was able to get it to work in a cmd windows by running msiexec /i ClassicShellSetup64_4_2_1.msi. It then ran and the installer showed normally. I don't know if I can use the /i {product} in the distribution software, I am going to try and see what it does.

The problem I am running into is I get an error 0x80070667 which maps to invalid command line for the MSI. I want it to use /qn ADDLOCAL=Classi...
