Installing OME via MDT 'must appear under the folder'
I am trying to install OME during an MDT deployment. All of the prerequisites are met, but I get an error indicating that 'the file essentials.msi must appear under the folder windows\ManagementStation.
I am running the install from the MDT deployment ISO, under the folder: :\Deploy\Applications\Dell EMC OpenManageEssentials_2_5_A00\windows\ManagementStation
with the msiexec command:
msiexec.exe /i Essentials.msi /quiet /passive
with this working directory:
.\Applications\Dell EMC OpenManageEssentials_2_5_A00\windows\ManagementStation
The Applications directory is 'known' by MDT, but I'm not sure exactly where the OpenManage Essentials installer 'looks' for the disk layout verification. Is it possible to do the installation without the prereq check?

Hi, thanks for the query.
Unfortunately, installation of OME via a network / shared drive is not supported. In this error, the installer setup isn't able to locate the msi package. This is an essential component for installation and cannot be ignored.

Thanks, Shivendra. I'm going to try to mount the OME .iso from within my mounted image. I am assuming that the install is looking for a relative path 'starting somewhere' to validate before installing.
