Running .Net SP in Azure web role

[Eric Kool-Brown]

Has anyone tried to install the .Net SP into an Azure web role? I want to run the SP installer MSI (shibboleth-sp-2.5.1-win64.msi) as part of a web role startup script to automate the process. I am currently working on this and am blocked on getting the MSI to run unattended. I am using the command

msiexec.exe /I shibboleth-sp-2.5.1-win64.msi /passive /L*v shibinstall.txt

It is stopped at this operation: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=EditConfigFiles,,)

I have to compare the with-GUI to w/o-GUI runs of the installer to see what is going on at this point. I've got the SP source but haven't located the MSI source. I won't be able to get to this for a day or two and thought I'd ask the list if anyone has crafted an unattend answer file or similar to solve this issue.

Thanks,
