Hi Paul,
I couldn't reproduce the issue on Windows 7 x86 using TestComplete 8.70 - both C:\<filename>.msi and \\server\share\<filename>.msi are launched successfully for me.
Here're some more things for you to try:
1. If you're using quotes around msiexec parameters, that is, if the actual command line is like this:
remove the quotes, so that the command line is like this:
2. If the file name includes spaces, enclose it in quotes, like this:
3. Open the TestedApps editor, select the msiexec application and note the complete command line for launching the application at the top of the editor. Copy this command line and try to run it from the Windows command prompt. Does it launch the installer?

msiexec /i <file path>

/i "C:\My File.msi"
