Silent Install of MSI
10,727
Solution 1
Standard Installer Command-Line Options
/quiet
Quiet display option.
The installer runs an installation without displaying a user interface.
Examples:
msiexec /package Application.msi /quiet
msiexec /uninstall Application.msi /quiet
msiexec /update msipatch.msp /quiet
msiexec /uninstall msipatch.msp /package Application.msi / quiet
Note The equivalent Windows Installer Command-Line Option is /qn
.
msiexec
run this command to find more information about the installation options.
Solution 2
See the docs for "Unattended": http://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php
In short, while there are ways to cause them to fail, these flags should work:
msiexec /qb /i blah.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress
Solution 3
There's also these:
/q , /qn No UI.
/qb Basic UI.
/qb! Basic UI with no cancel button.
/qr Reduced UI. A modal dialog box is displayed at the end of the install.
/qf Full UI. A modal dialog box is displayed at the end of the install.
/qn+ No UI. However, a modal dialog box is displayed at the end of the installation.
/qb+ Basic UI. A modal dialog box is displayed at the end of the installation. If you cancel the installation, a modal dialog box is not displayed.
