/i SysMgmt.msi INSTALLDIR=c:\OpenManage /qn
– installs a product to a specific location using c:
\OpenManage as the install location.
For example, running msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi /qn installs Server Administrator features on each

Customization Parameters
REINSTALL and REMOVE customization CLI parameters provide a way to customize the exact software
features to install, reinstall, or uninstall when running silently or unattended. With the customization
parameters, you can selectively install, reinstall, or uninstall software features for different systems using
the same unattended installation package. For example, you can choose to install Server Administrator,
but not Remote Access Controller service on a specific group of servers, and choose to install Server
Administrator, but not Storage Management Service, on another group of servers. You can also choose to
uninstall one or multiple features on a specific group of servers.
NOTE: Type the REINSTALL, and REMOVE CLI parameters in upper case, as they are case-sensitive.
