Installing Managed System Software on Windows Operating Systems 119
You can include the REINSTALL customization parameter on the command
line and assign the feature ID (or IDs) of the software feature that you would
like to reinstall. An example is
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REINSTALL=BRCM /qb.
This command will run the installation for Dell OpenManage Systems
Management and reinstall only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but
not silent mode.
You can include the REMOVE customization parameter on the command
line and assign the feature ID (or IDs) of the software feature that you would
like to uninstall. An example is
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi REMOVE=BRCM /qb.
This command runs the installation for Dell OpenManage Systems
Management and uninstalls only the Broadcom agent, in an unattended but
not silent mode.
You can also choose to install, reinstall, and uninstall features with one
execution of the msiexec.exe program. An example is
msiexec.exe /i SysMgmt.msi ADDLOCAL=INTEL REMOVE=
BRCM /qb
This command runs the installation for managed system software, and
simultaneously installs the Intel agent, and uninstalls the Broadcom agent. This
execution will be in an unattended but not silent mode.
NOTE: A Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is 128 bits long, and the algorithm used
to generate a GUID guarantees each GUID to be unique. The product GUID uniquely
identifies the application. In this case, the product GUID for Server Administrator is
{89C7A9F7-2C31-4739-842D-F037B6C9B674}.
MSI Return Code
An application event log entry is recorded in the SysMgmt.log file. Table 6-3
shows some of the error codes returned by the msiexec.exe Windows Installer
Engine.
