98 Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
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
{54C04D53-C3C3-46EA-A75F-7AFF4BEB727C}.
