Table 5‑8. MSI Command-Line Options and MSI Properties
MSI Option or Property Description
/qn
Instructs the MSI installer not to display the installer wizard pages.
For example, you might want to install View Agent silently and use only default setup
options and features:
VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn"
In the examples, xxxxxx is the build number and y.y.y is the version number.
Alternatively, you can use the /qb option to display the wizard pages in a noninteractive,
automated installation. As the installation proceeds, the wizard pages are displayed, but
you cannot respond to them.
The /qn or /qb option is required to run a silent installation.
INSTALLDIR
Specifies an alternative installation path for the View component.
Use the format INSTALLDIR=path to specify an installation path. You can ignore this MSI
property if you want to install the View component in the default path.
This MSI property is optional.
ADDLOCAL
Determines the component-specific features to install. In an interactive installation, the
View installer displays custom setup options to select. The MSI property, ADDLOCAL, lets
you specify these setup options on the command line.
To install all available custom setup options, enter ADDLOCAL=ALL.
For example: VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL"
If you do not use the MSI property, ADDLOCAL, the default setup options are installed.
To specify individual setup options, enter a comma-separated list of setup option names.
Do not use spaces between names. Use the format ADDLOCAL=value,value,value....
For example, you might want to install View Agent in a guest operating system with the
View Composer Agent and PCoIP features:
VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=Core,SVIAgent,PCoIP"
NOTE The Core feature is required in View Agent.
This MSI property is optional.
REBOOT You can use the REBOOT=ReallySuppress option to allow system configuration tasks to
complete before the system reboots.
This MSI property is optional.
/l*v log_file
Writes logging information into the specified log file with verbose output.
For example: /l*v ""%TEMP%\vmmsi.log""
This example generates a detailed log file that is similar to the log generated during an
interactive installation.
You can use this option to record custom features that might apply uniquely to your
installation. You can use the recorded information to specify installation features in
future silent installations.
The /l*v option is optional.
Uninstalling View Products Silently by Using MSI Command-Line
Options
You can uninstall View components by using Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) command-line options.
