Table 5. 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 the Remote Experience Agent silently and use
only default setup options and features:
VMware-Horizon-View-5.3-Remote-Experience-Agent-x64-y.y-
xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn"
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.
/x
Uninstalls the Remote Experience Agent. For example:
VMware-Horizon-View-5.3-Remote-Experience-Agent-x64-y.y-
xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qb /x"
For instructions for uninstalling the Remote Experience Agent and returning the
Horizon View desktop to a pre-installation state, see “Uninstall the Remote Experience
Agent,” on page 19.
UNITY_DEFAULT_APPS Specifies a default list of default favorite applications that are displayed in the Unity
Touch sidebar on a mobile device. This property was created to support the Unity Touch
component. It is not a general MSI property.
For information about configuring a default list of favorite applications and about the
syntax and format to use with this property, see “Configure Favorite Applications
Displayed by Unity Touch,” on page 26.
The UNITY_DEFAULT_APPS property is optional.
ADDLOCAL
Determines the component-specific features to install. In an interactive installation, the
installer displays installation options to select. The ADDLOCAL property lets you specify
these options on the command line.
If you do not use the ADDLOCAL property, the default options are installed.
To specify individual installation options, enter a comma-separated list of option names.
Do not use spaces between names. Use the format ADDLOCAL=value,value,value....
The option names are case-sensitive. For a list of available installation options, see “Silent
Installation Properties for the Remote Experience Agent,” on page 16.
The following example installs the HTML Access Agent, Unity Touch, Flash URL
Redirection, and Real-Time Audio-Video:
VMware-Horizon-View-5.3-Remote-Experience-Agent-x64-y.y-
xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=Core,HTMLAccess,UnityTouch,FlashURLRedirection,RTAV,MMR"
The Core component is required when you use the ADDLOCAL property to specify
installation options.
The ADDLOCAL 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.
