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"
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 and automatically installs other
features. The ADDLOCAL property lets you specify these options and features on the
command line. You can use ADDLOCAL to selectively install individual setup options and
features. Features that you do not explicitly specify are not installed.
Type ADDLOCAL=ALL to install all features that are installed automatically (on supported
guest operating systems) and all custom setup options that are installed by default.
For example: VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL"
If you do not use the ADDLOCAL property, the default setup options and automatically
installed features are installed. Typing ADDLOCAL=ALL and not using the ADDLOCAL
property have the same effect.
To specify individual setup options and features, type a comma-separated list of setup
option names. Do not use spaces between names. Use the format
ADDLOCAL=value,value,value.... In contrast to an interactive installation, this
method installs only the specified features.
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"
IMPORTANT The Core feature is required if you specify individual features with
ADDLOCAL=value,value,value....
The ADDLOCAL 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.
