Table 7‑8. MSI Command-Line Options and MSI Properties (Continued)
MSI Option or Property Description
ADDLOCAL
Determines the component-specific options to install.
In an interactive installation, the View installer displays custom setup options that you
can select or deselect. In a silent installation, you can use the ADDLOCAL property to
selectively install individual setup options by specifying the options on the command
line. Options that you do not explicitly specify are not installed.
In both interactive and silent installations, the View installer automatically installs
certain features. You cannot use ADDLOCAL to control whether or not to install these non-
optional features.
Type ADDLOCAL=ALL to install all custom setup options that can be installed during an
interactive installation, including those that are installed by default and those that you
must select to install, as well as all non-optional features that are installed automatically
(on supported guest operating systems).
The following example installs Core, PCoIP, UnityTouch, VmVideo, PSG, and all
features that are supported on the guest operating system: VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-
xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL"
If you do not use the ADDLOCAL property, the custom setup options that are installed by
default and the automatically installed features are installed. Custom setup options that
are off (unselected) by default are not installed.
The following example installs Core, PCoIP, UnityTouch, VmVideo, PSG, and the on-
by-default custom setup options that are supported on the guest operating system:
VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn"
To specify individual setup options, type a comma-separated list of setup option names.
Do not use spaces between names. Use the format ADDLOCAL=value,value,value....
You must include Core when you use the ADDLOCAL=value,value,value...
property.
The following example installs View Agent in a guest operating system with the Core,
PCoIP, UnityTouch, VMVideo, PSG, View Composer Agent, and Virtual Printing
features (if View Composer Agent and Virtual Printing are supported on the guest
operating system):
VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=Core,SVIAgent,ThinPrint"
The preceding example does not install other options, even those that are installed by
default interactively.
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.
