Table 3‑5. 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,
except NGVC. NGVC and SVIAgent are mutually exclusive. To install NGVC, you must specify it
explicitly.
The following example installs Core, BlastProtocol, 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, BlastProtocol, 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 Horizon Agent with the Core, BlastProtocol, PCoIP, UnityTouch,
Instant Clone Agent, and Virtual Printing features:
VMware-viewagent-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=Core,BlastProtocol,PCoIP,UnityTouch,NGVC,ThinPrint"
The preceding example does not install other components, 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.
Silent Installation Properties for Horizon Agent
You can include specific properties when you silently install Horizon Agent from the command line. You
must use a PROPERTY=value format so that Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) can interpret the properties
and values.
Table 3-6 shows the Horizon Agent silent installation properties that you can use at the command-line.
