Table 5-6. MSI Command-Line Options and MSI Properties (Continued)
MSI Option or Property Description
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-4.5.
x - 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-4.5. x - xxxxxx .exe /s /v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=Core,SVIAgent,PCoIP"
NOTE The Core feature is required in View Agent.
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.
Syntax
msiexec.exe
/qb
/x
product_code
Options
The /qb option displays the uninstall progress bar. To suppress displaying the uninstall progress bar, replace
the /qb option with the /qn option.
The /x option uninstalls the View component.
The product_code string identifies the View component product files to the MSI uninstaller. You can find the
product_code string by searching for ProductCode in the %TEMP%\vmmsi.log file that is created during the
installation.
For information about MSI command-line options, see “Microsoft Windows Installer Command-Line
Options,” on page 48.
