Hi there,
I would like to be able to install the same .msi package with UI and in silent mode (from the command line).
I know the "Limit to basic user interface" and "Silent install of prerequisites" options - The problem is that when building a package with these switches it is running without UI also when not running it from the command line. I also tried the /qn switches when installing but it did not worked...
Any idea?
Thanks,
Avi

Hi Avi,
In order to run a MSI file from command line without UI, you could use the following command line option
msiexec /i mypackage.msi /qn
If your your package is of EXE type, the command line is:
mypackage.exe /qn
For more details on command line options please visit:

If your package requires prerequisites, I'm afraid that you cannot set from command line how they will be installed: with or without UI. This is decided when you build the package.
This feature is on our to do list and will be available in a future release.
Best regards,
Ciprian
