Performing a Silent Installation with a Windows Installer

  • Article

With a Windows Installer you can perform a silent installation on a client machine. A silent installation is an installation that is done entirely from the command line, and requires no interaction.

  1. Go to the command prompt.

  2. Locate the path to the Windows Installer file. This tutorial assumes that the Windows Installer is located at C:\install.msi.

  3. Enter the below command. Use a valid product key code as the value for PIDKEY.

    msiexec.exe /i "C:\install.msi" /qn PIDKEY=AAAAA-1111111-1111111-BBBB

The application installs.
