Installing the msi silently

Hi,Im using wyBuild to install an msi file (I put the msi file in the Temporary folder and check "Execute file after execution has complete").

Is there a way to send parameters, as shown here: http://communities.quest.com/community/uwm/blog/2012/09/21/the-complete-guide-to-msi-switches-for-silent-software-installationso that the msi installation will be a silent one? (I don't want my users to have to click next next next. Not sure they can handle that...).

Thanks!

You can pass the commandline switches when you're executing files (including msi files).

Nice, but if Im already running the msi, what should I be writing on the command line?I want to write something like msiexec /i arnonit_setup.msi /quiet /log install.logbut will it not execute the msi twice?I hope u understand the question. Just want to know what exactly I need to write on the command line.

For your example:

msiexec /i arnonit_setup.msi /quiet /log install.log

Simply select the msi you want to execute, and use this as the commandline switches:

/quiet /log install.log

Thank you, Ill try that either today or next week.

Works like a charm. Thank you!
