msiexec.exe /i UCClient_de.msi /q CTISERVER=ctiserver.mydomain.de
- Standard installation with Client TSP, Basic User Interface, CTISERVER is ctiserver.mydomain.de
msiexec.exe /i UCClient_de.msi /qb CTISERVER=ctiserver.mydomain.de CLIENTTSP=edial
- Preparing Administrative Installation for Distribution with Group Policy
msiexec.exe /a UCClient_de.msi
- Administrative Installation without Outlook Add-In
msiexec.exe /a UCClient_de.msi OUTLOOKADDIN=0
- Deinstallation
msiexec.exe /x UCClient_de.msi
Create log files for the setup
- Start the setup with a command line like this:
msiexec.exe /i C:\Pfad\IhrProdukt.msi /L*v C:\IhrProdukt.log - With Windows Installer 3.0 or higher you can additionally use the x parameter to get extended debug information:
msiexec.exe /i C:\Pfad\IhrProdukt.msi /L*vx C:\IhrProdukt.log If Windows Installer crashes or freezes, so that you have to terminate the process via the task manager, the last logging information may be lost because it has not yet been written to the file. In this case, add the ! parameter so that each line is immediately written to disk:
msiexec.exe /i C:\Pfad\IhrProdukt.msi /L*v! C:\IhrProdukt.log
msiexec.exe /i C:\Pfad\IhrProdukt.msi /L*vx! C:\IhrProdukt.log
Please note that this will slow down your setup!
Restrictions
When using Empirum's Matrix42 software for software distribution, please ensure that the IGNOREACU parameter is set to 1, otherwise the ProCall Client will be uninstalled immediately.
