To do a silent installation, use the /quiet parameter
with the msiexec command. This means that you can
install the AccessStudio on
a computer without any interaction.
About this task
The
msiexec command uses parameters to
give the MSI-based installer some or all of the information that would
normally be specified interactively in an installer. You can include
parameters in the command-line interface to apply a specific language
transform.
Note: For more information about the
msiexec command-line
tool, go to the Microsoft website
at
www.microsoft.com and
search for the
"msiexec command-line options".
Procedure
- Open the command prompt.
- In the command prompt window, type the msiexec command
with the following parameters (use without line breaks). For
example:
msiexec /i "<path>\ISAM
ESSO AccessStudio.msi" /quiet TRANSFORMS="1033.mst" PRICE_LEVEL="Standard"
Where:
- /i "<path>\ISAM ESSO AccessStudio.msi"
- Installs AccessStudio by
using the specified .msi. This is a required
parameter.
- /quiet
