Basically we still use GPO's but we fix all the problems, so we can install setup.exe's (not just MSI's), you get live feedback about whats being installed on what machines, you can schedule deployments and you can target by more than just OU, Security group and WMI. We've prepared installer for our client using InstallShield technology. Installer works fine but client wants this installer in msi technology. We decided to create wrapper using WiX. Msi installer should do few things: Extract IS installer into temp directory. Run InstallShield setup.exe. Remove temporary directory after IS finish.

I have a MSI package that I need to install if the package is not already installed. Also I need to install it silently. The package prompts user for:
- Installation location (C:Program FilesFoobar)
- Install type: minimal and full (minimal)
I need to override these two parameters using command line parameters or some other method. So how do I go about these two issues. I'll use VBScript for scripting.

You should be able to use the
/quiet
or /qn
options with msiexec
to perform a silent install.MSI packages export public properties, which you can set with the
PROPERTY=value
syntax on the end of the msiexec
parameters.For example, this command installs a package with no UI and no reboot, with a log and two properties:
You can read the options for
PolynomialPolynomialmsiexec
by just running it with no options from Start -> Run.21.8k66 gold badges6969 silver badges100100 bronze badges

The proper way to install an MSI silently is via the
msiexec.exe command line
as follows:Quick explanation:
There is a much more comprehensive answer here: Batch script to install MSI. This answer provides details on the msiexec.exe command line options and a description of how to find the 'public properties' that you can set on the command line at install time. These properties are generally different for each MSI.
