  • You missed a number of switches and should have expanded on syntax. Also, you will want to check the vendor's documentation in case they decided to hard code anything in their package. Here is a more extensive list.

  • /f: is used to pass parameters to an MSI should there be one. The syntax is /f:"insertcommandhere" Note there is no space between the : and the first ". Not all MSI arguments are necessarily supported and the MSIEXEC syntax sometimes needs to be changed such as dropping " from TRANSFORMS=file.mst. - jmaclaurin 12 years ago
