MSI/MST Install via MDT/SMS/SCCM
What is the best practice for installation for msi/mst package via MDT/SMS/SCCM.
1. Running the line directely
2. Via a Batch file
3. Via a vbs file.
Is it the same for other installation programme like: setup.exe?
I dodeployment since windows 3.11 for workgroup(with batch file) and was wondering if theres new way to install.
thank you

There is no best practice, as such. Your clients will probably have a preference and each will be different, of course!

1. Supports return codes from .msi engine directly. You will know when your install failed.
Other options need custom scripting to handle return codes.
Remember that cmd (unless run via .vbs with a hidden windows parameter) is usually what most users will consider closing, you do not want that.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
