To create a customized installation, use /a to create an administrative installation (MSI) where you can use your favorite MSI-Tool (e.g. InstallTailor) to create a MST-file and use regular MSI installation switches like:
msiexec /i "VMware View Client.msi" /QN TRANSFORMS="mytransform.mst" RESTART=REALLYSUPPRESS
If you wanna change the Certificate Check mode, use ActiveSetup to change the following registry key:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\Security\CertCheckMode
or, if you want to fix the setting:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\Security\CertCheckMode
0 : Allow not proofable connections and do not warn
1 : Allow not proofable connections but warn (Standard)
2 : Deny not proofable connections (Secure)
Silent uninstall (Client without local mode):
msiexec /x {42F9A27E-51D2-48CE-8192-8180031E8ACE} /QN /norestart
