Enter the setup.exe command with any MSI arguments.
setup.exe /S /v "/qn msi_args"
To exclude some of the VMware Tools components, use the ADDLOCAL and REMOVE options.
setup.exe /S /v "/qn msi_args ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=component"
For example, the following command performs a silent installation and suppresses rebooting when installation is complete. This command also installs all components except the shared folders component.
Couldn't use the .msi to script with Wise Script, so had to use the .exe.
If you want to include the serial number and no desktop shortcut:
.EXE Path: (name of exe).exe
Command Line: /s /nsr /v "SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" "DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0"
So in Wise Script it would look like :
Execute (path)\(name of exe).exe /s /nsr /v "SERIALNUMBER=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" "DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0" (Wait)
For the full download of version 8.0.2, the switches don't work as expected. The following worked for me for a silent installation and passing the serial number, however. Following their documentation on silent installation is faulty with this version, 8.0.2.
