Bert Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I want to install a msi package. I see I can use a switch. When I use the /? to get the list, I get this: expandcollapse popupWindows ® Installer.

I want to use the runwait command to launch it and to have only a progressbar along with no reboot, so I assume I do the following, but I do not understand what I'm doing wrong, for it doesn't work: msiexec /i package.msi /passive /norestart What am I doing wrong here?

emes1 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 OR msiexec /i "[path_to_msi_package]\package.msi" LIMITUI="1" REBOOT="ReallySuppress" OR msiexec /i "[path_to_msi_package]\package.msi" REBOOT="ReallySuppress" /qb
