About the command-line switches

The Windows Installer program’s command-line switches can be used together with the Meridian package arguments to further control the installation, such as for display, restart, logging, and repair options. For example, use the /quiet switch to install a product without user interaction. Refer to the Windows Installer help (msiexec /help or /?) for the additional command-line switches supported. For a list of the values supported by the ADDLOCAL property, see Installing or removing optional components.

Note    The install options and properties (following /i) must be followed by the display options (/quiet above), restart options (/norestart above), and log options (/log above) for the installation to work.
