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 Install Or Remove Optional Components.
