Installing a product by using the single MSI or enterprise set up

Prerequisites

When installing MSI in silent mode (enterprise deployment), ensure that Microsoft .NET version 3.5 SP 1 is installed on the target systems, otherwise the silent MSI installation will abort.

Installing a major upgrade with the single MSI setup

For MSI, you need to pass a command line option "SILENTINST" and the value "1" needs to be

set for it. At the command line

 msiexec /i "product.msi" /qb SILENTINST=1

Installing a minor product update by using the single MSI setup

If you install an update to an existing product installation, you must do so from the command line.

  1. At the command line, set reinstall=all.
  2. Set the command reinstallmode=vomus. In all but the most advanced scenarios, the command reinstallmode should be set to vomus. The following is an example of a typical command line for setup:
msiexec.exe /i \product.msi reinstallmode=vomus reinstall=all

Installing a minor product update by using the single MSI setup

If you install an update to an existing product installation, you must do so from the command line.

  1. At the command line, set reinstall=all.
  2. Set the command reinstallmode=vomus. In all but the most advanced scenarios, the command reinstallmode should be set to vomus. The following is an example of a typical command line for setup:
msiexec.exe /i \product.msi reinstallmode=vomus reinstall=all

NOTE: It is critical that you use the command line installation only when a previous version of the product already exists on the target computer. If you set the properties when the product does not already exist on the computer, the installation appears to run in minor upgrade mode, but your application files may not be installed.

Installing a major release from the command line

For a new installation where a previous version does not exist, do not set reinstall=all.
