Run msi thru bat file...

[p_1960]

Hi, May i know how can i invoke msi thru a batch file....

[Ravi Kumar Tyagi]

Edit the bat file with following command msiexec /i "FileName.bat"

[Dave Kreskowiak]

The general command line is for an unattended install with a minimum GUI:

msiexec /i _installername.msi_ /qb

If you need to add a Transform file:

msiexec /i _installername.msi_ TRANSFORMS=_transformname.mst_ /qb

All the available options for MSIEXEC can be found by just typing MSIEXEC into a Start/Run box.

You can run any windows.exe from dos by putting the word 'Start' infront of it. start myfile.msi or start notepad.exe or start http://www.yahoo.com etc
