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.

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.

Example PowerUser installation

The following example uses all of the Meridian options provided in the Windows Installer Packages:

msiexec /i "BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise (x64).msi" LWSFOLDER="C:\BC-WorkSpace\" 
EDMSERVERNAME="Rainier" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\BC-Meridian" WEBACCESSURL=
