Msiexec transform

Unattended installation or uninstallation in WindowsThis section describes how to install or uninstall Acronis Backup in the unattended mode on a machine running Windows, by using Windows Installer (the msiexec program). In an Active Directory domain, another way of performing unattended installation is through Group Policy—see "Deploying agents through Group Policy".During the installation, you can use a file known as a transform (an .mst file). A transform is a file with installation parameters. As an alternative, you can specify installation parameters directly in the command line.Creating the .mst transform and extracting the installation packagesLog on as an administrator and start the setup program.Click Create .mst and .msi files for unattended installation.In What to install, select the components that you want to install. The installation packages for these components will be extracted from the setup program.Review or modify other installation settings that will be added to the .mst file.Click Generate.As a result, the .mst transform is generated and the .msi and .cab installation packages are extracted to the folder you specified.Installing the product by using the .mst transformRun the following command:msiexec /i TRANSFORMS=Here: is the name of the .msi file. This name is AB.msi or AB64.msi, depending on the operating system bitness. is the name of the transform. This name is AB.msi.mst or AB64.msi.mst, depending on the operating system bitness.For example, msiexec /i AB64.msi TRANSFORMS=AB64.msi.mstInstalling or uninstalling the product by specifying parameters manuallyRun the following command:msiexec /i = ... =Here, is the name of the .msi file.

Interface to select a previously published package and one or more transfer files, and add desired Windows Installer command line options. In addition, you can choose to distribution server that will serve the package to the desktops that validate for this configuration element.Packages may be installed/uninstalled asynchronously or synchronously and they may be installed without user notification (silent), if desired. Note: All MSI Packages are installed using the per-machine installation context. This makes the installed application available to all users of the computer and will be placed in the All Users Windows profile.SettingsMSI packagesSelect PackageClick the Select Package button to select a previously published MSI package to install/uninstall on client computers.ActionSelect Install or Uninstall from the Action list to define the action for the MSI Packages element.AsynchronousSelect this box to run the MSI installation asynchronously. In asynchronous mode, the installation will run at the same time as others. If this check box is cleared, applications will install one after another. Each installation must complete before the next one will begin. Silent Select this box to execute the desired action on the selected package without displaying any user interface to the end user. Clear the box to display the full user interface from the MSI to the end user.Additional package optionsPublished transform filesTransform files provide configuration settings to be used during the installation of a package. One use of a Transform file is to automatically provide responses to prompts during the installation, for example, to provide an installation path or serial number, so the end user does not have to. To enable the use of Transform files, there must be at least one published MST. MST files are published within the Software Management global object. Both the Add and Delete buttons will be disabled if there are no published MST files in the software repository.Click Add Files to use one or more transform files to the Transform Files list. Click Delete to remove selected transform files from the Transform Files list.Additional command line options MSIEXEC, the Windows Installer executable program installs packages and products, is called to deploy Windows Installer files.

On behalf of users. The installer doesn't prompt users to accept the end-user license agreement. For example: msiexec /i c:\work\Webex.msi ACCEPT_EULA=TRUE ALLUSERS=1. The end-user license agreement doesn't appear when you set either of the following registry entries to eula-disabled: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CiscoCollabHost\Eula Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\CiscoCollabHost\Eula Setting AUTOSTART_WITH_WINDOWS Specifies whether Webex App automatically runs when Windows starts up. The default value is TRUE. You need administrative privileges to change it. Examples: msiexec /i c:\work\Webex.msi AUTOSTART_WITH_WINDOWS=true ALLUSERS=1 Webex App automatically starts when Windows starts up (default). This setting enables and grays out the Start Webex when my computer starts control, so the user can't change it. msiexec /i c:\work\Webex.msi AUTOSTART_WITH_WINDOWS=false ALLUSERS=1 Webex App doesn't automatically start with Windows. Users can change Start Webex when my computer starts in the Webex App settings. DEFAULT_THEME Specifies the theme used for the Webex App. The default value is Dark. You need administrative privileges to change it. Users can change the theme in Webex settings. Examples: msiexec /i c:\work\Webex.msi DEFAULT_THEME="Light" ALLUSERS=1 Specifies the light theme for Webex App. msiexec /i c:\work\Webex.msi DEFAULT_THEME="Dark" ALLUSERS=1 Specifies the dark theme for Webex App. DELETEUSERDATA Specifies whether to delete or retain user database and log files. The default value is 0 which retains the database and logs during install. Examples: msiexec /i c:\work\Webex.msi DELETEUSERDATA=1 ALLUSERS=1 Removes user database and logs during install. EMAIL This parameter allows you to streamline the Webex App sign-in process for users by specifying their email address or a pattern that indicates how to derive the email address. For example: msiexec /i c:\work\Webex.msi [email protected] prepopulates [email protected] into the Webex sign-in flow. You can use the following values with the EMAIL parameter:User's email address (example: [email protected])—Sets an actual email address to prepopulate the sign-in flow. Don't use with the ALLUSERS=1 parameter because it represents just one email address. This isn't recommended for devices that have multiple users.For example: msiexec /i Webex.msi [email protected]$userPrincipalName—Instructs Webex to retrieve the user's User Principal Name (UPN) from Windows at the time of sign in. You can use this for devices with multiple users.For example: msiexec /i Webex.msi EMAIL=$userPrincipalName ALLUSERS=1$mail—Instructs Webex to retrieve the user's email address, if available, from LDAP/Active Directory at the time of sign in. You can use this for devices with multiple users.For example: msiexec /i Webex.msi EMAIL=$mail ALLUSERS=1$SAMAccountName—Instructs Webex to retrieve the user's SAMAccountName from Windows at the time of sign in. This is typically used for legacy environments. You can

HI all,My org has about 200 Acrobat XI installs currently. We are now forced to order Acrobat DC. I need to disable all cloud services and ensure the users are never prompted for login/Adobe ID.I created my transform through the Customization tool and chose "disable all features" under the Online Services area. I install via PowerShell, which prompts for the individual installation key and inserts it into the install command.After installation, you still cannot run Acrobat without creating and logging in with an Adobe ID. I cannot use the "offline exception" feature because we have a different license key for each instance of Acrobat. $key = read-host "Please enter the license key for Adobe Acrobat Pro DC:" $args2 = "/i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst ISX_SERIALNUMBER=$key /qn" Start-Process msiexec -ArgumentList $args2 Effectively, my run command is:msiexec /i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst ISX_SERIALNUMBER=1234123412341234 /qnIs there any possible way for me to install this with the same behavior as XI? We have no interest in allowing for cloud storage.Thanks for your time.

For a complete list, refer to Microsoft documentation.Supported MSI properties¶MSI installer properties¶PropertyDescriptionADDLOCALA list of comma delimited features to install locally. The features must be present in the Feature column of the Feature Table. To install all features locally, use ADDLOCAL=ALL on the command line rather than the Property Table to avoid creating an installed package that cannot be correctly removed.ALLUSERSDetermines where configuration information is stored. It is a per machine setting and is set to 1 by default for both Acrobat and Reader.COMPANYNAMEThe name of the company installing the product.INSTALLDIRSpecifies a non-default installation directory.INSTALLLEVELThe property specifies an installation level threshold. A feature is installed only if the value in the Level field of the Feature table is less than or equal to the current INSTALLLEVEL value. 100 is the default install level.REBOOTForce or suppress rebooting.REINSTALLList of features to reinstall. Setting this property results in a required reboot for 9.x.
