Basic MSI silent installations
trying to get a basic msi project setup.exe to run in silent mode.... Example .....
setup.exe /s /v"Propertyone=True" /v"Propertytwo=False" /v"/qb"
If I try to run it like this it just opens the msi installer like normal making me setup through the dialogs. I must be missing a step. I am using the Help Libary in installsheild to show me how to do this "Setup.exe and Update.exe Command-Line Parameters" . Has anyone ever tried to do this? I have a customer who wants to use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to distribute one of my installers. Thought I could have this run in silent mode to be pushed down and just pass in the couple variables I ask for in custom dialogs.
Thanks

setup.exe /s /v"/qn" /v"PROPERTY=PropertyValue" /v"PROPERTYTWO=PropertyTwoValue" /v"INSTALLDIR=\"c:\Where\ever\""
I could be wrong but I do not think you can change private properties(propertis in Upper and Lower case) in the manner!
I forget but i don't even thing you need the multiple "/v":
setup.exe /s /v"/qn" /v"PROPERTY=PropertyValue PROPERTYTWO=PropertyTwoValue"
and you need to quote if spaces in property values:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn" /v"PROPERTY=PropertyValue PROPERTYTWO=\"Property Two Value\""
