Hello.
I have an InstallShield project that generates an .MSI installer with 3 portals, each one being a Feature in the ISM project.
I need help on how to handle this project so that it is possible run a custom installation on command prompt choosing, also via command line, which portals (Features) I like to install.
Or can anyone help by guiding which syntax to use in DOS to install the way you want?
Thank you in advance

Hello @guilhermerezend!
Thank you for your reply.
Please accept our apologies for the confusion.
I understand that your installer is not generating an error.
Is my understanding correct that you are trying to pass the feature names to msiexec for your MSI?
If so, you could try:
msiexec.exe /i "C:\MyInstaller.msi" ADDLOCAL=WebSite1,WebSite2
where C:\ is the path to the MSI.
Here is a link to the official Microsoft documentation about msiexec.exe, the main Windows Installer executable:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msiexec
Here is a link to the official Microsoft documentation about the ADDLOCAL public MSI property:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/addlocal
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Hello @guilhermerezend.
Thank you for your post.
Could you please follow these steps to generate a verbose MSI install log?
1. In the Windows Registry Editor, create the following Windows Registry entries:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Type: Reg_SZ
Value: Logging
Data: voicewarmupx
per the documentation at the following link:
2. Run your installer that reproduces the issue.
3. Reproduce the issue.
4. Zip up the MSI*****.LOG file in your %TEMP% folder, where ***** resolves to random letters and numbers.
5. Provide the ZIP file containing the verbose MSI install log in a private message.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

My installer is not having an error.
What happens is that some customers need to do the installation through DOS
Prompt (this I know how to do, using the command "msiexec /i
"myInstaller.msi"), however, they need to perform a custom installation,
selecting what you want to install (I don't know how to do this).
