Using msiexec to install .msi from command line
Is there a property set internally to determine if an .msi is run via command line or whether the installer is run with the UI?
Thanks in advance,
Don Metzler

I don't think there's any difference; if you run ftype msi.package or just look in the registry, you'll see that double-clicking an MSI package just runs msiexec /i ProductName.msi with no special switches.
(Now, it is possible to detect if the MSI was launched with setup.exe, but that's another story.)
