msiexec

Is there a way to suppress the enclosing quotation marks around each command-line argument that PowerShell likes to generate and then pass to external executables for command-line arguments that have spaces in them? Here's the situation: One way to unpack many installers is a command of the form: msiexec /a <packagename> /qn TARGETDIR="<path to folder with spaces>" Trying to execute this from PowerShell has proven quite difficult. PowerShell likes to enclose parameters with spaces in double-quotes. The following lines: msiexec /a somepackage.msi /qn 'TARGETDIR="c:\some path"' msiexec /a

I have been asked to only deploy files that are bundled into MSI package. MSI contains 4 files, For that I'm using this command: `msiexec /a [path to MSI] TARGETDIR =[Application folder path]` Problem with above command is that it also deploys .MSI file to specified TARGETDIR which i don't want. Is there any workaround/way that i can only deploy that 4 files? Not to my knowledge, no. This is an administrative installation , and it is essentially just an extraction of the files embedded in the MSI file along with the MSI file itself - now adjusted to use external source files for installation,

I need to create a command line that will install TortoiseSVN and include the Subversion command line utilities. What options on the msiexec.exe command line would tell the installer to include the command set?

I'm trying to automate an install process in which I uninstall a previous version and install a newer version over the top. How should I test (in my bootstrapper, coded in C#) if the uninstall was a success? This is currently how I'm launching the uninstall. Process p = Process.Start("msiexec", /*various switches*/); p.WaitForExit(); I'm also currently tangling with dynamic multiple instances, which really bend my mind, so handling this problem within WiX itself is difficult if not impossible. Rather than invoke Windows Installer through msiexec, you can use the Windows Installer API. You can

I have an msi (authored with WIX) that has a check box bound to a custom property (call it MY_PROPERTY). I would like to run this msi from the command line, specifying 0 (unchecked) or 1 (checked) for this property. My script will determine the appropriate value (based on the environment) and inject that value into the msiexec command line. My command line looks something like this: msiexec /i my_installer.msi MY_PROPERTY=$value Where $value is 1 or 0, depending on the environment. The problem is that no matter what value I supply for MY_PROPERTY at the command line, the check box is always

i want to convert a msi file in to an exe file. When i run msi file with qn option with msiexec then my software install silently. But now i want to convert that msi file into .exe file , and that exe file runs msi file with msiexec /i "path of msi file" /qn option, any idea how to do it. Stein Åsmul If you are making the setup yourself using Installshield , the tool itself should be able to create a setup.exe file by simply setting the release settings in the release wizard - I think it just entails setting the release "Compressed" but it could require further settings. Please follow these

I have created an installer using Visual Studio 2015 (with the Visual Studio installer addon). The goal is to always run the APP with the same local resources, regardless of who is logged on, therefore we target [CommonAppDataFolder] (C:\ProgramData... on Win10). The installer works just fine placing all shared resources where we want them. But the generated MSI provides the option to install as "everyone" or just the "just me" We want to grey out the option to install as "just me". Is there a way to do this from within Visual Studio as part of the build process for the MSI. I see some

We install an application (MSI) using MSIEXEC with the following command line option: MsiExec.exe /x{code} /qn /liwearucmopvx+ C:\Log\UnInstall.tra MsiExec.exe /iC:\Source\App.msi /qn TARGETDIR=C:\Install ALLUSERS=1 /liwearucmopvx+ %C:\Log\Install.tra Most of the time this works, but sometimes the uninstall fails (not sure why yet, looking into the error). Anyways when this happens I get the following error during the re-install: Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use
