Powershell Call MSI with Arguments

Question

I\'m working on a powershell script to install Autodesk products and I am having some trouble.

I\'ve tried this many different ways and keep running into errors.

Answer 1

In order to understand how to "quote" the parameters for start-process here is a sample of code to start the unattended installation of vmtools

the command i wanted to run in a powershell:

setup.exe  /l /v"/qn REBOOT=R ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Hgfs,Unity,BootCamp,SVGA"

The powershell sample:

Start-Process -FilePath "$vmtoolspath\setup.exe" -ArgumentList "/l /v ""/qn REBOOT=R ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Hgfs,Unity,BootCamp,SVGA"" " -Wait
