Command line arguments for msiexec break on powershell if they contain space

Question

I\'m trying to set a public property in an installshield installer with a value containing space. While running the MSI installer I\'m using below command on PowerShell comm

Answer 1

This is the best way to install a program in general with Powershell.

Here's an example from my own script:

start-process "c:\temp\SQLClient\sqlncli (x64).msi" -argumentlist "/qn IACCEPTSQLNCLILICENSETERMS=YES" -wait

Use Start-Process "Path\to\file\file.msi or .exe" -argumentlist (Parameters) "-qn or whatever" -wait.

Now -wait is important, if you have a script with a slew of programs being installed, the wait command, like piping to Out-Null, will force Powershell to wait until the program finishes installing before continuing forward.
