Hi,

I need to install "Web Deploy 3.6" (WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi) with "Complete" option but using command prompt or a powershell script silently.

Can you help me with this issue?

Thanks.

What I have tried:

If I use:

Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/i "C:\Temp\Web Deploy v3.6\WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi" /quiet'

I can install the .msi file but I don't install it with "Complete" option (with all settings).

Solution 1

Try this command line:

msiexec.exe /i filepath.msi /quiet InstallMode=Complete

It may or may not work. It depends on how the vendor wrote the .MSI and there are plenty of vendors who are terrible at it.
