How should we know, if we do not have an installer. Please, ask installer provider.

Maciej Los, it's a Microsoft build and deployment setup installar, actually problem is i have to install a build on 40 servers which is in form of MSI, When i start the deployment of that build, it asks me to enter some parameters like DBSErverName, ClientName, PortName etc..Manually i can enter the details but i want to do it automatically using WMI and C#, if you have any idea about this, please let me know.
