To perform silent installation of software that supports Windows Installer, execute the MSIEXEC command, specifying the installation method, user name, destination directory, and other information as command options.

To use JP1/Software Distribution to install software, a call to the MSIEXEC command needs to be defined in the AIT file. Therefore, you must determine the options to be specified in the command. For details about the options that can be specified in the command, see the Windows online Help.

The following shows command line examples. Note that before creating an AIT file, always see the Windows online Help to check the options that can be specified.

Example 1: In this example, the command does not display any dialog boxes and messages.

MSIEXEC.EXE /qn /I Example.msi

Example 2: In this example, the command outputs messages about the status, memory insufficiency, and errors to the log file (MSIEXEC.LOG).

MSIEXEC.EXE /I Example.msi /Lime MSIEXEC.LOG

Example 3: In this example, the command uses a transform.

MSIEXEC.EXE /I Example.msi TRANSFORMS=TransformList.mst
