MSI installer doesnt function with command line arguments

Post by VDMGC »

The MSI installer is a great idea to deploy the software easily, but it kinda gets painful to update manually on 10 or more computers.

The problem with the MSI installer is that the "SERVER" and "CLIENT" components aren't separate MSI installer "Features, but a condition. This makes it impossible to deploy with the option to install only the viewer:

msiexec /i ultraVNC.msi /passive /COMPADDLOCAL=VIEWER="1"

or

msiexec /i ultraVNC.msi /passive /COMPADDLOCAL=SERVER="1"

Both server and client are all part of the DefaultFeature property.

We have same issue, we want to install only server. It's possible to do via exe installer, but not with MSI installer, we tried transform files already (changed values and changed conditions).
Would like to have that function there because I don't need to install viewers when I only need servers.
