I have an .msi installer that I am trying to automate the installation for. I cannot use the /quiet option for a silent install because I need to provide the installer a license number.
I've been trying to use the SAVEINI parameter to create the response file
msiexec /i "Installer.msi" SAVEINI="response_file"
msiexec /i "Installer.msi" SAVEINI="response_file.ini"
msiexec /i "Installer.msi" SAVEINI="C:/Windows/LTSvc/packages/Installer/response_file"
None of these create the response file the install runs and then no response file is created.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for your time.
Windows Installer doesn't have the concept of a response file. Instead you pass public properties at the commandline or generate a transform and apply it at install tine.
