MsiExec.exe

InstallShield 2018 Express Edition

MsiExec.exe is the executable program of the Windows Installer used to interpret installation packages and install products on target systems. After you build your release, you can install your Windows Installer package (.msi) from the command line. Currently, there is no support for passing Windows Installer parameters other than at the Setup.exe command line. To ensure that Windows Installer is installed on a target system, InstallShield creates a Setup.exe for your application by default. Setup.exe installs Windows Installer if it is not present on the target system or upgrades Windows Installer if an older version is present.

After building a release of your product, you can install it from the command line.

For an exhaustive MSIExec.exe reference, see Command-Line Options in the Windows Installer Help Library. For information on passing MsiExec.exe command-line parameters to Setup.exe, see Setup.exe.
