Installing and removing components with an MSI file and direct selection

Run the MSI file, manually select the components to install, and specify their installation parameters on the command line. In this case, you do not need the MST file.

To install or remove components with an MSI file and direct selection

Extract the MSI file and the installation packages (CAB files) as described in Extracting the MSI, MST, and CAB files.

For this installation method, you only need the MSI and CAB files. You do not need the MST file.

On the command-line interface of the machine, run the following command:

msiexec /i <MSI file> <PARAMETER 1>=<value 1> ... <PARAMETER N>=<value n>

Use spaces to separate the parameters, and commas without spaces to separate the values for a parameter. For example:

msiexec.exe /i BackupClient64.msi ADDLOCAL=MmsMspComponents,BackupAndRecoveryAgent,CommandLineTool,TrayMonitor TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\BackupClient" REGISTRATION_ADDRESS=https://eu2-cloud.company.com REGISTRATION_TOKEN=34F6-8C39-4A5C

To check the available parameters and their values, see Parameters for unattended installation (MSI).
