Silent install

Are there any bootflags so I can deploy this silently without userinteraction, I've already tried /s /v /qn both lowercase & uppercase. I'm beginning to suspect that there are just no options to do a silent install for this one.

The last comment did the trick.

VMware-VMRC-10.0.2-7096020.exe /V /Qn EULAS_AGREED=1 AUTOSOFTWAREUPDATE=0 ATACOLLECTION=0 /L "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\vmrc.log"

Works! Thx!

This thread has the flags that should work for you: Unattended installation of VMRC 7.0.1 - MSI install switches?

With the latest change they've switched from .msi to a .exe file... Either way, they don't seem to be working...

You can also try VMware-VMRC-10.0.2-7096020.exe /x to extract .msi from this .exe file...

For me ( on Windows 10 ent) it Works like half-way.

Yes it installs silently, but there are following issues

1- It isntalls to  C:\VMware\VMware Remote Console\  not Under C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console\

2- it does not create uninstall entry in Add/remove programs

Seems that using /v /QN somehow resets all msi properties.

I can fix first issue with adding TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)"

but not 2 .
