Command Line Commands do not work on Horizon Client 2012 Install

[tgreen702]

I am trying to install the VMware-Horizon-Client-2012-8.1.0-17349995.exe

When I run the following commands below the installer does not take the commands I am giving it after the .exe

VMware-Horizon-Client-2012-8.1.0-17349995.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress VDM_SERVER=vdi.mspartners.com /l*v "%TEMP%\log.txt""

How do I know this? Well for one it is not suppressing the reboot and for two it is not inserting the VDM server name and for three it is not creating a log file. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jeffrey,

The commands required have changed in more recent Horizon Client versions.  These are documented here.  The following should achieve what you're after:

VMware-Horizon-Client-2012-8.1.0-17349995.exe /silent /norestart /log "C:\temp\test" VDM_SERVER=vdi.mspartners.com

Note that the /log (or /l) switch works a little differently than before, in that you're specifying a folder and log filename prefix rather than the exact log filename.  Also, you can use the /? switch with the installer to review the switches supported.

Hope that helps,

Jon
