Trying to install VMware Horizon View Client 2012 via SCCM and need the MSI switches for the package

I have downloaded the VMware-Horizon-Client-2012-8.1.0-17349995.exe install and extracted it to get the VMware Horizon View Client (x64).msi file for SCCM. I have created a package in SCCM which works but I need to be able to provide the VDM_SERVER=<IP-Address> in the install so that the users do not have to enter this address once the program is installed. Currently the SCCM package does the following:

Install: msiexec /i "VMware Horizon View Client (x64).msi" /q /norestart

Un-Install: msiexec /x {48F41C97-B35C-4B53-93A4-7A2E44ACDA58} /q

I have looked at every VMware document I can find and none of them list how to run the commands within the msi install. Can someone please help me with this? I know I can run the commands using the .exe file but I need this to work as an msi install within SCCM.

Thank you

Hi Jeffrey

Something like this should work:

msiexec /i "VMware Horizon View Client (x64).msi" /q REBOOT=ReallySuppress VDM_SERVER=<IP-Address>
