Unattended installation of VMRC 7.0.1 - MSI install switches?

[b_at_work]

I need to push VMware-VMRC-7.-0.1.msi to a number of users, preferably without user input. What are the installation switches / properties I'm allowed to modify? I don't want checkboxes like "Check for product updates on startup" selected on startup. Thank you.

I was looking for the same info.

I'm sorry, we don't have switches set up to control these options.

[admin]

msiexec /i "c:\VMware-VMRC-7.0.1-2508353.msi" /QN /L* "c:\vmrc.log" EULAS_AGREED=1 AUTOSOFTWAREUPDATE=0 DATACOLLECTION=0

where 0 = no and 1 = yes. Tested aok.

Do you have a copy of the .msi? I am trying to remove this version and cannot find the download.

Thanks!

It looks like the non-current installers have been removed from vmware.com. Have you tried installing VMRC 8.0 over VMRC 7.0.1 then uninstalling with the 8.0 msi? This works through the GUI, I haven't tried unattended.

I successfully used the options today with version 9.0.0-4288332.

Command for the .exe installer (VMRC 10.0.2 and newer):

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

Note the "n" after "/Q" must be lower case.

It seems we can extract msi to %temp% from this exe using /x parameter....

Combine this with the above flags and I was able to get the latest 10.0.3 packaged and deployed.
