Run the following command to complete installation via command line: msiexec /i <packagename> /qn /l*xv msi.log

Use the Windows Event Viewer to check the Application Log (look for records from Source: MsiInstaller) to ensure you have a successful installation or review any installation issues.

important

When specifying values for the REINSTALL parameter, you must list the rest of the features that are not used as values for ADDLOCAL or REMOVE parameter. It is necessary for the command line installation to run properly that you list all the features as values for REINSTALL, ADDLOCAL and REMOVE parameters. Adding or removing may not be successful if you do not use the REINSTALL parameter.

See the Command line installation section for the complete list of features.


example

Complete removal (uninstallation) from a 64-bit system:

msiexec /x efsw_nt64.msi /qn /l*xv msi.log

Your server restarts automatically after a successful uninstallation.
