Using the Windows Command Line to Set Optional Parameters

You can use the Windows command line to set optional parameters that affect installation. You can run the CRMDesktop.msi installation package from the Windows command line interface on the client computer. Siebel CRM Desktop supports all parameters that you can set in the Windows Installer msiexec command line. For more information, see the documentation about command line options for Windows Installer at the Microsoft TechNet Web site.
