Table 2‑4. MSI Command-Line Options and MSI Properties (Continued)
MSI Option or Property Description
ADDLOCAL
(Optional) Determines the component-specific features to install. In an interactive
installation, the installer displays custom setup options to select. The MSI property,
ADDLOCAL, lets you specify these setup options on the command line.
To install all available custom setup options, enter ADDLOCAL=ALL.
For example: VMware-Horizon-Client-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=ALL"
If you do not use the MSI property, ADDLOCAL, the default setup options are
installed.
To specify individual setup options, enter a comma-separated list of setup option
names. Do not use spaces between names. Use the format
ADDLOCAL=value,value,value....
For example, you might want to install the client with the USB Redirection feature
but without the Log in as Current User feature:
VMware-Horizon-Client-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn
ADDLOCAL=Core,USB"
LOGINASCURRENTUSER_DISPLAY
(Optional) Determines whether the Log in as current user check box is visible on
the Horizon Client connection dialog box.
Valid values are 1 (enabled) and 0 (disabled). The default is 1, which means that
the check box is visible, and users can select or deselect it and override its default
value. When the check box is hidden, users cannot override its default value from
the Horizon Client connection dialog box.
LOGINASCURRENTUSER_DEFAULT
(Optional) Specifies the default value of the Log in as current user check box on the
Horizon Client connection dialog box. Valid values are 1 (enabled) and 0
(disabled). No default is set, which means that the check box is deselected, and
users must provide identity and credential information multiple times before they
can access a remote desktop.
When the Log in as current user check box is selected, the identity and credential
information that the user provided when logging in to the client system is passed
to the View Connection Server instance and ultimately to the remote desktop.
Use this option in conjunction with the LOGINASCURRENTUSER_DISPLAY option.
For example: LOGINASCURRENTUSER_DISPLAY=1
LOGINASCURRENTUSER_DEFAULT=1
If a user runs Horizon Client from the command line and specifies the
logInAsCurrentUser option, that value overrides this setting.
REBOOT (Optional) You can use the REBOOT=ReallySuppress option to suppress all
restarts and restart prompts.
/l*v log_file
(Optional) Writes logging information into the specified log file.
For example: /l*v ""%TEMP%\vmmsi.log""
This example generates a detailed log file that is similar to the log generated during
an interactive installation.
You can use this option to record custom features that might apply uniquely to
your installation. You can use the recorded information to specify installation
features in future silent installations.
Example: Installation Examples
In the following examples, xxxxxx is the build number, y.y.y is the version number, install_folder is the
path to the installation folder, and view.mycompany.com is the name of a fictitious View Connection Server
instance.
Default installation example:
VMware-Horizon-Client-x86_64-y.y.y-xxxxxx.exe /s /v"/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress
INSTALLDIR=install_folder ADDLOCAL=ALL DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1 STARTMENU_SHORTCUT=1
VDM_SERVER=view.mycompany.com /l*v "%TEMP%\log.txt""
