September 8, 20159 yr @Rick - How can I install this silently? I tried using qn or qb switch but it will not install. I'm using win7 x64. Thanks
September 9, 20159 yr Author Did you include a forward slash? (run msiexec /a for silent switches) Windows ® Installer.

January 31, 20169 yr The installer requires to accept eula now, so here is switch that worked for me: EULAS_AGREED=1 Added to switch and worked perfect

September 14, 20168 yr Could you make a tool to run at post-install to make the installed one become lite? (preferably with optional features). This could be easier for you to make it compatible with future versions. Thanks in advance. PS: A GUI based one would be nice but there's no need to use GUI if your Batch Script's syntax-and-use is embedded on itself. I suggest to use a switch (for example "-?") to request the documentation, like DOS commands do. PS2: This is not my native language… please excuse my bad english. Edited September 15, 20168 yr by t33st33r fixed the way i express the idea
September 17, 20168 yr i can't understand where i write this vmware-lite.msi SERIALNUMBER=12345-12345-12345-12345-12345 DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1 EULAS_AGREED=1 AUTOSOFTWAREUPDATE=1 /qr /norestart please can you make a litle tutorial to see how you make the silent install lite version thanks again ricktendo
