MSIEXEC not installing an MSI setup if /QUIET parameter is used to suppress the UI

I have an MSI installer that was created using Install Shield Limited Edition, I can install it normally by directly running it.

I can also install it using MSIEXEC if I do not use the /QUIET parameter, but if I use the /QUIET parameter, the application does not get installed.

What can be the reason behind it? When I directly run the MSI, it prompts for License Agreement, can this be the reason for it not being installed in silent mode?

Solution

  • The problem here was something different - after a restart of the system, it got installed silently also without opening the command prompt with elevated permissions.
