I'm having the exact same issue as I saw in another post.
I've successfully installed my software via command line with the
following arguments, msiexec /i TC_2.8.1042_x86.msi /qn
CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 CREATE_MSOFFICECOMM_REGISTRY_ENTRIES=1
CREATE_START_MENU_SHORTCUT=1 CREATE_STARTUP_SHORTCUT=1 DISABLE_UPDATES=1
In other words, here are the command line arguments that I'm
using to install this software manually:
msiexec /i TC_2.8.1042_x86.msi /qn CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0
CREATE_MSOFFICECOMM_REGISTRY_ENTRIES=1 CREATE_START_MENU_SHORTCUT=1
CREATE_STARTUP_SHORTCUT=1 DISABLE_UPDATES=1
but the install is failing because Desktop Central is adding the
following command line arguments: ACTION=INSTALL at the
beginning and REBOOT=ReallySuppress ALLUSERS=1 at the end.
I told my boss I should be able to get this software out today
because everything else is ready and working - that is, I didn't
expect DC to be add parameters that would stop me in my tracks.
How do I get rid of these?
Here's the relevant part of the log:
