Choosing an interface type for installation
Choosing an interface type for installation
Microsoft Windows Installer lets you choose the interface that you see during
installation. If you are installing in Basic or Silent mode, you must run the
installation from the command line. If you are using a Windows 9x or Windows
NT computer, then you must run the installation from a setup file.
The interface modes are as follows:
■ The Full interface mode guides you through a series of dialog boxes to install
Norton Ghost, letting you change settings, such as selecting components and
changing directories. This mode does not require passing parameters from
the command line.
■ The Basic interface mode shows a progress bar and any system level error
messages. If you alter any default settings, you must pass this information
through as parameters from the command line. The syntax for this
installation is as follows:
msiexec /i “c:\temp\Norton Ghost.msi” /qb
■ The Silent interface mode does not show any dialog boxes or error messages.
If you alter any default settings, you must pass this information through as
parameters from the command line. To install Norton Ghost, the syntax is as
follows:
msiexec /i "c:\temp\Norton Ghost.msi" /q
