Subject: [THIN] msiexec
Does MSIEXEC on Server 2003 or Server 2008 automatically handle the "Change
User" stuff?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369521(VS.85).aspx says:
Windows Installer can perform per-machine installations without using
install mode. It is unnecessary to place the computer into install mode to
perform a per-machine installation. Windows Installer does not automatically
place the computer in install mode, regardless of the type of installation.
For more information about per-machine installations see the
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367559(VS.85).aspx> ALLUSERS
property.
It seems to be saying two things.
1. Install mode is not necessary when using MSIEXEC
2. MSIEXEC does not put the TS into install mode.
So I should be able to run an install using msiexec /I misfile.msi without
having to do change user /install first.
