This parameter tells the Microsoft Windows Installer to log operations to a file (for example, sqlany16.log). The log file is useful for detecting problems.
/package package-name
This parameter tells the Microsoft Windows Installer to install the specified package (for example, sqlany16.msi).
/qn
This parameter tells the Microsoft Windows Installer to operate in the background with no user interaction.
/uninstallpackage-name | product-code
This parameter tells the Microsoft Windows Installer to uninstall the product associated with the specified MSI file or product
code. The product-code is created when the Deployment Wizard is run to create the deployment package.
SQLANYDIR=path
The value of this parameter sets the default path to where the software is to be installed. This option is useful for silent
installs. It is ignored for /uninstall.
The /qn option can be used to perform the operation without user messages. On Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, administrator
privilege is required to install or uninstall software. When the /qn option is used, the automatic request for administrator privilege is suppressed.
The following command performs a silent install of the deployment file to the specified folder and logs the results to a file.
Caution should be exercised with the use of the /qn option since the computer system may shut down and restart without warning.
