Installer Parameters and Unattended Installation

Dec 19, 2018

The Verba msi installers files can be started from the command line with additional parameters. The installers can be started the following way:

msiexec /i VerbaRecording.msi [logging setting] [/quiet] [verba parameters]

Logging setting

Loggin can be added by the /L parameter, plus the letters which specify the required information. For example /LE means logging the errors only, or /LEI means logging the errors and the status messages. For Verba, the recommended setting is /L*V. After the logging setting, a file name also has to be specified for the output, for example "/L*V installer.log". The following table describes the available options:
