Command line option to tell msi installation to a specific location

Question

无论如何，是否可以通过命令行在特定位置安装msi。

Answer 1

If this is a Web setup, you can use the workaround described here . Otherwise you may specify the MSI property TARGETDIR on the command line:

msiexec /i setup.msi TARGETDIR="C:\TestLocation\"

Answer 2

Yes, typically, you can specify a TARGETDIR=(path to install to) when you run the msiexec installer:

msiexec /i (yourFile).msi TARGETDIR=C:\YourBin\YourApp

I've been corrected (thanks to 0xA3 for this!) - my initial mention of INSTALLDIR is wrong - you need to use TARGETDIR instead. That one does indeed seem to work for just about any MSI I tried it on. Windows Installer stuff isn't exactly intuitive or easy......
