The VMware Dynamic Environment Manager MSI supports unattended installations by using MSI properties to specify installation parameters. To perform an unattended installation, run the misiexec utility from the command line with the following properties.

Property Description
INSTALLDIR The absolute path to the installation directory.

The default value is %ProgramFiles%\Immidio\Flex Profiles.
ADDLOCAL

The features that you want to install. The default values are FlexEngine, FlexMigrate, and FlexProfilesSelfSupport.

The following values are supported:

  • ALL.
  • FlexEngine. Installs FlexEngine.
  • FlexMigrate. Installs Application Migration and FlexEngine.
  • FlexProfilesSelfSupport. Installs the Self-Support tool and FlexEngine.
  • FlexManagementConsole. Installs the Management Console.

To install multiple features, separate the values with commas, without any spaces. For example, to select FlexMigrate and FlexProfilesSelfSupport:

ADDLOCAL="FlexMigrate,FlexProfilesSelfSupport"

Note: The property values are case-sensitive.
LICENSEFILE The path to the location of the VMware Dynamic Environment Manager license file. The installer copies that license to the installation folder.
Note: If LICENSEFILE only contains the name of the license file, the installer looks for that file in the folder where the MSI resides.
COMPENVCONFIGFILEPATH The path to enable computer environment settings support as described in Perform Installation with Computer Environment Settings Support.

The following is an example of a custom unattended installation command: 

msiexec.exe /i "VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Enterprise 2103 10.2 x64.msi" /qn ​INSTALLDIR="D:\Apps\​VMware DEM" ADDLOCAL="FlexProfilesSelfSupport" ​LICENSEFILE="\\filesrv1\share\VMware DEM.lic" /l* InstallDEM.log
For DEM Standard Edition, replace Enterprise with Standard in the preceding command.

The following is an example of a typical unattended installation that installs FlexEngine, Application Migration, and Self-Support in the default installation directory: 

msiexec.exe /i "VMware Dynamic Environment Manager Enterprise 2103 10.2 x64.msi" /qn LICENSEFILE="\\​filesrv1\share\VMware DEM.lic" /l* InstallDEM.log
For the DEM Standard edition, replace Enterprise with Standard in the preceding command.
