Admin Rights: Please make sure you launch your MSI installer from an elevated command prompt (cmd.exe):

  • Search for cmd.exe and right click it and select Run as Administrator.
  • Now run the MSI with the /quiet parameter.

Debugging & Logging: It helps to create a log file to determine what is going on. Please see information on MSI logging here. You can enable logging for all MSI operations, or define logging via the command line or via settings inside the MSI. Please visit the link for details.

Express Logging (Verbose): Simplest possible, verbose logging from cmd.exe:

msiexec.exe /i C:\Path\Your.msi /L*v C:\Your.log
