Internet Download Manager is an application used to boost downloading speed and scheduling file saving. As a paid software, it has many practical functions like recording video from website content, resuming a download from the point at which it was interrupted, and creating multiple connections to the server for the same archive.

You can install Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) by using System Center R2 2012 Configuration Manager. Complete these steps for each operating system and platform combination.

To install IE11

  1. Download and approve the System requirements and language support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11).

  2. Create a software distribution package that includes the IE11 installation package.

  3. Create a program that includes the command-line needed to run the IE11 installation package. To run the package silently, without restarting and without checking the Internet for updates, use:ie11_package.exe /quiet /norestart /update-no.

  4. Move the installation package to your distribution points, and then advertise the package.

You can also use System Center Essentials 2010 to deploy IE11 installation packages. For info, see System Center Essentials 2010 and the System Center Essentials 2010 Operations Guide.

I have a MSI package that I need to install if the package is not already installed. Also I need to install it silently. The package prompts user for:

  • Installation location (C:Program FilesFoobar)
  • Install type: minimal and full (minimal)

I need to override these two parameters using command line parameters or some other method. So how do I go about these two issues. I'll use VBScript for scripting.

You should be able to use the /quiet or /qn options with msiexec to perform a silent install.

MSI packages export public properties, which you can set with the PROPERTY=value syntax on the end of the msiexec parameters.

For example, this command installs a package with no UI and no reboot, with a log and two properties:

You can read the options for msiexec by just running it with no options from Start -> Run.

The proper way to install an MSI silently is via the msiexec.exe command line as follows:

There is a much more comprehensive answer here: Batch script to install MSI. This answer provides details on the msiexec.exe command line options and a description of how to find the 'public properties' that you can set on the command line at install time. These properties are generally different for each MSI.
