Additional Properties for msiexec

The following properties are common to all of the CA Technologies provided MSI installation packages:

CA

Installation directory on the target system.

Example: C:\Program Files\CA

CONFIGDATA_LOCATION

Installation directory for the package's configuration data including the configuration store (comstore).

Default: Product installation directory.

Example: C:\Program Files\CA\DSM

SHAREDCOMPONENTS

Installation directory for the package's shared components.

Example: C:\Program Files\CA\SC

Note: Once a package has been installed, the values of these common properties are fixed for any other packages subsequently installed.

For each MSI installation package you can additionally use the following properties:

DSM_LANGUAGE

Specifies the language of the CA IT Client Manager installation. Possible values are: enu (English (U. S.)), deu (German), fra (French), and jpn (Japanese).

The files for all supported language versions of CA IT Client Manager will be installed, but the language specified by DSM_LANGUAGE is used as the language for the actual installation.

Default: Empty (NULL). This causes the Installer to use the system default locale. If the system default locale is not one of the supported languages, enu (English (U. S.)) is used.

Note: DSM_LANGUAGE does not specify the language of the installation wizard dialogs.

REBOOT

Value	Description
REALLYSUPPRESS	If a reboot is necessary, it will suppress it in any case and require a manual execution.

ALLUSERS

Value	Description
0	Installs for a particular user.
1	Installs for all users but the user requires administrative access privileges on the computer.
2	Installs for all users if the user has administrative access; otherwise, it installs for a particular user.

Note: If you are installing DSM components directly using the MSI command line, you should always set ALLUSERS=1 to allow later upgrading, uninstalling, or reinstalling through Software Delivery or Deployment functionality out of a manager. If you do not set the parameter like this or leave it empty, the component is registered for the particular user installing it the first time and cannot be maintained by using manager functions.

ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT: Setting the property prevents the application from being displayed in the Add or Remove Programs list of the Windows Control Panel. This property has no effect on operating environments earlier than Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
CAF_INSTALL_SERVICE

CAF_START_SERVICE
