Contents

Contents
sd_msiexe.exe can be used to perform Windows Installer tasks. It is similar to Microsoft msiexec.exe versions 1.1 and 2.0, but sd_msiexe.exe has been optimized for Software Delivery.
Software Delivery macros are used in this document (for example, $msi, $iv) that are expanded to various strings during Software Delivery job processing, before processing sd_msiexe.exe. If the command is executed directly (not within an Software Delivery job), the macros may not be used, but must be replaced with real values / strings.
