SUMMARY

An Installation Guide (Installation Guide.htm) is provided in the root directory of the BizTalk CD. The Installation Guide contains a section called "Silent Installation" that explains how to perform a silent install. Step 3 provides the following instructions:

msiexec /I "\\server\folder\Microsoft BizTalk Server.msi"
/qb /Lv*"C:\Temp\install.log" INSTALLLEVEL=200
ALLUSERS=1
PIDKEY="your 25-character product key (without dashes)"
DSNCONFIG="C:\Temp\BizTalkInstall.ini"
                

If you copy and paste this code into a command window (ensure that the paths to the .msi, .log, and .ini files are correct) and run the code, the following dialog box appears:

MORE INFORMATION

The syntax for the "msiexec" command contains an error at the following parameter:

/Lv*"C:\Temp\install.log"
                

This parameter should include a space between the asterisk (*) and the quotation mark ("), as follows:

/Lv* "C:\Temp\install.log"
