MSI packs, updating

[NewsArchive]

When I send an update out as MSI pack, and want to run it silent, it needs
an extra parameter to get allowed to owervrite the old .exe files (And
perhaps the dll's too).

I remember, that you gave me the syntax quite a while ago, but I cannot find
it, and my MSI packs has grovn so mature now, that they need updates now and
again.

Best regards

This was for the "silent" install:

test.msi /quiet INSTALLDIR=c:\test DATAFOLDER=c:\data

And this for the reinstall:

msiexec.exe -i bbjprg.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus

Does this help?
