I’m looking for help on performing a client side MSI install silently. While there is a note about running it with the /qn switch, this seems to install the client for just the user executing the install. In other words, a "Just Me" install when using the GUI during the install process. I need to perform an "Everyone" install for all users on the machine, but I have not had any luck with getting this to work trying various switches. Can you advise on how this is done?

I would also like to silently install the Connectivity add-in. Please advise if there is a way to do this as well.

Installing the MSI for All Users requires the Microsoft parameter ''ALLUSERS=1''.

**Example:**
C:>QCClient.msi /qn ALLUSERS=1

To run the Connectivity add-in in silent mode, use the -s and -as switches.

**Example:**
C:>TDConnect.exe -s -as

Thanks! Those switches worked perfectly. As a follow up question, our user's machines have the patch 25 client currently on their machines. I'm seeing that I can't just install the patch 31 client without it prompting me to first uninstall the current version first. Is there a similar silent uninstall set of switches to uninstall the QCclient.msi? I see some switches for this, but my first round of trying it didn't work.

To uninstall the previous installation, use the Microsoft Installer command and point to the msi file with the /x switch to uninstall and the /qn switch for slient mode. **Example:** c:\>msiexec /x QCClient.msi /qn
