The Verba msi installers files can be started from the command line with additional parameters. The installers can be started the following way:

msiexec /i VerbaRecording.msi [logging setting] [/quiet] [verba parameters]

Logging setting

Loggin can be added by the /L parameter, plus the letters which specify the required information. For example /LE means logging the errors only, or /LEI means logging the errors and the status messages. For Verba, the recommended setting is /L*V. After the logging setting, a file name also has to be specified for the output, for example "/L*V installer.log". The following table describes the available options:

Letter	Log entries
V	Verbose output
O	Out-of-disk-space messages
I	Status messages
C	Initial UI parameters
E	All error messages
W	Non-fatal warnings
A	Startup of actions
R	Action-specific records
M	Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
U	User requests
P	Terminal properties
X	Extra debugging information.
*	Wildcard for adding all parameters, except the V and X.
+	Append to existing file
!	Flush each line to the log

Quiet Mode

Quiet mode enables the installation of the Verba software with a single command, without using the GUI. In this case, all settings going to be set based on the provided parameters.

If quiet mode is used, the SKIPSQLSEQUENCE=1 parameter is mandatory!
