The full table showing the available MSI properties, switches, options and defaults can be found in the Planning and Deployment guide.

2Pint has provided an installation script which can be used to automate the installation as well as handle various scenarios which might occur during the installation. The script can be found at the following location:
https://github.com/2pintsoftware/StifleRScripting/tree/master/InstallerScripts/Client
The script implementation includes two files:
StifleR_Client_Installer.ps1
StifleRDefaults.ini
To deploy the script, all of the files and the StifleR.ClientApp.Installer64.msi should be placed in the same folder or content source folder. To customize the client installation for your environment, modify the StifleRDefaults.ini with the settings specific to your environment. To invoke the settings in the StifleRDefaults.ini file, use the following command:
From an Elevated Command prompt launch StifleR.ClientApp.Installer64.msi.
