How do I force the Windows MSI installer to perform a complete install?

Question

I have a Windows MSI installer package which gives me the choice to do a Typical, Custom or Complete install using the GUI.

The default (typical) install only installs some components.

How to I tell it to do a complete install from the command line using the /passive switch?

The installer version is: 5.0.7600.

On a related note. To deal with the ridiculously complex command line for msiexec.exe you can use this free tool from Wise: http://www2.wise.com/filelib/WICLB.exe

It allows you to build a command line interactively:

Answer 2

Try adding ADDLOCAL=ALL to the overall msiexec.exe command. Something like:

C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe /I "D:\winzip112.msi" /QN ADDLOCAL=ALL
