I'm new to PowerShell and I'm trying installing Web Deploy 3.6 on my Azure VM using PowerShell but it's only installing the minimum features and I want to install All the Features available in the installer (Complete).

How can I do this?

I'm using a command something like this:

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\Temp\WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi" -ArgumentList "/quiet /passive"

  • Then have a look at the .msi's full command line options. Commented Mar 21, 2022 at 12:39
  • According to this answer, ADDLOCAL=ALL selects all features, though the design of a given .msi file may still exclude features that way. If that is a case, a transform file is needed. Commented Mar 21, 2022 at 13:12

Follow the below ways to install All features of .msi file

Using ALLLOCAL = ALL

Using ALLLOCAL = ALL command install all features in the MSI on the local disk. Which is already Commented by @mklement0

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\Temp\WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi" -ArgumentList "ADDLOCAL=ALL /quiet /qn"

Using InstallMode

InstallMode=Complete command which allows you to install all Features of the .msi file.

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Windows\Temp\WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi" -ArgumentList "/quiet \qn InstallMode=Complete"

Note: Before using this InstallMode=Complete Command make sure to check the Vendor. Because It depends on how the MSI file was created by the vendor.

Nice, but re InstallMode you accidentally linked to the unrelated Install-Module PowerShell cmdlet. Also, the MSI property reference has no such (public) property (and if it did, it would be have to uppercased on the command line). Can you clarify further under what conditions InstallMode=Complete works, and perhaps give few examples?

Thanks, but please update your answer directly, especially to fix the incorrect "InstallMode" link. The link in your latest comment doesn't tell you any more than what is already in the answer, unfortunately.

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\pkriz\Downloads\WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi" -ArgumentList "/quiet /norestart"

the above should work with your Powershell admin mode
