I'm having the exact same issue as I saw in another post. I've successfully installed my software via command line with the following arguments, msiexec /i TC_2.8.1042_x86.msi /qn CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 CREATE_MSOFFICECOMM_REGISTRY_ENTRIES=1 CREATE_START_MENU_SHORTCUT=1 CREATE_STARTUP_SHORTCUT=1 DISABLE_UPDATES=1
In other words, here are the command line arguments that I'm using to install this software manually:
msiexec /i TC_2.8.1042_x86.msi /qn CREATE_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 CREATE_MSOFFICECOMM_REGISTRY_ENTRIES=1 CREATE_START_MENU_SHORTCUT=1 CREATE_STARTUP_SHORTCUT=1 DISABLE_UPDATES=1
but the install is failing because Desktop Central is adding the following command line arguments:
ACTION=INSTALL at the beginning and
REBOOT=ReallySuppress ALLUSERS=1 at the end.
I told my boss I should be able to get this software out today because everything else is ready and working - that is, I didn't expect DC to be add parameters that would stop me in my tracks.
