Installation context

Microsoft Windows Installer is an installation and configuration service provided with Windows. It allows to run processes with the Windows command msiexec without any user interaction.

Windows Installer can install a package on a computer into two installation contexts: per-machine and per-user.

A per-machine installation of the package is required to enable all users of the computer to access and use the application. Because a per-machine installation makes changes to the system that affect all users, administrative permissions are required. Further information available here: Microsoft > Windows Installer > Installation context

A Per user installation

By default, the package is installed in the per-user installation context. The following command performs the per-user installation:

Teamwire will be installed to the following directory: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Teamwire

B Per machine installation

To install the package in the per-machine installation context, the ALLUSERS parameter is required. The following command performs the per-machine installation:

Teamwire will be installed to the following directory: C:\Program Files\Teamwire

C Custom installation directory

You can define a custom directory for the Teamwire app installation with the following parameters:

Example: msiexec.exe /i "C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\teamwire-setup.msi" APPLICATIONFOLDER="C:\Teamwire"

Quiet deinstallation

The MSI file path required for the deinstallation depends on your data management.

Example A: msiexec.exe /x "C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\teamwire-setup.msi" /qn
The file which was also used during the installation has remained in its directory.

Example B: msiexec.exe /x "C:\Windows\Installer\34237a6a.msi" /qn
You use the MSI file cached by the system. By default, it's stored under %SystemRoot%\Installer.
