Advanced mode
Advanced mode is designed for multi-user installations (e.g. installing by GPO), during updates and repair and at installing from command line. In advanced mode you can change almost every Add-in property (default registry values) and installation options using command line options.
Correct syntax:
msiexec /[option] [path to Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi file] PROPERTY=VALUE PROPERTY2=VALUE PROPERTY3=VALUE....
Property values that are literal strings must be enclosed in quotation marks. White spaces can be included in the string between the marks.
msiexec /[option] [path to Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi file] PROPERTY="Embedded White Space"
Incorrect syntax:
msiexec /[option] PROPERTY=VALUE [path to Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi file]

Multi-user installation
You can make the Outlook Add-in available to multiple users by assigning the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi distribution to their computers with a Group Policy. If you assign the program to a computer, it is installed when the computer starts, and is available to all users who log on to the computer. When a user first runs the program, the installation is completed.

This part describes how to use Group Policy to automatically distribute the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup package to users. You can use Group Policy to distribute the setups by using the following methods:
·Assigning Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi

The prerequisites must be checked and installed manually before the Add-in setup is launched. Missing prerequisite on the clients computer may interrupt the Archive Manager Outlook Addin Setup.msi distribution via GPO or Add-in functionality errors in Outlook. See the Troubleshooting section. |
