Installer Options

Users can select per-user/per-machine and features through the UI. Through CLI or SECM, users have additional options of not allowing updates and clean uninstalling all UNIFI files/directories/registry.

Microsoft does provide some default options which are listed on Microsoft’s website. One common option you will see used in examples is /passive or “default settings and progress bar only” UI install.

Features

Users installing UNIFI from the UI will be able to select ADVANCED and then choose which features they wish to have installed.

To install features using CLI, use ADDLOCAL arg in format ADDLOCAL=feature1,feature2,feature3

If this is a new installation, enter all the features that you want to be installed.
If you wish to add a feature to the same version which is not installed, run the same version of the installer and use ADDLOCAL, listing any new features wanted.

Per-User vs Per-Machine

Installer will run in Per-User context by default. The UI will allow users to go to ADVANCED to select if they wish to continue with per-user or per-machine (for per-user, omit the ALLUSERS argument from the command line).

CLI argument ALLUSERS=1 sets context to run in Per-Machine UNIFI.msi ALLUSERS=1 /passive

Auto Update

The default setting of a UNIFI installation will check for updates and auto-update UNIFI if there is one available. To set the shortcuts to not check for updates:

CLI argument ALLOWUPDATES=0 sets the shortcuts to not check for updates UNIFI.msi ALLOWUPDATES=0 /passive

Clean Uninstall

Users may want to completely remove any UNIFI files, registry, remnants. To do this, the user must open a run with admin privileges and use UNIFI’s UNINSTALL arg

Store to log.txt what UNIFI items are found and what it would remove. In other words, just test, don’t actually make any permanent changes.

UNIFI.msi /passive /l log.txt CLEANUNINSTALL=WHATIF

Run what was described in WhatIf and remove files, directories, registries that are related to UNIFI

UNIFI.msi /passive CLEANUNINSTALL=TRUE
