This article relates to our product Cloud Drive Mapper.
If you're already familiar with Cloud Drive Mapper, you'll know that much of the configuration can be done using Registry settings.
However editing/updating local registry can in some cases be difficult to orchestrate. From version 2.9 upwards of Cloud Drive Mapper we have moved to a new installer that supports the inclusion of custom parameters in the MSI. These mostly mirror the same settings that can be modified via registry. You can still edit through registry if you prefer, but this new capability now gives you a choice.
Please note that the custom MSI parameters will add the settings to the HKLM. Cloud Drive Mapper can read from either the HKLM or HKCU and will preference the HKCU. This means that you could in theory do a full deployment using the custom MSI parameters, which applies to the HKLM, and then you could subsequently apply a custom policy to the HKCU which will act as an override for the users who receive the policy.
List of custom parameters
Please note while registry information is not case sensitive, the MSI parameters need to be ALL CAPS. Please also take note of the property types

Common msiexec parameters
full UI: /qf (this is the default parameter used by the package)
msiexec /i "C:\Users\person\Downloads\setupcdmx64.msi" /qf
reduced UI: /qr (the user interface does not show any wizard dialogs)
msiexec /i "C:\Users\person\Downloads\setupcdmx64.msi" /qr
basic UI: /qb, /passive (only a progress bar will be shown during the installation)
msiexec /i "C:\Users\person\Downloads\setupcdmx64.msi" /qb
no UI: /qn, /quiet (no UI will be showed during the installation)
msiexec /i "C:\Users\person\Downloads\setupcdmx64.msi" /qn
Sample msiexec parameters for CDM
Here is an example of using msiexec parameters to configure CDM.
You want CDM to write to the Windows Event log, and to allow a user to change their language. In MASTERSETTINGS these are the options 128 WriteLogToEventLog and 16384 AllowUsersLanguageSelection. To set MASTERSETTINGS bitmask this number is the 2 options added together. So the setting is 16512.
The installer command for this will be
msiexec /i "C:\user\downloads\setupcdmx64.msi" /qn MASTERSETTINGS=16512
Additionally if you want to specify your licence key as well as setting the parameters above you can simply add the LICENCEKEY parameter to the installer command
msiexec /i "C:\user\downloads\setupcdmx64.msi" /qn MASTERSETTINGS=16512 LICENCEKEY=insert_licence_key_here
