Using this powershell script, we could able to install any software (msi package) in silent mode from any accessible source. I.e. You can install an application from any shared location like sysvol directory

it will not ask you any input during the installation so it would be finished and logged the output.

If you want to install on many remote servers, you can user invoke-command instead with the proper access.

$path=split-path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.path
$spath= "$path\setup.x64.msi"
If($global:availability -eq $null)
{
"1. Local Administrator software is not installed in this computer"
If(Test-Path $spath)
{
"2. MSI file is accessible from the directory "
$status=Start-Process -FilePath msiexec.exe -ArgumentList '/i',$spath,'/q' -Wait -PassThru -Verb "RunAs"
If($?)
{
checksoftware
"3. $($Global:availability.DisplayName)--$($Global:availability.DisplayVersion) has been installed"
}
else{"3. Unable to install the software"}
}
Else
{
"2. Unable to access the MSI file form directory"
}
}
Else
{
"1. Local Administrator software is already existing"
}

I tried below command and it worked
Start-Process msiexec.exe -Wait -ArgumentList '/i "C:\Users\abc.xuz\Downloads\Firefox Setup 14.0.1.msi" /q /le "C:\Users\abc.xuz\Downloads\Firefox.log"'
