1.1. Standard Installer Options

  • /qn (quiet, no UI) suppresses the HDP Setup Window. Use /qb (quiet basic) to suppress the HDP Setup and show a progress bar.

  • /lv log_file (log verbose) creates a verbose installation log with the name you specified. If only a file name is provided, the installation log file is created in the directory where msiexec was launched.

  • /i msi_file points to the HDP Installer file. We recommend specifying the absolute path.

  • MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION=1 ensures that the user running the installer has true administrator permissions.

For more information about standard msiexec options, enter msiexec /? in a command prompt.
