Network Install

In most cases, executing the Windows Engine installation MSI across a network from a shared location works with no issues. If there are problems due to network speed, the contents of the MSI can be expanded into a network share and the installer runs from the network location. The MSI is expanded into a network share by performing an administrative install by adding the /a switch to the above msiexec command.

During the interactive portion of the administrative install, provide a directory into which the unpacked MSI is stored (the network share from which users install). Users then run the new DSEngineInstall.msi from that location (which is smaller than the original) either interactively, or by using the unattended command line parameters.
