How to install Node.js in a user folder quietly on Windows?

Question

I am creating a script to automatically install my entire dev stack on Windows.

I have a problem with Node.js

What is on the command line to install node -v0.10.23-x64.msi in C: \ Tools ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I found him.

This is the correct way to install Node.js on Windows in an unencrypted directory.

msiexec.exe /i node-v0.10.23-x64.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Tools\NodeJS" /quiet 

Answer 2

 msiexec.exe /i node-v0.10.23-x64.msi /qn 

• /i means normal installation
• /qn means no user interface

I don't know how to set the destination, you can read the documentation here and check if this supports the msi protocol:

Answer 3

This will make an accurate installation, as it is done manually from the user interface.

 msiexec /i node-v6.11.2-x64.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\nodejs\" ADDLOCAL="NodePerfCtrSupport,NodeEtwSupport,DocumentationShortcuts,EnvironmentPathNode,EnvironmentPathNpmModules,npm,NodeRuntime,EnvironmentPath" /qn
