Default Adding msiexec options to an MSI

Hello, how can I add msiexec command line options to an MSI file,
using an editor like ORCA? I would like to add the "basic UI" option,
-qb-! (thanks to Torgier!). Which table contains these, or do I have
to add something? Thanks.

You can't. These are command line options, run at the discretion of
the person driving the install. If you want to have a cut down MSI
that shows no authored UI you can just get rid of the InstallUIExecute
sequence or remove any dialogs actions from it so it goes straight to
installexecutesequence when invoked.

Thanks! Before I tried this, I set up the MSI for software deployment
via GPO. I was pleasantly surprised to see Windows display a dialog
saying "Installing managed software" while the program was being
deployed. All of this happened before the login screen, and had no
way for the user to interact and mess it up.

I will keep your InstallUIExecute trick handy if needed. Thanks.
