Hi all,
is there any way to find out all possible msiexec switches for a given
MSI package?

Thanks for your hint, but I rather thought of finding out parameters
*specific* to a given MSI package than of generice msiexec switches that
can always be used.
Examples: Some installers have a PIDKEY property to specify a serial
number, ActivePerl installer has a property PERL_EXT to specify
registration of the .PL file extension.
Is there any way to find out switches like these?

This tool is fantastic, I have been using it for a while now and it has
saved me a lot of time.
