Replace Deploy.exe?

Are the following equivalent?

MSIEXEC /i Acad.msi TRANSFORMS=my_install.mst
deploy "my_install"

The people who manage installs on our network always want to do things their own way.

Yep. I've had customers that like to do installs the command line way. That'll no doubt work.

More info for anyone who is interested. Deploy.exe does more than run the main msi, it also starts a number of other installs. To completely replicate what Deploy is doing you must take a look at the INI file (my_install.ini).

For example, this is what I am doing with 2007, executed via a VB script.

msi\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /quiet /norestart
support\dotnetfx\dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"install /l /qb"
support\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe /silent
support\mdac_typ.exe /q:a /c:"setup.exe /qnt"
msiexec /i support\aev\SetupDWFViewer.msi REBOOTPROMPT=S /qb!
msiexec /i support\flash\InstallFlashPlayer9ActiveX.msi REBOOTPROMPT=S /qb!
msiexec /i acad.msi TRANSFORMS=my_install.mst REBOOT=Suppress /qb-
