I'm trying to perform a simple command line install for Windows Universal Forwarder (UF) and can't seem to get the install to work. All I want is a basic quiet install that points the UF to our deployment server in order to receive the rest of the configurations. The command line I have used is:
**msiexec.exe /i splunkforwarder-6.4.2-00f5bb3fa822-x64-release.msi AGREETOLICENSE="YES" DEPLOYMENT_SERVER=":8089" /quiet**
The command executes but completes immediately. It was run as admin on the system. I also set logging for the command and received the following:

I can install the UF fine without using the command line but I would like to include this in a package to perform the install remotely and quietly. Any help is greatly appreciated.
