Salesforce for Outlook (SFO) silent installation

SFO MSI deployment, installations, and uninstallations are out of the scope of Salesforce Support and should be performed by a knowledgeable IT resource.

This article is provided as a reference point on the available options with our SFO MSI installer only and is not meant as a comprehensive guide on deployment or silent installations.


*** PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS ARTICLE AS A WORKAROUND FOR ANY FAILED INSTALLATION ***
A failed Salesforce For Outlook installation using the .EXE or MSI files could be related to various reasons that may exist on the computer.

Salesforce for Outlook (SFO) .MSI Installation either manually or by automation method

Requirements: Prerequisites are needed before installing SFO.

The following 4 prerequisites must be installed with a local admin or a system account. They're installed automatically when you use the .EXE format of the SFO installer.
 
As of July 2017, all users must be on SFO version 3.0 or higher. If you have any users with an older version installed, please note that SFO versions between 2.5.x and 2.7.x are installed as Per-User and NOT Per-Machine. If you plan on upgrading to the latest version, then make sure to manually uninstall the installed version first (Each end user must login to Windows and uninstall it from the Control Panel and log off) and then Local Administrator or Local IT can deploy the latest version of SFO for everyone using the Per Machine option.

See the Set Up Salesforce for Outlook on Your Desktop for more information. Any older version of SFO Per User installation cannot be uninstalled or installed using the System account.
  • VSTO - Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime 2010
    Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office system (Version 4.0 Runtime) This only installs the bitness matching your Operating System. If you have Windows 7 64bit, then you only need to push out or install the 64bit MSI. The downloaded file is in the .EXE format and you can use the /Extract switch to get the MSI version.
     
  • PIA - Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) redistributable package for your version of Microsoft Outlook. This is already packaged with our SFO .EXE version and your can extract it. The PIA is only needed if you have Outlook 2007 or 2010. If you have Office 2013 or 2016, you do not need to install the PIA since it is already included in the Office installation as part of .NET programmability feature of MS Outlook (See step 6 in our Help Documentation). For Office click-to-run or Office 365 versions, you may need to run an Online Repair to make sure this feature is installed.

How to use the /Extract switch
1. Click on Start and type in CMD.
2. After you see the CMD in the application list, right-click on it and click on Run as Administrator.
3. In the Command Prompt, navigate to the directory that contains the executable file (the .exe) such as SalesforceForOutlook.exe or vstor_redist.exe (VSTO downloaded file) and use the command below:
SalesforceforOutlook.exe /extract

Example:
1. Lets assume you have downloaded the VSTO  - vstor_redist.exe file in the c:\setup folder
2. In the Command Prompt type in CD \setup  and press Enter
3. Then the prompt should change to the new location that contains the vstor_redist.exe file
4. Type in vstor_redist.exe /Extract and press enter
5. A window will pop up and will show you the extraction process.
6. Open that folder and you should see many files and folders there, including the MSI version of the VSTO.


To perform a silent install via the command line for the SFO .msi installer the following command should be entered:

"msiexec /quiet /qn /i SalesforceForOutlook.msi /L*v install.log"  This one will also generate logs

msiexec /i "SalesforceForOutlook.msi" /quiet also works for quiet install.
