Installer Options
Users can select per-user/per-machine and features through the UI. Through CLI or SECM, users have additional options of not allowing updates and clean uninstalling all UNIFI files/directories/registry.
Microsoft does provide some default options which are listed on Microsoft’s website. One common option you will see used in examples is /passive or “default settings and progress bar only” UI install.
Features
Users installing UNIFI from the UI will be able to select ADVANCED and then choose which features they wish to have installed.
To install features using CLI, use ADDLOCAL arg in format ADDLOCAL=feature1,feature2,feature3
If this is a new installation, enter all the features that you want to be installed.
If you wish to add a feature to the same version which is not installed, run the same version of the installer and use ADDLOCAL, listing any new features wanted.

Per-User vs Per-Machine
Installer will run in Per-User context by default. The UI will allow users to go to ADVANCED to select if they wish to continue with per-user or per-machine (for per-user, omit the ALLUSERS argument from the command line).
CLI argument ALLUSERS=1 sets context to run in Per-Machine ContentCatalog.msi ALLUSERS=1 /passive
Auto Update
The default setting of a UNIFI installation will check for updates and auto-update UNIFI if there is one available. To set the shortcuts to not check for updates:
CLI argument ALLOWUPDATES=0 sets the shortcuts to not check for updates ContentCatalog.msi ALLOWUPDATES=0 /passive
Beta Features
UNIFI Version 4.0 has additional addin features for launching version 4.0 Beta from the addin as well as data location options. To enable beta features:
Supply the argument ENABLEBETA=1 (off is the default, and any value other than "1" will be considered "Off")
To set the Beta Region to use, supply the argument BETAREGION=<US/AU/UK/EU> (US is the default)
Clean Uninstall
Users may want to completely remove any UNIFI files, registry, remnants. To do this, the user must open a run with admin privileges and use Content Catalog’s UNINSTALL arg
Store to log.txt what UNIFI items are found and what it would remove. In other words, just test, don’t actually make any permanent changes.
ContentCatalog.msi /passive /l log.txt CLEANUNINSTALL=WHATIF
Run what was described in WhatIf and remove files, directories, registries that are related to UNIFI
ContentCatalog.msi /passive CLEANUNINSTALL=TRUE
