Description

Feature Idea

Optionally Specify msiexec options

For some people I would think it would be nice to specify an optional list of msiec parameters that get passed into the install command. A good example of this might be specifying /norestart so that machine isn't forced to restart after the install occurs (seems bad for production). Another example might be adding an MSI log file with debug info to troubleshoot issues. These are just some ideas of practical uses. Just wanted to see if it made sense before I submitted actual code for something that will never get merged.
