Thread asblinst.exe in an MSI

Does asblinst.exe use MSI, or is it a standalone EXE?
Can it be told to operate completely silently?
If I run it again for an update install, will that cause problems, or
would it just repeat things and ensure they are right?

I'll be playing with all this soon, but assurance would be nice.

Thanks,

Matthew

It's a standalone .exe:

Thanks, I'd seen that. EXE's can embed MSI's though, and MSI's need
care chaining, hence me asking.

The best thing though is that I took my .Net output, popped it into a
fresh VM, copied the ElevateDB files into the expected location, and it
just worked. No need to run the installer or anything. I have now to
work out how to get that all automated - I don't want the installer to
wipe an existing database, but that's simple now I know it works
without fuss.

Thanks, Matthew
