Because there are many options to configure via the command line install, we have created a PowerShell Script to use as a ‘wrapper’ for the MSI Install.
You find the script at:
Modify the script to enable the parameters you would like to define. The parameters are defined in .
The install can be configured through the following basic commands:

POWERSHELLSCRIPTIMAGES_PATH

A value of 62 (2+4+8+16+32=62) gives you all but BootRequest and RunCmdLineWinPE. Therefore
for iPXE and StifleR Integration you would have to set it to a minimum of; 2+4+8+16+32 = 62
