I am trying to run an MSP silently and also without rebooting. I have:

msiexec /p "mypatch.msp" /s/v/qn

which basically means run the patch silently / no interaction. The /v I believe is supposed to be the switch to send the 'qn' parameters directly to msiexec. So, in order to tell msiexec to not restart, I would think that saying '/v/norestart' would work, however it does not (the command ends up being invalid and I get the msiexec usage/help dialog)

Is there a way to send multiple parameters to msiexec when installing a patch?

Silently and nointeraction is the same thing altho silently not exsist in msiexec options. /v is not working like you wrote, /qn alone is parameter same as /norestart

msiexec /p "mypatch.msp" /qn /norestart stands for patch quietly (non gui output)
