The specified Feature name ('BlastProtocol') not found in Feature table' (Screenshot can be found here: ) The list includes all of the features that say they are enabled by default in the last column and also includes USB, ScannerRedirection, and PerfTracker so my list ended up being (Just to be 100% sure it wasn't a possible issue with List order all of these features are listed here and in my command, in the order, they appear in VMware's documentation):Įvery aspect of my command runs flawlessly UNTIL I add the ADDLOCAL parameter at which point I get an error when the program is not run silently that says 'Error 2711.

so for example:ĪDDLOCAL=Core,BlastUDP,USB will ONLY install those 3 features and none of the others.ĪDDLOCAL=ALL will install ALL features, defaults, and ones disabled by default.Īccording to VMware's documentation in the table found towards the bottom of the page titled ' Horizon Agent Silent Installation Options and Interactive Custom Setup Options' found at I put together a list of features that I want to be installed and enabled by default. According to VMware's documentation for silent installs unless you use the value of 'ALL' for the Parameter 'ADDLOCAL' it will only install the features you tell it to, meaning you need to specify each feature you want to be installed and can't just say any features you want to be enabled besides the defaults.
