+Customizing the Windows installation
+------------------------------------
+
+If you just want to install ownCloud Desktop Synchronization Client on your local
+system, you can simply launch the .msi file and configure it in the wizard
+that pops up.
+
+Features
+^^^^^^^^
+
+The MSI installer provides several features that can be installed or removed
+individually, which you can also control via command-line, if you are automating
+the installation::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi
+
+will install the ownCloud Desktop Synchronization Client into the default location
+with the default features enabled. If you want to disable, e.g., desktop shortcut
+icons you can simply change the above command to::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi REMOVE=DesktopShortcut
+
+See the following table for a list of available features:
+
++--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+---------------------------+
+| Feature | Enabled by default | Description |Property to disable |
++====================+====================+==================================+===========================+
+| Client | Yes, required | The actual client | |
++--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+---------------------------+
+| DesktopShortcut | Yes | Adds a shortcut to the desktop |``NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT`` |
++--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+---------------------------+
+| StartMenuShortcuts | Yes | Adds shortcuts to the start menu |``NO_START_MENU_SHORTCUTS``|
++--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+---------------------------+
+| ShellExtensions | Yes | Adds Explorer integration |``NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS`` |
++--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+---------------------------+
+
+Installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can also choose to only install the client itself by using the following command::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi ADDDEFAULT=Client
+
+If you for instance want to install everything but the ``DesktopShortcut`` and the ``ShellExtensions`` feature, you have two possibilities:
+
+1. You explicitly name all the features you actually want to install (whitelist) where `Client` is always installed anyway::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi ADDDEFAULT=StartMenuShortcuts
+
+2. You pass the `NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT` and `NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS` properties::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT="1" NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS="1"
+
+.. NOTE::
+The ownCloud .msi remembers these properties, so you don't need to specify them on upgrades.
+
+.. NOTE::
+You cannot use these to change the installed features, if you want to do that, see the next section.
+
+Changing installed features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can change the installed features later by using `REMOVE` and `ADDDEFAULT` properties.
+
+1. If you want to add the the desktop shortcut later::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi ADDDEFAULT="DesktopShortcut"
+
+2. If you want to remove it, simply do::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi REMOVE="DesktopShortcut"
+
+Windows keeps track of the installed features and using `REMOVE` or `ADDDEFAULT` will only affect the mentioned features.
+
+Compare `REMOVE <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371194(v=vs.85).aspx>`_
+and `ADDDEFAULT <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367518(v=vs.85).aspx>`_
+on the Windows Installer Guide.
+
+.. NOTE::
+You cannot specify `REMOVE` on initial installation as it will disable all features.
+
+Installation folder
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can adjust the installation folder by specifying the `INSTALLDIR`
+property like this::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Non Standard ownCloud Client Folder"
+
+Be careful when using PowerShell instead of `cmd.exe`, it can be tricky to get
+the whitespace escaping right there. Specifying the `INSTALLDIR` like this
+only works on first installation, you cannot simply reinvoke the .msi with a
+different path. If you still need to change it, uninstall it first and reinstall
+it with the new path.
+
+Disabling automatic updates
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+To disable automatic updates, you can pass the `SKIPAUTOUPDATE` property.::
+
+ msiexec /passive /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi SKIPAUTOUPDATE="1"
+
+Launch after installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To launch the client automatically after installation, you can pass the `LAUNCH` property.::
+
+ msiexec /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi LAUNCH="1"
+
+This option also removes the checkbox to let users decide if they want to launch the client
+for non passive/quiet mode.
+
+.. NOTE::
+This option does not have any effect without GUI.
+
+No reboot after installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ownCloud Client schedules a reboot after installation to make sure the Explorer extension is correctly (un)loaded.
+If you're taking care of the reboot yourself, you can set the `REBOOT` property::
+
+ msiexec /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress
+
+This will make `msiexec` exit with error `ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED` (3010).
+If your deployment tooling interprets this as an actual error and you want to avoid that, you may want to set the `DO_NOT_SCHEDULE_REBOOT` instead::
+
+ msiexec /i ownCloud-x.y.z.msi DO_NOT_SCHEDULE_REBOOT="1"
+
