Question

How do you make a shortcut from the windows command prompt?

Answer

However, the user interface sequence should not make any changes to the system. One reason is that a user can install an MSI package in quiet mode, bypassing this phase entirely, by running the msiexec.exe command-line utility with the /qn (or /qb or /qr) option and specifying on the command line all the information that the wizard would normally gather. Therefore, any actions that occur in the user interface sequence will not be performed during a silent installation.
