[Description]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h4oQL2xmQu2SR-8JAZiimJoWAnbJYe29Zwk8H3YN9RA/edit# /q, /quiet, and /passive Sets the UI mode. The full UI option (/qf) is accepted but ignored, because we have no full UI. [Affected platforms]: -Windows 7(32x/64x) - No UAC permission is required -Windows 8.1(32x/64x) -Windows 10(32x/64x) [Steps to reproduce]: 1. Download an Firefox wrapped MSI. 2. With UAC on High Use the msiexec /quiet parameter to install Firefox. 3. Press "No" when the UAC permission dialog pop-us. [Expected result]: (firefox is not installed) The installer aborts with failure message in the install.log [Actual result]: (firefox is not installed) Windows 8.1 : after the first "No" selected, the dialog is shown again. Windows 10: after the first "No" selected, the installation is aborted. Windows 7: No UAC permission is required The install log lists: MSI (s) (04:6C) [13:37:48:676]: Product: Mozilla Firefox 65.0a1 x64 en-CA -- Installation completed successfully. MSI (s) (04:6C) [13:37:48:676]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Mozilla Firefox 65.0a1 x64 en-CA. Product Version: 0.0.0.0. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: Mozilla. Installation success or error status: 0. For the above steps (selecting "No" for UAC permission pop-up in the case of /i install) the install log shows: MSI (c) (CC:10) [13:36:56:427]: Product: Mozilla Firefox 65.0a1 x64 en-CA -- Installation failed. MSI (c) (CC:10) [13:36:56:427]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Mozilla Firefox 65.0a1 x64 en-CA. Product Version: 0.0.0.0. Product Language: 0. Manufacturer: Mozilla. Installation success or error status: 1602.

[Note:] For Windows 7, no UAC permission pop-up is displayed for the /quiet option. For normal /i install it shows the UAC permission pop-up.

This is closely related to bug 1505462; it's a similar situation to what I talked about over there where in silent mode the installer assumes the user knows what they're doing and won't report a failure even if things go really very wrong (as they will if you cancel the UAC prompt and haven't set a custom install path). We should probably start reporting that failure via an exit code from the full installer, although I don't really know if there would be any indication visible to the user of the MSI even then.
