I'm looking for a way to access the add/remove program applet through the command line so I can automate my installs of msi packages on a terminal server in application mode.
 
You can use control.exe to open control apnels from the command line. For example, to open appwiz (add/remove) type:
control c:\winnt\system32\appwiz.cpl

Thanks that helps. I ran it and it opens the add/remove applet (and now I know how to access all the control panel applets). I'm looking to automate the install process so I need to go one more step....a command that will allow me to run the add programs applet inside the add remove programs applet.
