Issue/Introduction

If you install PowerCLI by using the command-line interface, all PowerCLI components are automatically installed.

Resolution

To install only the PowerCLI core component, you must use the INSTALLLEVEL property.
In the command-line prompt, navigate to the folder that contains the vSphere PowerCLI installer file you downloaded and use the following syntax.
VMware-PowerCLI-version_number-build_number.exe /S /V"INSTALLLEVEL=1 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn"
Note: The value of the INSTALLLEVEL property defines which components are installed. If you install the vCloud PowerCLI component, the PowerCLI core component is also installed.
