C:\>msiexec /update C:\sym-7.3.2.0-egocore-4.0.0.0_build602162.msp /l*v updateSym.log /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus

The command syntax is as follows:

C:\>msiexec /update sym_package_name_path /l*v sym_install_log /norestart /quiet REINSTALLMODE=omus

where:

o sym_package_name_path is the fully qualified file name to the .msp package.
