through setup.exe will still require the "/v" command line option in order to pass the property override
value on to the MSI service.
The following table documents the supported global property overrides.
Unless noted otherwise, all property values are in UPPERCASE.

The value of the ADDLOCAL property is a list of features that are
delimited by commas, and are to be installed locally.
To install all features locally (including the speech files), use
ADDLOCAL=ALL on the command line.
The value of the ADVERTISE property is a list of features delimited by
commas that are to be advertised.
To install all features as advertised, use ADVERTISE=ALL on the
command line.
The ADVERTISE option overrides the ADDLOCAL option.
The best method for specifying a custom installation is to set the
ADDLOCAL property to ALL and then specify the ADVERTISE
property to match those features you don't want installed locally. A
list of the features that may be set for installation is listed below.
The serial number, in the form of "abcde-fgh-hij-klmo-pqrst-uv".
A serial number is required for all installations. If one is not already
built into the ereg.ini file, then a valid one must be specified on the
command line.
Note: Specifying a serial number on the command line does not
bypass the serial number checking within setup.
The default installation directory.
Long path names need to have their quote strings "escaped" (\"). If
you do not use this option, NaturallySpeaking is installed to the
defualt directory: [PROGRAMFILES]\ScanSoft\NaturallySpeaking8.
If you are upgrading from a previous version, you must set
INSTALLDIR to that versions installation directory.
