AUTOMATING MERGE INSTALLATION
https://www.araxis.com/merge/documentation-windows/installing.en

The /qb argument to msiexec means ‘quick, basic UI’, and performs a quiet, non-interactive install without displaying the usual setup wizard.

The /i argument introduces the .msi package filename.

The msiexec command supports a number of other options. Help is available by invoking it with the /? argument.

If you run the msiexec command as an administrator (e.g. from a command-prompt opened with Run as administrator), you will not be prompted with the Windows User Account Control (UAC) confirmation dialog.

Pre-populating the Windows Registry with a serial number and the licensed user

Rather than requiring each user to enter a serial number into Merge when it is run for the first time, it is possible to pre-populate the serial number and licensed user directly into the Windows Registry. This can be particularly useful when installing Merge on multiple machines.
For a particular Windows user account, the serial number can be added to the Windows Registry as the SerialNumber string (REG_SZ) value, under the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Araxis\Merge\7.0
You will need to create this Registry key if it does not already exist.
If you would like to make Merge work with all user accounts on a particular machine, you can instead pre-populate the SerialNumber string value under the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Araxis\Merge\7.0

Again, you will need to create this Registry key if it does not already exist.
You may also wish to pre-populate the Windows Registry with the LicensedUser string value, alongside SerialNumber. If present, the LicensedUser string is used to provide the Registered to information in the 
Merge About dialog.
Information When installing on multiple machines, you may wish to provide your organization’s name as the LicensedUser.
