How do I install the msi file from a batch file silently?

Is it possible to silently install Windows Defender? What are some other
CLPs for Windows Defender?
 
msiexec /i windowsdefender.msi /quiet /log install.log
installs, but not completely quietly--the UI pops at the end, and a
definition update cycle is initiated.

msiexec /uninstall windowsdefender.msi /quiet /log uninstall.log

works, and is silent.
 
Bill,

couldn't you just use group policy through scripts and install with just the
msi file? i.e. windowsdefender.msi /qn
 
Having never done that, I can't speak for what is possible. I've tested the
commands I posted in the local cmd prompt environment, and they work--I
assume they would work in a script as well.
