Trouble with Command Line parameters...

Hi,

We created an setup file with 2 parameters (we are using a bootstripper with MSI included).

HOSTNAME and LANGUAGECODE.

It works very well while using the MSI directly but while using the "exe" generated by AI we got an error if we use "HTTP://" (any string starting like that) for the hostname parameter.

For instance:

MySetup.exe /quiet LANGUAGECODE="en-US" - WORKS
MySetup.exe LANGUAGECODE="en-US" - WORKS
MySetup.exe LANGUAGECODE="en-US" HOSTNAME="xx" - WORKS
MySetup.exe LANGUAGECODE="en-US" HOSTNAME="www.microsoft.com" - WORKS
MySetup.exe LANGUAGECODE="en-US" HOSTNAME="http://www.microsoft.com" - DOES NOT WORKS... (But it is ok with the MSI directly)

It seems that the command line parameters are not parsed correctly by the bootstrippers before to foward them to the MSI command line...
