Custom command line arguments and silent installation

[Sergio.Calderon]

I have added a new dialog, created an EDIT BOX control, changed its name to VTUL_AGENT and everything was fine. So I wanted to run the silent installation passing the content of the EDIT BOX as parameter like this:

Code: Select all

vtulAgent.msi /qb VTUL_TOKEN=ABCDEF

However, it did not work at all. It just works when I don't pass the

Code: Select all

/exenoui. 

I also tried changing to an EXE installer, but got the same result.

What can I do to run the installation silently?

Thanks a lot!

Hello and welcome to our forums,

I have tested your scenario and everything worked as expected. The install was silent and the "Edit Box" was set to the value I specified in the command line. I have used a command line such as follows:

Code: Select all

msiexec /i "YourSetup.msi" /qb NAME_OF_YOUR_PROP=value

As a side note, I have noticed that you have set the name of your property to VTUL_AGENT and then you have used VTUL_TOKEN in the command line.

Let me know if this helps! If not, please give me more details about your scenario!
