Parsing Argument Parameter to MSI Chain

Hello,

I have an AdvancedInstaller project with multiple MSI chained. One of the various MSI chains requires me to parse an argument parameter during a silent installation. for example, using msi.exec, msiexec.exe /i "MyMSI.msi" VARIABLE_A="XX" VARIABLE_B="XXX".

I'd want to know how I can parse this argument parameter inside the MSI chain within the advanced installer?

Thank you

Re: Parsing Argument Parameter to MSI Chain

Hello and welcome to our forums,

I'm afraid I do not quite understand your request here.

If possible, could you please give me some more details?

Do you need to parse that argument before installing the chained MSI package?

If so, what is the criteria of parsing it?

Most likely, we will need a custom action to do the parsing for us.

Best regards,
Catalin
