Silent install: use file/xml instead of parameters

I'm wondering if it is possible to perform silent installs where the public properties are passed in via an input file, instead of via the command line?
This allows set configuration parameters to be communicated more reliably and easily.
It also avoid annoyances such as needing to deal with propery values that aren't 'nice' on the command line (spaces, etc).

Thanks.

Hi,

Currently this is not supported by Advanced Installer. However, we have this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version. Until then, you can try using a custom action which reads the custom file.

Okay - thanks for the swift reply.
Is your TODO list/roadmap publicly available, with planned ETA's?

Cheers,

No, I'm afraid it's an internal issue tracking system.
