Bootstrapper exe and MSIEXEC parameters

Hello there,

I am the setup guy at my company and we use Advanced Installer (version 6.8) for our setup. I have a problem with startparameters that I hope you can help me with.
We are currently building the setup as an msi file inside an exe. Everything is working fine, but the problem is the administrative setup: I can start it with "setup.exe -a //", as it is documented in the AI help, but that's not quite what our admin would like to see. He wants to be able to leave out the slashes, i.e. to start administrative setup with just "setup.exe -a" - mainly because it works that way with the setup of our partner company's software.

Is there any way I can do this, or will he have to live with "//"?

Thank you in advance,

-Chris

Hello Chris,

I have consulted with the team regarding your issue and unfortunately there is no way around adding the two slashes.

I already assumed that this was the case, but thank you for clarification.
