[wix-users] Passing multiple parameters to the target file Argument attribute in ProgId

Here is what I do: Argument="/program "%1""

You have quotations around parameter1string which is affecting things.  Also there needs to be double quotes around %1.  You need to escape it to satisfy xml.

Subject: [wix-users] Passing multiple parameters to the target file Argument attribute in ProgId

Hi,

I'm adding a file association in my installer using ProgId.

I need to pass 2 arguments to the target file  (through Argument), see as follows:

<ProgId Id="FileAssociation" Description="My file>

   <Extension Id="myfile" ContentType="myfile">

       <Verb Id="open" Command="Open" TargetProperty="MyApp.exe" Argument="'parameter1string' %1"/>

   </Extension>

</ProgId>

The first parameter I want to pass is 'parameter1string'
The second parameter is the name of the file.

This is not working this way obviously,
How do I do that?

Any thought?

-Shelly
