[wix-users] can we pass custom property to a .bat file in the installer?

[Yan Wang]

Any instruction on how to do it? A simple sample would help me out... I am just a new to this software.



Thanks a lot!



Yan

Yes, I do it all the time.  You need to respect quoting rules with some values.



I've also used Octopus substitutions in PowerShell script to deploy MSI's and Burn Bundles in this manner.

Hi!



Wondering if we can pass custom parameters from msi to an bat file inside msi....



For example,  after we create package.msi, we can do this msiexec /i c:\path\to\package.msi /quiet /qn /norestart /log c:\path\to\install.log PROPERTY1=value1 PROPERTY2=value2



but values of PROPERTY1 and PREPERTY2 will pass to a .bat file as %1 and %2



Thanks a lot!



Yan
