group policy problems

Hello

I am having ENORMOUS problems with group policy wizard and CMDLINE

This is my code:
Convert Variable CMDLINE to UPPER case
if Variable CMDLINE Contains SERVER
Set Variable SERVER_SETTINGS_FILE_DIR to $SERVER$
MessageBox: , CMD: $cmdline$$NEWLINE$$NEWLINE$DIR: $SERVER_SETTINGS_FILE_DIR$$NEWLINE$$NEWLINE$
end

I run from the exe file with properties:
E:\\CODE\\delphi7\\smpV5\\shipV51\\installAware\\Release\\Single\\setup_stopmotionpro.exe SERVER=d:\\aaThe messagebox displays $SERVER_SETTINGS_FILE_DIR$ = d:\\aaThis is what I expect

I then use the Group wizard to create the MSI and set the CMDLINE=SERVER=d:\\aa\
The messagebox displays $SERVER_SETTINGS_FILE_DIR$ = $SERVER$

Please advise how I get he MSI to transfer the actual data assigned to the SERVER variable

A pdf with screen grabs is attached

I sent this issue to support@installware last week and received no response - VERY dissapointing

Regards

ross

Hi Ross,

Apologies for not receiving a response from the general support address; I suspect your e-mail may have gone astray.

I'll investigate this issue as soon as possible, however, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with your logic.

Have you tried setting your variables directly via the command line?
