Component Tree Cmd line parameters.

[Beninja]

I have an installer that uses the component tree. I also am running it silently most of the time from a .cmd file with custom parameters. I am wondering, is there is a way to change which components are installed by changing a variable or entering a cmd?

Thanks,
Ben

Dear Ben,

InstallAware permits a fully customization of command line parameters, so of course it is possible.

On our forum there are many topics about this.

Anyway, you can use a custom variable in your project that is initialized passing it from command line.

Example:

Code: Select all

Set Variable MY_VAR to $MY_VAR$

If you place the above code line at the very beginning of your script and you run your setup package as:
setup.exe MY_VAR=VALUE
your variable will initialized as VALUE.

Then in your script you can conditionally check that variable to do what you prefer.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
