They work for me without requiring silent mode.
However, this might be down to the way I use the variables.
Rather than assigning them a default value, I check for them being defined like so:
if Variable MYVAR is Defined
... use the command line variable
else
... do something else
end
I can then simply call with a command line parameter to set the variable:
Setup.exe MYVAR=TRUE
How do you get around the "VARIABLE NOT DEFINED" on compile?

Spot on! This was just what I was looking for, thanks Obliterator!
Now for the big question.. How to pass parameters when running in debug mode via the IDE...??

Dear User,
if you need to verify if a variable is assigned correctly when passed from command line, you can also use a MessageBox at runtime to display its value.
