Command Line Args
Hi,
I m using Wise Installation Editor for creating msi packages. I would like the msi to respond thru command line arguments like ALLUSERS and INSTALLDIR. But how do i do this. There is no article abt how to achieve this in wise. Any help?

Take a verbose log of the install. That will show you what the properties were resolved to.

What do you mean by "respond"? The Wise editor won't "respond" to arguments because it isn't meant to. MSIExec - which executes the MSI at run-time, is what "responds" to command line arguments. If you want to change ALLUSERS, INSTALLDIR or other public properties, use the editor to change them.

In order to pass paramaters on the command line you need to create public properties - these are entries in the property table which much be completely upper case.. more info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370912(VS.85).aspx

VBScab,
Sorry, i meant msiexec to run the msi package through cmd prompt and also passed params to change it during run time. but the app installs in the default location only.

OK, so now you can see the importance of phrasing your questions properly. Also, you now know that MSIExec is nothing to do with Wise per se.
So....Did you specify a drive other than C: in INSTALLDIR? If so, did you also specify that drive in ROOTDRIVE?
