its like this..i have added vcredist as a prerequisite and created a exe. running this exe first launch the vcredist installation and the proceed with the main MSI installation.
therefore i need to find a way to pass prarameter to exe which in turn can be passed to MSI

Assuming you've created the .exe with WiseScript, it's pretty straight forward to pick up command line arguements and pass them to your internal msiexec command line...
Sounds like hard work to me though, why not just use a cmd or vbs to chain the installations together?

in the wise script you can capture the commandline using
CMDLINE Variable
If you use setup.exe /QB!
and in the wise script
you can use MSIEXEC /i msinams.msi CMDLINE
CMDLINE Variable

and in the wise script
you can use MSIEXEC /i msinams.msi CMDLINE
