I need now to pass a parameter along with the exe. Eg: Install.exe INSTALL where INSTALL is the parameter. Is this is possible? Any help is greatly appreciated. Below is the code for the Bootstrapper which i am using to call the exe <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> <ItemGroup> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0"> <ProductName>Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1 "> <ProductName>Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1 </ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="Bootstrapper"> <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="Install.exe" ApplicationName="ApplicationTest" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" OutputPath=".\" ComponentsLocation="HomeSite" Culture="en" /> </Target> </Project> Thanks Prabhakaran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
