Hi there, I tried appending the parameter to the ApplicationFile but it doesnt work since it assumes that to be as the File Name.
Is it possible to pass any arguements from Bootstrapper to the EXE called? I am tried many but couldn make it. Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Try appending it to @ApplicationFile ApplicationFile="Install.exe INSTALLFILE" I suspect though that it will not work. Why not make your Install.exe load the parameter from a config file?
