Pass parameters to .exes

trak77 · 11th July 2007, 12:36

Hi All,

I want to write a very basic install script that runs several .exes in complete silent mode. The .exes have OK buttons that must be prompted and text boxes that must be filled in.

I've figured out how to enable silent mode but passing parameters to the .exes is not so clear.

Thanks in advance for pointers.

Provided that you know the right parameters for each exe that you want to execute, e.g,
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\command.exe" parameters'
