MSI parameter driven

clipped from blogs.msdn.com

Adding msi parameters in Visual Studio Setup Project



I can’t find how and where to add the parameter list of the msi.

I had to modify a setup project of which creates an msi for an application.

During modification I had to add an extra parameter that should be given to the msi during installation.

While I searched I found only how to read the parameters supplied from command line using Context.Parameters.

But I can’t find at any place where to specify the parameters those can be supplied with msi. Finally I found it and so I am writing here as it may be useful to others.

In property Pages of Install, in the option CustomEvents, we can specify the arguments.

 

For example if for our msi, we have to add 2 parameters INSTLOG & X

Then in the CustomEvents, we have to specify it as:

            /INSTLOG=”[INSTLOG]” /X=”[X]”
