How to install MSI installer with switch

[marsL]

How I can install example.msi with example.xml ?

I tried a following command, but there is a problem with quotes

Run("msiexec.exe /i example.msi /qb /norestart AdminCFG=example.xml")

but the result is

msiexec.exe /i example.msi /qb /norestart AdminCFG=example.xml

It should be:

msiexec.exe /i "example.msi" /qb /norestart AdminCFG="example.xml"

P.S.

Ups, I think I found right way

Run("msiexec.exe /i ""example.msi"" /qb /norestart AdminCFG=""example.xml""")

Hi,

a) double them ""

'" one ' and then " to surround the whole stuff

c) try using shellexecute

Or you could use single quotes around double quotes.

Run('msiexec.exe /i "example.msi" /qb /norestart AdminCFG="example.xml"')

OK, thanks, but what should be a command to create shortcut with switch?

This

FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir&"\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe /w",@DesktopDir&"\Nero Express.lnk",@ProgramFilesDir&"\Nero\Nero Burning ROM","","Nero Express",@ProgramFilesDir&"\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe","","1",@SW_MINIMIZE)

... create shortcut with wrong switch

once againt, it should be:

"C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe" /w

Try

FileCreateShortcut('"' & @ProgramFilesDir& '\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe" /w',@DesktopDir&"\Nero Express.lnk",@ProgramFilesDir&"\Nero\Nero Burning ROM","","Nero Express",@ProgramFilesDir&"\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe","","1",@SW_MINIMIZE)

Target's box say:

"C:\"C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe" \w"

Sorry about that, didn't look at it close enough. You need the to put the /w in the args parameter.

Try this:

FileCreateShortcut(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe", @DesktopDir & "\Nero Express.lnk", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Nero\Nero Burning ROM", "/w", "Nero Express", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Nero\Nero Burning ROM\nero.exe", "", "1", @SW_MINIMIZE)
