executing a program from the setup

[vamsi]

I want to execute an exe with some command line options . my exe is in windows system directory and takes command line option /i
along with command line parameter ( which is a file) . I tried the following in shell operation->Execute program


Target = %SysDir%\msiexec.exe

command line arguments ="/i %AppDir%\xyz.msi"

this seems to not work. when I tried the same on commandline it fails. the following is the command that has to be given to make it work.

msiexec.exe /i "c:\program files\xyx\xyz.msi"

Can any one please tell me how can I achieve the same ( I want /i option on the command line along with the file option) using Shell Operation.

thanx in Advance

Re: executing a program from the setup

Did you put quotes around the path in the arguments? Like so:

/i "%AppDir%\xyz.msi"
