[WiX-users] WiX Burn Command Line Options
I have a Burn setup package, using a custom WPF interface.I need to pass some arguments using command line: For example I want to set to 10 the value for the variable option and run the setup in silent mode.The /s option is processed by Burn system, but not the variable, I need to parse the command line by myself inside the Burn application.Is there a way for precessing it by the Burn Engine? Is there a best practice for doing this? myinstaller.exe /S option=10 I want even report in the help page all the command lines arguments supported for my Setup application.Is there a list or a translated document or string to describe the base command line arguments that are processed by the Burn Engine?

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Burn Command Line Options
Is there a built in way for passing the value of a Burn Variable as command line options in managed custom Burn setup?Or I need to parse manualli the command lines args and then read the properties and the write them manually?

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Burn Command Line Options
They are there. Off the top of my head, /h maps to InstallAction.Help and /s maps to Display.Quiet. You can ignore the standard and make them mean whatever you want them to mean... although that's awfully weird and not at all recommended. _ Short replies here.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Burn Command Line Options
They aren't exactly there, Burn strips off the parts of the command line that it recognizes so the Command doesn't have /s it has Display.None which has other aliases. Marco, are you asking for the ability to get /h or /s? Or are you using those as examples of Burn automatically handling command line parameters? If they're just examples and you want builtin support for the managed BootstrapperApplication class to automatically parse the variables from the command line and set them, then file a feature request at http://wixtoolset.org/issues.
