/Passthru <Installer1 [, Installer2, ..., InstallerN]>@
This argument will append the specified command to the specified installers in a given package.
<Installer1 [, Installer2, ..., InstallerN]> - this portion of the argument specifies the installers which will receive the command. Each of the Installer strings should correspond to a section name in Settings.ini.
- the command to append to each of the specified installer's command-line. If you wish to passthrough a command that includes the characters /, - or # you must use the following escape sequences:
Sequence String
#0 #
#1 -
#2 /
Please note: All occurences of # in are interpreted as the beggining of an escape sequence. All instances of # and the character which follows the # will be replaced if a matching string can be found. If no corresponding string can be found then the # and the character following it will be removed
For example, the sequence ## in would be removed where as #0 would be replaced with #.
Example: c:\Package.exe /passthru AnInstaller,AnotherInstaller@#2l
Assume that the following is the Settings.ini from the above package.exe.
---Begin Settings.ini---
[default]
PreInstall = AnotherInstaller|AThirdInstaller
MainInstall = AnInstaller
[AnInstaller]
Name = AI
File = msiexec.exe
Arguments = /i AI.msi
[AnotherInstaller]
Name = AnI
File = AnI.exe
[AThirdInstaller]
Name = AtI
File = AtI.exe
---End Settings.ini---
The complete command-line executed for AnInstaller would be:
msiexec.exe /i AI.msi /l
The complete command-line executed for AnotherInstaller would be:
Ani.exe /l
