Command Line argument for custom action
My custom action is calling an .exe file and i want to pass a command line argument to this .exe.
/validate [CUSTOMACTIONARGUMENT]
What should be the correct syntax to pass such argument and what is the maximum length of command line argument is acceptable in install shield custom action.
