Execute process and arguments
I am trying to launch an install silently by passing -silent as a parameter to the setup.exe file that I drop on the target machine.
When I put -silent in as a parameter I get an error "silent" invalid parameter.
When I pass silent in as a parameter I get an error "silent" invalid parameter.
When I pass --silent in as a parameter I get an error "-silent" invalid parameter.
I can run the setup.exe -silent after the install without any problems from the command line. I am only having this problem through the execute process action during install time.
Any ideas on how to pass the parameter -silent?
Command: $P(absoluteInstallLocation)\temp\setup.exe
Arguments: -silent
Bundle Executable: false
Thanks,
Joe

If the setup is a universal installer, then you need to use: -is:silent.

It is a universal install, but if I pass -is:silent as a parameter to the execute process bean it is just ignored.

It turns out that for every parameter that has a space in it requires a blank line in the argument list.
If you want the following parameters: -silent c:\path with space It would look like this:
-silent
c:\path
with
space
Wrapping the argument in quotes does not work. "c:\path with space" passes the quotes and failed for me.
This is only true for windows though. For Unix one argument per line works great.
