External proccess arguments problem
😞
I am running a basic msi installer as a setup.exe to install device drivers.
This runs fine with the arguments as:
/s, /V" /qn"
but it will not run if the arguments are set to:
/s, /v" /qn/L*v c:\drivers_log.txt"
Yet that does work when I run it from Start run as:
setup.exe /S /V" /qn /l*v c:\drivers_log.txt"
Any thoughts or wisdom that you guys can share?

I think you posted in the wrong forum, Multiplatform does not support MSI. I'm not sure what the arguments are that you are passing to the setup so I can't be of any help. Sorry.

Ahh… that is the point I am using the multiplatform’s external Execute action to launch the setup.exe (which contains an msi installer.) The problem is in passing arguments to the externally executed app.

Not sure, did you try escaping the '*' -> '\*'
