Does anyone know how to do this? I have an exe that will do some file manipulations, and I'd like to pass a command line param (like the SRCINSTALLDIR).
It depends on your project type; for MSI, the command-line arguments portion of your launch-an-EXE custom action can accept a property name in square brackets (such as "[INSTALLDIR]"), and the value will be expanded at run time.

Why can't help files be as helpful as you? Thank you so much.
I agree. I can think of at least 2 occasions where I've wanted to buy you a beer Robert.
As a follow-up question, can you use this same technique for redistributables such as for example, when you need to set the SA password when installing MS SQL Express (etc.)?
