Standalone Build Parameters

Hello, I know that there is another post regarding this question but I need further clarification. I want to use the standalone build process - command line - to build a setup.exe from my Basic MSI project in InstallShield 2009. If I go through the GUI utilizing the Release Wizard and check the box for "optimize file size" I get a nicely slimmed down setup.exe. I cannot figure out how to set this parameter utilizing the standalone build process. I am hoping someone can help me out with this?

Thanks in advance!

I am not too familiar with IS, but , if you create a release configuration using your IDE, set the proper settings ( like the Optimize size ) and specify the same release configuration ( using -r {release_configuration_name} ) , does it not work out for you ?

Also, you might want to explore the -c COMP option.

You can also use the automation interface to make all kinds of changes to a project after you pull it out of source control and before you compile it.
