external execute to setup.exe cmd line
I am running a child installer (IS 11.5 windows installer with IS script).
from the dos prompt I can run this...
setup_test.exe /s /v"/Qr INSTALLDIR=\"c:\foo bar\""
But from the ISMP exteranl execute this fails when I use it like this...
/S
/v"/qr INSTALLDIR=\"$P(absoluteInstallLocation)\""
I also tried this
/S
/v"INSTALLDIR=\"$P(absoluteInstallLocation)\"/qr"

As a test, does it work with just:
/s
/V"INSTALLDIR=\"$P(absoluteInstallLocation)\""
How about a hard-coded location? A hard-coded location with no spaces in it?
From what I've heard, the Execute Process action does funny things with quotation marks in/around a single argument...
/s
/V"INSTALLDIR=\"$P(absoluteInstallLocation)\""

With out the /qr it works fine.

from a command line I can use...
C:\snapshots\PE_CCE_DEV_vmtorpexpbuild\ccsbin\install_images\emulation\setup_ccsv4_test.exe /s /v"/Qr INSTALLDIR=\"c:\foobar\""
So I just tried this in the installer like this...
/s
"/v/qr INSTALLDIR=\"c:\foobar\""
and this does work. So it must be $P(absoluteInstallLocation) causing the problem?
