msiexec properties gets corrupt when using command line
Hello I am using msiexec arguments to set public msi properties. I have discovered that if I use many arguments, some of my properties will be corrupt. I have not seen any documented limitations on the number of arguments or leght of the command line.
When using this command line: "D:\Setup.exe" /v"REDUCED_UI=CLIENT_INSTALL SQLSRC=HCARNUNISQLDNP1\DELTAORN SQLCAT=DELTAORN_MAIN DASS="FqQ==" LIC_SERV=LOCALHOST END_DIAG=TRUE HIDE_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=FALSE HIDE_OS_REQ_WARNING_DIALOG=TRUE CTRL_SW=FALSE AD_ENCR=TRUE AD_ENCR_PORT=637 CLIENT_SRV_AD=UseDB DMC_ENCR=TRUE DMC_TRUST=FALSE IPADDR=10.1.1.2 SUMASK=255.255.255.0 MAX_SETUPEXEDIR_LENGTH=445 API_RVR_ENABLED=FALSE API_RVR_CERT=\"DELTAORN Server API\" API_RVR_TRUSTCERT=TRUE API_RVR_PORT=443 API_RVR_SESSIONKEEPALIVE=30 API_RVR_MAXCLIENTS=100 API_RVR_MAXSESSIONS=3 API_RVR_REGISTRYUPGRADECODE={DEB44969-6415-4C8D-A410-7B1904083861} API_AUT_ENABLED=FALSE API_AUT_TRUSTCERT=TRUE API_AUT_PORT=40516 API_AUT_MAXCLIENTS=100 API_AUT_MAXREQUESTS=100 API_AUT_REGISTRYUPGRADECODE=undefined API_SYS_PORT=40514 API_SC_ENABLED=FALSE API_SC_WSPORT=40513 API_SC_CERTIFICATE=\"DELTAORN Server API\" API_SC_TRUSTCERTIFICATE=TRUE API_SC_PORT=40514 API_AUT_CERT=\"DELTAORN Server API\" API_SC_SESSIONKEEPALIVE=30 API_SC_MAXCLIENTS=100 API_SC_MAXREQUESTS=100 API_SC_MAXSESSIONS=3 API_SC_REGISTRYUPGRADECODE=undefined API_RVR_MAXREQUESTS=100"
This property will be corrupt: API_SC_CERTIFICATE: DELTAO?? Server API

If I reduce the number of arguments, the installation works fine.
Does anyone know what limitation causes this behavior? Or if there are any other reason behind this behavior.
Calling a Basic MSI setup launcher from a command prompt and including parameters where the entire command exceeds 752 characters results in a “Setup Launcher Unicode Has Stopped Working” error. Although the error is seen, the MSI still launches and does contain all of the properties passed on the command line.
