Hello, thanks for the reply. I'm using a feature prerequisite. I know the suite projects and we are want to use it for our new projects but it isn't working because of some errors. Do you mean that i can only use the properties as a paramater if i run the prerequisite installation with Full UI. Or must the calling installation runs with Full UI? This is true for me. How can i pass the property? Like i have done? FOO=[BAR] Or something else? Thanks Simon ... View more
