It’s easy. That is if you know where to look in the Help.

When using Setup.exe and you add arguments on the command line, you can access them through the CMDLINE system variable. You must remember that CMDLINE only stores user-defined command line switches. InstallShield command line switches are not copied to CMDLINE.

Now, in InstallScript MSI projects, you pass the command-line data to Setup.exe by using the /z switch as follows:

          setup.exe /z”arg1=value1 arg2=value2 arg3=value3″

Basic MSI projects are different. With those you pass public properties through Setup.exe to Msiexec.exe by using the /v command-line argument.
