installcontext and command line parameters

[LT]

I'm not sure if this is the correct group for this question, so I apologize
in advance for not having the time to go through every group to make sure
this is the correct place...

Anyway, I have standard install project and would like to be able to process
command line parameters in the custom action I have created. Is there a way
to do this? I have read that if you have "InstallerClass" set to "true"
under custom actions that the "arguments" property is ignored-- if this is
the case, how do you process command line arguments in a standard install
project. I've seen nothing in samples that does this other than one which
has a "Main" (I'm using c#) entry point that processes command line
arguments the way any "c" program would and this doesn't work since if I add
a "Main" I then have 2 entry points. If someone can point me to some kind
of sample code to do this I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks,
LT.

Hi,


What do you mean by the "command line parameters"? When do you specify
these parameters?



Best regards,
