Wise InstallMaster CommandLine operation?

[Dick Monahan]

I'm using Wise InstallMaster 8.03 (I know I'm behind, but I don't want to
upgrade until this project is over).

I need to generate a bunch of installer files, based on setting a Compiler
Variable on the Command Line. It doesn't work because the command line
parser gets all confused as soon as there is a -d switch in it.

Has anyone found a workaround to this?

I figured it out. First of all, the switches have to be /c and /d, not -c
and -d, even though -c works if that's the only switch. Second, the /d must
come before the /c. Third, ALL file names (even temp.txt) must be enclosed
in quotations.

I have been using the same standard code for parsing Windows command lines
since they were DOS command lines. It's hard for me to believe that anyone
could screw it up this badly. It's a very simple problem.
