msiwrapper multiple wrapped_arguments

Question

I have a setup built in InnoSetup and i need to convert it to msi. I use msiwrapper.

The setup file needs some arguments for automated install, eg:

setup.exe /var_a=1 /var_b=2

I need also to convert it to MSI, so i use msiwrapper. it is possible to pass arguments to the setup executable using the argument WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS.

So if i run it like this, it works:

msiexec /i "setup.msi" /quiet WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/var_a=1"

my problem is to use aditional variables, i cant find a place with such example. Already tried several approaches with no success. Anyone has a clue for this to work?

unsuccessfull examples:

msiexec /i "setup.msi" /quiet WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/var_a=1 /var_b=2"
msiexec /i "setup.msi" /quiet WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/var_a=1,/var_b=2"
msiexec /i "setup.msi" /quiet WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/var_a=1|/var_b=2"
msiexec /i "setup.msi" /quiet WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/var_a=1","/var_b=2"

and so on...

Answer 1

It is a bit improvised, but I have a program (EXE) and I need to create an installer, I did it using InnoSetup, however it is a requirement that the installer be in msi format for GPO installation.

(Next time, probably, i should use visual studio to create the installer...)

I need to pass some variables in the install command through msiexec. This can be done with the WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS argument, the problem is passing multiple arguments to the WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS.

I realized that the real problem was escaping the space character.

Problem solved by creating the install command like sugested by mklement0 anwser to this post, using "--%":

msiexec.exe --% "setup.msi" WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/var_a=1 /var_b=2"
