Hello All

Is there a way to get a list of all available custom arguments to throw after a MSI file?
I deploy more and more MSI files, and it is starting to bother me to contact the vendors if i need information about this. For instance programs that needs some weird serial/servername arguments.

Thanks!

Public properties will be possible but I think you're stuck with that.
Wouldn't we all love to know exactly what the vendor has thought about during their MSI authoring.

It should be pretty straightforward to edit one of the scripts in the SDK to produce a list of an MSI's public properties.

Hi, sorry for the late response :-)
How would I do this? How do I see the scripts in a MSI file?
