Running Setup.exe /s /v ??

I have a setup.exe that when run will spawn a MSI. I want to pass some command line variables to this MSI. I need to pass it a ALLUSERS=1 yet nothing I type seems to work.

Setup.exe /s /v ALLUSERS=1 /qb!
Setup.exe /v ALLUSERS=1 /qb!
Setup.exe /s /v "ALLUSERS"=1 /qb!

and many other and they all fail.

What is the proper syntax to do this?

Thank you.

Hi mh..,
you need it to type like this:
Setup.exe /s /v"ALLUSERS=1 /qb!" There is no space after /v.

could you not just grab the msi when it extracts itself and that way bypass the exe all together?

Yes, I could do that but it is not needed for this EXE. I really would like to know the syntax for this. 1) for this EXE and 2) for future EXE's.

Thank you.
