Exchange variables between two setup.exe files

[NewsArchive]

Hi,

I have two setups created with SetupBuilder 7 and setup #1 calls setup #2.
In both setups I have a variable named %SECURITYID%. Can I pass the variable
value from setup #1 to the variable defined in setup #2?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, no problem.

In your SETUP2.EXE, define the variable (and do not set a value). For
example:

Set Variable %SECURITYID% to ""

Then call SETUP2.EXE from SETUP1.EXE with the following command line switch:

/V SECURITYID 0123456789

This will pass the value '0123456789' to the %SECURITYID% variable in SETUP
#2.
