Pass install folder via command line

[NewsArchive]

I would like to be able to pass the install folder via command line and if
the installer receives, use it as the default install folder.

I am sure this can be done.

Anybody have a quick example?

Thus far, have not had to do anything too sophisticated with SB.

Thanks!

Hi Greg

simple.. two ways as per the Scripting Guide from SB help...

/X pathname - Set default %_SB_INSTALLDIR% installation folder to pathname
/V VARIABLE VALUE - Set %VARIABLE% to VALUE

Then manage with tests of those variables within your script.
