I built a Visual Studio .NET Solution MSI installation program. Is it possible to pass parameters on my .msi installation program. for instance, we would like to pass the Host Server Name on our installation MSI program for our bacth scripts.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
MyTest.msi elvis<br />
<br />
<br />
where elivis is one of our server names.<br />
<br />
or is there a better way to read an external source to read server name as one my parameters.<br />
<br />
Remember, what ever the solution is, I need to include MyTest.msi installation program to run on our Login scripts, so how do we handle its parameters, command line arguments or an external source.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Carlos.<br />

Visual Studio .NET MSI installation program

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

Installation

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
