Hi,

I am using InstallShield 2008 professional - AdminStudio[Basic MSI Project]. I know how to build a project without opening the IDE. for example :
ISCmdBld.exe -p "C:\InstallShield 2008 Projects\My Othello Project\Othello.ism" -r "Othello Beta" -c COMP -a "Build 245"
Installation build is successful, so no issue.

My Project Requirement:
I will delcare a SOURCE_PATH of the files(List of the compoents) in the Path Variables insde IDE(Media,Path Variables) and Ill pass one extra argument(parameter) to the IsCmdBld.exe, it should read the source path of the files then it should build the installation project.
For example:
ISCmdBld.exe -d SOURCE_PATH="D:\SourcePath" -p "MHDK.ism" -r "Release1" -c COMP -a "MHDK"

Could you please anyone sugest me on this, and also guide me if any other options avaliable for this.

Thanks in Advance,
Prathap
