We need to decide the downstream workflow, based on the passed argument to the installshield. This installshield will be called from one of the exe.

1. How do we pass the argument from the exe to the installeshield
2. How do we read the environment in installshield.

New to installshield and would need more help as and when needed.

Would appreciate responses.

Thanks,
Raminder

You can pass custom command line parameters to your InstallShield setup. They get stored in the system variable CMDLINE which you can use in your script.
