Is there any way to change/undefine command-line parameters sent to setup.exe through InstallScript code (i.e. setup.rul)? I have a program that runs setup.exe with parameters /v"REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=all" and for a first time installation of my program I want to undefine these properties since they will prevent my application from being installed. It seems like when I set them in the setup.rul script in OnBegin() event setup.exe still sends its command-line parameters to msi package and disregards whatever I do in my install script. Any ideas/help? Thanks,

I think it is possible to change the command line parameters you pass through setup.ini. It's just a matter of where in the UI or Exec sequence you reset the parameter.
My guess would be that the REINSTALLMODE and REINSTALL parameter should be reset in the execute sequence. I am basing this guess on InstallShield KB article Q105178
