Command line Argument in exe

lizalemin · 12-19-2009, 07:54 AM

Hi, I want to create an installer using NSIS, In which, that installer should accept command line arguments.
for eg:

Let us consider, I have an installer, It contains two exe's, If I run that installer directly, then that should ask the user which exes has to execute. else if I run through command prompt, then that should have capable to accept my command line argument.. In that command line itself I mentioned which one has to install

command line arguments means.

myinstaller_name.exe -firstexe_name

Can Any one help me..

I only have limited knowledge of NSIS... i only use windows from time to time. someone else may be able to help.

I seem to recall NSIS was GetParameters.

EDIT: check the help docs
