View Full Version : Bug with passing command-line options to setup executable

I pass commands to my installer .exe with something like this:

setup.app.exe /Debug:true

I then parse the _CommandLineArgs global variable to read interpret these.

If I pass something that begins with a "U", I get a complaint from the exe.
e.g. setup.app.exe /Debug:true /Uxyz:true

I get an error about yz:true:
e.g. Invalid uninstall control file: yz:true

Seems like there is a /U option and the installer is assuming anything that starts with U is a match -> should be looking for /U:somename

I can change my command-line option and make it work, so nothing critical.
