I am fairly new to AutoPlay Menu Studio, so forgive me if this is something obvious.

I am using InstallShield for Windows Installer, and like to generate a log of my setup. In the past, I was able to use my custom VB app (that worked as my generic AutoPlay Menu) to call my setup and pass arguments to log the install.

An example was:

.\Bin\setup.exe /V "/Lieumo C:\WINNT\Temp\setup.log"

I've tried within AutoPlay to place text such as:
%SrcDir%\Bin\setup.exe /V "/Lieumo %WinDir%\Temp\setup.log"

However, when I do this, and run the install, I click on my link, and get an error that the file could not be found. So, I tried placing my:
/V "/Lieumo %WinDir%\Temp\setup.log"
on the Command line parameters, but nothing gets generated.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi Mike,
Have you tried an EXECUTE PROGRAM action that looks like this:

Filename: %SrcDrv%\Bin\setup.exe
Arguments: /V /Lieumo %WinDir%\Temp\setup.log

I think that your problem might have something to do with your quotes.

Nope, no luck. I removed the quotes and was unsuccessful. We are using version AutoPlay Menu Studio 2.0.
